An amateur investigator has discov-

all her birthday means is the gift of

'Her grandmother was, like all her
family, very rich. 1t occurred to her
that she would like her granddaughter

be as fine as any that money could

He takes charge of all the cards re-

cards are sent in return, and acts as a

SOMETHING ABOUT THE
GREAT PLAY COMING

| What is this phaBtasmagpria,
this comedy of life, as il is call
ed, this "Peer Gynt- the play
that has been more discussed,
more advertised, and PLAYS to
greater houses than any play
presented since the opening sea-
son of "Ben Hur?''
1t is comedy in which there is
something for everybody and every
, thing for some. Those who desire
the grotesque will see Louis James
riding a mechanical pig. Those who
prefer to weep will see him in one of
the most pathetic scenes ever wit
messed on the stage=Peer at his
mothers death bed.s For the lovers,
there is a delightfully."- well played
scene between Peer and his sweet
heart Solveig. For the philosophers,
there is enough to puzzle the brain
in profound study for years Those
who seek merely spectacular beauty
may do so to their hearts content,
for there is a gorgeous panorama of
scenic embellishments that extends
from the cold, snow-capped Norweg-
ian fiords to the glistening Moroccan
sands. Then there are three well
executed dances, one especially
worthy of note. the Anitra dance. a
gem of grace. motion and melody.
In fact. here is an entertainment that
Justly deserves the name applied to
1t, phantasmagoria.
Peer Gynt" is. first seen as a
young chap who has no regard for
the conventional in anything. leaves
home and wanders nearly all over the
world. encounters many escapades
and finally worn out bodily, financ-
tally and mentally. returns home to
find his sweetheart--that he left
years before-has remained faithful
and true to him, and welcomes him
home in his old. and impoverished
age.
The scenic irvestiture presented is
the same as decorated the great per-
formance given by Richard Mansfield
just prior to his death, and has been
secured by MIR. James and will be
produced at the Park opera house.
