At the lyric


"Tennessee's Partner" delightful
fouract western comedy drama, is the
play selected for tonight and the bal
ance of the week by the Harry St.
Clair Stock company at the Lyric.
It is one of those delightful western
dramas with a strong vein of comedy
running throughout the entire action
of the play, and strong climaxes, and
beautiful and pathetic situations. This
has been one Of the most successful
stock plays ever put before the public,
and Miss Enid Dele, who plays the
part of little Tennessee, has been fea-
tured all through the east with diff
ferent stock companies in this partic-
ular part. Henry Gurvey and Ivan
Hambly play the parts of the two
partners, and Mr.. and Mrs. st. Clair
furnish the principal comedy. The
other members of the company are all
well cast and each and every one is
given an opportunity to display his or
her talent to best advantage. This is
not 'shoot 'em up" play, but rather
one with an intense and gripping heart
story that is carried over by char
acters SO we'll drawn and true to life,
that one seems fairly to live in a
western atmosphere.

Capt. Elijah Toms, superintendent Of
the underground workings, fell to the
bottom Of the shaft, a distance Of
1900 feet. The body was dismen-
bered in the course Of its plunge.
Searchers for the remains first found
q sock. This was picked up a short
distance below the fifth level. A
shoe was found near the 10th level,
as were also his hat and lamp. What

body during the few seconds con-
stunned by its passage is something
that is puzzling iron miners here.
