that could be spared. and unless his
plans as arranged were executed the
whole campaign would fail. Not only
that. but his little army would In all
probability be cut off from the main
body and wiped out of existence.
1t was a critical moment. The Cap

"Think. man. think OF the glory that
you will win If you do this thing" he
urged

Stuart Robson's engagement at the
Hyperion, which is announced for the
evening of Friday, January 10, Is
particularly interesting announcement,
nasmuch as this we'll beloved actor will,
upon the occasion of his forthcoming
visit, present his, new comedy success
from the pen Of Augustus Thomas, en-
titled THE Meddler." Added interest
attaches to this announcement, other
than the great personal esteem in
which this eminent comedian is held; it
is found in the names of his supporting
company, which includes more players
prominent in the theatrical armament
than are usually called upon to assist
star in the exploitation of play. This
assertion is borne out by the names
submitted where we find such splendid
players as Frank c. Bangs, Theodore
Babcock Harold Russell, George
Pauncefort. Mrs. Stuart Robson, Maude
Granger, Gertrude Perry and Marie
Burroughs. Mr.. Robson's success in
1.-THE Meddler' during the present sea-

the best he has experienced since his
cessation from the firm of Robson &

ago. Sale of seats now open. Prices,
