FRIGHT OF WAY" COMMENDED.
Grand Forks Herald Commends San
ford Dodge for Clever Work.

Concerning the production of "The
Right of Way" which will be the Of
fering at the Calumet theater tomor-
row evening, the Herald of Grand
Forks S. d.. said:
1.-THE Right of Way" the play dra-
matized from the famous novel by
Sir Gilbert Parker, was presented at
the Metropolitan last night by San
ford Dodge and a good supporting
company now starting on a tour of
this territory. The novel has become
one of the classics of English litera-
ture 1t is accepted everywhere as
one of the best delineations of tho
character of the French habitant of
lower Canada, and or the conditions
under which he lives. In the drama
tized version the spirit of the book isl
well preserved and the play is i'm ev-
cry way. worthy of patronage by a.
public that loves clean drama.
Sanford Dodge gives an effective
portrayal of Charles steele the dis
solute spendthrift, who is brought to-
himself after long series of adven-
lures and Of soul-searching trials. The
part OF Joe Portugais the French
wuodsman. who is saved by Steele
from death, and who afterwards fol-
lows him with dog-like devotion, is
taken by Mr.. Bernard. The part is n
difficult one. as the French patois is
hard to master, and If it is not mas
tered the part is spoiled. Mr.. Bernard
has this patois perfectly at his COM
mand, and his Interpretation is n real
| ly fine piece of acting.
"The part of Resale is played by
Miss Nickerson, who played leading
parts with the company last season,
| and she gives n very wlnsome delinea-
| ton of the simple village maiden. An
| drew Castle, another member Of last
! years company, has the rather small
part Of Billy i'm the present play, and
he also does an excellent character bit
\ as the Indian i'm the second act. Miss
Gay, who was also with the company
last year, plays Suzon with spirit, and
later gives an effective touch to the
second act as Poulette, the red wo-
man. The other members of the COM
panv have been added since the last
tour. Mr.. Risdale as the cure, has an
| important part which he plays very
acceptably. and the woodmen and viii
| layers ore well grouped, and the play
is staged in an excellent manner. The
/ play and the company are cheerfully
commended to the people Of the cit
les where they are billed"

meeting we're men from this store, Canton
and Allentown They went over the
entire ready-made and yard goods situa-
ton with the leading manufacturers and
jobbers in New York with the natural re-
suit that in very short while we were
thoroughly informed as to coming styles,
prices and colors. At that time orders
were placed for many thousands of dollars
worth of merchandise, among them being
a great order for yard silk.
Our share of one order has arrived and
we consider it the best line of silk ever re-
ceived by this store-and we feel sure it
is the greatest quantity of good silk that
ever entered this city. There are over so
different colors and styles in the assort-
ment and includes soft Swiss Chiffons,
Chiffon Faille and Fancy Faille. 1t is al
