British dependency more than mil

Did you ever try to spend million
In year? From the difficulties en-
countered by Brewster it would seem
that the spending of ten hundred
thousand dollars "legitimately' in 365
days is attended by greater hardships
than is the saving of similar amount.
The action of the piece, as might be
imagined. is rapid and is intensely
funny. The company for the most
part is made up of young players
equipped with spirit and enthusiasm,
the scenery is elaborate and massive,
the lines are witty. the situations
cleverly conceived, and the storm
scene in the third act one of the most
realistic ever conceived.

Brewster's Millions.

BreWSterS MILLIONS.
The Cohan & Harris company, head
ed by Robert Ober, will present the
New York, London and Chicago sue
cess, "Brewster's Millions" at the
Metropolitan tomorrow.
"Brewster's Millions" is a dramati-
cation Of George Barr McCutcheon's
novel of the same name. The play
deals in the frankest manner imagln-
able with the improbable and impossi-
BILE, and this same frankness so takes
the audience off its guard that the un-
real becomes real, and the smile of
bland good nature engulfs every one.
