First Sensational Play Of the Season "Across the Desert1' Will be Endors ed By All Who See It Souvenir For t-e Ladies. Miss Tucker d ei not believe that lensational plays have any legitimate ,)lace In the drama, nor has she ever allowed hersetf to be associated with 1 play of that daw. But the play, 'Across the Desert ', while decidedly sensational and s artling in all its situations and c'lmaxes Is such a nodel of dramatic construction, the characters are so well drawn, so true to life, the dla'ogue so beiutl .'ully worded that one might call It 1 poem of the great trails that lead across1 desert and mountains. The characters are Madge, a little jearl -of the New York slums; Jim nle Hearne, her sweetheart, a boweiy oy; Wamego( an Indian of the ligher type wh like Strongheart, joes to college and becomes thorough y educated and refined; an old nald with a he rt of gold; George rlampton, a gen'laman vagabond, UssIpateJ and almost degenerate, )ut with a heart and soul responsive .0 brave deeds; Jason Barter, a de .Igbtfully quaint and amusing negro jharacter. Then there la the China nan, Won lina, the sweet sister Constance, and last but not least, the ill-round bad man the Mexican, There i3 not a dull moment in the .May from the ft st act to the fourth. The story absorbs, the situations are ill exciting when not funny. The first funatbnal play of the season wl'l be endorsed by all. Another pleasant feature of Satur lay, September 11 Miss Tucker and the munne;nent have decided ipon a charming souvenir tor the .adles. Now at the opening of the .'all season every lady Is thinking of 'ier new hat, Mrs. Hug's new hats ire In and a pretty one has been fleeted to be given away to the lady iiolding the lucky number.
