"The Thief.

The universal appeal made by THE
Thief" which Charles Frohman viii pre-
sent AT the New National Theater. is
best proven by the fact that this play
when produced in New York ev;nced IN
qualified enthusiasm from those two
prominent journalists, William Winter,
OF the Tribune, and Arthur Brisbane, the
noted editor Mr. Winter IS known as
the critical apostle OF the intelligent.
while Mr.. Brisbane directs his editorials
TO a million persons daily Both these
journalistic powers urged their readers to
see The Thief without fail. Mr.. Winter
found in the play every element Of great
ness and dramatic perfection. while Mr..
Brisbane took the popular viewpoint and
applauded the drama for its realistic
power and its ability 10 teach a lesson.
These we're two potent influences which
caused New Workers 20 retain The
Thief on Broadway FOR more than ten
months. Mr.. Frohman is bringing 20
this city the original production.
