Lincoln j. Carter's original Chicago
Criterion theatre production of his
own powerful drama, "Her Only Sin,"
| comes to the opera house on the night
of Thursday, October 5th. This
play is now in its third success
full season and possibly may go out for
several more before it is finally put
into stock houses and leased out to
reputable repertoire companies. In
this story, Mr.. Carter has brought all
his faculties together to make it one of
the strong dramatic productions to
last not only for its initial season but
for many more to come. In this his
judgment and foresight has proven
right. From the press, public and the
numerous amount of unsolicited letters
received in his office all praising in the
| highest manner the intense interest it
contains it argues well that the play
will go down into memory along with
East Lynne, Camille" and a few
more of the celebrated emotional plays.
