COMING ATTRACTIONS.


Mans World" which ran for some
months in New York at the Comedy
Theater. The play Is told In four acts
and the scenes are laid in the Bohemian
circles. All the characters in the story
are representatives OF some branch OF
art. The story relates the career. of Frank
Ware, woman writer. who. having
adopted an nlegitimate child. is SO i'm
pressed with the injustice visited upon
it, that she devotes her literary talents
to demanding the same law for the man
as the woman, and that woman should
expect in man the same honor that man
demands OF woman. In a startling man.
ner she suddenly finds that the man she
loves. and has idealized, and who is the
cause Of her bitter fight against men. is
the father of the child. 1t Is the most
successful play in which Mary Manner
ing has appeared for years.

Players. beginning next Monday evening.
will be such a Little Queen" 1t is a
play in four acts by Claiming Pollock,
one of the best known and most sue
cessful of Washington dramatists. and is
still fresh In the minds Of the theater-
going public by reason of the success
attained in IL by Elsie Ferguson. who be-
came a star In a single night by the ex-
cellence of her Interpretation of the char
acter Of Anna Victoria, the deposed
Queen of Herzegovina. In this charac-
ter, it Is confidently believed that Fran
ces Nelson. who, as leading woman of
the Columbia Players. has made one of
the most distinct individual hits scored
here in years, will give even greater evil
dence OF her histrionic ability than has
been possible in any Of the parts In
which she has yet appeared AS Stephan
", King Of Bosnia Henry Mortimer,
the Columbia Players leading man. will
have a congenial role. Such Little
Queen" unfolds a romance in the very
heart of prosaic New York, where in the
atmosphere of a Harlem fiat Mr.. Pollock
has constructed a comedy as unique as
any that has ever graced the American
stage 1t concerns itself with the ad-
ventures of the Queen, who is a tempo
rary exile from her country. as is also
King Stephan, from the adjoining king
dom. The love interest Is strong, and
every member of the company will be
provided with a good part.
Consul, the Jungle Man, will continue

nary two weeks engagement. Society
