Several box parties have been arrang-
ed for the shuberts' splendid play. THE
Road to Yesterday" with Miss Minnie
Dupree in the leading role, which delight
ed Broadway for months, and which will
appear at the Jefferson this evening.
Louis De Foe said of the play in the
New York World: "A fresh, charming
work of fantasy. The old year at the
Herald Square theatre was ushered out
last night by comedy of the strangest
fantasy, but one whose freshness of idea,
crisp humor and incessant charm ought
to maintain 1t in high favor for long
time on Broadway There is a manager
ial superstitution that a dream play spells
box office ruin. Let 1.-THE ltoad to Yes
terday' now step forth and say it nay!
Head and shoulders above the other
competent actors the diminutive figure of
Miss Minnie Dupree doomed to artistic
heights AS the American girl, exhaust
ed after a busy days sightseeing in Lon
don, who wished herself back 800 years
on midsummer eve and fell to sleep
to have her wish come true, she gave
the daintiest, prettiest performance OF
her career The beauty of the dream
scenes is that the little heroine retains
a sub-conscious idea of her modern life
and looks upon the quaint characters
about her with the eyes of the present
day romantic novelsts and dramatists.
1t is here that the gentle, kindly nature
OF the play enters and furnishes hui
morous interest, quite apart from the
other humorous purposes of the work.
