WAR ECHOES IN
"SECRET SERVICE"
William GilIette's Best Play to
Be Given at the Valencia
Theater

The last performance of George Ade'S
amusing and interesting rural drama.
The County Chairman Will be given
at the Valencia theater this Sunday
afternoon and evening. Beginning with
the special matinee on Washington's
birthday, tomorrow, William Gillette's
best of all war plays, Secret Service, .
will be produced on an elaborate scale.
Secret Service" was the attraction at
the Baldwin theater when the fire de-
stroyed that famous playhouse. Since
then IL has never been given an ade-
quate presentation in this city, conse-
quently the coming production will be
OF peculiar interest to all theater goers.
Gillette has not written anything bet
ter than Secret Service" though he is
the author of many successes. In its
construction he dispensed with many of
the conventional war drama" features
substituting a strong and logical plot.
This fact accounts for the success of
the play in England and France, where
It's merits as drama, apart from pa
triotism, were instantly acknowledged.
The Incidents of the play center in
the efforts of Captain Thorne, a mem
ber of the United States secret service,
to hoodwink the authorities of Rich
mond while that city is under siege.
he is employed in the army telegraph
service, and his endeavors to aid the
besiegers by wiring false commands to
the defending forces bring him under
odSPASiOii. Ilc lS SuDJeCleO 10 various
tests, but he successfully withstands
them. even to hiding the horror con-
veyed to him by a beloved brother
shooting himself in his presence The
love interest is maintained through
Thorne's affection for typical South
ern girl and her infatuation for him.
The members of the Valencia stock
company should give excellent ac-
counts of themselves in Secret Serv-
ice" as majority of them have made
individual hits in the play. Mace Green
leaf counts Captain Thorne as one of
his best characters and Blanche Stod-
dard has played Edith Varney, his
southern sweetheart, with great sue
cess.
Florence Gear is appearing in the
leading role in Marrying Mary" the
musical play in which Marie CahflI
made her San Francisco debut last
year. Much new music has been writ
ten for the piece by the composer, Sill
vic Helm.
1t is claimed for Victor Herbert's
Babes in Toyland'' that it contains
more whistiing numbers than any other
musical comedy. It will follow Mrs
Wigs of the Cabbage Patch" at the
American theater and the production is
promised to be the New York COM

There Is no gainsaying the extraor- :
binary popularity of Mrs. Wiggs OF

Little Tommy furnishes the plot, makes
the most of that character and is alto

1t is not to be wondered at that Mrs.

two famous stories has proven even
more popular, if possible. than the
originals. for the comedy features of
the latter have been elaborated. the ju-
venile element preserved and all of the
prominent village types put upon the
stage in so clever and ingenious a
manner that the audience is kept con-
vulsed with laughter throughout the
performance.
