1t is the oldest play ever written.
Plenty of comedy and pathos. 1t is a
beautiful production, leaving a strong
impression on all who witness it. 1t
appeals to father, mothers, sweethearts
and wives. A clean, refined, high-class
play.
Do you believe in true friendship?
See this great play and be warned. A
lesson that will never be forgotten.
1t is safe to say that in the whole
range of the drama there is no character
found with such power to compel al
ternate laughter and tears as is shown
by Jerry, the tramp.
The dramatic interest is intense, the
appeal to the sympathy of the human
heart powerful, and the comedy is as
refined as it is successful in moving the
audience to laughter
The entire stage production will under
the personal direction of Chas. Barton.
of New York City, and will be given at
