"The Divorce Question" at Par
mele Last NigH Fleased Every
body in Attendance.
Those who failed to attend I lie
performance of "The Divorce
Question" last evening missed
seeing the lies!, dramatic, produc
tion thai, lias been here for a
number of years, and I ho play is
one that leaves a deep impression
upon all witnessing it,
as it is a
brutally, frank and truthful ex
position of the divorce problem,
from I he pulpit, as it brines the
jrrc.nl object lessons iorward in a
manner that, (ouches the hearls
.of all. There were few dry eyes in
llio theater last evening when the
final curiam fell on Ihis Rival
story of four wrecked lives due to
tbo selfishness of I hi! parents,
who sought lo gratify their own
selfish pleasures instead of look
ing out fop tin' welfare of I heir
children.
The. company thai presenled the
drama here was first class in
every respect and I hey Rave u
wonderful portrayal of the slnry
of the play, deoie A. Lemming,
as Kal her .leroine, was an ideal
priest anil possessed a splendid
voice I hat could be heard dis
tinclly all over the I healer, and
he rose to some tine climaxes dur.
ing the progress of Hie play. The
part of (he mother, Mrs. Manners,
was depecled by Miss I torn Hast
ings, and she was without doubt
one of the lluest actresses that
has appeared here, and she was
particularly effective in her act
ing in I he last two act s of the play,
when she begins to realize the
awful position she lias tken and
how I he w eakness of herself and
Tier first husband lias ruined the
lives of I heir I wo children am
kroughl them to shame and death.
The part of the son of the di
vorced couple was taken by Henry
Wyall, as "Dopie Doe," and his
appearance in tins character was
truly a wonderful piece of acting
especially in Ihe last act, whore
his brain, tilled with the done, was
wandering back lo the lime when
lie and his lillle sister were happy
in their home with their parents
before the blight of divorce had
driven their parents apart and
caused them to bo thrown ' out
homeless on the cold world. As
tbo sister, Mamie, Miss Shirley
Moore pave a very pathetic rep
resentation of the unfortunate
child of circumstances thai bad
been forced into the underworld,
and her grief at the failure of her
part-ills, when they discovered her
identity, to give her a home was
truly hoarl rending. The lighter
characters in the play were rep
resenled by Miss Itly Power as
Katherine Spaukling, a winsome
young girl; V. J. McCarthy, as
Patrick Skelly, and Russell Davis,
as the young lover of Katherine,
furnished the light strain of coin-
edv I hat served to somewhat oil'
set. Hie beavv. somber effects of
the drama.
Manager Shlaes is making ar
raiigemenls lo have the company
return on eillier alarm i or i:,
and if he is successful, the show
ought lo receive a packed bouse.
February 2 is the Date, but Hunt

posed, like a bad golfer, to hole

hours of the day. Farmers and
hunters assert that for the past
several days the little fellows have
opened their underground homes
and on sunny days may bo seen
romping about the hills and
knolls.
Hecause of their early appear
ance, l lie question wneiner nis
visit will forecast six weeks of
cold, bard weather or a continu
ance of the "mildest winter in the
memory of the oldest inhabitant"
will be undecided. Hunters and
trappers who are familiar with
the habits of the little fellows
stale that because of their leav
ing their winter homes so early
they are sure that the winter is
practically over and that we will
have but lillle bad weather from
now on and mat, we win nave an
unusually early spring.
