CRESCENT THEATRE.

Wagenhals and Kemper's company
in the Rinehart-H aopwood comedy,
Seven Days." direct from the plays
third year in New York and with the
Broadway production, will be at the
Crescent theatre all next week COM
mencing Sunday night, September 80.
Those who like to laugh at the thea
tire, and who does not, will be repaid
many times over by Seven Days"
The Red Book Magazine said of this
comedy:
1T is one great plot of fun. 1t con-
tains every element of uncommonly
good entertainment" Ii seems super
fluous to emphasize the good qualities
of Seven Days" whose great success
and widespread fame must be known
to everybody. If anyone doesn't know
Seven Days" is the biggest and best
laughter maker on the American stage
that person is a rare exception. This
comedy ran for two entire years in
New York and lately reached third
year there For six months it shook
Chicago with gay hysteria, and in long
runs in Boston and Philadelphia it
made these cities merrier than they
had ever been before or have been
since or are likely to be again. There
has never been anything approaching
it as a mirth producer and its delight
never ceases. The oftener it is seen
the funnier it is. 1t was written by
Mary Robert Rinehart and Avery Hop
wood, who first of all created a capital
story. 1t is a real play and not the
hodge-podge of meaningless nonsense
of the general run Of plays designed
to get a laugh. AS the New Yorl
Journal says: The story is too funny
to be told and vastly funny 70 behold.

of their respective army. The Rose
Maid" was the best liked of all operas
in New York this summer and will be
presented at the Tulane the week of
October 9Th, with the same elaborate
production and extravagant detail that
made it the vogue on Broadway during
the past summer.
The Rose Maid" is one example of
the Viennese operetta without a prince
for its central feature. Ever since the
introduction of these imported musical
entertainments princes have played
the leading roles. A Viennese opera
without a prince as the hero is some
thing of a novelty, but The Rose
Maid" not only has no prince but the
princess in the cast is not the heroine
That honor is reserved for the pathetic
little rose girl who triumphs over all
the court ladies and carries off the
hero as her own sweetheart Its ro-
nance, it's music and its gay scenes all
combined to make such a charming en-
tertainment that it ran through the
entire summer on Broadway, establish
ing a new record for light opera in
New York.

will handle the comedy, while Dale
