GOOD CAST POOR
 PLAY IN 'FRECK!!ES"

Those who are complaining of too much realism in the modern play must have enjoyed "Freckles" at the Elks' theater yesterday afternoon and even ing, if they were present. They prob ably enjoyed being taken back to the days of long ago when the stage feat ured bold bad men, honest to goodness heroes more or less real, and lovely girls nearly too sweet and too good to be true. Ii was a pity to have the very charming book of Gene Stratton Porter built into q play, for as play the tale of the Limberlost was very poor thing. It gave opportunity for few songs. however, that helped save it al though it was too hopeless to be aided to any great extent by the Introduction of song numbers. One of it's worst features was that it was WordY. for the cast was not to be blamed for the bOreSOme play.
 Julius Nelie as Freckles, the plucky waif' who guards the Limberlost tim Der leases was popular with the audi ence. He has delightful voice and his acting was far above the average in d road show of that type Dorothy De Mendoza was satisfactory as the "swamp anger' and the remaining members of the cast, William Kerr J.
