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. No lady
can have too many hats and this one
will be a pleasant memory of Miss
Tucker's e'forU to give us good
entertainment.
Remember this beautiful hat will
be given away before the last act of
the play Saturday night.
