"Unman Hearts.
The story of" Human Hearts', that
beautiful poetical play of Ihs simple Ufa
of the homely folk of rural Arkansas,
deals with the happenings to honeet,Toni
Logan, the village blacksmith. Tom
dwells with his parents In a picturesque
spot of the Arkansas Hills. There ha
has been pursuing his vocation, living a
plain simple life: the mainstay of his
aged parents; beloved by all who know
him, and respected above his fellow.
On a certain unlucky day, there cam to
the village a beautiful woman, a temp
tress, unprincipled and black at heart,
but with a fascination that proved to be
the undoing of poor Ton Logan. Ha
Immediately proceeded to fall la love
with her, asked her to marry him and
she became his wife. Happy ta his fan
cied security, Tom lavished all the
affection on the woman that was possi
ble to an honest heart like his, but It
was not returner'.
One day, Were appears on the scene a
villain, the former lover of the woman.
The I wtt0 commits a cowardly murder and
with the sssittance of the woman
fsstens the crime on Tom, who Is tried
and convicted for the crime of another-
Tom Is sentenced to Stste Prison for Ufa,
and tbe villainous pair congratulate them
selves that they have not only gotten
rid of him, but have secured Immunity
from the law for themselves. But Prov
idence has been watching over the black
smith, and unseen Influences are at work
to thwart their plans. Humble friends
of Tom Logan do not forget him and
their endeavors to bring the case to the
notice of the Governor of Arkanias are
finally successful. The villains are un
masked and Tom is proven Innocent
The play is a pathetic one with many
thrilling scenes, but there Is a very
strong comedy vein running through It
which gives it the necccssary contrast
