Something decidedly unique is promised in
1.-THE Desperate Lord Darlington" Thrills
and laughter are said to abound and the
rehearsals indicate that the statement will
be borne out. The character Of the play,
the fact that it was written by local au-
thors and the fact that 1t will be produced
by local favorites with plenty of St. Louis
scenery gives additional notoriety to the
piece. The demand for seats indicates a
most profitable engagement. THE Way
of the Transgressor' is the current offer
ing.

be the next attraction at the Imperial

ing scenes with comedy situations. In one
