Monday evening, October l, supported by
Dorothea Baird and his London company
in Stephen Phillips poetic drama, "Paolo
and Francesca. In the principal role of
THE Man from Now" Harry Bulgar, the
star of Mr.. Savage's organization, has
made the greatest hit of his long stage
career. Mr.. Savage has provided a beau
tlful production as the vehicle for his star
and has surrounded him with an excep-
tionally talented Company. The efforts of
the producer and his players have made
John Kendriek Bangs, Vincent Bryan and
Manuel Klein's fanciful music play a
positive success. For daintiness and

The Prince of India, dramatized by j.

Wandering Jew, known in Gen. Wallace's
story and in the play as 1.-The Prince of
India. This wonderful legendary char
