Within the Law

Within the Law is the real under world play of today wrote Police Com missioner George s. Dougherty to Bay ard Veiller author of the tremendous ly successful me1odrama which comes to the Davis theatre on Friday even ing, Nov. 2S, and which has had the almost unprecedented record of a 12 months run in New York city, and in one theatre-the Eltinge. Before writ ing this play Mir. Veiller was practi- cally unknown. The day after it's pro- duction he received so many offers of contracts to write plays that he was forced to flee out of town to keep from signing away enough of his time to cover the remainder of his natural life This is what inevitably happens to the dramatist who writes a big success. But only a few playwrights achieve such 8 hit as Within the Law during a century of dramatic writing Ben Hur and Uncle Tom's Cabin are per haps the two nearest modern instances of hits approaching that of the Veiller play-both in the matter of interest created and money earned. Prices, 25 cents to $1.50. Seats now selling.
