"The Substitute"

The most appropriate and suspicious
theatrical attraction of the season to com
mence a happy New Year with is Max
Figman, who is announced for three DAYS
Thursday night, with special matinees on
New Years day and Saturday
Mr.; Figman will present his latest
comedy by Beulah NJ. Dix and Evelyn
Greenleaf Sutherland, which is said to be
not only the biggest success of Max Fig
mans career, but also the most elaborate
and pretentlOus production Manager John
Cort has ever made for any of his stars.
The supporting company has been COM
mended everywhere and includes among
others MesSrS. Ernest c. Warde Frank
j. Kirke. Sydney Price, Hugh Dillman,
Harry Levian. Herbert Charles Roy
Raceford, Ernest c. Mack. Stanley Wood
and the Misses Lolita Robertson, Ethel
Myrtle Tannehill.
''The Substitute" derives its name from
the fact that James Smith, an up-to-date
and sporty New York lawyer has prom
ised his future brother-in-iaw that he
will get him a substitute to preach in a
little country village church which the
latter was to have occupied himself, but
is prevented on account of Illness Smith
fails to succeed at any of the seminaries
or theological schools. so in sheer desper-
alton has to go himself and mpersonate
a minister. His experiences and mistakes
while at the parsonage give rise to some
of the most delightful comedy that has
ever been seen on any stage Incidental
to his visit he meets and falls in love
with the beautiful daughter o. the aged
minister, who regularly occupies the pull
pit, and discovers a plot TO incriminate
the aged gentleman for alleged misuse
of church charity funds. The develop
ment OF the love story and efforts of
Smith 10 free the minister of the charge

ing story from beginning to end.

Weary Widowhood.

The death of the husband not only
flights the life Of Bengall widow,
but makes the rest of her existence n
state of unmitigated misery and pri.
yations. She is required to fast on
every eleventh day of the moon, when
she is debarred from all sorts OF food
and drink for twenty-four hours. Her
sufferings from thirst on hot days of
summer are extremely painful, but
she must go through them. The widow
must live on one meal day and
eschew meat and fish. She must re-
nounce ornaments and all sorts Of lux
uries. The Idea of such a state of
misery of his widow keeps a man
from hazardous enterprises, not be-
cause he is afraid to die, but because
MS death means so much misery to his
wffe.-East Indian Mirror.
