ing, 1.-THE Dawn of "a Tomorrow

week as the new offering at the
Princess theater, beginning with
the Sunday matinee. 1t has been
two seasons since this play was
seen at the Tacoma theater and
the memory of a charming play
fingers in the memory Of all who
saw 1t.
1.-THE Dawn of a Tomorrow"
Is by Mrs. Frances Hodgson Bur-
nett, the author of Little Lord
Fauntleroy." However, 1t is not
child's play. 1t is story of
life In the London slums, with q
brilliant ray of sunshine running
through it in the character of
Glad, a maid of the tenements,
The play has many stirring dra-
matte situations, yet through it all
runs the lesson of cheerfulness.
That virtue can be Il Triumphant in
an atmosphere of distressing want
and vice; that the decencies of life
come from within and not from
without is the lesson that Glad
teaches.
As Glad. Miss Josephine Dillon
will make her first appearance as

sThe Enchantress' is PAGEANT
of Extrava6anCe in Costumes

Kitty Gordon, the much her
aided "glittering golden goddess
Of musical comedy, was daintily
introduced to Tacoma theater-
goers last night with the open
ing performance of "The En-
chantress."
She wore probably the most
extravagant costumes ever seen
on the stage of the Tacoma thea
ter; the play was elegantly cos
tuned; and the scenery could
hardly have been improved upon.
That tells the story of 1.-THE En-
chantress."
Elegance typifies the play, no
single detail of stage construc-
ton or dress having been forgot
ten. The chorus Is gowned as
prettily as the average leading
woman of travelling company.
In fact, the play Is continual
exhibition of the best conceptions
of the modiste's art.
1.-THE Enchantress" is unlike
any other musical comedy that
has come to the coast, and very
much unlike the other musical
offerings of Victor Herbert. There
is plot concerning the love af-
fairs of a wild young king, told
in long dialogues and interrupted
by dozens of brief songs. The
comedy devolves upon an agile
young man whom the audience
learns at the end of the play is
a secret service operative.
The real action of the play
occurs in the middle of the Sec
ond act, when Miss Helen Golf,
as Princess Stefanie," carries
the house by. storm with her
song, IT Want to Be Prima
Donna"
Miss Gordon sings a number of
songs. Gustav Werner, playing
the madcap king, is a young Ger
man actor from the Royal Opera
of Vienna, and shows decided
talent in his difficult role. The
elaborate pageant of clothes and
scenery will be repeated tonight.

PANTAGES

That the success of the past
week at the Pantages theater is
to be followed by another bill
that will even surpass 1t In merritt,
is the forecast that Immediately
suggests itself from a glance at
the new schedule. The four IA
nous Marx Brothers are coming
and they are bringing with them
company Of eighteen players,
mostly girls. Fun in a High
School" is the title of an offer
ing that has been classed as Al
by every city on the circuit.
The reputation of the Four
Marx Brothers as comedians and
dancers is well known and the Is
players surrounding them are said
to be remarkably skilled in sing
ing and dancing. There is an
other headline offering that is
even better than Fun in a High
School," 1t is called Mr.. Green 8
Reception" and is also presented
by the Marx Brothers and COM
pany. 1t is widely different from
the first offering and has for its
feature Tango contest.
Then, by way of the third big
feature, Greve and Green will pre-
sent Page From Minstrelsy."
Both are clever comedians and &C
complished musicians. Their act
has the merit of novelty and orig
inality and ripples along with
laughter and excellent music.
Eddie Howard, the crazy
tumbler," will provide more
laughter and any amount of thrills.
Claiming their share of honors,
the Harris Boys will have a
bright spot on the new bill. For
novelty, speed and originality they
are said to be in the front rank
of American dancers.

Skeene turned lazy and lined the dead water with
traps and SETTINGS, and when Hale demonstrated
Skeene laughed.
Then Hale threatened him and limited about moose
wardens and $500 fines, but Skeene thrashed Hale
before the whole camp packed his kit and canoe and
padded serenely away down the West Branch
That really began the trouble, and Hale never

Henderson on the upper Portage, Hale heard of it
and ran him out.
Possibly, if they had let him alone, he might have

tant flash OF paddle startled the deer at sunrise
among the lily-pads.
Once they saw Skeene for a moment standing in
the stern of his The canoe lay at the mouth
OF the Little Misery that dead stretch of water and
dead-fall winding through the bog to the southwark
They gave chase trailing Skeene's canoe by the wake

But the Little Misery is strange stream draining
strange land, and there, in that Of cuts and
channels OF logans" and quick water, of swamp,
shoa sedge and spectral ranks of dead trees tower
ing above swae and deadwood, they stood no chance
And SO they hunted Skeene at twilight, at dusk of
morning at high noon, from the Northeast Carry to
the Northwest Carry from the West Branch Of Se-
boomook, from Portage to Lily Bay and through q
hundred miles of lake and stream up and down, up
and down. In August they gave up the chase.
That evening Skeene stood on wind-faH in tho
depths of the Little Misery and watched three
file out of the discharge and glide into Moose River
The next morning he started lean to the ridge
back of the Little Misery and the sharp crack and
thwack OF his axe rang out over Red Lake.
At noon the echoes of axe-strokes died away and
the hut was matched with balsam. BY O'Clock q
spike buck, yearng, lay across log on the ridge
and at o'clock Skeene had satisfied his hunger.
In the days that followed, Skeene learned to talk
to himself When he did this he forgot that he had
killed Sebato; after while he forgot it altogether
When the August afternoons were ablaze with
