sented by the w. I. Swain show last
night was refreshing to the average
theatregoer after a long siege of mu-
steal comedy. drama and other at
fractions this city Is accustomed to
seeing.
The play was enjoyed immensely.
The Swain show has made it as strong
a production as often given by big
companies. The members of the cast
were at their best and the audience
realized 1t by tremendous applause
throughout the play. 1t is seldom that
a popular price company, especially
one under canvas even attempt to pro-
duce such a drama The fact that
Augusta Evans Wilson wrote 1t helped
to pack the big tent. 1t is modern
drama, with a strong story that held
the audience at high pitch from start
to finish. The verdict OF all who at
tended was that it was a most un-
usual production well worthy OF the
highest praise.
This afternoon at 2:so p. m, a
special matinee performance of East
Lynne, the old English emotional drama
with a thousand laughs and weeps.
The closing performance tonight will
be the Life Of Deadwood Dick" the

at 1925 that Floyd Allen was dead, the
body was hastily removed and the
guards went back for Claude, a young
man six feet two inches tall and
straight as a statue. He walked

glanced casually at the witnesses who
sat before the chair. There was less
delay in arranging the straps for the
second execution, one minute elapsing
before the power was applied At
