One OF the biggest theatrical success
es OF the year was scored of Tuesday

Nor is it a word of congratulation
suPerfuoas 10 the management of the
Dramatic Society which has added

The drama is laid in Virginia. near
Richmond. at the outbreak of the Civil

most TO the end of the war. The hero
is 'eyton Bailey mir. Willie Herbertl
and the heroine is Virgins Mont
gomery Miss Marie Mattinglyj.
Their love is sorely tried, found true
and happily crowned in the same good
old way just before the curtain falls in
the war.
During the three hours required to
stage the play the attention of the
large audience was held almost with
out a single pause by succession of
scenes sometimes gay with the pros

fortunes of war, while there was the
plot of the VILLAIN and the light play
of plantation comedy-the thread of
