 the only company of farceurs ganized
 for this play. '"The Girl from Max
 im's,' in it's original French form, has
 been running in Paris for the past
 three years. Tn it's American version
 which preserves all the jolly fun and
 bright lines of the original, it had a
 long and prosperous run at the Criteri-
 on theater, New York. It contains more ingenious and Imaginable situations than in any farce ever produced. New York
 liked it and roared over 1t, and it's stay there could have been continued all sea- son were it not for an engagement that had been previously made for the ap- pearance of another attraction at that theater The company, which is an un- usually clevr one, is headed by Miss Lena Mervile, who is said to have made a phenomenal success as the gay girl from Maxim's, who makes it very lively for old Doctor Petypont, played by w. H, Turner, who is well remem- bered for his clever work in so many 1 comedies Seats now OH sale. Prices $1.50, $1, 75 cents and 30 cents.
 | It is as a termagant but a greatly | loved one, who succeeds in wheedling people into her way of thinking when scoldings will not achieve her purpose, that Julia Marlowe will be seen in her new play, When Knighthood Was in Flower" One of the earliest perform ances which this play receives this sea- x5,i1 ha Q 1t H1yparior thnp ar. next Monday night It was so recently as the evening of November 26 that this drama was given it's premier at the Olympic theater, St. Louis The scenes of enthusiasm which greeted Miss Mar lowe that night rose to the dignity of a significant event in theatrical history. Time and again Miss Marlowe was sum- moned before the curtain and at the plays end the audience remained standing for five minutes, shouting it's congratulations to the happy actress The Princess Mary Is a creature of con- tradictions, giving people the rough edge of her tongue one moment and wheeling them the next. Although the play Is largely in vein of com edy, Miss Marlowe has opportunities for the display of emotional strength, and once or twice she touches note of tragedy. The supporting company is large and includes players who have contributed characterizations of merit to the stage in England and America. The advance sale has been large, but good seats still remain for sale. Prices $2, $15O $1 and 75 cents.
