In the stage version used by the Redmonds, the scenes have been painted from photographic reproductions of the famous Grand Canyon and the cOlorful as well as picturesque backings will prove a keen feature of the play. William Vaughan Moody. scholar and thinker, wrote. The Great Divide" while a resident of this state, and he select ed his characters from life and found- ed his story upon an actual happen ing.
 The Great Divide" owes it's great ness to the fact that it combines a rather completing question with un- usual dramatic strength. To save her honor. a woman marries a man whom she has never seen until within the hour. and under most repulsive con- ditions. She is of New England birth and breeding and possesses ideas of feminine rectitude inherited from a Puritan ancestry, while he whom she Wcds is in every respect antithetic To her ideal of perfect manhood. Did she do right in mating with him? Would it not have been more con- sistent with her character if she had preferred death to such a union? .? Those are the questions that obtrude after the play has been seen, and there is no unanimity of answer.
 The story opens showing Ruth Jor- dan alone in the isolated ranch house and the advent of the three unprin- cipled scoundrels. In order to protect herself from their foul purpose, she selects Stephen Ghent, the least das- tardly of the trio, and promises to marry him. Ghent bargains with gold which Pedro accepts, but he is obliged to kill Dutch. The girl later repents her choice and soon earns enough to buy her freedom. The final act shows her in her Massachusetts home and the arrival of Ghent who. through Love. has mended his ways and soon succeeds in making himself worthy of the girls love.
 Hugh Metcafe will appear as Ste phen Ghent. Audell Higgins in the role of Ruth Jordan, and Roscoe Karns as Winthrop Newberry. The remaining members will give ample support. The Great Divide" will be staged from Tuesday up to and in
 cluding the Sunday evening perform
