Academy of Music.

"The Round-Up," Klaw & Erlang-
er's stupendous production of Ed
mund Days famous drama, will be
the attraction at the Academy of Mu-
sic, Baltimore, on Monday evening,
November 80. This play, with its
heart interest and thrills and extra
ordinary sensationalism in the most
realistic battle scene ever presented,
has popular appeal that has result
ed in an unbroken succession of
crowded audiences wherever seen.
The production is one of the larg-
est that Klaw & Erlanger have ever
made and they have omitted no de-
tail in scenery or equipment that
would contribute in any way to the
completeness of this great atmospher-
ic picture. The company is large
and very able one and in addition to
the leading players there an auxil-
iary interest in the form of genuine
Western cavalrymen, cowboys, MeXi-
can vaqueros, Apache Indians and
twenty-six COW ponies from Arizona
cattle ranges. The locale of the
scenes is Southwestern Arizona be-
fore the advent of the wire fences and
during the period when General Cook
was chasing Conchise and his braves
into the reservation at Fort Grant.
The story, although written about a
Western theme and strongly dra-
matte, is not of that wild and woolly
character that one almost instinc-
lively associates with the term
western play"
The battle scene" is almost appall-
ing in it's realism. 1t is the real
thing in shot and shell and gatling
gun, and it is worked up to a climax
of overwhelming excitement. In this
scene twenty-five mounted Indians
rise along the tortuous path at the
edge of a precipice and the attack
upon the two wanderers in the desert
by this band of Apache Indians and
their routing by detachment of U.
S. cavalry headed by "Slim" Hoover,
the sheriff.
Regular matinees on Wednesday
and Saturday.
