The Sins of the Father,
The subject of "The Sins of the
Father" ia so big and vital —so
imminent and pressing upon the
people of the South—that Thos.
Dixon did not wait to putjt into
a novel, but attacked it directly
by means of this play. lie had
a message to speak concerning
facial purity, and he has spoken
it without delaying or flinching.
It comes, in Mr. Dixon's own
words, as a clarion 'call to the
South to be true to her best tra
ditions and save American civili-'
zation. A book amuses and in
terests, but a piay drives a mes
sage home with incomparably
greater power. Those who would
witness the thrilling story Mr.
Dixon has put in dramatic guise
and would learn the nature of his
extraoreinary message, will have
their opportunity at the Mont
