PLAYHOUSE OPENS SEASON;
In THEATRES And PARKS

Miserable weather which prevailed
on Saturday night had no effect on the
audience that greeted when Dreams
Come True" at the opening Of The
Playhouse for the season. The thea
tre was filled and those who attended
had the pleasure OF seeing an excel
lent musical comedy in the hands Of
capable players. The attraction was
thoroughly appreciated. and 1t de-
served to be, for it is different from
any musical comedy presented IN TINS
city in a long time.
There was a wealth of pretty cos
tunes, excellent scenery and pretty
music and when this was topped on
by an excellent company It left moth
ing to be desired. William Pruette,
Jr., has the leading part OF kean
Hedges and proved himself capable
and entertaining, and his work LETT
nothing to be desired. Edna Temple
was Beth, dream girl of Hedges, and
proved a charming young woman, who
can sing and dance Miss Estelle New
ton was equally clever as Margaret
Smith Miss Gertrude Fayot as Mrs.
Hopkins David-Story also added con-
sidcrably to the pleasure OF the even
ing by her work. Miss Connie Mack
and James H. Crowly added greatly
TO the comedy and are about as clever
pair as have been seen here in a
long time. The whole company was
far above the ordinary standard and
the management of The Playhouse is
being congratulated on its opening at
traction.

AT THE MAJESTIC

At the Majestic Theatre today the
feature offering will be "The Scarlet
SIM" featuring Herbert. Bosworth. Il
is this kind of production that scores
instantaneous success before any class
of audience II contains tremendous
appeal as a result of its red -blooded
story, which shows minister fighting
against monstrous odds both in his
family and amongst his diocese. a hand
and crude collection of miners. The
support furnished Mr. Bosworth is es-
pecially fine. Jane Novak, as his wife,
plays exceedingly we'll, while his ward IS
taken by Grace Thomson. Frank FL
lott is the lover, while the remainder OF
the roles are handled with care. From
the time the minister commences his
unequal fight with the ruiiians of the
mining town, continuing, even though his
wife deserts him, until at last he re-
stores peace to the town and happiness
to his home, no witness of the picture
win be at all disinterested. The writer.
Olga Printer Clark, has well brought

'POTASH AND PERLMUTTER."
Ever since Montague Glass wrote
the first Potash and Perlmutter"
story there developed a strong desire
TO see Abe and Morris on the stage.
The two partners had become inter-
national favorites when Manager A.

sons ago at the Cohan Theatre, New
York City and their reception was an
ovation. Potash and Perlmutter"
broke all records for runs and for re-

theatregoers of the rest of the country,
determined TO break the apparently
endless engagement This most de-

shabby downtown-oifice and workroom
OF the firm, then in their handsome
Fifth avenue establishment, and, fl
nally in the home of Abe Potash No
play has ever been put on the stage
with greater attention to detail. For
