A Modern Eve.
"A Modern Eve' was imported by
Mr.. Mort H. Singer, from Berlin
where he witnessed a performance of
this successful operetta, while visiting
Europe a year ago. "A Modern Eve"
at that time was in its second years
run at the Neues theater. Both the
music and the book so impressed Mr..
Singer. that he began negotiations for
the American rights, which he secured
at figure that would have probably
staggered lot older of our American
musical comedy producers. That his
judgment was correct its great Chi
cagO success has fully demonstrated,
for more people have paid more mon
ey to see this attraction than ever
known in the history of musical shows
in Chicago. Some have remained
longer in smaller theaters, but none

portation has ,layed to more real
money by a good margin than any
musical attraction ever did in the city

city Christmas.

Gus Hills production of George Nc
Manus' reigning cartoon series,
Bringing Up Father" has proven to

opening date, absolute capacity bust

the Walnut Street theater, Philadel-
phia, thousands of people were actual

mission. The same thing occurred at
the Colonial theater, Baltimore, and
the Liberty theater, Philadelphia,
these facts will be substantiated by
Stair & Havlin. who book the houses
named. The entire press of Philadel-
| phia and Baltimore were unanimous
in praise of the performance. The
play is a veritable survival of the fit
test. 1t is just what theatergoers
want, hence the unprecedented pa
! tronage.
