Frank L. Perley Will Present Mr.. Charles
Dalton, the Eminent Actor, in a
Dramitization of Stanley Wey-

Keenly alive to the fact that the pub
lie at large are taking greater interest
in things theatrical and, moreover, dis.
criminate as to what sort of attractions
they will patronize, so Mr.. Frank L. Per-
ley intends to give them what they
want. With this aim in view, ne has
secured the services of Mr.. Charles Dali
ton, an actor of unqualified merit, whose
success in the role of Marcus Superbus
in "The Sign of the Cross" is mat
ter of universal knowledge, to star in
the huge dramatic success, "a Gentle
man of France" As "Gaston De Mar
sac" Mr.. Dalton finds himself fitted with
congenial part which gives him ample
opportunities to demonstrate that as
romantic actor he has few, if any,
equals.
In sword and gauntlet, he is the ideal
"swash buckler," the hero of court
chamber and the dueling field, strong and
yirile, yet with that captivating voice
and smile that fits so well with his hand
some face, ne irresistably carries his au-
dience to heights of lmthough of en-
thusiasm. The love interest enters large
" into the construction of the play, and
blending it with delft lights and shades
