BSTHA WILLIAMS IN
A MANS GAME.

One of the most efficient emotional
actresses on the stage today will star
at the Valentine the first four days of
next week beginning Sunday matinee
and evening. Estha Williams is COM
ing in the great Western heart drama,
"a Mans Game"
In the play, Dan Mayo and his little
daughter are deserted by their wife
and mother. Heart broken, the father
takes his little daughter into the far
West. He settles in a crude town,
Silver City, and attempts to put his
tragic past behind him. By dint of
courageous effort he rises to promi-
nence and is made mayor.
Fifteen years after his desertion,
Mayo is candidate for congress. His
daughter, grown to young woman
hood, is the belle of Silver City. At
this stage, the lost wife, supposedly
dead, appears in Silver City and meets
the politician who is striving to ruin
Mayo.
The wife discovers her husbands
identity. Enraged by the contrast of
her poverty and shame with his wealth
and honor, she blackmails him with
threats of exposure, anc compels him
to resign his candidacy for congress
rather than bring disgrace on the
daughter.
From this point, the play deals with
the regeneration of woman through
her mother love, and the plot works
out to happy conclusion. "a Mans
Game" will play all week, with matt
nees Sunday, Wednesday and Satur-
day.

There was once a Persian ruler
who had three sons. The father
owned beautiful pearl, and he wish
ed to give it to that one of his sons
who had shown himself the noblest.
Accordingly he called them all to-
gether and asked each of them what
had been the most praiseworthy
deed he had performed during the
last three months.
The eldest son spoke first. He
said: ION my journey last week |
was intrusted with a number of val
liable jewels. The merchant who
sent them took no account of them.
One or two would never have been

lake, and while | watched him he
fell in. | swan in after him and
saved him"
You also have done your duty"
said the old man; "but you could
hardly have left the child to drown"
1t was now the third sons turn.
He said; LAS | crossed the noun

but something within me called me
to go back and wake him. This |
did knowing all the time that he
would not understand and that he
would be angry with me, as indeed
he was"
MY son." cried the father, "the
pearl is yours To do good without
hope of favor or reward to those who
have wronged us is to be truly
