THE CLIMAX. u

The Climax, the most delightful
play of recent years will be presented
in this city for the first time at the
Milo Theatre next Tuesday September.
20.
The United Play Company promises
a cast Of unusual excellence and a pro-
duction in keeping with the general
high character of the Offering.
Music plays such an important part
in this beautiful little drama that it is
often referred to as a melody play.
THE Song of the Soul'' sung during
the performance has become one of the
most popular songs published IN years.
The story is OF young woman,
Adlina Won Hagen, who comes to New
York from the middle West to study
music and to develop her voice as a
singer. She resides IN the household OF
her instructor, Luigi Golfanti, and is
beloved by his son Pietro. She Is also
beloved by John Raymond, a. young
physician from her home town. A
minor operation becomes necessary to
relieve her throat. It is performed by
specialist after which Adelina is left
in the care of Doctor Raymond. Pre-
viously, however, the girl has rejected
both suitors, in order to follow the
delightful will-o- -the-wlsp, IA stage
career. DR.. Raymond employs
suggestion to destroy the girls ability
to sing. The situations are incense,
although natural and unlabored. There
is an unusual comedy relief, the two
together forming what has been pro-
nouncd the best play in years.
