From the list of attractions that the
popular Park Theatre, Philadelphia, has
offered since the opening of the current
season it would seem almost impossible to
say that one was better than another.
They all have been far above the stan
dard of attractions previously offered at
popular prices, which goes to prove that
Manager Nirdlinger has given list of
attractions the standard of which is SO
highithat comparisons are practically in
apropos. The offering for next week,
however, is one that will not only add new
laurels of success to the now most popular
Park Theatre, but will create a sensation
among the theatrical folks of the city, in
asmuch as Miss Rose Coghlan, supported
by an all-star company will be seen in an
elaborate revival of Peg Wellington at
popular prices, fact which is particu-
larly impressed upon us by the manage
ment. 1t is understood and definitely
urged upon the theatre-going public of
Philadelphia that irrespective of the at
traction or the time said attraction is
played there will be positively no change
in prices at the Park. They will continue
absolutely the same, viz, bargain ma
tinees, Tuesday and Thursday, prices I5c,
25c, and $50; Saturday matinees, I5c, 25c,
$50, soc and few seats at 75c, and the
regular evening prices I5c, 25c, CSC, soc,
75c and $I.oo. Despite these low prices
the effort of the management will be to
better the standard of attraction and to
illustrate his good faith Manager Nird-
linger appends herewith list of some of
the Parks future offerings:

Julia Marlowe's magnificent production
of ''When Knighthood was in Flower"
comes to the Broad Street Theatre for a
month beginning October Al. This will
be Miss Marlow's only engagement in
Philadelphia this season-in fact her only
appearance in any Pennsylvania city, as
her tour this year is more than usually
brief. Aside from month in Philadel-
phia, month in Boston, and month in
Chicago, Miss Marlowe will play in only
six American cities during the coming
fall and winter. She was released from
her Philadelphia contract last spring,
owing to the great success of "When
Knighthood Was In Flower" at the
Criterion Theatre, New York City, where
she would now be save for the fact that
ful6ment of previous contracts is now alb
solutely demanded by managers who sur
rendered their time last year. Miss Mar
loves portrayal of the role of Mary Tudor
in Paul Kester's dramatization of Charles
Majors romantic novel has proved the
triumph of her career. OF all the thirty
four roles in which she has appeared, her
Mary Tudor has scored the most emphatic
success with the public and the critics.
This is probably because it affords so wide
a range for the display Of Miss Marlowe's
gifts, the part including moments ofdelic-
ious comedy and deep emotionalism, and
a constant alienation of smiles and tears.
Miss Marlowe is first seen as a princess
swayed by whims and impulses, next as
young woman surrendering for the first
time to the dictates of her heart, and later
as true heroine willing to surrender all
for the sake of her love and her lover.
The play has been splendidly mounted,
