special grand opera orchestra, will

senting I'll Trovatore" and "The
Chimes of Normandy"
A stirring play. A thrilling
story lifted from the annals of
the great strife between the
North and the South. That is
The Littlest Rebel"
With the interest centering in
a child, the daughter of a Vir-
ginian family, which is torn away
and whose home is sacrificed
and wasted in the cause of the
South, THE Littlest Rebel" is in
a way unique. There are no
women in the play after the first
act, but the child Oittle Mary
Minter), motherless and alone
but for her father, who brings
her food at the risk of his life, IS
the central figure throughout.
There could be no more grip
ping scene than that of the bat
tie in the third act, which is
fought around 1.-The Littlest
Rebel" herself, who is on the
way to Richmond, with her
father for an escort.
Dustin Farnum, Lieut.. Colonel
Morrison, U. S. Cavalry, in
shielding the little girl and her
father, is found guilty of traitor
Gus conduct and sentenced to
death. Captain Herbert Carey
alexis b. Luce), the father, is
also doomed as Confederate
spy. General Grant, played by
Morris Burr, padons both men
when THE Littlest Rebel ex-
plains the conduct of both men,
and wins the heart of the stern
man of battle in pretty scene
at U. S. army headquarters.
