excellent results by Henrietta Crossman,
Will be the attraction offered by the Or

Like "a Gentleman Of France" the

do with knighthood, chivalry, sword,
play, duels, plots and love affairs in album
dance to satisfy the most exacting lover
a NAL 0I1 IA +
act1on-rapid fire action-the kind that
makes every moment of the play move
with lightning swiftness and holds the
auditor spellbound with its thrilling and
exciting scenes.
The central figure in "The Sword of
the King" is almost the counterpart of
the Gentleman of France"-the only
difference is that in this weeks play the
principal character is young woman, a
spirited girl, who dons masculine attire
to uphold the honor of her family.
Patrons of the Orpheum Company can
look forward to a genuine treat in the
production of "The Sword of the King"

ing and attractive heroine in a soldiers
uniform, and William Me1rose as Royston
Will be manly hero. The cast will also
include Robert Cummings, Leah Winslow,
refer Lang, kathlene mcdonnell and
the other favorites of the company. A
picturesque mounting of the play is as
sured by Stage Director Percy Winter.
A little over year ago the Orphenm
Players, at the Chestnut Street Theatre,
created somewhat of sensation in Phila-
delphia by producing for the first time
Liebler & Co.'S powerful play of New
York slum-life, "The Regeneration. "
It was in this play that George Parker as
Owen Conway, dere1ict of the Bowery
who is regenerated through the influence
of good woman, made his first big hit
as an Orpheum Player, and since then
there have been numerous and urgent
requests to repeat this forcefu1 and real
istic drama.
1t is, therefore, with pleasure that the
management of the Chestnut Street
Theatre announce that 1.-THE Regenera-
ton" will be seen again during the week
of April II, with Mr. Parker in his origin
al role and Marion Barney as Marie Deer
ing, the settlement school teacher, who
brings about such wonderful changes in
Owen Conway's life.
