 Saturday matinee and night, syi- via Linden in "Her Own Way" The man who stands on Dexter ave- nue and curses the luck of Montgom- cry theatregoers may take rest from his labors this week. We are to nave at least two attractions at the Mont gomery Theatre that ought to silence him for a while. If the appearance here of William Faversham in The Squaw Man" and Annie Russell in "A Midsummer Nights Dream" don't ease his pain he is not to be cured. When the man with the chronic .ail-
 ment tells you that he saw MT. Faver- sham and Miss Russell on Broadway for less money than you will see them in Montgomery just tell him that you know better. Take my word For 1t that you will see the New Yorkpro ductions. too. MT. Faversham with
 
 played so long a time at Wallack's Theatre in New York in 'The 6quaw Man" will be at the Perry street play house Tuesday evening and notwith- standing we will be excited over elec- tion returns. every true lover Of the good in the drama will want to see this fine Western play interpreted by men and women who know.
 MT. Faversham's company includes number of Montgomery favorites. His leading woman Is Jdlie Opp. the St. Louis girl whose father counts his money by millions. She is an extra ordinarily good actress notwithstand- ing this handicap. Then Rosabel Nor rison. daughter of our old friend Me- phisto, has an important part with MT. Faversham, as we'll as Theodore Rob- erts. remembered here as The Honor able Jim Hackler, and Harold Russell. a brother of the young woman who plays Puck" later in the week are in the Faversham cast.
 Miss Russell comes late in the week direct from the new Astor Theatre in New York. The critics of the metro politan press were amazed at the au- dacity of Wagenhals and kemper in producing "A Midsummer Nights Dream" with such profligate extrava- gance. The entire entertainment is a novelty. Tho fact that the star part is given to Puck" played by Miss Russell, is of itself enough to stamp the production as unique.
 It is said that several car loads of scenery are used to make the enter tainment complete and it will un- doubtedly be a notable attraction as Miss Russell does not have any half way dealings in what she undertakes.
 The week at the Montgomery Theatre will begin with revival of Berton's very Frenchy play, Zaza." Mabel Montgomery being the star. Miss Montgomery used to be a farce comedy woman but she has evidently graduated into more serious stuff as the critics are saying that she gives a striking delineation of the French actress.
 In passing 1t is noteworthy that Miss Montgomery. who has lustrous blue eyes and d fetching stage manner, has been getting married. She was joined over in Macon, Ga. the other day by a Chicago doctor who made-her his wife with the aid of a clergyman.
 Wednesday night clever little Arthur Dunn. who in other days made us sit up and take notice of his Kiss for Each Day in the Week." will present his new musical comedy "The Little Joker" which is said to be mighty fine. At any rate Dunn will bring along bevy of beauty girls which will help some. Sylvia Linden will clcse the fat week
 with a production of Her Own Way Saturday matinee and night. Miss Linden is a svelte, auburn haired young
 woman of undoubtedly dramatic talent. It will be worth while to see her in the part that Maxine Elliott played with so much success.
 Altogether the Hirscher boys are due praise from the hammer and tongs club for what they are going to do this week and the man with a grouch won't have much to say for awhile at least. Mabel Montgomery In "Zaza.'' From the demure, sly, laughing. singing, dancing widow in Hoyt's "Trip to Chinatown" to "Zaza" is a long journey, and that is the journey Mabel Montgomery has taken.
 the Montgomery Theatre in Pierre
 Berton's masterpiece, "Zaza," the good, gentle, loving. trusting, unsuspecting, fearful rageful. cyclonic, tanned. re- pentant and regenerated "Zaza." To
 display the emotions of this tremen. dous character convincingly requires, if not genius, talent of the first or der. Miss Montgomery succeeds spIen- didly in the task, for wherever she has played 1t in the past two years she has won the praises of high and | low, gallery and pit. The vitality that she has put into her two or three | hundred impersonations of the Titan haired Zaza would help wonderfully | to restore health to feverish and con- ! sumptive Russia. She goes through 1 the play like a prairie fire through
