John Drew in The Liars.

One OF the most welcome engage
ments Of the theatrical year VIII he
that Of Mr.. John Drew at the ProVl-
dence Opera House tonight. Tuesday
and Wednesday nights and Wednesday
matinee. Mr.. Drew is now in his sew
enth season as "A star under the astute
management of MIR. Charles Frohman,
and they have been seven seasons OF
superlative success. The play he VIII
present here, THE Liars, is consid-
cred even better than the fragrant
Rosemary" with which he was so sue
cessful two seasons ago, and Ii is GER
tainly admitted to give the actor MS
best opportunities for what have come
TO be known as the Drew" methods or
reaching the highest artistic results.
No actor knows better than Mr.. Drew
how To apply that delicious comedy
touch so seldom found outside the CO.
medic Franchise, and he does much Of
this i'm THE Liars" The play was
written by Henry Arthur Jones, ana Is
a comedy of society manners, in the
best vein of that distinguished author.
1t is noted for the high quality OF It's
literature, and is brilliantly satirical.
For four full months 1t occupied the
stage of the fashionable Empire the
atre. New York. and comes here after
n notable engagement in Boston. Miss
Isabel Irving will be Mr.. Drew's lead
ing lady, the position to which she was
elevated last season. The balance OF
the company, II need scarcely be said,
will be the best that can be drawn from
the American stage. IL Is considered,
as a whole the best company this Ver-
satile actor ever had. and that is say
ing much. when il is remembered that
Mr.. Drew never had a bad supporting
organization. The whole atmosphere
,, Of the play is one of superlative ele-
pance.
