TONIGHT
PLAY DEALING WITH LIFE IN
A. MINING CAMP IN THE
FAR WEST'
The play deals chiefly with the for
tunes of the heroine, a young eastern
girl of good bitrh and lineage, who
by the untimely death of her mother
is left to the care and guidance of a
highly educated but drunken father,
who by the force of circumstances
has drifted out on the tide of destiny
into the mining regions of the far
west. This young girl possesses one
great distinguishing virtue filial love
and she bends all the energies of
her nature to the reclamation of her
father from his besetting vice, and
incidentally prospecting for gold to
retrieve the shattered fortunes of the
familyT It seems that her father, who
is a practicing physician, has by some
means becime possessed of a mining
claim which was generally supposed
to be worthless but which in reality
was very valuable. This fact becomes
known to the villain of the play, who
takes advantage of the doctor's drunk
enness to purchase his claim for a
mere trifle. Just as this transaction
s completed the heroine, who has
been prospecting on the claim, dis
covers a vein of gold-bearing quartz,
a specimen of which she takes to an
assayer, a young man with a collegi
ate education, who has become des
perately enamored of her. He sub
jects it to a chemical test and dis
covers that it is unusually ncn, as
saying $400 to the ton. From the
foregoing facts a number of compli
cations arise, but in the denoument
everything ends happily. The sale
of the claim1 to the villain is proved
to be a fraudulent one, and the prop
erty ,s restored to the rightful owner
the doctor is reclaimed, "The Lit
tle Prospector" marries the young as
sayer, and all goes "merry as a mar-
raige bell." " It is a very original and
kins). The play is both humorous and
pathetic, combining many mirth-provoking
and irresistibly funny situa
tions with scenes and climaxes of the
most intense dranitic interest. Four
teen clcwrly drawn characters of var
ious types arc required to give the
piescn'ition. Pervading the entire
production is the air of naturalness
and sincerity that will almost cause
one to forget that it is a play and
feel that the scenes are a reality. This
play i also rich in dramatic interest
ami abounds in wholesome and sal- i
utary influences, and serves to point I
a moral as well as adorn a tale," It !
teaches a great life lesson and also !
serves to accentuate the great and
glorious fact that retributive justice J
will fulfill its destiny in spite of man
and that though wrong and falsehood
may flourish for a time they must in
evitably be crushed beneath the iron
heel of right and truth.

and between the ages of 14 and 16
they must attend unless it be shown
