cess on the road playing at two dol
lar rate of admission and the present
week the original company is at the
Globe theatre in Boston. The play is
The Cave Girl and the above is men
toned as indicative of the newness of
the production. Middleton and Bolton,
two of the most successful of modern
American playwrights, whose prior
successes include Polly With Past"
and adam and Eve" evolved "The
Cave Girl" and naturally any new play
from them is decidedly worthy of at
tention. AS might be inferred from
its title the comedy is written around
fascinating though primitive type of
girl who has spent her entire life in the
Maine woods. The piece abounds in
contrasting types cleverly drawn and
the dialogue is of the sharp and witty

isolated camp a full two days journey
by foot from the nearest village. The
story has to do with an untutored girl
Margot Santere, who has spent the
greater part of her life in the Maine
woods and by way of proving that ma

show in what manner the girl measures
up with some of her more fortunate
sisters from the city when obliged to
shed all the pretty artihcialities of civ
