WHEN WE WERE TWENTY-oNE'

Tomorrow afternoon there will be
 a souvenir matinee at Polls and
 pictures of Frank Wallace will be
 distributed. MT Wallace has done a
 lot of good work this summer and is
 deservedly popular both with his fellow players and the patrons of the house who are quick to recognize and appreciate faithful intelligent and painStaking effort. The amorouS cowboy Steve in "The Cowboy and The Lady" the drink wrecked, drug ridden Otto in Friends" and Dr Mc- Grath in the current attraction,
 When We Were Twenty-One," are the roles in which he scored his big gest successes and not since George Hoey went away has there been any one in his line of work who resembles his methods as closely as does Mir Wallace. There are only few more photographs to be distributed to complete the seasons set and those who have been collecting them all summer will not want to miss the Friday afternoon matinees When We Were Twenty-One" is proving the constantly increasing success everyone who knew the draw ing power of the piece prophesied it would be and the company is giving now a beautifully balanced and pol ished performance. It takes time to get all there is out of play especial ly in stock work where there is little time for fineness of study and the success the summer players have made with the Carton piece is an ex- cellent recommendation for everyone concerned. Prices are 10, 20 and 30 cents, afternoons 10 and 20 cents, ladies 10.
