MAX FIGMAN
IN "MARY JAMES
PA" TONIGHT
Pronounced by All Critics to
Be an Artistic Revelation
of a Tramp Printer.

When modern Enoch Ardens
come home, they generally find a
divorce court staring them in the
face; but, while not so poetical 2s
the creature of Tennyson's imagina-
tion, Hiram Perkins, the beloved
vagabond in MARY James Pa, the
play in which Mr.. John Cort will
present Max Figman at the Grand
Opera House this evening is found
among surroundings, which, while
modern and pastoral, are by no
means prosaic or conventional.
And Hiram Perkins is not forced
to go away and leave his wife to
the arms of another man. In this
play by Edith Ellis he redeems him
self and wins again the love of his
wife. The agency used by Miss El-
lis to bring about this result is the
love of his little daughters, for, as
Hiram says in the last act "What
greater thing in life is there than
the love of little children?"
Mr.. Figman's performance OF
Mary James Pa" is declared by all
the critics to be an artistic revela-
tion and has won him greater dis
tinction than any of the achieve
ments of his notable career. The
sale of seats for the engagement in
this city is now on sale at the box
