"Jim, the Wrst-ehsr" In the wave of melodrama which struck this town last nilit there wa- no more pro nounced success than thepi.iy of "Jim, the Westerner," produced at Manager Hol mes handsome Star Theatre aud before a large, pleased and enthusiastic audience. The story is about a tall, jerky bluff and honest young man who after ten years or more in tho West takes on all the characteristics of the breezy men of that section of the country, and when he re turns East to visit old friends he is the typical fellow who bruises society hands in hearty shakes, and is ever ready to bear djwo on villainy for the sake of defending virtue.

Subsequently the aged good father at the instigation of the bad man, fires the noble son from the parental roof for a put-up forgery job, and Jim the Westerner, has a chance, like Mark Tapley, to come out strong. He does so for three acts, and he rights wrongs, downs thevillian and wins the love of a pretty girl Joseph S.
