"THE FORGOTTEN SON- AT THE MAJESTIC

The play at the Majestic this week,
 The Forgotten Son." is interesting
 from point of an appealing plot, and entertaining for quite bit of fun
 which it brought out during the un-
 foldment. The idea of the son who
 has been cast aside is Ssuching one, and the play as a whole is a real drama but by way of relief and en- tertainment the author has introduced Moses. the black face, who, enacted by J. B. Cooper. makes the audience laugh all through the three acts each time that the plot seems to be getting too serious.
 The company has added little touch of music in the parlor scene in the first act. which is little social gathering. where pleasantries are ex-
 changed. but the gathering of a com ing storm is easily sensed.
 The play is presented in three acts and a prologue. in which the story opens in the west. In the three acts proper the events transpire in a rich eastern home. In the prologue, Tom
 Moore. enacted by Henry Corneas with great success is the rough owner of a villainous western hotel
 Ester Woodward. who lives with him
 at the hotel. is helped to escape by a mysterious ace Who is maskeu
 hold-up man and reporter in the hotel. This sets the action for the romance of the girl and the reporter
 and the "ace'' and the reporters sis ter in the east.
 Ester Woodward is made very pretty and attractive by Miss Maud
