What Happened to Mary.

bright new offering that has Sc
cured the unanimous endorsement of
New York is being toured this sea-
son with great success and bids fair
to duplicate its welcome when it is
produced at the Auditorium tonight.
II is called What Happened to Mary
and it is claimed that for downright
good entertainment it is in class by
itself
The popularity of the Mary stories
appearing in The Ladies' World have
been so manifest that Owen Davis, the
celebrated author, was induced to
write them into play which resulted
in a success far beyond anticipation
and wherever produced the same
measure of interest is shown.
The story of Mary s happenings arc
unique and reveal dramatic incident
lin plenty that carries the delighted
auditor spellbound throughout the
play. There is smile for every sigf
! IA laugh for every tear. Sentiment
without gloom, heart throbs which are
genuine. characters who are true anC
/ life pictured as we all know it. VIVA
Happened to Mary is one Of the rea
shows and to miss it would cause man,
regrets.
