AYsEY MAYME APPLETON

NAYSEY MAYME APPLETON
spends great deal of time these
evenings sitting at a window
looking out into the dark.
Although her hearing is perfectly
good she doesn't hear when any one
addresses her. and when her mother
sends her to the kitchen for matches
she comes back from the parlor with a
copy of Byron.
Everything at the dinner from soup
to ice cream, tastes alike to her, and
unless she is watched she puts sugar
on her spinach and vinegar in her tea.
She spends more time than usual in
front of the mirror and when she isn't
taking her hair down she is doing it up.
She is so irrational and irresponsible
that, if sent in haste to the fre-alarm
box she would stop to look for four
leafed clovers on the way.
For Daysey Mayme is in love, again
and still And the proprietor of the
drug store where her Best Beloved has

that she has been in there as often as
thirty seven times for soda water in

His hair has been driven off his fore
head by the fervor Of his thinking, and
very thin and pale gold fringe APP

throws soulful interest in his voice
when he asks, "Sundae or plain?" that
proves he has a heart beating in tender
sympathy for those who gather on the

When the Millionaire Tramp"
comes to the Jefferson tonight, Tues.
day, Jan. %. the theatre patrons of
that theatre have a treat in store for
them. This great play of the genius
hobo" presents a combination that is
possessed by no other play for it has
in it happy blending of comedy, pa.
thos, and music. The cast is made up
Of some of the best artists appearing
before the public today. It is headed
by that king Of all tramp comedians.
Mr.. Fred. Upchurch. He is credited
with being one of the best delinea.
tors of hobo on the stage. For a
number of years he was a headline
feature on the Orpieum Circuit. Miss
Dorothy DeVere as Flo. the wait, was
with Richard Carlyle in "A Spring
Chicken" and is one of the best
known soubrettes on the stage. Miss
Mae Abbott, who has been in this
company for i've seasons, is one of
the many leading ladies that is al
ways working, as she has long since
been recognized as reliable actress.
j. M. Townsend. as the banker, has
one of those thankless roles that falls
to the lot of villion. He is more
than making good in this part as is
attested by the Kisses from the gal
lery and the complimentary things
that is said of him by the press. The
balance of the cast unholds the
principles and is very evenly bal
lanced. Several new and novel spec
ialties are introduced by the compa-
ny, thus making this one Of the best
popular priced plays Of the season.
