Costumes modern. Plays 21/2 hours. It is upon the advice and capital of his friends that Nat Duncan, the young fortune banter, decides lo embark upon a wife-hunting expedition. The schema is to go to a small town and live very quietly for one year. The theory upon which the pursuit Is conducted is that in a small town there is at least one girl who has a fortune. All the young men who are worth while move away to larger cities to make their fortunes, but the poor girls have to remain behind, and those who are really above the average are forced to remain single, because they will not marry the riff-raff which remains, according to the theorists. This leaves Duncan with a clear field in any town which he selects. Duncan's experiences prove the theory. The village bankers daughter really falls in love with him, and in accordance with expectations, it is actually she who proposes before the end of the year. But there is no such sordid end to the tale. It has been a part of the program that Nat should work during his 5 ear of residence in the village. He has found that work is really interesting, and brings its own rewards. He has become a successful business man while endeavoring to win an easy fortune, and at the same time he has found the girl who can make him happy, and its does not happen to be the girl with the fortune. It is a charming, wholesome story, touched with tender humor and filled with Quaint philosophy, with just the sort of love interest that makes one glad to know about, because it is both pure and sincere.

It has been performed over five thousand times and is still in great demand. 'Peaceful Valley" is a sweet idyl of the heart with three charming love stories twined about it, and throbs with humanity, bubbles with fun. and thrills with pathos The "human touches" that round out the history of the brave, awkward, tenderhearted young fellow, who waited on the table of a summer hotel to earn the money to send him through college, his love for his mother, "who has the whole of "Peaceful Valley on her mind," his adoration for the daughter of the New York millionaire, his flashes of awkward wit, his righteous wrath against wrongdoers, all make up a complex and marvelous character. Ten other quaint, hateful or lovable people are in the play; comic, serious, detestable, pitiable, and fine. There are over two hours of intense enjoyment and the play is clean and uplifting. Not a character In it is unworthy of being played, and all the parts are good. In the shadowed stage of to-day Peaceful alley shines out a beacon light! The play particularly appeals to college men and college women. The characters are so simple that they are easily played by amateurs. Price, 50 cents.
