N Tales of Alaska have been written by many authors but none have no univer sally reached the hearts of the people as Rex Beach's latest and best effort, "Tho Barrier." It is said that every writer some day reaches the summit of his life's work and gives tho world his best, his mightiest effort. So it was with Rex Beach.. All admired even his earlier works, and when he gave us tho "Spoilers" with a bound he leaped into tho foremost ranks of present day writers; but with tho appearance of "Tho Barrier" he at once outdistanced his competitors nnd took the placoas tho premier fiction writer of the day. Every character in this great work is so finely drawn and so cloarin its distinctiveness that the reader Is tempted to believe that the writer must have lived each life himself. The most startling situa tions are approached with such delicacy nnd handled with such artistic contrast that the play is ono seiies of thrilling surprises.

Monday's Attraction "The Queen of Moulin Rouge," the title of tho musical comedy drama which set Broadway aflame with en thusiasm and stirred the criti:s of the city, is rather a misnomer. So much has been written about it that further words ure almost useless. However, a few sentences to rnrrc(- n nnnnlop tho misapprehension, doubtless caused ty suggestive title, will be worth while. 'in at it is chic, bizarre and Insnirimr is frankly admitted. That it has dash harmles transiency, effervescence, is cordially granted. That is is not risque, low in moral tone or offensive to the modest eyes and ears, is vouchsafed by Samuel ir. .Kork, under whose direction It appears at tho Keith next Monday evening. Tho mdst defensive thing about "The Queen of Moulin Rouge" Is tho abundance of song hits and its protty and vivacious dancing stunts. Parisan costumes, always a delight, aro a notable feature. The production is elaborate and tho presenting com pany is UBnually large.requirlng a spec ial train of fivo cars for transportation. Kills County Option.
