Miss Julie .Herne the littie mountain girl is seen at her best. In the first act she discovered a little barefoot girl, with frayed cloth- ing and beautiful golden tr 3. In the last act she has donned the even- ing dress of milady at the ball hut she still retains the ear-marks of her father domain,—his rubber hoots. This indeed is a strange contrast, a beautiful silken ball-room gown over rubber boots. Perhaps the most st ing scene in old- the self- the against is s the entire play is the famous little church in the mountains where the young minister holds services. It is worth going many miles to see Alfred Cross "ascend the pulpit and conduct services, with the congregation join- ing in the hymn and the organist pumping away with all the vigor ol a musician entering into rhapsody. There are great chances for scenic effect in this play that depicts life on the .shores of Lake Cayuga, New York, where the squatters hold forth, and Kendal Weston and his able scenic artist, Maurice Tuttle, have lost none of the opportunities, The first act, a scene in early Summer beautiful in the extreme. With the leaves from the trees artistically scattered around and the lake in the background it has the power to carry the spectator to the land of dreams.
