"The Girl of the Golden West"
Next Wednesday evening there will
bo presented at the Keith Belasco's
"Girl of the Golden West," a story
which reeks with the atmosphere that
Bert Harte first mode familiar, a story
that was written for Blanche Bates.
The play was presented at the Tabor
in Denver last Sunday and the Times
devoted a quarter of a page to a favor
able write-up. Tho Times says: As
given at the Taber yesterday before
the usual Sunday crowd it proved to be
one of the most satisfying plays we
have had this season, and held the close
attention of the mixed assemblage from
the first scene until the final curtain.
It was also beautifully plnyed by a
company of even and conspicuous
merit, and although it was done once
before in Denver it was then by no
means so well done.
Tho characters aro all possible types
of tho exciting California days of sixty
years ago and to combat the idea that
the lawless and reckless throng are un
real, to the present generation.
The story it tells is that of a strong
who keeps the Polkn saloon in a min
ing camp in the Sierras, who lives alone,
who is beloved by the miners who pro
tect her and whose savings she holds.
Into this saloon enters a stranger,
one thn girl has once met in Sacramen
to. He is looked upon with suspicion
uy tne miners, but the "gin" is direct
ly enamored of him. He says he is "Mr.
Johnson," but he is really the highway
man the men are looking for. He is
left alono with tho girl and she tells
mm in tne little Keg there she nas near
ly $20,000 of gold dust belonging to tho
boys."
He tells her he wouldn't court danger
by trying to protect It, when "the girl,"
with one foot on tho precious keg, says:
"Oh, yea, you would yes, you would
if you seen how hard they got it.
When I think of it I nearly cry. You
know they'a something awful pretty
in tho way tho boys holdou t before they
strike it awful pretty, in the face of
rocks on clay an' alkali. Oh, Lord, God!
what a life ft is, anyway 1 Why they eat
dirt an' they sleep dirt, an thoy
breathe dirt till their backs are bent,
their hands twisted, their soula warped
they're all wind-swept and blear-eyed
ana oome of them jest lie down In
there sweat besido the sluices an they
don't never riso up again. I've seen
'em thero.
The romatic road agent visits tho
girl nt her lonely cabin at midnight, by
her invitation, but sho warns him she
is "decent" and intends to remain so.
A sudden blizzard compels him to re
main all night. Ho is tracked by the
taoA ttf At 1 1. .. .1..
sheriff, and this violent, interesting and
rather overwhelming act ends with a
lker game between the maid and the
ofllelal fiir thb life of thb MchWuVmun.
The girl wins, the curtain falls, and
then the play moves on to a rather con
ventional ending.
Tho company plays it finely. The
wise hand of Mr. Belasco is seen in its
fitting makeup.
The Presbyterian Aid society will
hold their annual meeting at tho church
Thursday afternoon, March 17th. Ladies
holding dime banks or equivalents
there of will please hand to the
Secretary before Thursday.
