"HUMAN HEARTS"

Good plays, like good wine. improve
with age. This is certainly true of that
marvellously successful melodrama
Human Hearts which Manager
Vaudeville offers for the tenth year
The company to be seen in the play this
season comprises of all of last years
favorites, and wherever part could be
improved upon, the change has been
made, and it is promised that never be-
fore has this beautiful play been 50
well presented. Human Hearts gives
a pure. wholesome lesson that touches
the heart-strfngs in the pathetic scenes
and excites the risibilities in the hui
morous ones. The pathos and comedy
are so we'll blended that the audience
is in tears one moment and convulsed
with laughter the next The scenic
equipment will be perfect in every de-
tail, so it is said, and the management
has done everything possible to insure
a first class performance. At the Towle
