comes to the Illinois theatre Sunday
afternoon and evening. The play was
written by Campbell b Casad, former
ly reporter on the New York Herald
who constructed his plot about Incl
dents which actually took place and in
which he participated. The farcial
difficulties in which the people of the
play become involved are laughable
TO the extreme and the play moves on
with a rapidity that delights the play
goer. OF course the attempts to evade
their wives and sweethearts are un-
successful and the play reaches its
highest farce in the endeavors OF the
erring men to explain their situation.
Plenty of songs. a chorus and pleas
ing musical numbers are interpolated
during the action of the play.
Much comment has been raised since
the Illinois theatre announced the sp-
pearance of Evelyn Nesbit Thaw and
her son Russell William Thaw in the

the vaudeville stage it was her original
intention 20 promote a motion picture
company OF her own nd star in her

company made her such an extraordi-
nary offer that she reconsidered and
joined their forces and Threads of
