products of their labors.
Restlessness and discomfort
ment are seen on every hand,
and all thinking men recognize
the imperative need of immediate
relief. The remedy is not far to
seek.
The Republican party has been
thoroughly tried, and it has ut

The Bull Moose party is a fash

The Socialist party believes in
and stands for equal franchise
between the whites and the ne

an impossible party in the South.
The one party that stands for
the man on the ground, that
stands for equality and mobility
of opportunity for the poor man
as well as the man more fortu-
nately circumstanced, the only
party that can and will protect
the interests of the consumer and
control the corporate interests in
the country, and thus bring to
our people peace, prosperity, and
contentment, is the Democratic
party, the party of the great
plain people, now being led to
victory by Wilson and Marshall.

Them for a sweet child is really the
soul Of the piece.
Edward Peple, one Of our most sue
cessful playwrights, is the author Of
the piece, and he builded magnificent
ly. They say there is nothing new
under the sun, but Mr.. Peple came
near engaging in something new. 1t
is probably the only drama in which
love is the motive and in which a
woman, the very font of love, is not
concerned. 1t Is the love of a child
of the north and a child of the south.
With this as the key to his purpose
the author has woven story of
thrills and tears. Neither is forced,
but both are natural and come as
natural sequences. And it is not
easy to decide which predominates,
the thrills or the tears Suffice it to
say that there was not a person In
the audience who did not weep, and
some of them copiously.
The plot had to do with little girl,
a Virginian, named Virgie Cary. Her
father is a confederate scout with a
price on his head. The fortunes of
war had impoverished him. The lit
tie girl saw her mother die and their
home burn. She lives alone and hun
CRY in little cabin on the mountain
side few miles from Richmond. Her
father comes on one of his hunted
visits to see his child, he has been
pursued and wounded. a detail of
cavalrymen under the command of Col
onel Morrison surround the cabin, and
the scout hides in the loft. The door
is battered down and the northern
soldiers, instead of finding the dan
gerous scout, discover a little girl sit
ting alone at the table playing with
her rag doll. With happy child talk
and adorable courage she fools the
"Yanks' but she is outwitted by the
manly colonel who discovers the MD
ing place of her father. Through the
plea of the little girl the colonel re-
Tents and furnishes Cary with pass
as escort for the little girl through
the federal lines in Richmond. Later
in the day a battles ensues in which
Cary saves the life of the northern
colonel. They are betrayed and
brought to headquarters as prisoners,
Cary as a spy and Colonel Morrison as
a traitor, and sentenced to death. The
littlest rebei, as Airgie is called, ap.

pears before General Grant and
pleads for the life of both men SO
clever and sympathetic is Ter plea
that the general becomes interested
and makes personal investigation
and pardons both men.
1t will be seen that the story offers
opportunities for great scenes and eli
MAKES, and Mr.. Peple embraces them.
While it is war play and is full of
powder and hercics, the fighting is
done behind the scenes and only the
rumblings of the battle are heard in
the distance.
The characters are deftly drawn
and are true to life in their natural
ness and ruggedness. Colonel Norri,
son of the United States cavalry, is
a magnificent type of the manly sol
der. He hats as to the full measure
of his duty but the little child con.
uuers, for he has little girl at
home and because of his affection
for the absent one he lets the manly
man triumph over duty Captain Her
bert Cary of the southern army is
another beautifully drawn character.
He comes home from the front facing
many perils for the love of his moth
erless child. Each represents the
best type of the American soldier
and each is true to life. The chill,
little Virgie. too, is not a, sketch of
fancy. She exists in many homes.
The other characters, particularly
Uncle Billy, a slave, are products of
the south.
The strength and charm of the play
lies in the wonderfully pretty love Of
two rough soldiers for two little chill
dren and the sacrifices they willingly
make for these loved ones. 1t is so
sweetly and simply told as to be
charming. There is loyalty, devotion
to duty and the highest type of man
Illness. Nothing is overdone or over
drawn and though the climaxes are
thrilling and the situations so tense
that ones heart throbs and unbidden
tears come, it is ali SO true and real
istic.
THE Littlest Rebel was splendidly
presented One doubts if it could be
excelled. Marshall Farnum gave an
ideal portrayal of the rebel scout. He
kept himself in restraint though the
temptation to deal in undue heroics
was always before him. He has a
fine presence and a rich, finely modu-
lated voice. Judson Langill as the
northern colonel invested the role
with dignity. He was the true man,
the beau ideal soldier. Quiet in his
manner, but earnest and in all his
speeches elevating and eloquent, he
made the part worthy the skill of an
accomplished actor. But the charm,
the beauty, the glory of the triumph
was due to the unusuai work Of little
Viola Savoy. She can Scarcely be IA
years old yet she gave the most de-
lightful bit of acting ever presented
by a child on the local stage. She has
everything at sher command, pathos,
wit, humor, the stimulation OF sorrow
or JOY. In fact this little miss is a
marvel. Her portraiture was simply
work of art. No finer piece OF act

"Cuby", the fit horse" bid for popu-
lar approval. The scenery is not
elaborate in the sense of being snowy
but it is descriptive Of humble sur
roundings and preserves the atmos
phere of the play. Grace Leith Hodg-
kins who will play the title role has

May Robson.

May ROBSON, one OIL tue HOSt
|, charming actresses Of the present
day, who delighted a large audience
at the Grand opera house Friday even
ing, has developed a type of character
new to the stage. The conventional
old lady of the farce with traditional
mannerisms of her predecessors, is
absent from the work Of Nay Robson,
since she offers a distinctive type of
the good-natured, generous woman OF
today. Combining the rare ability to
express naturally pathos and humor,
and her manner of expression sways
us to laughter. While there is a
wide scope for the introduction of
horse play" il. is carefully avoided,
and the movement of the action kept
well within legitimate bounds. The
play is well constructed, and above all
very funny. Miss Robson's characteri-
cation of "Granmum' is exceptionally
clever. and she had the widest range
for emotional work from which she
may change to the ludricrous and yet
SO quietly and so thoroughly at her
ease that it does not jar, but is con-
yincing to the last degree. There is
in the background certain amount
of philosophy which occasionally
glimmers in the lines, particularly the
reference to hereditary influence
not as an argument, but as an opin-
ion of a bread-minded old lady, gen.
10 ~ "a
should she be convinced to the con-
trary.
The theme of "a Night Out in brief
is based upon the absorbing love OF
an elderly woman for her grnadsons,
and the results of their influence over
her. She is curious to know what
the attraction is in the city that
draws the young men from comfort
able home at night to visit the city.
This curiosity is not satisfied until af-
(. ter stealing away from the house and
visiting well-known restaurant in
New York. Everything is apparently
proper until visit from the police
changes her opinion and urges her
immediate departure. The arrival
home in the small hours; finding the
house fastened-the climbing up the
ivy-the crushed and dilapidated ap-
pearance of Granmum, all form
most laughable incident, one Of the
many in this funny play.
"Mrs. Wigs Of the Cabbage Patch
Optimism, undannted by the rude

MYSTIC soul seeing everything through

philosohy of Mrs. Wigs with her
