AMUSEMENTS By HARRY BOON! “GIRL" ALL RIGHT—BUT TOO MUCH OF THE REST. Ilas the wild west show on the Amer-! iean stage seen its day? Has the era ■ of the man with the gun run its short; lease of life, at least until a new gen-;, ieration of playgoers shall again demand [ it! Judging by the reception given “The Girl ।of the Golden West” last night,) Bare Antonio, at least, has its fill of the western drama. Miss Myrtle Tannehill, 1 who plays the girl, is everything she »ould he—natural and easy in her meth jds. bat strong and convincing when tailed on in the heavier scenes. Her big acene in the second act was handled in v masterful manner, as was every slight) detail of the less important ones. The others in the company, as a rule,' «re in that class commonly referred to by the critics as “adequate”—whatever that is. It is understood that the story of “The Girl of the Golden West” is laid in those early days when men were rough and lived rough lives, took what! they wanted and enforced the common, laws themselves. It seemingly seeks to! prove two things—that into the life of j everyone comes a time when it is neces sary to cheat, and that real love knows | no reckoning of what has gone before, or what is to come after. In the proof of these two theories some strong, gripping scenes are enact ed. But the comedy is so clumsily in troduced and is of such an obvious character as to remind one strongly of musical comedy. And having progressed thus far, the critic affixed the full stop period, feel ing that he hadn't said anything, or proven anything, or expressed a lucid opinion. Slipping gently up to the city editor’s desk he laid the manuscript down at a propitious moment when the <‘. E.’s'baek' was turned and hot-footer it ont of the sanctum. MR.

The production is still owned by Cohan & Harris, which means that it still receives attention from the man who wrote it and first staged it. And this is a big point in its favor. The company this season isn't “direct from Broadway,” but it is competent and the j musical drama, or whatever it may be i called, is put on in an acceptable man- । ner. This season's Mary is Miss Elizabeth Drew. In some ways Miss Drew is a better Mary than Fay Templeton was. Miss Drew is pretty, shapely and has the Cohan idea of her lines down fine. She isu’t much of a singer, but manages to get through her songs fairly well. What she lacks in voice, however, she makes up in her portrayal of the sini- I pie-hearted servant girl Another thing ,—Miss Drew isn’t too fat. Kid Burns this season is impersonated | by a young man who bears the name of ! |ust plain Charley Brown. He gives a I creditable performance of the role—jnst as. creditable ns though his name were ! Reginald Archibald Devere. or Victor Moore. Brown d.oesn’t overdo the part, I and it could be so easily overdone. He ! becomes popular with the audience the minute he appears on the stage and his > popularity grows. • Two big houses greeted “Forty-Five f Minutes From Broadway” at the Ta ll bor yesterday and everybody seemed fl pleased with it. The “Mary” songs tj arc just as pretty as ever and the scon e cry is still attractive. —Denver Post. 1 “Forty-Five Minutes From Broad way” opens a two-days’ engagement “5-DROPS” CURED ME OF RHEUMATISM Writes WASHIBGTOR HESTKR, Cox, Okie.

Nature's Gift from the Sunny South \ The source of lard is against it. Lard-cooked food may not cause indigestion and throw your stomach out of kilter, but it will be only a matter of luck if it doesn t. The source of Cottolene is pleasing—the product is healthful. The oil is extracted from the cotton seed grown in the fields of the Sunny South. It is then refined ana rendered odorless and neutral in taste. From Cottonfield to Kitchen-human handi never touch the oil from which Cottolene is made. Cottolene is an absolutely pure product-of pure origin and ancestry, and will make palatable, digestible, healthful, wholesome food. It is the best frying and shortening medium made to-day. If the best is none too good for you, ask your grocer for Cottolene, and do not let any prejudice stand in the way. The only way to know Cottolene is to test it yourself.
