K. OF P. BANQUET. The Knights Will Entertain Their Friends on Evening of 15th. The committee in charge of the K. i of P. banquet, which will be given Friday evening, April 15th. has about perfected all arrangements. Gov. D. C. Heyward, Hon. M. L. Smith and Hon. Jas. A.

The purpose of the committee is to have a public meeting in the opera house, beginning at 8:30 o’clock, where speeches will be made by the Governor and others.

The committee also desires that all members who have not yet made arrangements for tickets to the ban quet will do so at once, so that it can he definitely ascertained how many plates to provide. A large number have already responded—sufficient to assure the success of the banquet, but th»re is still room a^d an effort is being made to make this the most successful event of its kind in the history of the lodge.

It Goes Contains a Story that Straight to the Heart. There will he somewhat of a nov elty at the Star Theatre on nevt Mon day night when for the first time in this city will be produced M. W. Tay lor’s big scenic production of Will C. Murphey’s stirring and sensational society melodrama, “Why Women Sin.” a play that has been heralded by the press and public as a marvel of up-to-date stage realism. The drama is in four acts and seven scenes, all laid in New York City, and the author has drawn an inter esting picture of the follies and foi bles of the New York society, and of the intrigues and temptations of the smart set. A capable company inter prets the various characters, seven teen in all, and they range from a little blue-eyed, golden-haired child of six years, to a dashing French ad venturess with a mania for falling in love with the wrong man. The men and women of “Why Women Sin” are polished people of the world, and the sensational situations and thrill ing climaxes are done in a polished manner that elicits round after round of applause. No drama of modern times shows half the heart aches that come from wrong doing, as does “Why Women Sin,” but it must be understood that while it is a sensa tional production its merit lies in the fact that there is not a suggestive line in the entire story and a fine moral adorns it all. The following is from the Manches ter Union, February 24th. 1903: “There has been some curiosity about the play called ‘Why Women Sin.’ The title is somewhat mislead ing and then is some question as to the idea of putting a suggestive title over a play. But they do it with books in order to sell them, and it is supposed playwrights have the same prerogative. ‘Why Women Sin’ op ened yesterday afternoon to a packed house. The play has no suggestive lines in it. though you can think what you like. But one cannot help liking the way Mr. Taylor’s company pre- sents the play. The company is a corking good one—fine of the best. The play borders on the melodra matic. the action being very well done, however. The piece is beautifully staged, the story well told and the costuming is first-class. The ladles’ gowns being ‘creations,’ the audi- ence of the evening was also of the crush sort.” CYRUS BROWNLEE NEWTON. CUMS WHERE ALL ELSE FAILS. | Best (>mgn Bfrup. Tanti-n ce**!. Use In time.
