Arnold DAILY in "Know Thyself."-
Theatre-goers who picture Arnold DAILY as a
dashing, care-free young gallant, this having
been their observation in many of the plays
in which he has appeared, have a surprise in
| store. When Know Thyself'' comes to the
Auditorium Theatre, Baltimore, next week
Mr. DAILY will be seen as General de Siberian, a
middle-aged warrior, with a pretty young
wife, handsome son by an earlier marriage,
and an interesting ward in the person of one
Pavail, who for long time has been mem
Der of his family. The play is by Paul Her.
| vieu, a noted French dramatist and ran q
record season at the Coincide Franchise, in
Paris The characters are of such even i'm
portance that Mr.. DAILY experienced much diff
ficulty in making a selection of the part he
should play Finally he chose the role of
| General de Siberian, around whose rigorous
ideas of rectitude the action centres. Mr.. DAILY
states that the moral of the play is to be found
in the title Before taking definite action, it
is well to make thorough examination of
ones inner self. What man might do, theo-
retically, may be quite different to his course
when confronted by the actuality. Therefore
and wherefore, "Know Thvself."
