THAT Printer of Udell's,'' that
comes to the opera house, Lancaster,
on Sept. 2, is a dramatization of
Harold Bell Wright's great novel of
that name. Possibly no book writ
ten in the past 20 years has created
the profound sensation among the self
satisfied public that Mr.. Wright's
book has done. 1t carries out the
theory that deeds, not words, count
in the work of today. In proof of
how strongly the book was appreciated
by the general public, we have only
to turn to the publishers records that
it was and still is one of the best
sellers. Appealing as it does to
every class of people, teaching a
great lesson without boring and
without cant, it is great book,
and its present dramatization under
the hands of Mr.. Wright himself and
Fishery w. Reynolds makes it a
still greater play. -
