"GRAUSTARK."
When "Graustark," George Barr
McCutcheon's book play, which has
been dramatized for stage purposes
by Grace Hayward, comes to the Op
era House, Friday evening, January
2nd, the theatregoers of Willmar
will have the opportunity of witness
ing the most talked of and successful
romantic drama before the public in
recent years.
This play has been dramatized with
Mr. McCutcheon's novel as a basis,
and those readers of fiction who have
passed a few hours pleasantly pursu
ing same, will be more than satisfied
with its appearance in play form.
Miss Hayward, who made the dram
atization, has closely followed the
book. From the time of the meeting
of the young couple in Denver, thru
the strenuous and trying ordeals of
court life and intrigues, to the final
culmination of the story, he has been
most faithful in his portrayal.
The play comes to Willmar with the
assurance of all concerned in its pre
sentation, of a most excellent cast of
players, especially fitted for their
parts and a magnificent scenic pro
duction of old world scenes, with cos
tuming to match.
It is seldom a mythical principality
such as Graustark is used as a back
ground for a play, hence the tremen
dous success of this offering. Not
since the "Prisoner of Zenda" was
given for the delectation of theatre
goers, has there been a dramatic
drama, when it is as clean and whole
some as "Graustark."
As a dramatic offering, it should
surely prove the banner attraction of
the year.
This play should not be confused
with "Beverly of Graustark," which
was here last season.—Adv.

The Garden of Allah.
"The Garden of Allah" will be the
attraction at the Auditorium, Minne
apolis week Jan. 5, and Metropolitan,
St. Paul, week Jan. 11, with matinees
on Wednesdays" and Saturdays. The
play, as a drama follows closely the
novel of Robert Hichens and tells the
story of a monk, Boris, who becomes
dissatisfied with life in a monastery,
runs away and finds himself in the
desert, in search of peace and quiet
ude. He meets another restless soul
like himself, a wanderer but a young
woman, Domini Enfilden, with whom
he falls in love and whom he event*
ually marries. The discovery by the
wile that the husband has broken his
vows to the Catholic church and that
there can be no happiness in a union
of this kind, results in a separation
and the return of Boris to the monas
tery. This briefly is the story which
has a striking appeal to the heart.
The four main parts into which the
play form of the romance is divided
are subdivided into ten scenes or set
tings. Two of the most pretentious
and alluring of these scenes are
shown twice in the course of the per
formance—the garden of Count An
teoni, which is displayed throughout
part two, and is shown again In the
epilogue, and a section of the desert
at Mogar, which is shown as part
three, under the varying atmospheric
conditions of evening and dawn. Beau
tiful and varied in their appeal to eye
and ear are these scenes as they are
unfolded in a procession that means
something to the reader of the novel,
and even more perhaps to the mere
playgoer who seeks "The Garden of
Allah" in the theatre without first
having had recourse to the scenery
of Hichens' work. Natives from the
Levant and from North Africa are
employed and vari-semblance in the
crowded scenes, such as that depict
ing the street of Ouled Nails in Beni
Mora and "The Desert" at sunrise,
where not only are the Bedouins em
ployed, but numerous animals also,
including Camels, Horses, 'Asses,
Goats and Doves. In the Company
are Sarah Truax, Lawson Butt, John
Blair, William Jeffrey, Frank King
don, Antonio Salerno, Franklin Hur
leigh and Florence Lester.
Prices range from 50c to $2.00 and
at the Wednesday matinee, 50c to
$1.50. Mail orders when accompanied

THE BOY
S
It Is Not Safe to Ignore
Them
By EDITH TUCKER
In a village in the interior of New
York state in colonial days, when
America was a crude country, with
the crude customs of the mother coun
try, there lived a man named Flsk.
His home was near the schoolhouse,
and since he was always kind and
good uutured with the boys he be
came a favorite with them.
Now, a boy, though .his brain is not
matured, knows a great deal about
certain things upon which men know
nothing. The boy is very observant
within his little field. He can tell you
the exact number of chickens Farmer
Cole has and the number of cows in
Farmer Morgan's pasture. These
schoolboys knew that the horse was a
great favorite with Mr. Fisk. He
was constantly coming home with a
new animal, and the stock on hand
was always disappearing. His ab
sences from home were frequent, but
not long, and on every return he
brought a horse with him. Older'per
sons were more interested in his
means of livelihood. But as to that
matter he was unapproachable and al
together uncommunicative.
One morning there was great ex
citement among the boys. News had
come that a band of horse thieves
which had traveled those parts for
years had been captured and that
their friend Mr. Flsk was leader of
the gang. The mystery of Mr. Fisk
was solved. He had turned out to be
a horse thief.
Every one was interested and excit
ed and absorbed in the denouement
But the boys, since the culprit'had
been their friend, were not quite cer
tain that they were pleased at it
They preferred to' wait to see what
was to be done with him. Some of
them argued that horse stealing was
very sinful and Flsk should be pun
ished. Others contended that hs
should be punished, but they hoped he
would get off. Altogether, there was
no settled opinion about the matter.
There was no jail in the village, and
the thieves were lodged in a room in
the tavern, the doors being locked and
bolted. The same day at noon the court
convened in the parlor of the tavern te
try the offenders. The judge, the law
yers and other officials' assembled, and
the sheriff went for the prisoners, leav
ing the crowd, In which the boys were
conspicuous, to await their coming.
But the sheriff did not-return, and.a
shout arose without' that the prisoners
had escaped.
And why should they not have es
caped? Not through the bolted door.

ing fat the "Golden Rule"* at Minne

There was no necessity for escaping
that way wbeu they bad a better. All
they had to do was to step put of a
window on to the roof of a shed and
thence down to the ground. Having
been in a hurry, they had dropped cer
tain articles, which indicated their
route. They had fled to a wood behind
the tavern and were doubtless now hid
ing there. The wood was oak and
hickory, with an undergrowth in which
the boys had chased squirrels and had
started partridges. Among the crowd
that' went on the hunt for the horse
thieves were no such eager persons as
the boys.- Had they been suffered to
lead there is no doubt that the fugitives
would have soon been captured, but
the sheriff, whose stupidity bad led to
their escape, officious, pompous, appre
ciative of bis authority ordered- the
boys' back while he organized and sent
forth bodies of men.
Boys are especially unsafe creatures
to Ignore. No one likes to be relegated
to the rear when he aspires to go to the
front, and, after, all, boys are but min
iature men. The little fellows got to
gether, and it was at once evident that
the treatment they had received bad
turned their sympathies from pursuers
to pursued. Among them was a young
ster jtall, lithe, with wiry muscles. He
was famous in the school athletics and
was
la
champion runner. He conceived
the idea of hiding in the bush and as
soon, as started up by those beating it
to personate their old friend Fisk and
attempt to outrun those who would
chase him.
Frtfin' the articles dropped some of
the- thieves were known to be half
dressed. So the boy threw off bis coat
and pulled his shirt out over his trous
ers, Then, circling around, he found
a convenient place in which to hide.
Suddenly a shout arose and the chase
commenced.
"There he goes!''
"Stop, thiefJ" ?•'-*.",'
"Go for him!"
"You, there head him off!"
These and a babel, of other words
were shouted while the runner, like a
deer, dodged between trees, darted
around thickets, following a route over
which he had often chased or been
chased by his companions. The white
tail of' his shirt preceded the pursuers
like a guiding white cloud. -Now they
•aw it. Now it was hidden. But they
came no nearer to it The boy led
them Teyond the wood, and there
across an opening, his white shirt was
seen vanishing Into another forest
What mattered it to the young ath
lete that the uext day when his trick
wti discovered he must take a thrash
ing
4-"A
thrashing was nothing com-
pared with the delightful excitement
of that chase, to say nothing of the re
venge for the Insult the pompous sher
iff had Inflicted upon him and his com
pis^ai~\ ,V ,: a-*--: :^v.
But tbe boys' old friend Fisk never
returned to thank tbem for their hav
ing saved him from the punishment *e
deserved.
