half dead Of their suffering, half blind

THEATERS.

The glad play, "Pollyanna," is as
bracing as a mountain climb. 1t sends
the blood about its business of health,
and gives tone and gladness to the
body. 1t does more and better, by
keeping the lamp Of good nature burn
ing brightly in the heart. and leading
thoughts away from the mean and
chilling things of life. The characters
of the famous play are brought be-
fore us by men and women who are
foremost in the theatrical profession,
which means an evening of perfect
good cheer, for Pollyanna in its glad
nature and purpose is the most notable
dramatic production in recent years.
It radiates the sunshine of living, puts
heart into the weary laden and sweeps
away the shadows of trouble as the
sun does the mist The magica, Polly

the effect Of removing all rcstric-

1.-THE Shepherd Of the Hills"
A photoplay Of good philosophy I'M
folded in story that interests, and
with an underlying preachment that
is timely and valuable, is found in
"The Shepherd of the Hills" at the
Grand Wednesday and Thursday.
This drama is a perturbation of Har-
old Bell Wright's everything novel OF
the same name. Beneath the surface
Of the story, in which there is a
quantity OF heart interest and dra-
matte possibilities, there is mes
sage that cannot help but find re-
sponsive chord in the hearts OF
theatergoers. The same qualities
that made the novel read and en-
ioyed by millions will make the
photoplay stand long as a drawing
attraction. The scene OF the play is
laid in the Ozark mountains, where
our so-called civilization has not yet
spread its refining but eneryating in
fluences. A father, resolved to blot
out as much as possible the sin of
his artist son, leaves his life Of ease
and elegance to come among these
people. Among the hills and in the
woods. he can drop the carping prac-
liabilities of life and can listen to
the wind, natures only voice, as it
sings to him its song OF ideals, OF
beauty and of strength. It's message
he transmits to the people about
him. He does not preach the gospel
of good, but acts its commandments.
AS result he brings peace where
there was unrest, forgiveness where
there was the spirit of revenge, love
where there was hate. Throughout
this play there is no effort at SER
monizing, yet as in a crystal it shows
the things that are really big and
worth while.
