The six-act photoplay version Of
Lottie Blair Parker's famous novel
and drama, "Under Southern Skies, .
which comes to the Isis theatre on
Monday with Mary Fuller, the Uni
versal star, in the leading role, prom
ises to enjoy as long a life as the
original play and novel
Under Southern Skies" up until
it was taken off ''the road" at the
end of the season of 1901, had
been seen by more than four million
people. During this time "Under
Southern Skies" companies gave
1924 performances. Since 1911 the
play has been released to stock COM
panies and in all 500 performances
Of the drama have been given since
that time. It is therefore safe to
say that more than six million people
have seen the play in this country
in the Legitimate" theatres.
Many of the actors who have been
connected with "Under Southern
Skies" on the speaking stage have
since become famous in the pictures
among them Henry Walthall, who
plays the leading role in "The Birth

"A Pair of sixes'' Oct. list.

The familiar significance of the
title, "a Pair of Sixes'' to American
theatre goers, as well as its quaint
ness, has made it we'll known the
country over, apart from the fact
that the farce enjoyed run of nearly
year at the Longacre Theatre, New
York, and is now being played North,
East, South and West.
The play was received by the metro
politan critics with an expression Of
praise that almost exhausted the SUI
perlatives and the hilarious farce has
made good everywhere despite this
avalanche of praise. It has made the
atre-goers expect much and they have
not been disappointed. Fer ingenuity
of plot, bright dialogue, hilarious COM
plications and most amusing situa-
tions, it has been declared the best
play of its kind ever seen on the Eng
disappearing stage. 1t is by Edward
Peple, the author of "The Littlest
Rebel" and ''The Prince Chap" and
is in three acts.
The plot deals with the affairs of
George B. Nettleton and T. Boggs
John, partners in pill manufactur-
| ing business, who are constantly at
loggerheads, each longing to be rid
of the other, but neither willing to
sell out. They summon their law
yer but decline his various PROPOSE
tions for dissolution until, in despair,
he suggests a contract with numer-
GUS conditions by which a hand of
poker is to be played, with the pei
atty that the loser shall quit the bus
mess for year and in the interval
serve as a servant in the household
of the winner. The lawyer is inter
ested personally because he hopes to
see T. Boggs John lose and with his
lips sealed by the contract he viii be

he is in love, and in whom the law

The breaking of the contract

tract rather than stick it out for 8
