Klaw & Erlanger will present new
play at Wallack's Theatre, New York,
Monday evening, Eugene w. Presbreys
dramatic version of Sir Gilbert Parker's
popular novel, 1.-THE Right of Way
The principal of characters will be played
by Guy Standing and Theodore Roberts,
who made such marked personal hits in
the characters of Charley Steele" and
Joe Portugais' at the recent premiere of
this piece in Montreal that Klaw s. Erlan-
LANCER Immediately decided to make these
exceptionally capable actors joint stars in
this play. This is the first instance in
stage history where two members of a
company made such notable hits in their
parts that the management advanced them
to the position of stars. Mr.. Presbrey has
written a powerful play in five scenes
played in four sets-the den of Charley
Steele in Montreal, the Cote Dorien on the
st. Lawrence at night. the hut of Joe Por-
tugais on the mountain and the Valley of
Cooling Springs. The third and fourth
are played In the same act. The new
piece, like all the Klaw 6 Erlanger pro
auctions. is superbly mounted. The sup
porting cast is headed by Martin Sabine,
Joseph TuohY, E. Y. Backus, Edison R.
Miles, J. H. Rowland, Louis LIE Bey,
Henry Wenman, Henry ]. Hatfield, May
Buckley, Paula Gloy, Alice Lownes and
Mignon Beranger.
Klaw & Changers production of "The
Round Up" which was transferred to the
Broadway Theatre, New York, began the
third week of its run at the house last
evening. This is the greatest dramatic hit
of the season in New York. Its remark
able success shows the desire of the thea
tire going public for strong plays of genu-
inc human interest. That 1t meets this
demand is the secret of its phenomenal
public favor. The Indian battle in the
third act is the greatest feature of this
kind ever presented on the stage and far
surpasses in thrilling realism the battle
scenes In all plays In American stage his
tory. The scene is wonderful graphic
stage picture and is geographically
true representation of the badlllaDds OF
Arizona. The opening Indictment in this
act is the appearance of sixteen mounted
Apache Indians moving along a cliff on
the mountain. This is a thrill in itself,
the Indians appearing riding on a ledge OF
rock at least thirty feet above the stage
level. The matinee performances Wed.
nesday and Saturday afternoons are large.
ly attended by ladies and children who
greatly enjoy the wild west scenes, the
bucking horses and the battle.

gurated at the Forrest Theatre, Phfladel-
phia, yesterday afternoon. Klaw & Err

artists representing a diligent survey OF
the vaudeville field and liberal expendi
ture in salary lists The majority of these

Vesta Victoria, who is probably the
most popular singing coincidence In
America to-day, is the headliner of the
long bill. With "Poor John" and "Wait
ing at the Church" Miss Victoria set the
entire country whistling, humming and
singing, and now she has two new songs
to offer Answer Goo Goo" and "Don't
Get Married Any More, Ma" which are
likely to find great vogue. Another fea
ture of the programme will be Cinquevall
the unparalleled juggler, the man who be-
fore the German Kaiser placed the point
of pin on the rim of small coin and or
the pin balanced billiard ball, and then
held this remarkable connected series Of
articles upright upon his chin. "That
Quartet" is another star attraction, coming

York Theatre Roof Garden.
