Mr. DAILY viii bling his company direct

next week for an engagement in 'The
Magistrate and Number Nine: or The

a masterpiece in recent English comedy
writing and the plot is developed in the
clever way that has established Pine

wright OF the present time. The dia-
logue sDarkIes with wit and delightful
humor. Miss Catherine Lewis plays the
part of Agatha Posket the widow who.

Aeneas Posket, q London police court
magistrate, and has gotten herself into

London, April Con the highest authority,
the Associated Press announces that the Brit
