The Challenge.

Guy Bates Post. the popular young
actor who won stellar honors in New
Theater productions. and The Heir to the
Hoorah.' viii come to the Columbia
Theater in The Challenge" a stirring
drama by Edward Childs Carpenter
The story of this strong play of the
west dealing in unrestrained emotions
and poignant situations, has to do with
the determined opposition of cattle raisers
in certain sections of the country TO 1rri-
CATION projects. The basic clash, which
is the meat of drama, is found in the
fact that a woman, a natural and beau
tiful child of the west, represents this
opposition. The love element enters when
the man and woman. utterly different in
breeding and habits, are brought in close
contact and attempt to disregard the
secret they see mirrored looking into each

Post a supporting cast of unusual merit,
