efforts TO learn charm and gracious
ness, begun too late, are pitiful and
tragic. She dies at the end of the
play. torn to pieces by her own in

whom she has sacrificed so much.
The part of Jennie is finely played
by Louise Closer Hale, with a com
pieteness of characterization that ov-
CROOKS no tiny detail and strikes the
note OF deep pathos as well as of HUI
NOR.
Mr.. Wicker, suitor of Jennie, but
with his eye altogether on the main
chance-a comfortable home and no
work for himself-is amusing and most
cleverly. played by Claude Cooper.
The remainder Of the cast is in good

was the work of Elmer l.. Rice. '.On
Trial first made use of the movie
cut-back on an American stage sue
cessfully. Besides. it was an excep-
t~ionally thoughtful, ultra-legal and
gripping melodrama. A melodrama of
the same class and much the same
quality is the latest work of Elmer l..
Rice. which is presented by Samuel
Wallach at the Ritz theater.
Mr.. Rice founded his play upon the
story by Hayden Talbot. Your re-
porter has never read the story. He
hopes You haven't read it. Your en-
joyment of this play will be all the
greater if its twists come as surprises.
For the same reason. the story cannot
ever be limited at here. All that duty
TO you will permit is to say that it
involves murder. hatred, revenge. love,
injustice and the final triumph of de-
votion and faith.
These, it is true, are the ~old-familiar
ingredients of the old fashioned melo.
IN 1T Is the Law" they receive new
turns and grip almost every word of
the way. The cut-hack is employed
several times. as was the
case in ION Trial"-and the rest OF
the story runs straight and true to the
final curtain.

chieftain pairs with a lighter-hued and
less impressive youth in a series of
dance duets which are classics of their
class. For instance, while doing as
intricate steps as one could conceive,
these young men carry on light con-
versations in Russian. French, Ger
man and Yiddish. They are long talks
whose correctness is certified by the
laughter of the polyglot audience.
Then there is Emmett Anthony, who

LIZA"
Away uptown-that is in the wilds
of Sixty-third street, between Broad
way where it narrows and Central
Park, where it widens-there is q most
amusing musical comedy. 1t is called
LIZA" and it holds forth on the stage
where once Shuttle Along danced
and sang its way for more than a 12-
month round. But since that first
great success of negro musical comedy
fame, the theater has been refurnished
and renamed. Days theater is its
newest title.
There's the dancingest chorus you
ever saw in Liza" There are spright-
~ chorus men as well as willowy cho-
rus women. Nearly all the men are Of
nearly midnight hue. The women are
of all shades from lightest gold to
darkest brown. We confess a prefer
enee for the men-not because of color
but because of ability. My. how those
boys can dance. There's one chap

through Il nurnber-it's called

town is asked, wooed. cajoled, forced,
flattered. fawned upon and bullied into
contributing. The entire population
goes down to the levee. for instance,
and unloads and loads a steamer to
earn more money for that monument.
But the monument doesn't matter.
What matters largely and humanity are
their efforts.
All sorts of specialties are intro
duced. They are contributed both by
men and women. We must dismiss
the wonen with a sigh of histrionic re-
greet. There isn't one among them all
who-it's astonishing-can sing. They
all can dance. however. and some seem

HOSPITALITY

In Hospitality" their second of
fering. the Equity Players have chosen
n typieally American drama-or in
other words, a play of life in a small
American town-for no one ever seems
to pick ont a play of American city
life as typieally American.
This play by Leon Cunningham is
simply and strongly constructed and
it keeps strictly to it's theme. This
theme is the idea that it is not enough
to give ones children food aud shell
ter, clothing. and an education, nor
even is it sufficient to love them in q
self-sacrificing way. In order to full
fill ones duty n should look upon
them as little guests from God" and
treat them always with gracious hos
pitaiity, as not ones " to utterly
dominate. but merely 10 help and love
and consider as separate Individual
ties with their lives to live.
Jennie Wells. about whom the story
reyolves. is left n widow. almost PEN
niless, with two young children to sup
port. She opens a boarding house aud
manages to supply all their material
wants. even sending Peter, her son..
to college. But she is such a slave to
her housework that she never has time
to win her children's confidence. to
entertain or charm them, so that their

The tragic results of this upbring-

around for husband number five. But

Yankton, s. D.-Need Of freight

AS stated in the petition this ao.

store the grain in this state.
Disregarding the speculative in.
