the Star

Miss Nancy Boyer in 1.-THE Little
Lady From Lonesome Town." a story of

Town" is from the pen of George M
Rosener.
The story of the play is too long to
be told within the confines of this arti-
Gle. Suffice to say it is human tale,
or real people. of those who are not
any too good and who could not be
classed as bad, but members of the
great rank and file of humanity, who
are strong one moment and weak the
next; in short. everyday folk Rose
ners daring is almost too daring at
times, but always is that height main
tanned with climax degree or two
higher, and the play goes cumulatively
on gathering symmetry as it pro-
ceeds, until what at first seems almost
untidy ends, are skillfully woven into
the finished article. Indeed, a great
deal of the manifest charm of the play
comes from its unevenness and the fact
that the bone. sinew and ruggedness
have not been polished out of it.
For the role of the heroine, Miss
Nancy Boyer has been secured. She
is versatile and charming little
actress and there is little doubt she
Will become great favorite with local
playgoers.
Miss Nancy Boyer is new star who
is making her DEBUT on the Interna
tional circuit Though practically un-
known TO local playgOerS she has been
a popular favorite in the north and
west for the past five years. She has
played Billie Burkes role in Jerry >.
Ethel Barrymore's part in mid Chan

in 1.-The Morals of Marcus" scored a
success as Mary Tudor in when
knighthood Was in Flower" also made
decided hit in Leah Kleschna." She
has played many winsome heroines OF
stageiand. Miss Boyer is considered
by leading artists to be the ideal type
OF American womanhood. Local play-
goers will have a rare treat in store
when Nancy Boyer appears here in

At the Majestic

Patrons of the Majestic theatre will see
a. musical comedy tabloid presented for
the first time on any stage at the Ma
jestic Monday. october 2. when WHO
Was GUILTY." will be presented by the
Bernards. The skit was written by Al
Bernard, head of the company playing
at the Majestic theatre. 1t tells story
of negro who accuses himself of muir
der and persuades an Italian to confess
to the same crime. crime has been
committed all right, but neither the negro
nor the Italian is guilty. Both are down
and out, winter is coming on and they
have no visible means of support. The
negro has the great idea for getting food
and shelter for sometime at least. He
knows That if he confesses to the crime
and gets the Italian to follow suit they
will be both jailed, but neither can be
convicted. He figures the dope all right,
but he overlooks a bet. The justice of
the peace who gives them hearing de-
cides that the law cannot thus be trifled
with. He sends the negro to prison for
a much longer term than he expected
on a charge of perjury. Mr.. Bernard has
also introduced the usual number of songs
and specialties.
Her Fathers Cold" a love drama,
and also a one-reel comedy make up the
picture programme. The pictures VIII

there. Now in Charleston, which clings
to the traditions of the south, very few
negroes ever attend the theatre and
when this house was built it was
thought best to omit the gallery and
have an unusually large balcony, which
was done. Now 1T has come to be ac-
cepted as an axiom of the theatrical
world that the negro loves a minstrel
show as well as the white man and the
negroes flock to see Field like bees
