able portrayal or the little group OF
men and women, who found but two
choices left open in Between Savage
and Tiger" There is the military of
India, new to the pictures. These
remarkable men who fight the fevers,
plaques, beasts and savages of the
jungle and there is also a live story
wound so carefully that one is amaz-
ed as we'll as pleased with the fiction
al value of the story as well as its
educational influence. "Brewster's

PATIENCE SUCCESS ASSURED.
The demand for advance tickets
for Patience" surpassed the most
optimistic predictions of the officers
of the DUPONT Puff and Powder Club.
This morning the exchange Of re-
served seats for members coupons
started and by $50 a line ran all the
way from the Playhouse box office TO
Tenth street. Tomorrow morning
the exchange of advance tickets for
reserved seats begins. Wednesday
morning seats will be on sale 10 the
public at the box office. The man
agement of the club carefully con-
sidered the problem Of handling the
sale of seats, and is being congratu-
lated on the efficiency OF the plan
adopted. The members Of the club
are entitled TO first choice, as II Is
essentially a private club operated
for the education and entertainment
Of its members. Previous perform
ances have not been open to the pub
lie at all, but the demand has been
so great the directors finally yielded
to it, and engaged the Playhouse for
three performances, TO provide suf-
ficient seating capacity, and il is be-
lieved there will be enough for all.
The plan of selling advance tickets
through members, was adopted to
provide for friends OF the members.
Hence holders of these tickets have
the choice of all seats not taken by
members, and in advance of the gem
eral public. Any money taken in in
excess to the large expense of pro-
duction will be put in the treasury to
help finance the next production, but
the reason why the prices Of tickets
are less than half the usual charge is
that no effort is made to show a pro-
fit and no member Of tile cast is paid
FOUR CHARACTERS
IN "AMBITION.T
The artists who impersonate the
four characters in Ashley Miller's
newest play, Ambition" (there are
only four characters in the entire
play) were not only engaged for their
illness to act the parts they are cast
Tor and their adaptability as repre-
senting the exact type for these parts,
but also for the reason that each
must be a musician Of the highest
ability. One is an American, one an
Anglo-American, one Londoner. and
one from Dublin, ireland. Mr.. Maude

but one play, "The Philanderer. -

The hearty welcome accorded the re-

of Penzance," and "Pinafore." during
their recent engagement in New York
by the all-star company which will be
seen in this city at The Playhouse on

cant and indicative that there still cx-
lists a desire and keen appreciation for
