AND ORIGINAL CAST
HERE IN LICHTNIN' JANUARY 9

whiting couple of land grabbing
lawyers, provides the basis of the
play The action of the piece starts
in a logging camp in the backwoods
of Nevada. The first act is laid in
a little hotel run by Lightnin Bill
and his wife, which standing half in
California and half in Nevada at
tracts would-be Divorces from all
over the country. The place booms
when it is discovered as a resort
where one may live on the, Nevada
side and acquire the necessary six
months residence for a quick di-
vorce, while hiding from the folks
at home their Reno ambitions
While ''Lightnin' ." is a happy
blend of tears and laughter, it's tre-
mendous popularity is really due to
the appealing qualities exhibited by
its leading character, Lightnin' Bill.
He is absolutely worthless, fond of
his glass and his story, still lovable,
sympathetic and humorous. 1t is a
character that recalls fond memo
ries of the elder Jefferson's Rip Van
Wrinkle, and is destined to live in
the hearts of theatre -goers long
years after most other stage char
acters have been forgotten.
Douglas daily dispatch., 1926-01-03

'Lightnin'," the only play that is
loved and eagerly awaited wherever
the English language is spoken, viii
at last be introduced to the smaller
cities on tour. With Mrs. Frank
Bacon, Thomas jefferson, Bessie
Bacon, and the most brilliant cast
that has yet been assembled for
presentation of the famous comedy
classic, it will be seen at the Grand
theatre on January 8.
Described as a play for all classes
of theatre -goers, 'Lightnin'" is the
work Of Wfnchell Smith and the late
Frank Bacon, and has won a deserv-
ing and lasting place upon the Amer
lean stage. Tenderly true in it's
pathos, forceful in its drama, and
gentle yet keen in it's satire,-it is
brimful of delightful entertainment,
providing one of those evenings in
the theatre that are all too rare.
'Lightnin'" acquires it's title from
it's central character, Lightnin' Bill
Jones. Shiftlesss good -natured, brag-
ging and somewhat of t5ppler
Lightnin' is yet a figure to be- loved
and admired. Around his vagaries
is woven an appealing love story Of
a young law student who, by out

ing S11-2 inches above the hlghest
water mark. A fall of a couple of
inches last evening raised hopes, but
during the night an enormous volume
of water, coming down stream, turn
ed these hopes into despair as the
field of damage widened.
Many of the lighte4' structures
along the embankment have been
swept away, and the heavy pontoons
for mooring passenger boats are
canting at perilous angle owing
to their short mooring chains and
ropes. Should they be swept away,
they will do great damage by crash
ing into houses on their way down
stream, as at some of these places
the floods have reached the third
floors.
From all parts of the Rhine up and

communist government and party.
Trotzky's, re-inclusion in the po-
litical bureau after a years absten-
tion from all it's activities was fore
cast long ago and therefore caused
no surprise. 1T was shown that he
had made his peace with the hier7
archy of the party and would be
given another chance" to hew more
closely to the line of party regular
ity and strict orthodox communism.
Trotzky's own feeling, according to
his intimates, is one of sweet re-
venge, as he has the satisfaction not
only of regaining his former position
on the central comrnittee and the po-
litical bureau, but also of Witnessing
the defeat of Kameneff who last
year voted for his expulsion as war
cclpmissar.
Trotzky also is gratiried that his

Old Problem Leaves
Room for Argument

The question Of whether the bach
elor or the married man lives the
longer is one which has been discussed
for long time, but the problem today
is still unsolved. After weighing the
arguments of all Investigators and
comparing the bewildering array Of
statistics gathered in many countries
under varying conditions, 1t is impos-
sible to reach a conclusive answer.
Many statisticians and other investi-
gators who may qualify as experts on
the subject hold views Numerically
opposed to one another.
The answer to this question has
a general and far-reaching influence.
II 1t is established that the chances
Of long life are greater for bachelors
than for the married, both men and
women will naturally be Influenced in
choosing between the two states. The
moralist finds such statistics the basis
for argument. For the insurance COM
panies the question is very practical
one. Before millions Of dollars are
risked upon the expectation Of life,
the most reliable figures obtainable
are gathered. regardless Of trouble or
expense
