"A Kentucky Romance"

Miss Beulah Poynter, handsome young
actress, appeared at the Bijou last even
ing with her company in a melodrama be-
fore a small and very quiet audience.
"A Kentucky Romance does not quite
come up to the standard that the Bijou
has set for the last month or two.
The work of Miss Poynter In the first
two acts as the barefooted, wild little
girl of the Kentucky hills gave hint of
genuine ability as a winsome Coincidence
and character actress, but the last two
acts gave her part such an incongruous
turn that 1t quite effaced the good i'm
pression of the early part of the play
The trouble is not really with Miss Poyn-
ter, but rather with the vehicle she had
for the expression of her histrionic tall
erts. Miss POINTER was easily favorite
last evening with her charming person.
atty and appearance. Her gowns in the
last two acts were quite the best thing
of that period of the play. ,
The story of the play or fnelodrama is
simple one 1t is the same old plot
of the rich hero who falls In love with
the poor, ragged heroine-who is in reality
the heiress of the rich hero's fortune.

Such a feat, performed by volun-

without any previous cooperation with
each other, against the trained veter-
ans of the political arena-these

be a source of pride not only to those
