LAUGHTER Adde's
WITH II SISTERS"
Margery Doom, Evening Stars
Heart Philosopher, Again
Scores at Shubert's.

..rhe Seven Sisters an excellent
comedy in three acts. In which Una Abel
Brinker and her stock players appeared
for the first time at the Shubert Theatre
last night, serves as an excellent We
hicle for bringing out the full dramatic
strength of the company.
The play, an adaptation from the Hun
garian, by Edith Ellis, from a transla-
ton of Ferike Boros, is particularly well
suited to those who enjoy the humorous
in stage productions, being brimful of
good comedy of a wholesome nature, and
replete with humorous situations that are
cleverly worked out. It is perhaps one of
the best productions presented by Mrs.
Brinker and her talented assistants since
they began their engagement in this city,
and one that should appeal alike to all
Glasses.
The appreciation with which Mrs.
Brinker was received by a good-sized
audience at last nights performance
showed that, if anything, she added to
her already wild popularity by her
clever portrayal of Mici, the fourth
sister, who takes 1t upon herself to pro-
vide eligible husbands for her older
sisters, so that she might be In a posi-
tIon to receive the attentions of a young
lieutenant whom she met while attend
ing school,.
The character fits Mrs. Brinker to a
nicely, and she brings to the part a
-.ua AL ~ raf~arcad pntnfv that Ia
very pleasing to an audience. Louis
Leon Hall, as the young lieutenant, car
ries himself with a reckless abandon
that prompts applause. He is given every
opportunity to display of his talents.
Miss Margery Doom. who gained u
wide popularity by her articles in the
Heart and Home columns of the Eve
ming Star, made her second appearance
as a member of the company, as "Sari,'
the second daughter, and carried herself
In a manner that was pleasing to her
many friends In the audience.
Though cast for q part that is not
quite as prominent as the n she en-
loved In her initial bow In Green
Stockings Miss Doom. took advantage
of her every opportunity. So SUGGEST
full was she that she will remain as n
member of the cast during Mrs. Brink
er's stay In this city.
The play deals with life near a military
garrison town in Hungary and the trou-
bles which beset a young officer who has
fallen in love with one of the seven Sis
tiers, and the fourth from the eldest at
that, Custom emands that none of the
younger sisters can marry while the older
ones are single. The three older sisters
are finally married off successfully, but
not before the audience has been treated
to numerous side-splitting situations and
complications that seem almost impossi-
BILE for one to surmount. 1t is we'll worth
seeing.
All of the members of the company
are seen to advantage in the presenta-
ton of the piece, and especially note
worthy are the performances OF Anna
Laying, as the older sister, and Frank
Hersome, as her husband.
1t was the original intention of the
management to present Helen Wares
most successful hit, "rhe Deserters,"
during next week, but finding that local
audiences find more pleasure In comedy
hits, the bill has been changed. THE
Marriage of Kitty" another sparkling
comedy hit, will be presented instead,
