a place on the list of patient men
JttHt a notch higher than .lob.
"Piggy." with Miss Heien Byron In
lite title role. Is Just about the
poorest excuse for a first-class at?
traction ihat has ever played at the
Academy at class pi Ices.
Miss Byron herself slugs ve:y
sweetly, and nets very cleverly. Just
as she did In "Sergeant Kilty." and
with a good company and production
she would pass in li,< hading pnrt.
Bill even things thai are ordinarily
good become tlrcsom.v and Miss By?
ron could not hope lo keep an au?
dience satisfied for two hours ami a
half by doing a few songs an-i dance.-,
at long Intervals, And what ban
pened in these Intervals was awful.
Poor "Peggy." she has been a good
old wagon, but-.
"Peaceful Valley."
One of the most picturesque and In?
teresting of nil the pastoral plays Is
"Peaceful Vnloy," kklwntd Id, Kid
dor's masterpiece, which is being re
vlved this season by k. K. Martin.
This play is the one in which the Into
Sol Smith Russell, one of the most
popular of all American nclors, ach?
ieved his greatest and most deserved
triumph.
"Peaceful Valley" deals with life in
a typical New Fnginml community
where pence and restful chain abide.
The central character, that of Hosen
Howe, a rather gawky country lad
who Is working his way through col
lego and supporting his old mot her,
will be played by Kdwiud Saxon, whose
impersonation of the role has been
favorably commented upon.
Among the members of the support
lug company Is Cnrsou Bradford, a
young actor who Is said to be as clever
as he Is handsome.
"Peaceful Valley will be presented
nl the Acartimy of Music today, mati?
nee and night. The special ladies
ami children's bargain matinee will
start at 3 p. m.
More About "The Thrre of Us."
if hnvlhlng bad has been said about
"The Three of Fs," In which Miss
Carlotta Nlllson aplnuirs at the Aen-I
demy Monday night, the one who snidl
it must fool lonesome. Seveial ? ? ry
complimentary mentions of this at?
traction already have appeared lit
