The Fortune Hunter.

In one of Rudyard Kipling's writ
ings he tells of the ship that found
herself and in THE Fortune Hun
ter" we have the fascinating nara
tive. of a youth who found himself
The youth is like the ship he had
to have his course laid straight be-
fore his career began to make sub
stantial Roadway.
The story of Nat Duncan is one
that in dramatic form as written
by Winchell Smith, has attracted
the attention of thousands of play
goers throughout the country. As
a novel, written by Lois Joseph
Vance, it becomes a narrative of
profound appeal to the young and
old, and especially to those OF us
who in our youth dwelt in a rural
district far enough removed from
the metropolitan centers to be prac-
tically a world in itself and to itself.
Usually it is the country lad who
ventures into the great cities to
seek fortune and flames favor, bat
here we find a down and out city
youth, who, afailure at everything
he had undertaken invades the ru
raj districts to make a millionaire
OF himself.
That which befalls him prompted
a great New York newspaper editor
to say Every American should
read this great story, and see the
play" for 1.-The Fortune Hunter
teaches the vital lesson of the need
of charity and tolerance for the less
fortunate of human beings.
The play has been beautifully
staged by Cohan & Harris and all
leading characters are in the hands
Of clever people.

of unprecedented popularity, and viii

and she dealt the while her lord mere

She was also the menu, for II she
gave dinner of several courses 1t
was her duty to announce to the
guests, seated expectantly. what was
due to appear at table. A dinner Of
one course and she remarked that
they saw their dinner"
Then her powers of gentle persua.

the mistress OF any country house
was past mistress. One recalls Lady

order to perform her functions with
out Interruptions, she was forced to
eat her own dinner alone an hour or
so beforehand"
