AMUSEMENT CHRISTMAS DATE M ss Alberta Galiatm. starring in 'Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall" the p'ay built from Charles Major's book, comes to Stewards opera house on Mon day December 24. The time of the p'ay dates back to the happy-go-lucky days of the good Queen Eess, and the neighborhood in which the action is supposed to have taken place is t.-.at surrounding Haddon Hall, one of the bes: preserved of the Elizabethan manor houses. The story was dramatized by Paul Kester. The star appears as a wilful and imperious young girl, vibrant between determined self-indulgence and splendid seifabegnation. She is in turn playful and serious, self-cantered and se;f-forgetfiil, domineerng and submis sive, and filled with a cunning altogether without guile, a character which eives Miss Gallatin ample scope for the display of her talents. A strong supporting com pany is carried. SAUOH- m DOING WELL mm IN. InWuMrn Fr Kmd I mimt COLLEGE, SpRSGONl RELlff FOR DAKOTAS .
