 cent triumph The new play is by Ram

 great cleverness in An Irish Gentle
 man." The comedian recently played a

Clifford finally gets pos session of his estate, and all ends hap oily. Seats now on sale. Prices, $1 75 and 50 cents.
 MT. Cranes new play "A Rich Mans Son." is one of those light, farcical works that ripple along with no other ostensible purpose than to create laugh ter. The author of "A Rich Mans Son. conceived thoroughly sane and inter esting story and then worked out along It's line and by legitimate devices the humorous situations in the play. He first made certain of his groundwork and having that right then built up the humor of the play. As has been an- nounced, the comedian is to present the play at the Hyperion on Friday and nights this week. Seats now on sale. Prices, $1.50 $1 and 75 cents.
