IA PAIR OF sIXRs.v

Edward Peple. the author Of "A
Pair Of Skies" who now enjoys the
distinction Of having written one OF
the biggest farce hits of the century
has other successful plays to his
credit, among which might be mem
toned that charming comedy, The
Prince Chap" and the sterling melo-
drama, "The Littlest Rebel "A
Pair OF Skies" is as thoroughly
American in topic and treatment as IL
Is in title. The story is most in
genious in its basis and development
and a factor greatly to its credit is
that il is good, clean, wholesome fun,
the kind Of humor that men can dis
cuss freely, not only with their own
women folks, but with the women
folks of others. "A Pair Of Skies"
sounds like a very small hand, but II
take a mighty good combination to
beat II. This Is doubtless partly ac-
counted for by the fact that there is
an addition to the pair. a queen Of
hearts, in the play, which is sufficient
intimation that the play is not only
funny but has strong love interest
The play will be presented in this
city at The Playhouse Wednesday af-
ternoon and night.
