Any adequate theory IN explanation
of the phenomena of radoactivity

1t has long been evident that we can
not consider the atoms 10 be solid.

The Kirk La Shelle production of
THE V%irginian," as dramatized from
Owen Wister's fascinating story of
the West, will be sec for the first
time at the Jefferson Theatre Fri
day, March 1st. "The Virginian" is
a play of western life, when men
were men simply for the sake Of be-
ing manly, and when life on the
range meant a clear eye, a steady
nerve and a conscience that was
w bothered by the ethical niceties
of civilization, but which always
knew a duty and how to'fulill it. The
hero Of Owen Wister's novel has the
essential qualities of a real man of
the west, a cowpuncher as they were
before the barbed wire fence came
into use in the cattle country. NE

ization, and are transplanted from
the book to the stage in a charming
manner.
Perfect types of the plains are the
ranch owners, who take part in the
episodes surrounding the affairs of
the Virginian, while a charming con-
trast is Molly Wood, the gallant lit
tie representative of Grandmother
Stark, who eventually strikes her
colors, her Vermont narrowness ex-
panding under the sunshine of Wyo-
ming and the manly wooing of her
hero. 1.-The V%irginian" has been fire.
quently called a mans play, princi-
pally because it is a genuine illumi-
nation of the untrameled man and
the chief actors are men, but it is
than a mans play, and, there
fore, worthy of the attention of all
who are interested in the affairs of
humanity. 1t is a play that gives 20
it's auditors a faithful picture Of
what has past from the life of the
West, for Owen Wister knows that
country and has given a most truth
full version of some features of it's
life in "The Virginian". The STIR
rng episodes of the story have been
transferred to the stage with the
utmost fidelity, so that from the
laughter of the christening to the
tragic incident at Horse Thief Pass,
and the final scene, where strict
justice is melted out to Trampas by
the Virginian, the interest is con
tinually maintained, and the dra-
matte action is kept up to the high
tension SO necessary to the success
of a pay of this kind.
The La Shelle Virginian Company
has Away given us a first-class en-
tertainment, and this season has
made a special effort to bring to-
gether as many of the original cast
as possible.
