''Salomy Jane" the justly famous and
beautiful play of the rugged West, in
which Miss Eleanor Robson scored the
most triumphant success of her career
will be given its first production al
popular prices at the Chestnut Street
Theatre, Philadelphia, this week.
This is the play which Manager LAT
erty has had in preparation for several
weeks, and its presentation for the first
time by resident theatrical organiza-
ton should prove of more than ordinary
interest to Philadelphia theatregoers
Not only will the Orpheum Company
present the play as presented by Miss
Robson, but the production in It's entirety,
including the magnificent scenic equip
ment employed by Liebler & Co., will be
given, SO that the patrons of the Chestnut
Street Theatre are assured a dramatic
treat as ENJOYABLE as was 1.-The Girl of the
Golden West"
ANY one who is at all familiar-and
who is not-with Bret Harte's little story
of ''Salomy James Kiss" with its depth
and intensity of both passion and action,
will need no introduction to the characters
in ''Salomy Jane, which was adopted by
Paul Armstrong especially for Miss
Eleanor Robson. and which proved to be
his best play. much better, in fact. than
his "Heir to the Hoorah." Salomy Jane
of Bret Harte's story, as of the play, is
Kentucky born and bred, drawn to Cali
fornia with her folks in the great exodus
of the gold fever. There she is wooed by
the many varied personalities that people
