dramatization Of Harold Bell Wright's
novel, which holds the record for the

an air of mystery that will hold the
auditor from beginning to end.
The story has to do with the father
of an artist, who. tired Of city life. goes
into the Ozarks for peace and quiet
mitted by his son, whom he mOurns as
dead. The son had visited the hills
some years before. when he fell in
love with a simple country girl He

1t is to the home of this dead and
wronged girl that the father of the art
list comes, and here he Is employed to
watch the sheep. He grows to love the
country and it's people, and he and the
half witted boy, Pete, become friends.
Then there is a love story running
through the play that adds to its at
Effectiveness. It is the love Of q young
giant Of the hills for Sammy Lane, a
girl OF unusual qualities.
There are several characters whose
quaint humor is a decided novelty.
Taken as a whole, the play promises
to prove a refreshing change from the
general run Of dramatic attractions
this season.
Messrs. Gaskill and Macvitty. the
producers. are said to have given the
play an elaborate mounting, the
mountains Of the Ozark affordfng an
opportunity for some fine examples of
the scenic painters art. The cast has
been selected for their peculiar fitness
for each style.

This production is to be produced
after a considerable amount Of extra
trouble and expense and is being Of

lesson for this season of the year.
The story is one that cannot be told
in a few words and the lesson that 1t
imparts can only be obtained by &C
tually witnessing the play. It shows
us all what we should be and what
we are not, what we owe to God and
His church and what the church owes
to u.s. The greatness of the Father

man and the moral obligation of men
