In 1.-The Copperhead" George

roles ever written. First he is seen

plays.
The first two acts of "The
Copperhead" deal with the
early period of the Civil War, Lin
coins call for volunteers, and the
exciting events that followed the be-
ginning of the conflict. The second
period is very near our own time and
deals entirely with the conse-
quences of those events upon the cir
cunstances of the third generation.

GREAT HIT TO
BE BERKELL BILL

Those who have seen that highly
amusing comedy drama, "Abie's
Irish Rose" will have another OPP
portunity to enjoy it next week at
English's with the members of the
BerkelI Players portraying the vari-
Gus characters whom the author has
endowed with such clever wit.
This splendid stage spectacle
needs no introduction. as it has
been played here two or three times
within the last two years, each time
to capacity houses, and with a cor
dial criticism by the newspaper
writer's. It is the one play in the
history of theatrical successes which
played continually for about six
years, outrunning any show yet to
be presented. 1t is now wholly in
stock managers hands.
Probably the secret of It's success
is due to it's underlying theme of
tolerance, that quality of character
which every American loves, and to
its clean comedy, which is Of a
highly clever sort.
Miss Edythe Elliott will play the
Irish girl, Rosemary who falls in
love with the son of a Jewish mer-
chant, much to the discomfort Of
the boys father, of course, until it
is made clear to him that racial
differences are of small consequence
in comparison with an individuals
happiness.
