PROBLEM PLAY DREW
IMMENSE CROWDS
ROBERT sTACY-JUDD'S "DRACH-
LA" TOOK THE OLD TOWN BY
STORM - THE GREAT ROAD
HOUSE SCENE.

The problem play, "Drachla," writ
ten by Robert Stacy-Judd, of this city
and staged by the Lynman Players
drew immense crowds at the Grand
Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights
That the audience appreciated the en-.
tertainment was evident by the fire.
quent applause the players received
Mr.. Stacy-Judd himself came in fol-
his share of the glory, when on the
last night he was compelled to step in
front Of the audience, when he mod
estly gave the players credit for the
success Of the work, because of their
excellent acting. .e..
We hardly feel qualified to offer crit
icisms on anything of this nature. The
stage settings were very unusual. The
scene of the road house where the min
lister mingled with the denizens Of the
Primrose Path could not help but set
many to thinking.
It is problem play, with one of the
greatest problems in the world to
solve. Whether Mr.. Stacy-Judd has
solved it with his "Drachla'' will re-
main for each one who attended to de-
eide. Mr.. Stacy-Judd has received
many we'll merited compliments on his
ability as playwright.

IRONS--FIVE TO PENITEN.
TIARY.

ing a slippery customer and the leg
irons were placed upon him. While
eating an apple and smoking cigar
cite with his right hand he slipped his
left hand to his neither extremities
and worked on the lock on the leg
irons. He succeeded in picking it and
was free man for a few minutes,
until deputy sheriff discovered that

hind the bars of the penitentiary to re-
fleet upon their misdeeds.
