out a secret in the past life Of Major
Crofton. His wife had deserted him
soon after the birth of Leila, and had
never been heard Of again. No one In

that Leilia's mother was alive. and the

settles the fears Of the audience as far
as Steve Is concerned by telling him
that nothing could persuade him to ad-
wise his daughter to marry where love
did not exist. Rather than see her the
wife Of man she doesn't love. he would
tell her the dark secret that had ciouded
his life for almost twenty years.
At this period. the erring wife and
mother appears, IL seen by Aunt Doshia,

home in her little cabin. intending to
keep her there as long ~ she lives.

never brought home to me that
they really are like the different
kinds of conveyances until I saw Under
Southern Skies" which Is playing at
Polls Theater this week. Just as some
Of the late, very modern. powerful prob

speedy, and glistening touring cars OF
the highest type, can Under Southern

the old-fashioned victoria-large, roomy.

with the atmosphere Of q past and gone
social era.
Atposphere, in fact. accounts for half
Of the charm OF this comedy drama
Besides being mingled Unfortunately
with the direct action Of the plot, 1t is
inserted in huge gobs Cthere IL no other
word quite as expressive) for the delec-
tation and delight Of the audience. Old
black Uncle Joshua and Aunt Doshy
are as indispensable as some of the
white people concerned In the plot,
while Amer Lizer and her young friend
Phiny giggle and Jig and show everyone
just how happy some Of the colored
people were before there was ever any
sign Of a war cloud.
That reminds me Of fact which must
account for much of the sweetness of
the play. II the word slave was men
toned at all, did not hear IT. and
the nearest anyone came to army Of
flcers was in the exercise Of the custom
Of the day when everyone was called
colonel. At the Halloween party. in
the second act, four ravishing Southern
roses came out to the footlights and,
without any hesitation or embarrass-
ment, regaled the rest Of the party and
the audience with some old-fashioned
airs. Then when they had finished they

roles are reserved for the main char

THE INTELLIGENcER's SUCCESS

Before the balloting for senator

that merit. ability and general tit
ness should guide the legislature in
making a decision. and that the mere
possession Of great wealth should
rot be the deciding factor. Scandals
In so many states where IL was
claimed that senator's we're chosen
solely because they possessed great
wealth without other qualifications

state was stll smarting under the dis.
grace OF the Watson-Chilton affair.
The lntellisencer's contention was
that the possession Of great wealth
should be neither a bar o the decid.
ing factor in the selection OF q
senator. but that the choice shon:c
be made along lines OF essential quail
ihcatiOns regardless o. outside con.
~siderations. The legislatures selcc.

suggestion absolutely. Judge Cons
