STORY OF MTHK CLANSMAN'." !
Plot of Famous Play Well Known!
To All Theatre (ioers.
i
The story of Thomas Dixon's cele- |
hrated drama, "The Clansman,"
which will appear in this city on
Wednesday, October 11, at the
School Auditorium, is well known to
alj theatregoers. However, in view ; \
of the pppiing engagement of the j ]
play, it may be welj tp mention it. '
% "The Clansirtan" |s briefly the j
story of how the descendants of the ] (
Scottish eland, living In tfte South! t
Oarolina hill country, rose up in 11
the year J867 and threw off thejt
carpetbagger yoke. Their agency ^ j
in effecting this result was the. t
was the celebrated Ku Klux Klan. . f
The hero of the play, Ben Camer-! j
on, is a leader of the Klan. His'-]
aweetheart, Elsie Stoneman, is the}f

ganizer of the hated Union League. [|
Here is the interplay of love and,'
hate, of passion and circumstance, | 1
in which the dramatist delights. 1
Elsie's father huts forth evWry ef- 1
Xort to enforce negro dominhtit>ht | *
and Ben as stoutly resists. The,*
latter is arrested and clapped in ; a
jail by the scalawag white Governor >

the mullatto Lieutenant Governor, j 1
.Silas Lynch. A Federal Court c
XBartial sentences Ben to death. <
Elsie begs the Lieutenant Governor 1
to saye him. The latter says
will if Elsie will marry him "{the ?

^ghocking proposal. Stofreman en- j
tens and is maddened on learning 1
jwhat his trusted protege,Lynch,has
done. He has encouraged Lynch |1
about social equality and Indeed has t
told him to go ahead and marry a |1
white voman; but when he learns 1
Lynch wants his own daughter, that
is another story and his rage and
disgust are beyond bounds. 1

sees his gigantic mistake in trying 1
to rule the country by carpetbag- \ '
gers and negroes and in instilling ]
false ideas of social and political '1
equality. He announces that he
will make yet another trip to Wash-!'

there to withdraw the Federal ]
tioops and allow the Southern peo-i

portion of the stricken South,!
thanks to the high purpose, stead- ;

Invisible Empire which within a
few months overspread a territory
larger than modern Europe, snatched
power out of defeat and death,'
and tore the fruits of victory from
twenty million conquerors."

ANCIENT THOXIDE BliONDES.
Amusing and lntcmiting FiC't*
AI>out Their Hair Dyeg.
M. Gulmet, a famous authority on
ancient religions, delivered a lecture
in Paris a few weeks ago in which
he told some amusing and interesting
facts about hair dyes among the
ancients, says The New York World.
It appears that the Egyptians had a <
taste w;hich lasted through ages, for
red hair?the red hair of that Ven- <
us of theirs. Hathor, who had a
xiw's head. The Greek ladies pre- 1
'erred the blonde hair, that best accorded
fvith the azure eyes of Ath- 1
ma and top px eyes of Juno. As i

'bryne who owed her name to the 1
oadlike yellow of her skin had hair 1
>' bison black. You can imagine 1
iow ill that peculiar yellow must '
lave gone with blonde or red hair, c
rhe ladies of the Roman oligarchy a
ollowed those of Egypt in using a 1
lye that might have been taken r
rom bdilH sioenna. It was the fash- '
Oliable hue, and l-fcdferved for 1
ician dressing tables. The mtide

vith gold dust. Th?> republic fall- 1

Rome. They had in our time a 1
counterpart in the Lord Raneiagh
who used thirty years ago to frequent
the back parlor of an enchantress
who professed to render
clients young, or beautiful, for,
ever. Commodius had his hair so
burnished with gold dust that his
flatterers declared themselves unable
to gaze on anything so glorious.
While the patriciennes liked
for themselves a mild yellow hue,
the partricians preferred for their
awn use a wash mingled with a gold
tincture that produced flomhoyant
red. Piny speaks of a decoction of
certain plants as doing as well.

phylactic reasons. There is n? J
evidence that the fathers of
Ihe church thought them sinful. (
The antique Roman revival that
Prince Napoleon strove to bring
about as his Pompeian home helped
to make red hair modish in the
fifties. Lord Dufferin once aspured
the writer that the haLr of
Empress Eugenie was red as that
of Cora Pearl, when she used to
walk daily over Clifton Downs
some time before her marriage, but
that Auguste , her hairdiesser,
tamed the too ardent color with a
wash, and then applied gold dust.
Louise Phillippe, an habitue of
the Brighton Pavilion in the time
of the Prince Regent, borrowed of
his royal host the brown wig dressGRAND

No play has ever preserved the (
atmosphere of its locals so perfectly
as "The Clansman" does. The |
author, Thomas Dixon, caught the (
true spirit of the South Carolina
hill country, its people of mixed |
Scotch and Irish lineage, its roman- (
tic associations and its period of
turmoil and stress immediately fol- I
lowing the War. In a wider sense
the play is typical of the whole
South, for the farce of negro domination
and the tragedy of conflict
were similarly enacted in every town
In that unhappy period. Its sincereity
of purpose has been recognized
and it has been received with
equal enthusiasm both in the South
and in the North.
A big revival of "The Clansman"
will be presented in this city on
Wednesday, October 11, at the
School Auditorium.
