Theater-g -goers will welcome the con- ing of ''The Prince of Pilsen" to Iolls on Saturday evening, as it Is known that Henry W. Savage will bring the big New York production and his own Prince of Pilsen" orchestra.

The music is one long dream ot delight, the best that Gustav Luders has ever written. There is a genuine plot. and altogether the piece deserves the great success 1t has enjoyed. Among the originals of the cast are John W. Ransone, Belle Bucklfn, Ivae Anderson, Hobart Smock and others. T-e sale of seats opens tomorrow morning; prices are 25. 50 cents, S1 and S1.5Q. .-..
