ADJUSTMENTS
Foyer Chat,


~ Charles Dillingham; will present the
conspicuous young star, Robert Lorraine,
in Man and Superman'' at the Metro
polltan operahouse for three nights and
matinee beginning tomorrow night. This
will be the first time this much talked
about and. greatly discussed comedy has
been seen here. It is believed by many
who are in a position to know, that
Bernard Shaw in creating his hero in
Man and Superman' modelled the here
after himself. Robert Lorraine irnper-
sonates this character in manner said
to be as near perfection as it is possible
for an actor TO perpetuate an imaginary
being in accordance with the authors
idea of realism. There will be a matinee
on Saturday ~
The Frawleys at the Lyceum have
never given more satisfactory, perform
ance than that comprised in the fine
production Of THE Only Way this week.
The play is a dramatization of Charles
Dickens celebrated, story 1.-THE Tale of
Two, C1ties,' ard depicts in a. highly in
terestlng manner the fascinating and
dramatic career of Sidney Carton T.
Daniel Frawley enacts the role of the
brilliant, dissolute young lawyer, and no
part essayed by this sterling actor has
brought him more praise. !
| The Unique family theater is achieving
great success with it's all-comedy bill
this week. Every act on the program is
a funny one, and from curtain to cur
tain the audience is entertained with
clever performances in comedy vein.
Eva Thatcher, the Irish Lady,; Sanford
and Darlington, and Leeds and LIE Mars
IN clever sketches, are high-class features
Of one of the best bills of the season.
One of the greatest personal successes
ever made with matinee audiences at
the Orpheum theater is that credited to
Miss Ida O'Day, the singing Coincidence
and banJoist, appearing at that vaude-
vile house this week. Miss O'Day is
an unusually pretty young girl but her
success lies more in her ability than her
personality. There is something re-
freshingly new about both her singing,
her recitations and her banjo playing.
and the patrons of the Orpheum have
not been long in learning why it is that
she was heralded as Sweet Ida OsDay."
Matinee audiences are also taking I'M
usual interest in Wilfred Clarke and
company in What Will Happen Next?''',
in Coram, the English ventriloquist and
In Mr.. and Mrs. Kemp's Tales Of the
Desert
After Witnessing The Lion anG the
Mouse" which Henry B. Harris will offer
at the Metropolitan the first half, of next
week, opening Sunday night one3isswill-
ing to believe that it possesses every es-
sent1al of perfectly constructed play.
In dramatic strength it is unequaled by
anything seen on the stage for genera
ton; its story is fascinatingly interest
ing and intensely human; the characters
are men and women prominent in the So
| clal, financial and political world of to-
day. Charles Klein has written other
plays which have brought him proni-
nently before the public, but he has new
er created one that has earned the deep
gratitude all those feel who witness
The Lion and the Mouse
| | Lincoln j. Carriers new American play,
"Bedford's Hope with it's wonderfully
realistic and thrilling race scene, is prov
G ing to be one Of the most acceptable Of
D.; ferngs ever seen at the Bijou. and con-
t1nues to play to packed houses. It is
Z a sterling drama, literally endowed with
9 wholesome humor and free from the fla s
@ and inconsistent things often found in
melodrama. The producing company is
7 an excellent one.
: Charles E. Blaneys production
: "Old Isaacs from the Bowery,' which will
. ! be presented at the Bijou next week, will
t be something entirely different from ANY
e drama this playwright has ever written.
