Said the New York Tribune of “Seven Days:” “It is screamingly funny, it is all fun. The world loves laughter. At ‘Seven Days’ it can laugh till it is weary.” There it is — that’s the reason for the enor mous popularity of this comedy—laugh ter, loud laughter, roars of it, every fraction of a second. And it is laughter of which nobody will be ashamed. “Seven Days” is as clean as it is amus ing. It makes everybody laugh every minute. One proof of its superiority is its power to entertain more thor oughly a second or a third time than the first. It is an endless source of constant laughter. “Seven Days” is an American comedy, by American au thors. Its action takes place In New York and its persons are representa tives of the smart set and that other that lives by smartness, and there are complications innumerable in the week in which all are shut up in the same house by a quarantine. There is fun all the time, in love, divorce, misap prehension, pretense, starvation, vac cination and it goes from drawing room to basement and roof, and it lasts through the funniest seven days imaginable. Keep the night open for “Seven Days” and lay in a stock of laughter that will last many times sev- endays.

Moore died Wednesday at his home in Shiloh township, some miles west of Statesville, death result ing from a stroke of paralysis. Mr. Moore was a highly respected and hon ored citizen and will be much missed in his community. He was 71 years old and is survived by his wife and five children. The funeral service and interment took place yesterday at Loray. Boy’s Leg Amputated. Charles Douglas, about 12 years old, stepson of Mr. Will Morrow, who lives in the Ostwalt community, was brought to Dr. Long’s Sanatorium here Tuesday afternoon and has since undergone an operation in which his right leg was amputated at the hip. The boy had been suffering with tu berculosis of the bone for six months. Tuesday as he was getting out of bed the decayed bone of his leg was crush ed under his weight and he had to be brought here for the operation. Crippled Baby’s Hand. The 18-months-old baby boy of Mr. and Mrs. W. H. Clark will have a crippled hand through life as the re sult of an accident at the home of its parents at Eufola, seven miles from Statesville.

P Nash, Jr.) Qraustark'’—Twice Yesterday. “Oranstark” at the Academy yes terday afternoon and night, improTed jte.adily from a poor beginning, and taking the performance as a whole the audiences were apparently pleas ed. Some of the approval undoubted ly, must be credited to a predisposi tion in favor of the play. “Qraustark” is probably the most popular and widely read novel in the last decade, and comparatively few play-goers have missed reading this fascinating story of a love behind a throne. Had "Oranstark” lived up to all its advance notices it would have be«n one of the biggest successes of the peason. Unfortunately there were some harsh incongruities in the cast. Miss Janet Waldorg, who had the leading role as Yetive, Princess of 'Traustark, thougfh an actress of un- tisual ability, was palpably cast out of her part. Yetive, as we rememiwr :ne story, was a slim, young, Idwiy eautlful girl, and In some of toeee lualities Miss Waldorf was lacM^. loreover, although she caught the plrit of her lines in good fashion ohe was at times too strenuous and iramatic. _ ... Frankly, Henry King, as QrenfoU Lorry, the hero of the story, is not an "ideal American,” though he was considerably better after the first act, in which he was far too loud. Loud ness was the filling all the way through, also, of Lorry’s American friend. Harry Anguish, a part taken by Van Sheldon. He consistently over did his act. In fuct» U there was a fault characteristlo of the entire per formance, it was Just that, lack of restraint and repression; too much dramatic eftoit. Strangely enough two of the most pleasing characters in the cast were minor. Louise Huff, as Countess YsabeU ftnd AUe&e Durano, as Count ess Dagmor, were as thoroughly feminine and delightful as McCutch- eon’s conception. The much advertised scenic effects were much the worse for wear, and could nei«r bare been record-break ing in thetr palmiest days. On the other hand, the numerous costumes were striking handsome. 'Excuse Me"—Next Tuesday. The Academy of Utisio announces as its attraction for next Tuesday night an up-to-dftt« farce by Rupert Hughes, entitled "Bxcuie Me/' the first of the season’s offerings by that prolific pro ducer of sucoessesf Henry W. Savage, xhe piece 1* described as a Pullman car carnival, which sub-title is suggest- ed by the fftot that the action of the three scenes occur on board an over land limited OTXpre** train between Chicago and Sai^ Francisco.

The piece was staged by George Ma rion, which means that every last de tail of technique has been observed. Mr. Savage has given it a production o^ scenic splendor, and assembled one oi the most notable ever gathered in one organization. “Excuse Me” ran all last season at the Gaiety theatre. New York city. The seat sale opened this morning at Hawley’s, and there was quite a de- mwd for tickets. This being the first Henry W. Savage, attraction of the present season a crowded house will in all probability see “Excuse Me'* at tne local playhouse Tuesday night. "The White Sister." In order that Viola Allen’s deserved- ly sucessful production of F. Marion Crawford’s “The White Sister” should receive the fullest benefit so far as concerns the acting force, Messrs. Morrison & Warde, who will present this truly wonderful play, In which love and religion are so wonderfully entwined, have gathered together a company of unusual reliability. To Lillian Rhodes, an actr^s of splendid distinction, whose career up on the stage has been fraught with im- presslyenesB, has been allotted the role of Sister Oloranna, a character said to be particulsu'ly well suited to her emo* tional talents. Amorg the 6ther play- aril of note engaged in the prodootlon are Adolo Leonard, Bffle LaCrolx, W. W. Bhuttleworth, Philip Lord, Grace Voung, Howard Sydney, Victor Bletoli. er, Morris F.

The accident hap pened on the Parson Green farm, and Parrot Sparks, stepfather of Clama- tory, and Mrs. Deans, his sister, eaw the stump crush him to the ground. After placing the charge of dynamite Clamatory stood at what he thought was a safe distance from the stamp. The report was deafening and large pieces of wood went flying into the air As Clamatory turned to run the largest piece struck him on the h^d, fractur ing his ekuU.
