The Fortune Hunter, Winchell Smiths charming comedy of rural life will be the opening play of the Myrkle- Harder company next week at the Davis theatre.
 That a playwright of these modern days need not resort to salaciousneS to attract the patronage of the amuse- ment seekers has been most ConVinc- angly demonstrated in the popularity of this charming comedy with it's con- E1stent appeal for the uplifting of the moral of youth of today and that Win chell Smith,, it's author. has provided such clean, wholesome play and has Siled it with lines that contain as profitable a sermon as was ever de- iivered from a pulpit, surrounded 1t with an atmosphere of joyous nirtn and punctuated with broad comedy situations, that. while never offending. makes a strenuous appeal for laughter, Is a tribute being paid by thousands of playgoers, and a lesson of those contemporaries who desire to have their names enrolled on the scroll of successful dramatists.

WHEN THAT I LOVED A MAIDEN.

When that I loved a maiden, My heaven was in her eyes, And when they bent above me, I knew no deeper skies, But when her heart forsook me- Mp spirit broke its bars, For grieI beyond the sunset And love beyond the stars When that I loved a maiden. She seemed the world to me; Now is my soul the universe. My dream the sky and sea There is no heaven above me, No glory binds or bars My glief beyond the sunset, My love beyond Lne stars. When that I loved a maiden, I worshipped where she trod, But when she clove my heart, the cISks Set free the imprisoned god, Then I was king of all the world, My soul had burst it's bars, For grief beyond the sunset, And love beyond the stars.

 ture Made in England.

In this powerful production present. ed by the Edison company, both the peerless stars of filmdom, Miss Miriam Nesbitt and Mare MRcDermott, appear. and this alone is g. sufficient guarantee of It's excellence, It tells of Jack Nor ley, who goes to Shirley Towers over 3. weekend to forget the outrageous conduct of his uncle in cutting off his allowance. Here he meets Veronica Shirley, the dependent ward of the Lord of the Manor. During the day Lord Shirley shows his guests a mag niflcent antique brooch which he has just purchased. and later when Veron- 1ca returns to the library for her gloves she sees the big screen moving nysteriously. She screams and the household is awakened, and flashing into the room find the antique brooch gone. Veronica is blamed and the manner in which she establishes her innocence is told in a thrilling story including the pursuit of the thief over the sides of a moving train and along the running boards of the locomotiye This scene on the dashing express is without an equal, and the balance of The pictures are equally meritorious, and varied.

THE LENTEN MAID.

In plainest garb of sober brown, The pomps of gay and social life, denounced for a more serious strife (Just for time), as all may see, frills, frivolity, Aside her lively pleasures laid. You see the dainty Lenten maid. With air devout-that always wins She ponders meekly OCT her sins, And for their penance cuts her teas, To lectures goes, with aim to seize In Browning clubs, things of like kind, The chances to improve her mind. And be d student. real and staid, This literary Lenten maid. The sweetest little saint she makes, And more admiring ardor wakes, In this new aspect, sweet and good, Than in her gay and fiippant mood, But soon twill pass: her study irks. And sine will toss down learned Workf, To come In stylish garb arrayed, The gorgeous. merry Easter maid.
