The new play entitled, "The Time
Limit" comedy drama in three acts,
written expressly for the New Chelsea |
Dramatic company by Willard +. George,
who has been associated with the com.
pany since its organization and has
been on of its star members, is now |
IN rehearsal. The plot, which is a
strong one, is an entirely new departure |
from the ordinary play plots There
are no loose ends to be brought to-
gether by efforts of Imagination, and |
the dialogue is one Of much higher
literary standard than some Of the |
plays put on by the company in the
past. In fact, it is bright clean
play with remarkably
good balance of comedy, pathos and
heroics Mr. George has had in mind
in writing it the adaptability of each
member of the company assigned to
the part and this arrangement will I'M.
secure for its production in
June the most successful and entertain
ing play and performance yet offered
by this popular company. Special
scenery is being painted and there is
also promised some startling mechanical
light effects.
