Since the early part of last summer
notices have appeared in the leading
,,apers throughout the country regard
ing the play OF molly Pitcher" which
was written by Glen MacDonouSh eSpe-
cially for the wcll-llnown actress, Miss
Kathryn Kiddcr. Much interest was
manifested in the Advancement OF all
the characters connected with the Amerl-
can Revolution, Molly Pitcher is per-
haps the most picturesque. Her gal
lantry at the battle of Monmouth, where
she loaded and fired cannon, Will never
he forgotten by the American people.
1t is rather surprising that no dramatist
has ever before selected such q fruitful
subject for his pen Molly Pitcher.
The impersonation of this heroine of the
American Revolution by Kathryn Kid
der is said to be one of the most sue
ccssful contributors ever given TO the
American stage. THE play is reported
to be fun of excellent comedy situations

1cnity for the display OF her skill. The
final act of the piece, laid on the batte-
field of Monmouth, is reported TO be most
realistically represented. Miss kidder's
support has been engaged for the New
York production of the play, which will
shortly occur. The same company that
