Stirring Picture at Peoples.


The Peoples headline Offering is A
Dangerous Experiment" 4 Victor dra-
ma in two parts. The story is daring
IN theme, yet it holds attention and
interest from the first, driving home
conviction and assuring one of the fact
mat there are some things in this
world that are too strange for tho
lay mimi to grasp or understand.
The situation evolved in this play
is unique.
An understood student has a rival
in the school athlete for the love OF
It gin. The student, interested in the
occult. brings about transition f
souls; that is To say, he transfers ais
soul into the body of the athlete and
forces the athletes soul into his own.
After the completion of the experiment
the student is unable To change back.
Around this situation is 'ritten ~
love story of unusual mcris, and the
possibilities for acting, fr character
studies are tremendous.
The sauls of the two men are seen
actually travelling froh one body to
the other. When NE athlete finds
himself locked mp - the puny body al
the student, his anguish is awful. His !
football comparons who formerly |
looked up to hin as their peerless lead
or now laugh in derioion at his pl-
tcous attcmys To tell them who he
really is. yhe student, when sclf-en-

smashey in blind rage the crystal |

chanSe.
TIE student previously believed that
if ne only had a fine physical frame |
!" would nave more chance i'm the |
loved ones affections. His father, 70
urnng from India, brings With him Il
wise old Hindu swami, who, finding
he boy is interested in the things that
interest him, gives him some of the
secrets. 1t is through this uncanny
knowledge that the student, in Il hvp-
MOTTO trance, exchanges his body foe
hat of The athletes
The plot, however. does not work
Dut as desired, for the girl transfers
ler affections To what appears to he
he student. She does not know why
his is. but the student now in the
lthlcte's body. realizes that, after all,
I is not the outward appearance of the
nan that attracts her but the real
nan himself He therefore,. tries 10 gci

lex of time the swami roappears and

The Trail Of the
Lonesome Pine

Everybody loves barefoot little
girl-so declares this charming type
Of the American stage betauty, Isabelle
Lowe. who, BY the way. halls from
Texas.
How does she know%' asks the
poor untutored member Of the lay cult
Simple enough Miss Lowe goes
foot herself. On the street? Oh. no,
just on the stage. and her shapely
ankles and well cured I'D feet have
many an enyious feminine tongue wag-
ging on the subject OF fate's bountifGl
generosity to some folks.
Miss Lowe plays the stellar role OF
June. the primitive mountain girl
in Eugene Walters The Trail Of the
Lonesome Pine
In June Nature seems to have
blended ALI her moods. says Miss
Lowe, describing the character size
porlrays In her the fierceness OF
the tempest RACES with the fury of the
volcanic funnel as it enwraps The
mountain peak The joy Of the r.apling
brook and the delightful peace OF the
twilight are all exemplified in the ever
changing moods Of this barefoot lass"
June is child OF nature To her
the breezes carry messages from the
tree tops and the flowers look up with
appealing glances that bring her words
Of cheer and love
Would such a girl wear shoes
think not The very wildness in which
she communes so lovingly with nature
would revolt al the idea and half the
beauty Of the atmosphere which Mr..
Walter has so deftly painted around
her wistful self would be lost by the
addition Of calfskins to her dainty feet
That's why I love to run barefoot on
the stage when I'm playing June"
Miss Lowe is said to be one Of the
real beauties Of the stage. Her inter
probation Of the role OF June in The
Trail OF the I.onesome Pine" marks
her as one Of the most promising stars
Of the stage.
