House the last three nights OF next week
with a Saturday matinee shortly In "A
Modern Magdalen." and the proof OF this

which this talented actress has secured
for her support. Among the clever actors
who have prominent roles In this widely
ulsCusScQ anu Intense play are JOsepn
Holland Ferdinand Gottschalk and Ho-
bart Bosworth. Mr.. Holland is well
known to the average theatregoers by ais
long association with Charles Frohman's
comedians. where he created the light
comedy roles In many an amusing farce.
IT will be remembered that II is not long
since that he and his brother starred
under the management OF Richard Mans
field In "A Social Highwayman," and
were well received by the refined theatre
goers OF the country. Mr.. oottschalk, an

The New York Sun recently took the
cast OF Quincy Adams Sawyer" a rural
drama which is to be seen here shortly. at
the Imperial. as a proof Of its theory that
the greater success of play was mace
