ST LRUILX A NS 8.060. THIS EVENING 8.00 “BESSIE BARRISCAI.E” in ‘“ATRICK OF FATE”. “BESSIE BARRISCALE” as MARY LEE. “ANNAGERARD”, WELL, WHO IS SHE? CAN YOU FIND THAT OUT? _ The Story: Mary Lee, the daughter of a Southern gentleman of disabled fortune, is cruelly hurt when her father dies and is called a ‘‘crook’” by a local bankerto whom he owed $5,000. Mary assumes the debt, goes to New York to build ur her fortunes sufficiently to pay it off. while her lover, Richard Crane, ieaves for South America on an engineer- ing project. Anna Gerard, the dancer, who startles the habitues of the Black Rat Case, with her startling costumes and mannerisms, i. the exact double of Mary Lee. Struck by the dancer’s possibilities, Raoul Gerson, an American theatrical manager, brings her to New York, where as ““Zura’’she gains reputation overnight. In a fit of temperament she declines to appear one night, and her frantic manager discovering Mary Lee, her double, on the street decides to palm her off as Zura, Mary accepts the offer on condition that Gerson pay her $5,000, the amount of her father’s debt. Com- plications arise when the original Zura is murdered by an old flame, Pierre La Rouge, unknown to any one but Gerson. A body dressed in Mary Lee’s clothes is found in the park and the police decide it is Mary t.ee. Gerson installs the real Mary Lee in the dancer’s apartments, exacting a promise that she will not disclose her identity. She is compelled to face unusual situations when John Wentworth, ‘whom Zura was about to marry, and Crane, her lover, return. Wentworth, suspecting that Mary is not Zura, gets the police busy, and she is about to be arrested when Crane makes a false confes- sion, taking the guilt upon himself. Che truth is brought out at the finish. ADMISSION: ; Badiivid Bane . ke e e T D, Gene al Kintrance . ;... ... ..

S. mail via P. R. arrived here ultimately at noon yesterday byway of Frederiksted. There was not much of it. The “reole which was due here from St. Thomas yesterday morning has not | yet made port, and it is imagi. ed that the extreme calm of Tuesday night and the southerly winds of yesterday are the | occasion of her delay. | The Native Brass Band entertained a large crowd on the wharf grounds 1 last night with a popular concert which ’ was much appreciated by everybody. | The lively airs put the younger folk in E motion and and there was a merry tramp ! around while familiar rags were rendei- | ed, as well as at. the conclusion of the | concert when the band played up the | street on the way home. Patrons of the movies are directed to | gote the exceptionally attractive pro- | gramme advertised for this evening at | tha theatre.
