''THE TINE, THE PLACE and THE GIRL.
With the prestige of having enjoyed
the longest run ever scored by any
theatrical offering in Chicago, in addi-
ton to Broadway and Boston runs, "The
Time, The Place and The Girl" comes
to the Lyric for the second time on
Tuesday, Oct. 20, 1908. The plot is to
the effect that "Happy" Johnny Hicks,
square young gambler, has been spend
ing a night in Boston with his pals,
Laurie Farnham and Tom Cunningham,
two rich mems sons. In q fight with
some card sharps, Cunningham hits a
man with wine bottle, and fearing the
consequences, the trio make their escape
before the police arrive. Hoping to find
hiding place and also to take a need
ed rest, they find their way to sanitar-
ium in the Virginia mountains. Cum
ningham meets his sweetheart there, and
Hicks falls in love with thepretty nurse,
Molly Kelly, who proves to be the sister
of the man injured by Cunningham in
the escapade in Boston. This interest
ing situation is enhanced by the fact
that the sanitarium is placed under quar-.
antine, and as the servants are all alb.
sent, the guests have to serve them
selves. In the course of the play Hicks
shoulders Cunningham's guilt, and thus
puts himself Gin wrong" as he ex.
presses it, with the nurse. Arthur Dunn,
who won distinction by his character
work in "The Sultan of Sulu," heads
the cast. Others appearing are May
Bouton, Josephine Park, Violet McMil,
Ian, VIM. Herman West.

At The Lyric.

To-night's the night, Friday. At last
we are to see the much talked of Euro
pean and New York success-"The
Devil" DER TeufeD. There is hardly
any doubt that the Lyric Theatre will
be crowded to its utmost capacity, judg-
ing from the enormous advance sale OF
seats. By special arrangement with
Henry w. Savage, Mr.. Alfred f. Aarons
is enabled to present to the theatregoers
the version that created such furore at
the Garden Theatre, New York. 1t is
without a precedent that one play can
be presented simultaneously at two New
York theatres, but "The Devil" has
succeeded in accomplishing this stupen-
dous feat, and to capacity houses at
that.
