and the drama probably the best the
eminent author Augustus Thomas ever
write. That is saying much when one
remembers the many American gems to
the credit Of the able American play
wright.
The Witching Hour was first nro-
duced at the Hackett theatre in New
YORK, where II had an uninterrupted
PUN for over a year. Then il was sent
10 Boston and a few other big cities and
returned to New York for another sue
cessfui run of three months. and later
still for third engagement. The Shu-
berts at a great expense sent Mr.. Mason
TO the coast last season with the Origi-
nal cast, and they played in Seattle.
Portland, San Francisco and Los An
geles TO capacity houses every night.
The story of the play is dramatic and
very intense Telepathy dominates the
strong scenes and demonstrates the
truth Of a force that has been very
much doubted. At the opening of the
play an admirable young man, Clay
Whipple, is discovered 10 have a fearful
antipathy 10 a cats-eye stone, the dread
being hereditary. An intoxicated ac-
quaintancs persecutes the boy by hold
ing a cats-eye scarfpin before his face
and WhiDple in hts terror strikes his
tormentOr and kills him. The affair Is

it is a play OF the usual Game type,

sHURERT THEATRE.

To say that the Allen Curtis musical
comedy company at the Shubert theatre
has scored a success in the presentation
OF musical plays IN tabloid form here,
second to the success of no other theat-
rical organization that has ever pre-
sented twenty consecutive plays of one
week each. is phrasing the record of
the Curtis organization pretty mildly.
With the opening Saturday after
noon Of the company in the new musi-
cal play, The Flirting Duchess" the
Curtis players begin their twentieth
week in Salt Lake. Those twenty
weeks have given local playgoers an
established form of entertainment
along musical lines that has proven
new, novel and eminently satisfactory.
