Tho play was rirst produced by Henry Mlllor with Charlotte Walker and Vincent Serrano as his principal supports, and croatod a profound sensation which will no doubt he duplicated at the Utah next week. It has to do with tho adventures or Con- H stanco Plnckney, a true daughter or the H Confederacy, who for some time before H the opening or the charming story has H boon carrying dispatches through the H rodoral lines. H Major Dalo or the Sixth U S. cavalry, H has boon detailed to capture her If possl- H ble.

Finding that a H woman or the household Is away at tho time, Constance disguises horsoir m u homespun dress and Miuoeds in deceiving tho orricers or tho Union Torccs, who aro at a loss to account ror tho munnor or hor escape The second act Is a scone in tho home or Constance where Major Dalo and his dl fleers have taken tesldoncc. Dale and Constance, with equal loo and loyalty in their hearts Tor their respective causes, r.ill in love with each other but not before be-fore Constance has managed to Impart the Information to General Leo that Dalo and his troopers aro In the house and can bo captured.

Dale Is captured but only artcr his command has been cut to pieces. The story ends at the time or the surrender or Leo and or course Major Dale and Constance rind the happiness they so long hoped Tor.
