AT THE ILLINOIS.

That a treat is in store for local the
atregoers tonight when Henry B. Har-
ris presents THE Country Boy at the
Illinois is evidenced from the fact that
this play of city life by Edgar Selwyn
enjoyed five months run at the Lib
erty theatre, New York, and two
months at Powers theatre, Chicago.
The company that will be seen here, it
is promised, is the same that made the
metropolitan engagement so success
full, and is up to the usual standard of
excellence maintained by Henry B.
Harris in all of his productions. THE
Country Boy is unfolded in four acts,
two of the scenes being laid in the
small village of Fairview, n. Y, while
the other two show the dining room
and parlor respectively of a theatrical
boarding house in New York city. The
story has to do with the adventures of
boy from the small town who goes
to the city for the purpose of carving
his fortune. 1t affords a picture of the
struggle of such a lad when he comes
in contact with the ways of great
city, and in itself points moral with
great force. There is much comedy
and humorous sentiment in the play
and the audience is kept in happy
frame of mind from the time the cur
tain rises until it falls in the last act
The cast includes Alfred Cooper
Frank Mccormack, Doan Borup
Frank E. Jamison, George Schaeffer
Olive Templeton, Elda Furry, Char

1t was George w. Lederer during his
New York Casino regime, who gave
musical farces or musical comedy
most of the wrinkles that made the
| feminine choruses of the Lederer
shows distinctive from the vocal femi-
nine auxiliaries of the average Broad
way musical production contemporane-
GUS with his pieces. 1t was Lederer
who first introduced a whistling num-
Der, piped by choristers, and also it
was he who changed the fashions in
popular chorus deities from just plain
chorus girls to "show girls and
from these to girls in long skirts, and
likewise, it was Lederer who first
gave the country a dancing octette
of girls labelled ponies in his
production in the New York theatre

time, and brunette at another, ant

From the milk wagon to the peer
age" might have easily been selected
by George Bronson-Howard as the
title of mis- new farce comedy which
has raised Frank Mcintyre of Travel
ing Salesman fame to the rank OF
star and has scored a success at the
Hudson theatre, New York. Henry B
Harris will present Mr.. Mcintyre in
"Snobs" at the Illinois next Sunday
matinee and night. In "Snobs" Mr.
Mcintyre has been given the role oil
Henry Disney, the driver of a milh
wagon who all of a sudden is precipi
tated into the English peerage by q
strange chain of circumstances. o.
course this necessitates his taking VI
position in the social world and he
does this just as you might imagine
milkman would. Needless to sal
Mr.. Mcintyre is screamingly funny il
this role which gives him the great
est opportunity and he has clearl!
shown his right to the stellar position
he now occupies. He is supported b!
a splendid acting company, including
Myrtle Tannehill, Marie Fitzgerald
Eva Mcdonald, Katharine Stewart
Roy Fairchild, Orlando DAILY, Johl
