"The Primal Lure

The story of '.The Primal Lure,
a virile Triangle play which is book
ed for presentation at the Gem Sat
urday, Sept. 16, has for its locale a
remote outpost of the Hudson Bay
Company in the early days OF the
Canadian northwest.
The leading figure, played by Will
liam S. Hart, is Angus Mcconnell,
factor of the outpost, which is dignl-
fed by the name Of Fort Lu Cerne.
The summer has been disastrous for
the trappers, and they are deeply IN
the company's debt for provisions.
Angus keeps account Of what they
owe in little book, and one night this
precious book disappears. Angus
vows all manner of vengeance on the
culprit who has taken it. he keeps
close watch on the Office, and at last
he beholds Lois LIE Moyne, belle OF
the outpost, rummaging about ms
desk.
Unknown to him, she has come to
make him gift of beautiful par OF
moccasins, made with her own tar
hands, so he concludes she is the
thief. and has her thrown into the
gaol.
Then Richard Sylvester, the COM
pany inspector, comes to Fort Lu
Cerne on his rounds. He sees Lois,
falls in love with her, and has her re- e.
leased. On his promise that he will
have Angus dismissed as factor and
himself appointed, she agrees to wed
him. This he accomplishes, and An
gus takes to the trail alone. But be-
| fore the wedding can take place an
epidemic of sickness breaks out, and
in terror the cowardly Sylvester f1ees
with his bodyguard. -,
Angus, who has heard that the
Blackfeet Indians are about to de,
scend on the outpost to demand .

fering to the god who has brought
down the plague, happily returns al
| this time and resumes the reins OF au,
thority. The Indian attack takes
place, and after thrilling fight, II
which the whites are greatly outnum
bered, Angus goes forth to offer him
self as the victim. He is miraculous
ly saved, however, and returns to tho
| fort. But he finds that all the gar11

GRADUATES FETED.
Class of 1916 Guests of Dutchsown
Alumni at Deferred Reception.

The annual reception of the Dutch
town High School Alumni Associa-
ton to the graduating class was held
in the high seho auditorium We'd
nesday, July 90. The reception had
been postponed until thi@ late date
because of the fact that number of
the members of the association were
away at summer schools. The presi-
dent, J. r. Picard, called the meeting
to order and requested Miss May Cir
shefski to present the eolors of the
association to the class of 1915. Miss
Girshefski responded as follows:
Members of the class of 1916 and
fellow-members of the association:
The honor of presenting the alumni
colors to the class of 1916 having
been conferred upon me, | shall en-
deavor to state briefly sand simply
what significance this ha In my es-
timatiaA it means simply this: First,
we wish you to realize that you are
now one with US, that we shall al
ways be interested in your affairs, re-
joice with you in your joys and sue
cesses, and sympathize with you in
your trials and losses. Wawish you to
realize that in putting forth your best
efforts for success in life you reflect
credit not only upon yourselves, but
loved school in which we are all SO
vitally interested. We hope this
knowledge will help to keep alive
spirit of snever-say-die' in all of your
battles along the journey Of life.
Second, wish to plead for those
principles for which this association
stands. may add that I am sure it
will only be necessary to remind you
of these, since there must be some
thing wrong with the person to whom
they are not instructive. These prin-l
ciples may be summed up in one
word, and that word is LOYALT1kz
It may be that we are not alW
conscious of it, but | am sure
deep in the hearts of each and ey
one here tonight this sentiment
ever-present.
'sIn closing, therefore, let me say
that we assure you of most hearty
welcome into our association, and add
that when we present to you the
colors of our association we ask you
to stand with us for the best interests
Of the DutchtoWn High School first,
last, and all the time"
| Benton Rabin, president of the
class and winner of the 1916 alumni
medal, responded in few Well-chosen
words, after which cards and dancing
were INDUCED in until late hour.

lorated in green and white, the eolors

SUES ON INSURANCE POLICY.

fees, with 5 per cent per annum on

ted States district court in New
Orleans by Mrs. Marie Alice Aldige,
widow of the late J. P. Kock, owner
of Belle Alliance plantation, who is
alleged to have died as result of in
juries September / 1915. The orig
inal amount of the policy and a rid
er was $4,000, but Mrs. Kock AYERS
that, under the laws Of Louisiana per-
tanning to insurance companies, the
delinquent company forfeits to her,
by reason of its failure to pay said
policy, double the original amount.
The $4,000 additional prayed for is
held to be a just demand on account
of her having to sue the principal.
The petition sets forth that on Jan

Sally in Our Alley. .


When William A. Brady said he
would personally see that each star
acting for him would be equipped
with plays suited to his or her re-
spective talents, he never for a mo-
ment thought he would strike the
nail right on the head with his first
personally selected play and stars. In
sally in Our Alley" which will be
the offering at the Gem next Wednes-
day, Mr.. Brady presents Carlyle
Blackwell and Muriel Ostriche in
play which fits both these versatile
stars like glove. The eye Of the
camera takes the spectator from the
slums of New York to it's palatial
dwellings, and the costumes worn
vary from the ragged garments of the
lower east side to the most precious
gowns of the society folk. Interest

man interest, "Sally in Our Alley"
may truly be termed peerless pro-
duction.
