Mr. Berfesford to Reurn.


 One of the strongest dramatic attrac- lions in the country today, Harry Berss- ford, in special engagement of J. M Barrie's delightful romance "The Pro- fessor's Love Story" Is announced for a return engagement at the Montgomery Theatre soon.
 No play on the stage of today more cleverly depicts the power of love or of friendships golden bonds, and no play CT reaches the sympathies of his audi enco with more delicate touch and a greater display of natural talents than does Harry Beresford.
 The motif of "The Professors Love Story is based on a humane subject and permits the genius of MT. Beresford 90 strike that we'll spring of emotion-tle heart-in most sympathetic manner. In fact The Professors Love Story has been classed among the greatest of J. fl. Barrie's writings, some critics even go.Ig so far as to term it's creator the modern Dickens, so exquisite and so true are hIs character delineations.
 MT. Beresford comes to us with re- cord of success to his credit in all tho cities wherever he has presented 1t. Its superb mountlngs. magnificent settingJ and beautiful gownngs create in the.n- selves quite a furore. He has also sur- rounded himself with a company of play CTS that contains the names of many not able artists.
