Seven Hours in New York.

People nowadays are too busy to
read long drawn out descriptions of
amusement, coming or going. If the
attraction offered seems to hit the
popular fancy, the chances are that a
big house will result. Just now, a
new musical plan called Seven Hours
in New York" appears to be sailing
along on the top wave of prosperity,
and leaving a most enviable record
The title seems to hit the bulls eye
right from the start. "Seven Hours
in New York" suggests lot OF hap
penings, and the theatergoer is con-
vinced that something amusign is
sure to result anyhow. 1t is a large
company, requiring a 60-foot bag
gage car to transport the scenery and
electrical effects. Atsthe Stone thea
ter Monday, March 81, matinee and

isis Hopkins"

Rose Meuville's production of isis
Hopkins, which is announced for ap-
pearance at the Stone theater on
Friday, March %, matinee and night,
under the management of William d.
Fitzgerald, provides an entertainment
more complete and satisfying than
perhaps any other native comedy
drama ever presented. To begin with
it is American, through and through.
It's story is simple, its types are as
familiar as the people one meets ev-
cry day; and in it's action there is no
strainign after effects, no sensational
lism, nothing to shock the taste Of
anyone, nothing but good. pure COM
edy from beginning to end. 1t is in
this straightforward amusement
merit that its phenomenal success
rests. Those who enjoy it once, in
variably go to see it again and again
for it is a play that seems never to
tire one, never to lose it's sparkle.
