 Tonight
In the New Musical Play CLARIFYING MARY"


 Recalling the great hit made in Molly Moonshine" by Marie Cahill last season, and considering that all reports make her new musical play. Marrying Mary" the best she has ever had, the success of this most popular comed- ienne at the Montgomery Theatre to- night Is practically assured. Her new offering comes from a two months run at Daly's Theatre New York.
 We are assured that Miss Cahill will follow her usual custom of retaining the original New York cast, and of bringing with her the same production in every detail. This means that George Backus Eugene Cowles and Roy At well are coming, and stronger trio of comedians and singers cannot be imagined. It is said that Marrying Mary" which was written by Edwin Milton Royle, with music by Silvio Hein and lyrics by Benjiman Hapgood Burt. is the best medium Marie Cahill has ever had.
 Miss Cahill Is a whole evenings en- tertainer in herself. but she evidently does not think so, for she divides the time more than equitably with her principals.
