A. G. Delamater, the prominent
producing manager of New York,
announces that on Tuesday, April ],

nal, but of such absorbing interest
that 1T is net difficult to know why che
hundreds Of thousands of readers
have delighted ia the story, nor why
it has touched the palate of modern
fiction readers.
Neil Twomey has stuck faithfully
TO the text of Mrs. Porter's story.
Every character has been Brought out
in bold relief in the play and, where
the picture was in the minds eye of
the reader, il will now be in the act
ual line of vision. Delamater does
nothing by halves and SO he has
given carte blanch to scene painters,
electricians, carpenters aud prop
ertymen. A big expense Yes, but
the education of the thaatregoer is
cry complete and fer success, de-
mands perfect stage equipment.
The great "Limberlost Swamp,
in which Freckles" takes hold of
life, and forms his nature, friend
ships is realistically SHOWN. 1t is
a beautiful stage picture with the
thickness of the swamp forming a
dark, massive background below.
while above tower gigantic trees.
A knowledge of stage lighting makes
this effect possible.
