drives ths villain into a corner,- erowa

to sn officer, and then walks to th
center of th stag, gives -a gasp and
clasps his loved ons in his arms while
th audience howls In approval and ths
kallery whistles approbation and ths
crowd rushes from ths theatre to catch
a car. Such Is "Ths Man From th
Golden West" as playsd by the -Baker-ttes
yesterday 'matinee and evening. -'
Babme Is ths Lochlvsr. and w ar
right her to stats that hs plsys It
hstter-than anything -slss-so- far- tMs
season. There Is really nothing to ths
play It la ons of those wholeeome
melodramatic comedies written on th
ususl lines, but it has an abundance of
heart interest and Is worth seeing...

son. delivers his share of tha groceries
without th ggs broken or th sugsr
bag burst . Harry-Byers ss ths mil
lionaire does good work. Billy Dills has
a part that lis loves, that of ths Meth
odist deacon fallen from grace to th
stent of horse racing, and it Is. worth
while to see him bet his wlfs en "that
horse Whiskers." . Mrs. Byers Is tb
wife, also a victim of th betting fever
and always cheering for ,"thm Giants."
Burt King is a hsrolo youngstsr In th
tolls of ths villain, who, of course, is
our desrly beloved BaJnpoll. who wss
roundly hissed by yesterday's audienoes
because he was such a naughty, naughty
man. Jewel Power plays opposite Rus

Is shaking a warning finger.
Of th east,, than, ther Is left Miss

cannot say that Mlsa Lawrence does not
know how to maks lovs. In ths girlish
character shs portrays lovs shlnea In
her eyes and bubbles out of her mouth
and tingles In her finger tips. Shs Is
enough to make a man down a villain
and savs a shipwrecked millionaire and
