MISS ELLINGTON

After a season of conventional plays
"Kindlng" is novelty II treats with
its subject in a manner far different

emotional actress with a wonderful
opportunity To display her ability. The

gle Schultz. wife of an East Side stew

the basis of good health and strength.
Schultz is man possessed with hard
common sense, and with his wife he
fears that IL is wrong to bring child
into the world without half chance
in the stihling conditions of the New
York tenements
Miss Ellington and her capable COM
pany are beyond criticism. Few head
liners that have visited Calumet held
the sympathy of their audience so well.
Frequently there was suspicion of
moisture i'm many eyes. but not all of
the play was of this nature. Miss Ida

one of the best character actresses
that have ever visited this city and
provoked more than one hearty laugh
