her representation of hysteria and bewild-
erment is unexampled in the history Of

Purity OF the Family" Tolstoy's "Resur-
r~ection," Gordin's THE Unknown" and
others. 'Mirele Eros Sunday evening and

successful musical comedy, Little Johnny
Jones" Apart from the coherent story
and a w~ell-sustained plot. with two very
pretty love stories running throughout It's
three acts, Johnny Jones" contains enough
song numbers to stock half a dozen plays
OF its kind, and they are all of that pecu-

twenty songs Of this character. The com
pany which will interpret "Little Johnny
Jones' here is practically the same as
