Princess

"The Hoosier Schoolmaster." by
Edward Eggleston, is the leader at
the Princess to-day. featuring Max
Figman and Lolita Robertson. This
immortal story has for a foundation
one of the most intensely human
themes to be found in the entire
field of fliterature. The scene is laid
in rural Indiana in 1881. Ralph Hart
sock. the schoolmaster, arouses an
tagonism by trying to introduce
book larnin" into a frontier neigh
borhood where several schoolmasters
had been licked and run off. Ralph
boards in the Means household and
Sis Means falls in love with him. He
in turn falls in love with Hannah
Thompson. bound girl in the Means
home. Bud Means is the bully who
will not stand for ''larnin." The
masterpiece is in five parts and there
is much of comedy and tragedy, but
all ends well.
