CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE.
1.-THE Man of the Hour will be the
next attraction at the Chestnut street
theatre, Philadelphia. Next week when
the Orpheum Players present this sterling
play of love and politics it will be another
innovation in the long list of accom-
plishments this popular organization of
players have achieved this present season.
THE Man of the Hour" is truly a much
talked-of play, and one that has pleased
millions of people. 1t is one of the few
plays with such inherent dramatic strength
and absorbing interest that it submerges
the identity of the player. Usually one
play-goer has said to another, ''have YOU
seen SO and so in such and such a play2''
But when the Broadhurst success is dis
cussed 1t is "have you seen The Man of
the hour Never was there more con-
vlncing proof of the fact that the PLAYS
the thing. In "The Man of the Hour
George Broadhurst has mixed love and
politics in delightful manner. Taking
the theme of graft in municipal politics
he has made the play timely, and has
shown the old, old conflict between love
and duty under new and interesting con-
ditions. There is good deal of a hurrah
spirit about the play and good form is
often sacrificed for humorous effect. but
seen in an appreciative spirit it shows in
an entertaining way that true success con-
sists in doing right at any cost. While
Mr. Broadhurst takes for his central theme
the political situation as it exists in nearly
every city in the country where there are
politics and graft he has also
woven into it what is said to be delight
full love story.

ing offered at the Walnut street theatre.
