 The attraction at the Park theatre tonight will be- SstOver Night" a will liam A. Brady production, written by Philip H. Bartholomae. "Over Night is a three-act comedy, and was first produced by MT. Brady at the Hack ett Theatre, New York. where 1t had an extended run. and was then trans ferred to "The Playhouse" where it remained until well into the summer months, thereby proving itself to be one of the real successes of last sea- son in New York. It is a rather sur- prising fact that such "a young au- thor as Mr. Bartholomae Che has should win favor with this. his first effort, and this, too, a success which has been so unanimously proclaimed. The scenes of "Over Night are laid Ton Hudson River steamboat, the 'Hendrik Hudson" and in the Rip Van Winkles Inn, a small hotel located on the river not far from Poughkeep- ae, and the story deals with the mis- adventures that befall two young mar ried couples. They are on their hon eymoon trip, and just before the in hoss such 2 S manner @ that the husband of one finds himself with the other man,s wife on his hands and vice versa This is the main complica- don of MT. Bartholomae's play, but there are many others and it is said that he has constructed a farcical comedy that is uproariously funny.

 "Seven Days.''
 Any play gains by clever acting, in which respect Seven Days" will ben eft very decidedly at the Park. Sar- pany is from the Astor Theatre, New York, where at the beginning of this season the comedy reached it's third year on Broadway. The significance of the New York career of Seven Days is telling. No other comedy ! has ever been so long on Broadway, hence the natural conclusion that ..Seven Days is the biggest of all comedy hits. In Chicago, Boston, Philadelphia and other cities it holds
 the record for popular success. I,
 is not going too far to say that this
 comedy by Mary Roberts Rinehari persons laugh, and laugh longer and 1 harder, than any ever seen on the American stage. It has everything i that makes high class, merry. enter l tainment without blemish of course ness. Said Life: Fun. nothing but fun, is found in Seven Days It is comedy of clever lines and unusual ingenuity. Better than all, it is clean and gives the lie to a belief prevalent in some managerial quarters that to please the American public fun must be risky. Seven Days is laugh
 provoker almost to excess
