Not in many seasons has there
been co much advance interest in anv
theatrical presentation as for the
appearance here OF Guy Bates Post
In Omar. the Tentmaker," which
comes to the oliver theater for two
days commencing tomorrow evening,
with a matinee on Saturday
Mr.. Tully is also the author of two

throughout an entire season in Nev
York. Mr.. Tully has eclipsed all his
previous endeavors, and omar, the
Tentmaker" is far and away the
greatest romantic success that our
stage ghas seen in several seasons.
In the title role Mr.. Post has won
for himself more conspicuous lau-
rels than have ever before befallen
TO him during his career, and his in
depreciation of the beloved Persian
poet, Omar Ehayyam. is unouestion-
ably the finest romantic impersona-
ton since the passing Of the late
Richard Mansfield.
Mr.. Tully has based his play upon
the life. times and Rubaiyat of Omar
Khayyam, the beloved Persian poet
OF the eleventh century, whose en-
chanting quatrains. as translated in
to English verse by Edward Fitz-
Gerald. are affectiOnately known
wherever the English language is
spoken. Especial emphasis was laid
by Mr.. Tully upon the engrossins
love-life of Omar. and the play con-
tains some of the most attractive
love-scenes witnessed in a number Of
seasons. Briefly, the play relates how
the young and impulsive Omar. sing
