The engagement in this city will take -place at the Heilig Thea rtes, Broadway at Taylor, for .three nights, beginning next Thursday, with a matinee V ednesday. The play is practically a true narra tive of life among the humble dwellers of the Ozark b. It touches all the emo tions, and Its influence is wholesom and helpful, notwithstanding several rough characters that figure more o less prominently. The shepherd or th story is a cultured stranger, who comes into the hills, glad to escape from the PASTOR OF WESTMINSTER CHURCH EMPHASIZES SUNDAY SCHOOL WORK Largest Class,.

Emphasis is be ing placed on the Sunday schook work,' f which A. F. Blttner 1 superintend- nt. O. W. Davldaoni F. S. Streng and ther business men are interested in this work. - Mayor Albee has taught .onof the largest boys' classes In the Sunday school for more than six years. He takes great pride and interest in this work and rarely allows anything to interfere with it. This is one of the largest classes in the city and numbers about SO boys, many of whom have grown to manhood slnoe the class was organized. The Current Events Men's Club is re garded by Rev. Marcotte as a coming important factor in the church. C. E. Cochran, an attorney Of the O.-W. R. Ni. is president: J. L. Bowman, vice- president, and Hugh Henry, secretary- vanities and conventionalities to which he has been accustomed. There Is a flock needing a shepherd. and he thankfully accepts the lowly occupa tion of a sheep tender, but soon be comes shepherd of a human flock, the bi-hearted mountaineers, their fami lies, and all who need a friend ana a-a-viser. Among his most devoted followers are "Old Matt" and "Young Matt," the giants of the hills; Sammy Lane, glori ous In the beauty' of young woman- hood, an poor Pete, a deranged lad, who understands the voices of natural and sees what others cannot see. There s a mystery of the hills that terrifies. but at last the solution is brought about by Pete and the shepherd, and It is the latter who is most deeply ar flicted and concerned. It Is hardly -necessary to add that a pretty romance is woven into the humor, pathos and tragedy, for the play throughout is one of human in terest with a conclusion that is thor oughly satisfactory. 'FAMILY CUPBOARD" AT BAKER Strong Drama of Domestic Life to Be Offered t Week. "The Family Cupboard," the offering of the Baker Theater players for the week immediately following "Stop Thief" and . commencing with matinee next Sunday, is strong drama of do. mestlc life among people whose greed for money has all but wrecked their only chance for true peace and happi ness. The father struggling to get more wealth and the family fluttering away its life In petty social ambitions and miserable idleness, devising more ways to spend that wealth, is not a pretty picture. It shows the utter hopelessness of ever gaining true hap piness under such conditions, and that the sure end of - such false living is decay and ruin. That it inevitably leads to sin and sin to strife and loss of happiness Is the moral of "The Family Cupboard, which, however, is not a play of morbid scenes and heavy atmosphere. On the contrary, the play is full of vivid . action and plenty of genuine comedy, with a lot of highly Interest ing characters, and story that deals with a certain phase of domestic ex perience which many come pretty close to In one way or anotner.
