PRINCE OTTO."-Romantic drama has
always been welcomed in this city with open
arms. especially when presented on
liberal scale, as is Prince Otto," the new
romantic play which Otis Skinner is to pre-
sent next week at the Columbia prince
Otto" will be presented by Mr.. Skinner here
with the original company and all the feat
ures which marked the long and successful
run at Wallack's Theater, New York Mr.
Skinner has always been recognized as the
leading exponent of the romantic drama in
this country and the part Of Prince Otto Is
said to offer him a most excellent opportun-
ity to show his ability. Mr.. Skinner has
founded Prince Otto" upon two episodes
of Robert Louis Stevensons novel. 1t is in
five acts an3 was one of the distinct sue
cesses of the present New York season.
Mr. Skinner Is seen in the title role with
such associate players Percy Haswell,
Grace Filkins, Maude Durbin, Jane Pey-
ton, Elizabeth Lea George Nash Frank
Sylvester and thirty others. Prince Otto
is play that appeals to the finer senses.
1t is a little apart from the romantic
drama of the Zenda type; there is some
thing more to it than lovelorn sigh and
a rapier thrust. Prince Otto is a hero who
inspires and it does not bankrupt ones
imagination to picture him outside the
pages of story book. The sale of seats
and boxes open at the box office of the
theater in the morning, and the many in
QulTleS already indicate Inal the forth
coming engagement of Mr.. Skinner will be
the most successful one that he has yet had
in this city.
