The play, true to its name, is a vivid pic
ture of the dark side of life after the hour
OF midnight in big city. The most Inn
portant scenes are laid In New York. The
story of After Midnight" Is said to be an
interesting one, taken from life, with many

police records. The cast is large and the
production complete In every detail.

%
For three nights. beginning on Thursday

Rose Melville as sis" will be the attrac-
ton at the Krug theater. This favorite
little play is, without a doubt, the most
charming, cleanest and most brilliant COM
edy drama of rural type that has been seen
in many year. Miss Melville, who Gre
ated the name part of the play, will again
be seen, and probably for the last time as
the quaint little country girl OF Posey
county. Indiana, who wears Bingham pima
fores, prunella CATERS and striped stock
ings; who wears her hair in pigtails and
toes-in when she walks homely, honest
and simple, and full Of quaint philosophy.
The story of the play is clean and full OF
heart interest and teaches a moral without
depressing one with the heaviness OF man
ufaotured virtue. The comedy is spontane-
Gus and fresh and the situations are
natural and wholly possible. New special
ties have been added and everything raised
to the highest standard to make this, the
final tour Of Miss Melville. one of unusual
brilliancy.
