"An American Gentleman"

The play Mr. William Bonelli
will employ as his starring vehicle
next season, is one that is pecu-
liarly adapted to his accomplish
meuts.
The scheme of can American
Gentleman" deals with the adven-
lures of one George Hathaway,
known among his colleagues at
College as Sampson Of Yale, on ac-
count of his greatphysical strength
and gigantic proportions. The
first sceneis at Hillsdale, N. Y,
the beautiful summer home of the
Hathaways. Everything is pre-
pared for the young Hero's return
from abroad, and the complications
commencing at this point, lnclud-
ing the robbery of the house and
murder of the master, multiply
thick and fast, until the final un-
masking of the Williams and virtue
rewarded through the determina-
ton and skill of the young Hero. A
young gypsy girl who is a tool in
the unscrupulous hands of the band
she is member of, is deeply con-
cerned in the plot, and is finally
rescued by George Hathaway, who
has learned to love her in her trib-
ulations, and at last claims her a.
ais bride.
Even with so slight a sketch as
the above outlines of IAN American
Gentleman, it will be easily seen
that the material is here for stirr-
ing situations and sensational eli
makes, and there will be no lack OF
either in the unwinding of the
career of San American Gentle
man which appears at the Opera
House next Monday June %.
