Manager Van Werden has secured for
Friday, Nov. s, 'The Eleventh Hour.
This is Lincoln j. Carriers latest success.
MIR. Garter has written many plays that
have been popular with the public, but
in 'The Eleventh Hour" he has sur.
passed previous efforts. 1t is replete
with comedy and pathos, blended in
manner that will suit all. The scene of
the play being Chicago, the home of
exciting events, one can easily imagine
the result. Mr.. Carter introduces for
the first time on any stage complete
Block Tower" as used on all railroads
to check the running of trains, thus
insuring the safety of thousands each
day; the scene shows the complete work.
ing OF the system and how p1uch depends
upon it. The last act is said to be the
handsomest and most expensive stage
setting ever produced outside of large
cities, showing the beautiful drawing
room Of one of Chicago's rich men. 1t
is in this scene that the hand to hand
struggle for life occurs; the two men in
their fierce hate, hurl each other against
the elegant furniture, vases and brio
brac are smashed and it appears as
though tornado had passed through.
1t will be presented by an excellent com
pany which includes the eminent Ger
man dialect comedian and sweet singer
Chas. A. (Karl.) Gardner.
