The story is we'll known but a brief
sketch for the benefit of those who
have not seen the farce will not go
amiss: Frank Perry, a New Yorker,
in order to please his wife tells her he
is a Mason. Amos Bloodgood, his
father-in-law, in Rockford, ILL.,, has
the reputation of being a high degree
Mason. The first of a long series of
embarrassments begins with the father
in-law's visit, which was, to say the
least. unexpected. Perry thinks Blood
good is real Mason, deep in the mys-
teries of the craft, while, were the
facts known, he hes been deceiving his
family for twenty years and knows
nothing more of the order than does
Perry himself When the two meet
the real fun begins, for each resorts
to every imaginable strategy to pre-
vent the other from discovering the
imposture. Henry Stockbridge will

COMING ATTRACTIONS

AUDITORIUM-As expected, THE
Holy City, goes into its second week
tomorrow. The unprecedented run of
this play a year ago, when it held the
Auditorium stage for five weeks, gives
every indication of being repeated with
interest. From the moment of its an
nouncement the rush for tickets began.
Both matineeS were sold out before
the week opened and the night sales
were almost equally as heavy. In an
nouncing the play for a second week,
Mr.. Ferris simply accedes to a demand
coming from all quarters. The play
this year is even superior to the pro-
duction given in the past. The Ferris
company itself is stronger, the players
fitting their several roles admirably.
The wonderful scenic and light effects,
the gorgeous costumes and the stirring
dramatic action all combine to give
THE Holy City" a permanency in the
dramatic history of the west. This
second week, 1t is already assured, will
quite equal any in the past in point
of attendance and early reservations
are necessary on the part of those who
desire to witness this drama of the
Saviours life.
ELASCO-Margaret Mayo's play
Commencement Days" will have its
first presentation on any stage at the
Belasco tomorrow night and will con-
tinue through the week. The scenes
are laid in a girls college, and the prin-
cipal characters in the comedy drama

Why She Is Different
So much for what Miss Ormonde

those things were itemized at the be-
ginning of our talk.
She doesn't go out to suppers after
the show because she is a sane girl
with sane ambitions and she knows
the nocturnal lobster, whether crus-
tacean or human, can only retard her
advance.
She never tastes champagne because
her ambition is not of the bubbly
variety.
She never has had any jewelry
stolen because she has not yet at

She doesn't take automobile rides

She doesn't go to horse races for the

And she hasn't a pet dog because she
cordially dislikes both dogs and cats,
though she is very fond of children.
