THE THEATRES
SMITHS.

Don't fail to see the performance this evening of Clyde Fitch's very cleverest comedy, Girls" for it is without ques. tion one of the most delightful and en- joyable offerings of the season. and this city is fortunate in being allowed two days in which to see it. The pre- ssenting cast is the same which con- tributed to the success of the piece in New York, during it's long run of 225 nights at Daly's theatre, and the same i; elaborate stage production is shown tso that the attraction is a metropolitan one in every respect.
 
 "Graustark," George Barr Me Cutcheon's thrilling romance of a love behind a throne has not only made a fortune for the author but for two different firms of publishers. and now promises to make fortune for g. firm of theatrical managers who have se- cured the dramatic rights for the book and will present the play in the lead ing theatres of the principal cities this season. It is conservatively estimated that more than two million people . have read the book. and as there is an ; edition on the market now selling for fifty cents 1t probably will continue to be read for some time to come. Judg- ing by the immense crowds who turn ed out to see this play when presented in New York. Chicago, and Philadel- phia. the majority of those who read the book desired to see the story por- trayed in dramatized form. ''Grau- stark" with the entire original cast and stage production, is the offering for Monday (Washington's Birthday with a special big holiday matinee. at bar gain prices which are just one-half the night schedule. Don't fail to see "Graustark." for it has the personal endorsement of every travelling man vx,In vii n. sequence, 1t must be worth while.
 
 There still number of good seats remaining for "The Pied Piper," in which DeWolf Hopper and his big company will appear Tuesday evening. under the auspices of the Shriners. They are few in number. however, and early application should be made for them, before some one else gets ahead of you Don't forget that the curtain Tuesday evening rises exactly at g.. and those who are not in their seats at that time will have to stand until the close of the first act. The opening portions of the play are among it's finest features. and there can be no disturbance during these first scenes.
