ACADEMY TO HAVE
"FRECKLES AS THE
WEEKS ATTRACTION
Story of Romance and In
trigue Appeals to ALI
Audiences.

There Is no question OF the popuIa rity
OF "F'reckles." the play dramatized from
the book Of that name. which is to be
given at the Academy Theater this
week. The author of the Girl Of the
LAmberlost." and the Harvester" Gene
Stratton- Porter. supplied the nucleus for
a permanent addition to dramatic liter
ature when he wrote "F'reckles." The
story Is full OF good material. and has
lent itself most favorably to the drama
tization by A. G. Delamater. All of
the lovable and true to nature types
which appear in the story are entered in
the play; "Freckles,'' of course, the
poor little founding with the beautiful
singing voice, is there; the Swamp An
gel. whose devotion TO Freckles brings
him great happiness; Mclean, OF the
Grand Rapids Lumber Company. who
gives the founding his real start in
life. and Black Jack. the handsome lum-
Der thief. the sworn foe OF Freckles.
Full OF sentiment. a good story of ro-
nance and intrigue. II Is a play that
cannot fail to make a personal appeal
to the audience. Perry Golden will
play the title role, and Miss Ruth Gray
will appear as Angel. The usual matt
nees Of Tuesday. Thursday. and Satur-
dy will be given.

was the caption under which an en-
inent critic described the new pro-
gram which Lyman H. Howe will pre-
sent at the Columbia Theater tonight,
for the third of his Sunday evening
Travel Festivals.
There are at least a dozen thrills
promised-all different in kind. The
best part OF 1t all is that in trav<iy
with Mr.. Howe there is not the least
risk to ones person or the danger of

comes the thrill of gliding from the
earth in a Girigible balloon en- route
from Gotha TO Dusseldorf. Germany.
AS the earth recedes. and one feels
the sensation Of flight more and more,
1t seems at first like a dream journey.
But the rapid succession OF cities,
rivers. villages, fields. forests, and
farms, soon convinces the spectator
that these are animated views Of a
real experience reproduced So realis..

and a hundred times safer. Theh

thing that even he had dreamed. His
fondest anticipations had gone no
farther than twenty or thirty thousand
dollars to claim; but here were
claims worth half million each at the
least, even II they were spotted.
He did not go back to work In the

next. Instead, capped and mittened, a
light stampeding outfit, including his
rabbit skin robe, strapped on his back,
he was out and away on many-days
tramp over creeks and divides, In
specting the whole neighboring terri
tory. On each creek he was entitled
to locate one claim, but he was
chary In thus surrendering up his
chances. On Hunker Creek only
did he stake claim. Bonanza
Creek he found staked from mouth to
source, while every little draw and
pup and gulch that drained into 1t was
likewise staked. Little faith was had
in these side-streams. They had been
staked by the hundreds Of men who
had failed to get In on Bonanza. The
most popular of these creeks was
Adams. The one least fancied was
Eldorado. which flowed into Bonanza,

SYNOPSIS.

CHAPTER Lillian Harnlsh, known
all Through Alaska as Burning Day
light" celebrates his 3Oth birthday with
q friendly. crowd of miners at the Circle
hero and a pioneer in the new gold fields.
The dance leads to heavy gambling in
which over 100000 Is staked. Harnlsh
loses his money and his mine but wins
the mail contract Of the district
CHAPTER n.-Burning Daylight starx
on his trip to deliver the mall with dogs
and sledge, He tells his friends that the
big Yukon gold strike will soon be on
and he intends to be in 1t at the start.
With Indian attendants and dogs he
dips over the bank and down the frozen
Yukon and In the gray light Is gone.
CHAPTER I1I.-Harnish makes a SEN
aationally rapid run across country with
the mail, appears at the Tivoli and there
10 another characteristic celebration. He
has made record against cold and ex-
haustion and Is now ready to join his
friends In dash to the new gold fields
CHAPTER Iv.-Harnish decides where
the gold Will be found In the up-river dis
trlct and buys two tons Of flour. which
he declares will be worth Its weight In
gold before the season Is over.
Here Tor day he camped with Car
mack, q squaw.man, and his Indian
brother-in-law, Skookum Jim, bought
a boat, and, with his dogs on board,
drifted down the Yukon to Forty Mile
Then 1t was that Carmack, his broth
er-in-law, Skookum Jim, and Cultus
Charlie, another Indian. arrived in a
canoe at Forty Mile, went straight to
the gold commissioner, and recorded
three claims and discovery claim on
Bonanza Creek. After that, In the Sour
dough Saloon, that night. they exhibit
ed coarse gold to the skeptical crowd.
Daylight, too, was skeptical, and this
despite his faith In the Upper Coun-
try. Had he not, only few days be-
fore, seen Carmack loafing with his
Indians and with never a thought of
prospecting? But at eleven that night,
sitting ON the edge of his bunk and
unlacing his moccasins, thought
came to him. He put on his coat and
hat and went back to the Sourdough.
Carmack was still there, flashing his
coarse gold In the eyes Of an unbe-
lievlng generation. Daylight ranged
alongside of him and emptied Car
macks sack into blower This he
studied for long time. Then. from
bis own sack, into another blower. he
emptied several ounces.of Circle City
and Forty Mile gold. Again, for long
time, he studied and compared. Final
iy. he pocketed his own gold, returned
Carmacks. and held up his hand for
silence.
Boys. want to tell you-all some
thing he said. "She's sure come-the
up-river strike. And tell you-all,
clear yfnd forcible, this Is II. There
amt never beer gold like that in
blower in this country before. It's
new gold. It's got more silver in It.

Curly Parsons and another, Pat
