It is truly wonderful the of fiction that can be embed jed in a one-act play-beginning and ending-complete in it's entirety, as was shown last night by these people. While MT. Kaiser acted the part of the master of the household in a very creditable way, Miss Lucas was excep- tionally thrilling in her denunciation of her husband at the fall of the cur tain, and completely captivated the audience. These little one-act plays being presented at the Arkway this week are becoming very popular, in that they are altogether devoid of the cheap, trashy utterances so often heard in amusement of this character in the small towns. The title of the presentation tonight is "Their First Quarrel." It is a comedy and is cal culated to produce continuous laugh ter throughout.

There is character in "The Shep- herd of the Hills" the dramatzation of Harold Bell Wright's novel, which comes to the Grand Monday, Febru- ary 10, called "Preachin' Bill" De- spite the roughness of his character, he has a brand of philosophy that in it's way is quite equal to that of "Da- vid Harum." Some of his sayings are:
 Some fellers can do mighty big things in a durned little way"
 Every hound has his strong points, but some has more of 'em"
 "There is a bond of fellowship in sorrow that knows no conventionali- ties.'
 "God 'lmighty fixed it somehow so tn birds and varmints don't make no mistake, but left hit plumb easy for men and women t make durned fools of themselves"
 Hits good fer feller t be down in the back onct in a while, if hit warn't for that we'd git to standin' so durned proud and straight we'd go plumb over backwards"
