COMING TO THE THEATRES.
The CoIumbin-"Lovers, Lane.n


The popular and surely the most pro-
life, playwright of today seems to be
Clyde Fitch who at the age of thirty
five has written as many successful
plays as he has numbered years. But
none of his efforts has found quicker or
more cordial approval than Lovers
Lane" which, after record breaking runs
of five months in New York City. and all
summer in Chicago, will be brought by
William A. Brady to the Columbia next
week
The scenes are laid in a small New Eng
land town, but it is not farm play like
Way Down East" which 1t has already
rivaled in favor and popularity. The love-
making of a village clergyman and a
pupil from the New York Art League; the
troubles of Simplicity" a child from the
orphanage; the broad hum6r of the viii
lage "backhiters' and social purists; the
good natured cynicism of the opera house
manager, who posts his own bills; the
quaint love-maNing of an old couple of
eighty, and the crusade of the Social
Purity Brigade. are all Incidents blended
into play full Of local color, and much
human interest. In Lovers Lane" the
dramatist is said to have adroitly reveal
ed the real humor and poetry of small
town life.

The Chalk Talk" by Felix Mahoney,
of the Evening Star" at the Church Of
the Sacred Heart, Mount Pleasant, to-
night. is attracting considerable attention
among local students of free hand draw
ing and the public at large, whose inter-
est has been aroused by Mr.. Mahoney's
clever cartoons of well-known national
and local public men during the last few
years.
Mr. Mahoney proposes to show clearly
enough to be understood by almost anyone
the progress of a 'drawable" idea from
the artists brain through the various
stages of development, treatment. actual
drafting. photoGfa ply, reproduction, and
final printing, as it appears in news
papers columns. one form OF progress
that is likely to have a distinct interest
for renders of the papers.
