HUMOR
AND WIT
Everything to Make an In
tereSting Combination
And a Splendid Company to
Portray Them

Mention OF Harry Corson Clarke at
once brings TO the mind thoughts OF
comedy-of fun-or laughter, loud
long-pleasant memories. IL may be,
Il will he welcome news To all that
the popular comedian will appear
here tonight presenting his selected
company in his latest and greatest
laughing hit His Absent Boy" The
comedian has been so long before the
public now that IL seems %superhuous
to sing his praises Or those OF the pro
duction he will give. His name
stands everywhere tor the best there
is In comedy and stage management
Suffice IL 90 say that in every city
critics and public have united in re-
garding this latest play as. II possible,
the finest un.maker Mr.. Clarke has
yet produced. As TO the play itself:
II is a good plain story that runs right
through, and has the merit of being
perfectly ineligible through all the
maze OF complications that ensue.
The principle character. Pennie by
name, is one OF those unfortunate in.
dividuals who are controlled. together
with the rest OF the household effects.
by their masterful wives. Pennie is
so far under her thumb as to be de.
pendent on her Off the pocket money
he receives, which. IL Is easily seen.
Is absolutely tOo small an allowance
for his pleasure-loying nature. He
has. therefore, resorted TO a diplomat
ic means TO increase his slender rev
enue, and to this end. has Invented a
son by a former marriage for whose
support he needs 500 a month. This
sum. his wife has unhesitatingly al
lowed him. and at the start OF the
play, he is feeling perfectly secure,
when for some unknown reason, Mrs.
Pennie suddenly takes IL into her
head 10 have her husband invite the
absent boy home. Il is then the fun
begins, and the complications follow
thick and fast until IL seems as II a
solution could eve be reached. One
comes. however, and its unexpected
causes not the least OF the
amusement In Pennie. Mr.. Clarke
has a part which gives him magnih-
cent opportunities, and he extracts
every possible iota OF fun from the
piece. The whole. presents an even
ing hat is full Of laughter from start
to finish.
