At the Denham Theater

For the week commencing with
the Matinee Sunday Dec. 2Sth.,
the Denham players will be seen
in the three act Comedy by
Thomson Buchanan. This play
was first produced in New York
where it had a very prosperous
run for more than a year. 1t
should add one more triumph to
the long list of successes that
the Denham now has.
A Woman's Way" tells the
story of how Mrs. Howard Stan
ton won the love of her husband.
Stanton is very much infatuated
with Mrs. Blakemore very
wealthy widow from the south
who is visiting in New York.
Stanton takes Mrs. Blakemore
for an auto ride and they meet
with an accident. The news
papers all take great delight in
publishing a full account of the
accident, as Stanton is of a very
aristocratic family and one of
the leading clubmen of the city.
Mrs. Stanton's parents insist
that she get a divorce but she re-
fuses to do this and uses "A
Woman's Way" to win her hus-
band. She invites Mrs. Blake
more to have dinner with she and
her husband at their home and
when both are seated alongside
each other Stanton sees his mis-

take. The scenes are laid in the
Stanton home in New York at
the present time.
The play will run for the en-
tire week with a special matinee
New Years day. At the matinee
Wednesday the photo of Miss
Evelyn Booth will be given each
patron attending.

Rutherford Gets Auto.

Milton Rutherford is about the
happiest boy in town. The reas-
on of it is that he is the proud
possessor of the auto-pushmobile
which was given as premium to
the boy selling the most Sun
shine crackers and getting the
most points from the wrappers
turned in. Young Rutherford,
Geo. Sinfield and Ray McFeeley
were the closest contestants after
the others had been eliminated.
The final count was made Mon
day night, and up to that time
no one knew the standing of the
contestants. The count stood as
follows:
Rutherford. ...............5 .553
Sinfeld .................. .404
McFeeley. .......,........ .373
AS soon as the count was I'M
ished Ray McFeeley very mag
unanimously extended his hand to
Milton Rutherford and congratu-
lated him, which showed him to
be a good loser and made every
one feel that he was unselfish
and was satisfied that the con-
test was conducted on the square.
Much interest had been taken in
the contest and of course many
will be disappointed that their
candidate did not win while those
who supported the victor will be
elated.

session, Carroll G. Pearson, supcrin-

to disperse, ana the trops fired with
deadly effect Near the Union club
