 star. The new play is considered a dis l tinct addition to stage literature. "Sol- diers of Fortune" it is said, ranks with
 MT. Thomas Arizona" Alabama" ! and "In Mizzoura." It centers as in | the novel-about the heroic figure of | Robert Clay and his victorious exploits | in the revolution of Olancho It is in guarding the property and rights of his American employers, the Valencia Min ing company, from the depredations of the revolutionists that he is plunged into this conflict from which he emerg- es with the twin rewards of the love of Hope Langham and the dictatorship of Olancho. No more felicitous selection could have been made as the medium for the stellar debut Of this popular young American actor, for the role of Clay is peculiarly fitted to his mode of artistic expression, his temperament and virile personality.

Morrison, Charles Abbott, Thonl- as w. Ross, Ira A. Hards, Wallace Ed dinger, Macey Harlan, D. M Dresser, Byron Ongley and others. The curtain will rise at o'clock sharp.

 The personality of Grace George as a star appeals strongly to the women of her audiences. Her beauty is delicate, her art dainty and her manner bright and charming. In her present play, 'Under Southern Skies she displays all these graces, and the charm of her performance has drawn crowded houses to the Theater Republic for nearly two months. The play itself, which was written by Lottie Blair Parker, the au- thor of "Way Down East" has devel- oped a marvellous power of attraction for women, too, so that Manager Brady is somewhat in the position of hunter with a double barrelled sure-fire shot gun. Miss George finished her run in New York on January Il and is now on a tour She will be seen in Under Southern Skies at the Hyperion next | Friday night. Seats on sale Wednes | day.
