nobody is surprised to learn that IL
enjoyed one Of the most phenomenal
runs OF any American play that has
been produced within the last decade.
There must be something out Of the
common In a play that is accepted
through extraordinary runs In four
communities SO large and cosmopolitan
as New York, Chicago. Boston. and
Philadelphia.
Mr.. Hodge himself. in speaking OF
the wonderful record Of THE Man
From Home" says that It's ability to
call out the nontheatergoers is one Of
the secrets OF its success, rather than
the support OF the regular theatergoers.
"It is not q question II this, play has
30 many performances In this, that. or
the other place." he says. but q ques-
ton as to why this or that particular
play should run. To take the case OF

the long runs of the average musical
play as compared with play lacking
music. A great many persons are Of the
belief that a musical comedy is more

straight plays. This In not true, ac-
cording TO my observation.

More persons attend a successful
