FINE PRODUCTION AT
THE MANAGER TONIGHT,

Richard Carvel' the novel has con
quered Il high place in the regard of
the pubic as one of the most popular
books that ever emanated from the pen
OF an American author. But aside from
the merits which serve to establish a
book as a popular success, Winston
Churchill's masterpiece possesses an
attribute that is lacking in many
novels;-it was capable of being dra-
matized, and it's wealth of dramatic
material utilized in forming a play
which has achieved in the dramatic
world a success coincident with that
won by the book on it's literary merits.
Andrew Robson. who has become iden-
titled with the title role Of this popular
drama, is said to make an ideal Car
VEL" endowed as he is by nature with
the attributes that seem to belong by
rights to Mr.. Churchill's romantic
hero; and the company with which he
has surrounded himself has received
universal commentator for faithful
p%ortrayals of the t%hirty-one characters
that are employed in the development
of the story. The production Of Rich
ard Carvel" in announced at the New

Disastrous Attempt to Smoke Them
Out Of a Barn,

Out OF a Barn.
