Alston's excellent company of players. It Is extremely doubtful if any other portion of our own country lends Itself more readily to the pur pußeo nf the dramatist than the roman tic South. The story that it reveals is highly dramatic: the situations and climaxes thrilling In the extreme; but the whole is so happily blended with unctuous comedy scenes and incidents that it charms all. The play gives a splendid opportunity for elaborate toilette display by the feminine portion of the company, which is taken the best advantage of.—Advertisement.

ROOSEVELT GUEST AT SECRET FEAST I Ex-Judge Gary Is Host; Hint of Political Signifi cance Special to The Telegraph New York, Dec. 20. Despite at tempts to keep the knowledge secret, iit was learned that Colonel Theo j dore Roosevelt was chief guest at a I donner last week at the home of ex ! Judge Elbert H. Gary, head of the ' Steel Trust, at his home, 856 Fifth ! avenue. Many persons high up in ! financial affairs were present. Al | though the majority present were Re | publicans, several were prominent j Democrats, and there were a few ! progressives. When the news of the dinner leaked out those who attended were reticent about it. There was a rumor that the dinner was held for purely polti cal purposes, and that the possibility of Colonel Roosevelt becoming the candidate of the Republican party for the presidential nomination next year was discussed. When Colonel Roosevelt was reached through his secretary, John McGrath, all he would say was htat he was at the dinner, but did not cure to discuss what had taken place. Among those present at the dinner besides Mr. Gary and Mr. Roosevelt, were August Belmont, Jacob H. Schiff, George F. Baker, R, Livingston Beeckman, Republican Governor of Rhode Island; Medill McCormick, of Chicago, former Bull Moose leader of Illinois, who has gone over to the Republican party; George W. Per kins, chairman of the Executive Com mittee of the National Progressive party; A. Barton Hepburn, Frank A. Vanderlip, Cornelius Vanderbilt, Frederick W. Whiteridge. Frank T. Kellogg, of St. Paul; Daniel Guggen heim, C. A. Coffin, Henry Walter, Richard V. Lindabury, E. C. Con verse, Clarence Mackay and George B. Cortelyou. When Mr. Gary was asked if he cared to say anything about the din ner he replied; "I don't care to say anything about it. It was purely a private affair." It was learned that Governor Beeckman, of Rhode Island, had a conference with Colonel Roosevelt recently. It was said the Governor told the Colonel that he favored his nomination by the Republican party. It is also known that Medill McCor mick and Theodore Douglas Robin son, the Colonel's nephew, who has also returned to the Republican fold, had a conference with the Colonel at his office at the Metropolitan Maga zine.
