CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE,
Parliamentary

The Orpheum Players should be at theil
best at the Chestnut Street Theatre, Phila
/ delphia, this week, for the opportunities
offered by "The Professors Love Story
is surely conducive to their peculiar tai
ent. 1t is in just such dramatizations that
the Orpheum Players excel, and ]. M.
Barrie has done nothing in his efforts as
playwright that excels this subtly
charming story, William Ingerso1l, as
the Professor, will fall in love with Marion
Barney as Lucy White, his secretary.
Comment upon Miss Barney in such role
is not necessary. She always adds the
audience to her stage conquests. Leah
Winslow, than whom the city has seen
none more capable, will appear as the
Dowager Lady Gliding, who by the way
will have designs on the simple minded
professor and thereby introduce the ne
cessary vein of humor
Kathleen mcdonnell will be the young
er Lady Gliding and Helen Reimer the
Professors sister. Sir George Gliding
will be portrayed by Edwin Middleton,
and Carson Davenport is going to show
through his role of Doctor Cozens, how
little physicians really know in diagnos-
ing affairs of the heart
The production will be under the super
vision of Percy Winter, who staged it for
E. S. Willard in 1892 The whole play is
full of independent love affairs engaging
the entire retinue of servants-George
Parker, Peter Lang and Edith Walls.

FORREST THEATRE, PHILADELPHIA

K1aw and Erlanger's noted production
of the most thrilling and massive1y
mounted of dramas, "The Round Up, .
which created a memorable sensation at
the Forrest Theatre, Philadelphia, two
seasons ago, will return to the Forrest
Theatre, Philadelphia, November 8th, for
an engagement limited to three weeks
only. From the rush of orders for seats
it will doubtlessly duplicate its former
popular triumph. As those who have
gone for fresh scenes and adventures to
life in the far West, have been fascin-
ated by the outdoor life of perpetual and
hazardous excitement amid wild surround
ings, so all New York, Boston, Chicago
and Philadelphia, was held almost spell
bound with a strange fascination at the
thrilling scenes of Western life brought
to their door so to speak, in the graphic
pictures presented in '"The Roundup. .
It is the vivid reproduction of scenes in
which Indians, cowboys, ranchmen,
cavalrymen, venturesome Western men
and women and dozens of bronchos are
concerned which so many have read
about but which so few have actually seen,
that have made 'sThe Roundup so
Accordingly interesting and an object of
wonderment in the marvellous scenic
presentation of the desert plains and can
yons and the vivid and almost terrifying
realism of its famous battle scene. The
cheers of the vast audiences at this scene
is tribute to the mastery stagecraft of
this stupendous spectacle. The enthu-
siastic interest displayed by every audience
is the most fattering endorsement this
really great production can receive. The
dramatic incident of twenty mounted In
dams riding along ledge on cliff in the
third act and the marve1lously realistic
battle scene add an element of realism to
the play which has rarely been equalled
in the history of the American stage.
Matinees will be given Wednesdays and
Saturdays, the Wednesday matinees being
at special popular prices, with no seat
over 81. Mail orders will receive prompt
attention.

yesterday morning to conduct the annual
tax sale OF PottswSttamle county delin-

sale on record, at least 50 far as the mem-
