the history relating to the existing con
ditions at the time and in the place
where some of the scenes of The
Jucklins" are laid, it is said they are
remarkably true 70 life. The company
Interpreting this splendid play is one
of exceptional merit, headed by Roy
Foster. The management has spared
no expense to provide the star with
a supporting cast as strong as the
best, and the result is said to be EN-
inently satisfactory, both from finan-
cial and artistic standpoint. The story
is wholesome and true, full of human
emotion; it entrances, thrills, delights
and edif1es. 1t has the fancies of fic-
ton founded on facts and gives even
the frivolous something to think about
after they leave the theatre. The
