 The Girl From Out Yonder'' is redo lent of the sea. On a lighthouse island lives a girl and her fatner The name of the girl is Flotsam, the name having suggested itself to her father because, as he says, she came to him out of the wreck of his fortunes. Occasionally Flot- sam takes trips to the mainland, and on one of these excursions she meets young

 imposed upon him. It develops that the
 father is not guilty of the crime. Ex-
 plaDstions follow, and Elmer and F1otsam
 but why go into these pleasant de-
 tails?
 It makes a most entrancing love story,
 anc yet there is an element of comedy
 running throughout the action of the play
 that furnishes many laughs. All of the
 members of the company will be given fresh opportunity to display hitherto un-
 discovered versatility. Miss Scott will literally reyel in the role of FIotsam
 while MT. Warner the engineer will be seen to very good advantage MT. Grad dock, MT. Curtis. MT. Charles and Misses Soule and Crawford will all have good parts. The production will certainly equal If 1t does not surpass, anything yet done by Mr. Newing. the director

day and decided that here was material right to his hand for play. Miss Web ster set about dramatizing it and the story of how it ran for a season in Chi cago, another in New York and for many weeks in San Francisco is now stage history.
 Daddy Long Legs" has youth, charm and quaint hunnor. It is the story of pretty waif in a bleak New England or- phan asylum, whose head is full of dreams of becoming great author. One day, while the trustees were visiting the asy lum, Judy rebels against the tyranny of the austere matron. One of the visitors, Jervis Pendleton. rich and philanthropc man of the world. admires her spirit and decides to give her a chance in the world. Judy is not to know the name of the man who befriends her, but is told to write him monthly letters addressed to John Smith" She sees his grotesque shadow cast on the wall by the lights of his motor car as he departs at dusk and nicknames him Daddy Long Legs
 And plain Judy of the asylum is trans ported by tile magic wand of wealth to a big college for girls, with pretty clothes galore, plentiful spending money and all the things she dreamed about but for which she never dared to hope. The lit tie wild flower of the asylum rapidly blossoms into a beautiful rose and the saucy letters she writes her unknown guardian soon begin to interest Pendle- ton. He goes to the college, ostensibly to visit his niece, and meets Judy And then it is that the charming story begins to move rapidly and whimsical humor touching pathos and tender sentiment of the succeeding acts give the play an in- describable fascination.
 Henry Miller has produced Daddy Long Legs on scale of lavishness that is worthy the fine qualities of the fla nous stage story. It will be interpreted here by really remarkable cast that includes Frances Carson, Gertrude Rivers Kate Blancke Viola Cain, Marion Coak- ley. Bessie Lea Lestina.

Wand flag drill, by eight boys and
eight girls to music entitled March

followed by several pantomimes:
"Just Before the Battle, Mother"
"Star-Spangled Banner" and Am

ed the idea very plainly to the spec
tators. The little girls and boys
were plainly attired in white gowns
and suits and made charming pic
ture upon the stage.
Music was interspersed at inter-
walls. delightfully."- rendered on the pi-

SEAb0ARD AIR line
BUYS G. & ". R. R.
WILL MAKE IT PART OF BIG
SYSTEM..COAST LINE SHUT
OUT BY DEAL.

Georgetown, April "a: - Tn e
Georgetown and Western Railway
has been sold to the Seaboard Air
Line. President Clifford, of the
Atlantic Coast Lumber corporation,
went to New York last Saturday to
meet the Seaboard people, and wires
from that city to officials here con-
firm the rumor printed in the News
and Courier q few days ago. The
sale includes all properties OF the
Georgetown and Western-the line
to Lanes and from Andrews to Pos
ton. The Seaboard will take up the
operation of tlle new property at
once.
The News and Courier CORES
pondent talked with Superintendent
Emart, of the Georgetown and West
ern, this morning and he confirmed
the sale. MIR Emart asserted that
the property will be greatly improv-
ed for heavy service. The line from
Andrews to Poston will be link in
the through line from Hamlet to
Charleston and will be put in the
best of condition for fast and heavy
trains. The heaviest rails will be
laid and the grades reduced to a
minimum. The same improvement
will be made on the line from George
town to Andrews.
The Seaboard will put George
town sixteen miles nearer Charles
ton and such schedules will be made
az will make the trip between the
two cities very much more conven-
lent and quicker. Mr. Emart says
that the introduction of passenger
business on the Seaboard to Charles
ton will probably follow immediate
ly the completion of the connection
with the union station in that city.
Very probably. in the opinion of Mr.
Emart, Georgetown will have q
special train to Charleston in addi-
ton to the through trains from
Hamlet. A gas-electric car service
between the cities is in contempla-
ton.
No information as to any changes
in the officials of the line is available.
R ] Clifford has been president; w
n Andrews, general manager, and J
A Emart, superintendent. and it IS
earnestly hoped in this city that
these gentlemen will continue with
the road.
Very probably new terminal facil-
tiles will come with the change. The
Seaboard now has this port to itself.
The Atlantic Coast Line, which has
had q free hand for all these years,
will be completely shut out if it
does not build its own line.
