He is a crip pie yet but is getting along nicely The Chase-Lister Co. began j week's engagement at the open house Monday night. The piaj "At Risk of His Life" was play ed the first night and the fears o of Some that the company had noi kept up their Slandarb of t'ormei popularity were soon banished anc everyone felt the assurance of v. geeb enterteinment throughout the week. The unusually large house Monday night was increased Tues day night at the play of "Tne Saint and the Sinner. " Last night the house was crowded like the earlier days when everybody went to shows. There was barely standing room in the back part < > t the house and many crowded along the aisles , many being com pelled to stand throughout the performance. The play was an axcellent production , illustrating the thoughts that take possession of us , and were represented by Clint Robbins , impersonating the Devil. Some of our people who looked upon the "Diivil" as a per sonal character in the play perhaps - haps did not fully understand. The artist had met the Devil be fore at Monte Carlo and realized ; hat he was about to commit a jreat sin. The artist had lost his ; ortune at Monte Carlo and was ibout to turn a\\ay when he , per- laps , forged check and won back. Thus he hypotheticalp ! met the Devil and recalled that fact as ntroduced on the stage. He was iboxt to commit another sin. The Devil appeared. Madame was ibout to commit a sin. The Devil ippeared unto her. She frowned it him at first. Thus we first ibhor , then endure and the ; , ein- ) race. The Devil -ightencd the nnoceut "model" and was defied it fir t by Bessie Robbins who jommanded him and forcc-d him o sit down but her mind w.-akon- : d later and she w.is conquerel by icr thoughts and she sat down to _ Iwell upon the pleasant thought if defiance. Finally , dictating a etter from Madame to Herr , the rtist. he follows her to the studio nd sees her fall a victirr. and nth the closing expression , 'There you are , " pcrh.p < : - ying counquered at U-t.
