For a long per- iod we bave bad southern plays founded upon one of two subjects. The Civil war or the moonshiners. Lottie Blair Parker, the author of ** Under Southern Skies,” has chosen a differens theme and it was evi. dently a welcome change to the theatregoers for they have patronized the play so liber ally that it is playing its seventh season, and everywhere to crowded houses. Mrs, Parker's theme in ‘Under Sonthern Skies" is a story of love and of suffering. It moves the spectator t0 sympathy and tears. Bat the setting of the story ; the manner in which is is told is what constitutes the de: lightful charm of the play and takes peo- | ple to see it over and over again. ‘‘Under Southern Skies,” notwithstanding the tenseness and pathos of its theme is as fall entertainment and laughter as many plays whose only aim is to amuse. So deftly are the langhs mingled with the tears that an effect of pure nature is produced which is as fascinating as it is unusual io plays. A more than usaally large cast is necessary to portray the characters in ‘‘ Under South. ern Skies" and each of the twenty-three people in the drama is especially adapted to his or her part. One of the most at- tractive features of the production is the Hallowe'en celebration and pompkio dance, woich has never heen seen in any other play. ‘‘Under Southern Skies” will be at Garman’s Friday, March 6th. > D.

Pat has a nice little farm on the Seven mountains where he raises most all kinds of produce as well as poultry, but it is not because of that that he has found favor in the eyes of so many. It is because he is the whole-souled genial fellow he is and that his mountain home is situated near one of the best trout streams in the State, which makes it a much-longed-for haven for trout fisherman with- in a radius of one hundred miles. And they all go there, too, once or twice during the season ; and whether they get many trout or few they al- ways go home satisfied because of the royal good time they are always -ure of having at Pat's home, Nothwithstanding the fact he looks good enongh for any woman Pat is s confirmed bache- lor and has been keeping house himself so long that he has become an expert cook and more then one weary fisherman can testify to the mouth-watering meals he has spread before them at one time or another. Without a doubt Pat has already begun to make his peparations for the entertainment of the horde of hungry fishermen that will swoop down upon him before the expira- tion of two months and they can all rest assured they will be well taken care of. -D.
