CRESCENT,

Rupert Hughes, the well-known au-
thor and playwright, responsible for
Excuse Me-" has landed another win
ner in his dramatization of Grace Mil
Ter Whites remarkable novel, Tess of
the Storm Country" with dainty little
Emma Bunting in the title role of
Tess, an illiterate, bare-focted, untu-
tored, half-wild girl, a diamond in the
rough, a creature of fierce joys and
sorrows and tempestauous moods.
The scenes of the play lie IN and
around Lake Cayuga, near Ithaca,
New York, among the "Squatter Folk"
a colony of simple, humble, honest
fishermen. The story is like SER
mon from the pulpit; sermon true
to life and nature, a leaf from lifes
story with characters true to nature
mingled with heartfelt throbs and
pathos, yet a friend and comforter in
the hour of need and distress, moth
er's undying love and fight cor her
child, bearing another's cross and bur-
den.
The climaxes are in the nature of
surprise and not of the ordinary
type, keeping an audience keyed up to
a high pitch with tense anticipation.
A splendid and fitting production
and supporting company has been fur
nished by the management for Miss
Bunting, and an altogether pleasing
offering is to be found in Tess of the
Storm Country"

in the house is Maurice Delonay, IA
nous painter who has been sketching
in the neighborhood. Under his tutel-
age and encouragement Colette, pref
ty girl of eighteen, has developed a
genuine talent for painting. Her most
serious attempt so far has been a
sketch of nymphs dancing in a sylvan
glade-the nymphs being the little
bare legged girls of the village, hired
to pose at two sous each, and the syl.
van glade the orchard back of the
house. And-horor of horrors!-she

Colette refuses. She prefers a convent
to such husband and so, while they
are waiting for her to sign the agree

her artist friend. The artist-a mid

she brightens the whole place. Then
