Great Divide." which Now York critic,
hail as the Isng awaited great Ameri

Grand on Tuesday. November 3.
Thl. truly great drama comes to
town nfter a two aea.on. run In New
until that past msstor of sta-s

TW story of the play Is l ‘ nus . n( !
interest, because of Its ? n ,J
force. Tho scene ofthe first act is
laid at the ranch of Philip Jordan, in
the desert of the glia In Art*°nj.
Philip’s wife Is about to start for
San- Francisco, and he ^
ranch to take her to the train. Dr.
Newbury, a young physician from
Massachusetts, la caUed out to aUend
a man with a broken leg, and WJ»

out from MassRchusettii.^to help her
brother. Is left alone In the house.
The ranch Is* attacked bjT
Ghent. Dutch and Pedro. th r ee de#p«ra

about to throw dice for ber, when she
appeals to Ghent to savo her. offering
to become hls wife. He accepts her
offer, buys off the Mexican with a
necklace of gold nuggeta and wound*
the other In a duel. When ho returns
to tho house to claim Ruth he secs tnc
horror which she has for him ami pur
posely lets her gain possession of hi*
cent. Meanwhile she repulses efforts
at /reconciliation with Ill-concealed
scorn and aversion, while lie endures
aU with'rough but Wistful stoicism.
Finally! her brother and other old

cheerful countenance, vehemently de

revolver. She starts to kill harself,
but her nerve falls hbr. Ghent finally
cowes her and she goos with to
tho nearest Justice of tho peace to be
married, leaving a noto to tell her
brother that sho has eloped.
In the second act the obligation has
been kept and tho strangely wedded
pair are living In a cabin In the Cata

man, has seen a great light. The spec

“THE TRAITOR. 1
The costuming of any play requires
much care and thought and In some
cases, when the scenes are laid In tho
distant past, weeks of research aro nec
essary before, absolute accuracy Is at
tained In design, cloths and colorlnga.
The theater-goer who luts not modo a

they aro held In detestation by •v'try-
ono and naturally It Is cx;remely difficult
to find one of tho red robes that they
wore to aerve as n pattern. It waa only
through the wide acquaintance that Mr.
Dixon has throughout the south that this
