MAN WRITES PLAY

C. T. Darcy, formerly of this CO.
unity, is the author of In Old Ken
lucky, which is to be shown at the
Grandnext Friday and Saturday. Our
people will no doubt take quite an in
terest in these fine pictures that are
coming. Here is brief synopsis OF
the play:
Back in the days when the noon
sinners constantly fought the revenue
agents and carried on feudis5 battles
among themselves in t;!o hills of cid
Kentucky, lived Madge BrlefiS.
She is Lcund by ties Of blood ven.
ge;.acc 20 Joe Lo.ey, a nooasEiner his
father andher father having been slain
by the same man, Horace Holten. She
is half in love with him, until one day
there comes to the mountains a:young
society man from the city, Frank
Layson. He with party of men and
women, are on an outing trip, and
also looking up some mining claims.
With them is Holten, in disguise.
He knows the value of the rich min
ing claims on the BBrierly land and
attempts to buy them from her for
$1,000. Not knowing the value of the
money she accepts it. BBut Layson
comes on the scene, and finding out
about the transaction, froces Holten
to return the money and tears up the
deed.
To get revenge Holten tells Joe
Lorey and Layson has Informed the
revenue agents about the illicit still.
Lorey Immediately hunts for Lay
son, finds him and the two have a
terrific hand to hand battle in which
Layson is knocked unconscious. He
puts dynamite under him to destroy
all traces, but his better nature will
not allow him to set it off. In the
bushes watching is Holten. When
Lorey leaves he sets fire to the fuse.
But Madge Briefly sees the act
from her home. There is a great
chasm between them but she leaps
on her horse to reach the man. Hol-
ten has wrecked the draw in the
bridge, but she mixes the daring leap
and extinguishes the fuse.
Madge in invited to the Layson
home in the city. The great K en-
lucky handicap race is coming on, in
which Layson has entered his thor
oughbred racer, and staked almost his
entire fortune on it. Holten again
tries to get revenge by setting fire to
the barn., M adge rushes into the
flames and leads the horse to safety.
AS last resort Holten drugs the
jockey. Again Madge, who suspects
the man., leanrs Of the plot and don
ming the Jockeys costume rides in
the race and wins by nose.
Joe Lorey is the guilty man. The
night riders are called and go in
search of him with rope. They find
him and are about to string; him up,
when Madge comes to the scene after
a wild ride with proof as to Holten's
deeds. He tries to escape but fails
over a cliff. &~
Then comes the great celebration of
the race. Madge tries to slip away,
as she has been told by a jealous
rival that Layson is playing with her
heart. That night. she is to learn
whether he loved her or not
