1t was military play entitled 'The Boys
of Company b." written by Mrs. Rida
johnson Young, author of the college
play, Brown, of Harvard" and in its
presentation, Arnold Daily, who is best
known for his Interpretation of Bernard

role-that of Tony Allen, dashing young
guardsman. This pleasing comedy will
be presented by the Orpheum Dramatic
Stock Company. and its offering at the
Chestnut Street Theatre in the same city,
at this time will mark its first production
at popular prices. 1.-The Boys of Com
pany B" is refreshing comedy, not too
broad in its fun, but more of the romantic
type. Opening with scene showing the
gymnasium In the home of Major Mac
Lane, it shifts to the camp of the New
York Grays, and concludes at the summer
home of the MacLanes, the action
throughout the three acts being OF the
rapid fire kind. In the presentation the
Orpheum players will be seen to splendid
advantage. William Ingersoll will play
the part of "Tony Allen" and Lillian
Lawrence will appear in the charmin
role of eileen" The other members of
the company will, it is promised, have
roles congenial to their individual ability.
