widespread attention or received
more warm praise than Marian dc

will again see at the Shubert Thea

Little Women" hit the town hard
and captured all hearts on the &C.

and no wonder for 1t made one OF
the biggest and cleanest hits re-
corded in the history Of local theat-

Little Women" Is play for the
masses, for everybody, old and
young rich and poor. 1t is a de-
light because 1t Is a page OF fresh
bubbling human nature. Its fresh
ness. purity and real and genuine
worth commend it to all. The sue
cession of crowded houses which
have attended the production OF the
play since Its Initial performance
and the way the press and public
have received it, emphasize unmis-

that it is a transcript from real life.

NEWARK

The Newark Theatre has booked an
exceptional attraction for next week
THE Dummy fresh from its long
run at the Hudson Theatre, New
York, where it opened last season to
instantaneous success, and has been
playing to enthusiastic audiences ever
since.
1.-THE Dummy will be presented
here by the same superb company
which has been furnishing some OF
the best acting to be found In the en-
tire range of New York plays, includ-
ing Ernest Truck, Edward Ellis, Jane
OakeF, Joseph Brennan, ii. A. La
Motto, John N. Wheeler, John Win
shrop, Gus Forbes, Edith Shayne,
Frank Conner, Nicholas Judels and
little Joyce Fair.
Rumors of the novelty and differ
ence" of THE Dummy have been
sioating this way ever since the
famous detective comedy made its big
and instantaneous hit with the New
York public on Its opening night last
season. Laughter, heart-throb, ex-
citement and mystery, keep things
moving through four breathless acts.
The exploits of Barney, the boy
detective and Babbing, the invinct-
BILE sleuth. in the solution of the Mer-
edith kidnapping case, are only
equalled in interest and appeal by the
ingratiating' crooks and the winsome
little girl in The DANNY"
THE Dummy was written by the
authors of 1.-THE Argyle Case" Har-
vey O'Higgins and Harriet Ford. 1t
was founded on the Detective Bar
ney" stories of Mr.. O'Higgins, origin
ally published in Golfers, which
chronicied the real exploits Of a real
boy detective. Hence the intimate
hold this young Mick Carter" of
1.-THE Dummy has secured on audi
ences, as a piece of reality and low
able study of universal boyhood, put
up in one of the most exciting and
Joyous comedies of recent New York
seasons.
