“The Eleventh Hour” which comes
to the Newport Opera House Tuesday
March 3, is without doubt Lincoln J.
Carter’s best play. It is a melodrama
of the most pronounced type, but
without any of the usual attendant un
pleasant explosions and “gun” plays.
In fact there is only one life lost in
the play, though the audience contin
ually hopes that fate will overtake
several of the paiticipants, but the
villains are kindly spared until the
,r"t act, when the “Law of the Arm”
gets them in the most satisfactory
manner. This is the third season of
the production and it is still meeting
with the same great success. dtd.

charge, breaking the child’s neck.
The state it seems, has no evidence
