The story of Main Street concerns a young doctor located in Gopher Pra'rie, a thriving but squalid ami little town, who brings his new bride from Minneapolis lo make their home. Carol, the bride, tries sincerely to adjust herself to her new surroundings and friendly enemies who secretly envy and malign her. A lover of beauty and ideals, she attempts to lift the grubby populace of Gopher Prairie to something finer than their existing life. Her only assistant and real friend Is Erik Val borg, a fanners son with dreams ideals and ambitions too big for the l'ttle town. Entangling complications arise when Carol leaves her husband because of Erik, and the unbearable attitude of the townspeople who refuse to be made over by her. The solving of the problem makes an absorbing story. Anne Berryman takes the part of Carol Kennicott. The greatest burden of the play rests upon her slim shoulders, but shb is equal to the occasion, and is especially appealing when she self-satisfi- ed is denounced by Eriks father as a wicked city woman. Cloninger, as the father of Carol, performs w'th east and grace that holds the audience throughout. Harry Jordan takes the part of Erik Valborg with E. Forest Taylor as h.s father. Fannie Stanley Burgess as Bea, the Swedish maid of the Kennicotts, proves a genuine comedian. George Cleveland is the druggist of the Main street; Norma Deane, who married Dave Dyer for spite, was really in love with Dr. Kennicott, and there were Jean Rae, Ray Brandon and Irma Smoot.

He looked it over and po'nted to the exit sign. Nothing to it. The play was hawked along Broadway and then Go han and Harris thought it might go ever. It was put on. It was a fair comedy, but after a few performances out among the tall grass, they salted it and put it on ice.-- .
