CARRICk.

"A Butterfly On the Wheel" the
play OF modern English life which
opened in the Garrick theater, Mon
day evening, was written by two
members OF the house OF commons.
one OF them enjoying high reputation
at the bar as well, and the produc-
ton bears a mark OF legal thorough
ness and fidelity to detail that makes
it somewhat unique. This is especial
ly evident in the big act OF the play.
a courtroom scene In which the but
terf1y heroine. respondent In divorce
suit, is badgered into Mysteries by the
relentless cross-examinatdon OF the
counsel for her husband.
The story runs along lines that are
for the most part highly conventions.
Ii is the world-old triangle, the but
terfiy wife, neglected by her HUSBAND
in his ambition for political houors,
the good-locking friend who II all
too ready TO make up for the neglect
of the husband, and the inevitable
crisis which grows out Of this situa-
ton under the careful nurture OF q
scheming woman who sees an oppor-
tunity for herself to succeed the frfv-
olous young wife.
The first two acts are chiefly prep
aration for the climax In the court
room scene, the most impressive
scene Of this type that has been pre-
scented. The action is dignifed, or
Derby and perfect In detail. The coun'
sci for the plaintiff, Sir Robert Fyne,
Is wonderfully well-played by Stanley
Warrington. Relentlessly, pitiless-
", he questions Mrs. Admission,
the respondent, brow-beating when
necessary, insinuating when II may
put the Interpretation he wants De
fore the jury, unmoved by the tears or
hysteria of the witness. insistent upon
answers to his questions. Dorothy
Lane as Mrs. Adamston does not ap-
pear quite so well in this act az she
does in the other situations IN the
play. Her transition from smiling IN
nocence to tears. hysteria and faint
ing. IL q bit too sudden. In the De-
ginning she does not seem to nave
the impression OF the gravity OF tne
situation which we expect her 70
have after the incidents that have &C.
Cured.
Miss Lane Is charming, however,
and thoroughly capable in the parts
of the play which call for less ten
sion. She Is delightful butterfly

The fertilizer department of the

pany began operations this morning
and the indications that the factory
will have the largest run in its his
tory.
The products of. this factory are be-
coming more popular with each re-
turning season, and the demand is
continually growing. The fertilizer is
made especially for the soils of this
section, upon a scientific knowledge
of the needs of the soil, and for this
reason the results are always highly
satisfactory. Brazos County fertilizer
for Brazos County soils means that
you get the best for the least money,
and also means that the yield OF both
corn and cotton is almost doubled.
Only the best materials are used in its
manufacture, and all the machinery
used in it's production is the very
latest and most modern.
The factory employs from fifteen to
twenty hands, which adds materially
to the Saturday pay roll and contrib
utes just that much to the city's re-
tail business. All the money paid out
in manufacturing this home product.
as well as all the money for which it
sells, stays in Bryan, while the money
paid for foreign fertilizer is forever
gone.

keep Bryan money in Bryan.
