"Oficer 666," the play that has been
written and talked about more than any
theatrical production launched in the
amusement field in many years, will be
presented at the opera house on Thurs
day, April 3.
The piece, by Augustin MacHugh, is
full of extraordinary surprises and clean
fun that keeps its audience in con-
stantly expectant attitude and almost
continuous laughter. 1t is, in fact, a
melodramatic farce quite out of the or
binary. and furnishes more thrills and
tense moments than one can realize as
emanating from single evenings en-
tertainment.
Conan and Harris are the sponsors
for "Ofiicer 666' and this fact alone is
sufficient guarantee of its worth as an
Then. too, it is clean
play, presented by an admirable com
pany of comedians and condolences, and
il is filed to the brim with logical
tricks and swiftly moving surprises that
keep the interest of the audience at con

short, it is a charming farce. charming

Mr.. Howe is in class by himself. BY
means of that romance Of modern sci.

enraptures and enthralls the eye and
mind just as Shakespeare did by the
power OF poetry and philosophy. Mr..
