The most elaborate production an

twelve months is that for next week.
when "On Trial" will be presented ex-

prices three weeks ago.
"On Trial" is the sensation of both
this season and last. 1t ran for an
entire year at the Gambler Theater.
New York. and has been attracting Ca
pacity audiences in the high-pries
theaters this season.
The play tells a gripping story in a
most unusual way, combining the ef-
fectiveness OF ordinary melodrama with
the thrills and novelty of a moving
picture scenario. The story begins in
a courtroom, where a man is on trial
for murder, and as the various wit
nesses begin to tell their story of the
crime the scene flashes back, and what
they describe is enacted before the
eyes of the audience.
The presentation necessitates the
doubling of the entire stage crew OF
the stock playhouse.
