awards the palm to Americans over
English people or those of any other
country.

THE Lion and the Mouse" the great
est. dramatic success the American
stage has known, will be presented
here shortly by Henry B. Harris with
a company of exceptional strength and
every requisite in the way of stage
accessories. The play is by Charles
Klein and 1t deals with a theme that
has human nature as it's keynote, the
cospicuous element that Mr.. Klein has
so wildly pictured representing the in
f1uence which the moneyed interests
of the country is exerting on the social
and financial phases of present day
life. The triumph which the play has
achieved is ably expressed by the fact
that 1t is now in it's second year in
New York City; has been played for
eight months to crowded houses in
Boston and broke all the records in
the city of Chicago dupring its run of
four months. "The Lion and the
