Tonight the Myrkfe- Harder company will offer a repetition of their excel lent performance of the fate Sol Smith RUsseI's great starring success, A BAohelor's Romance, beautiful play that will live when others have been forgotten-a play that has stirred the hearts of millions. This remarkable drama seems to embrace the entire scaas of emotions. There are intense dramatic moments to thrill the heart, moments of quaint unusual humor to provoke laughter, moments of deep pathos to bring tears to the eyes. A simple love story, prettiIy told, is sur rounded by a fabric of complex dram alto situations. which the author has defty and cleverly untangled, employ ing every method of his craft in doing so. The characters are out as finely as camsos. and are so imbued with the clements of humanity that at times they seem to step out of their mimic world and live and move amid the realities of life. The company will play matinee this afternoon, They will produce The Dollar Mark
