one or the most interesting

that existed in the German original. if
carefully adapted to Anglo Saxon

cess of his career was ga Message
from Mars which he will present at
the Metropolitan for three nights and
Saturday matinee, beginning Thursday
night.
The extremely unusual nature Of this
piece rendered it's first production a
remarkably hazardous venture, but Mr.
Hawtrey,s persevered in the face of
many warnings, tho he felt It was a
case of utter failure or unusual
triumph. Fortunately, the latter was
the result. "a Message from Mars''
now holds the premier record of any
play OF the last decade, having been
acted by Mr.. Hawtrey himself over
twelve hundred times, while during the
last five years it has been acted by
other companies under his direction in
England, Australia, India, and in fact
nearly every English-speaking country.
In the early part Of the present season
Mr.. Hawtrey had at the Princess theater
his third Broadway run in this play,
with results as gratifying as on the first
presentation, when it was acted for an
entire season at the Garrick theater..
