"ON TRIAL.
son Trial" which will be presented by
Cohan q Harris at The Playhouse for
an engagement oi two nights and a
special Saturday matinee commencing
Friday. isn't built like the usual plays
IL is more ON the lines of a moving pie
ture scenario Really large share OF
its success is the mechanical ingenuity
displayed in its scenic construction and
the activity OF the stage mechanics who
"strike' and "set' scenes in the twink
ling of an eve.
The story of con Trial has TO do
with a murder and circumstantal evi-
dence; a husband is ON trial for his life,
the last Juror has been sworn and the
district attorney IL stating the case.
The defendants lawyer follows the dis
trict attorney and the first witness IS
called. The wife of the murdered man
takes tho stand and begins to tell of n
telephone call that preceded the muir
der of her husband. As she says "the
telephone bell rang" the lights 20 out.
You hear telephone hell ringing. You
scarcely have time 10 count sixty when
up flash the lights and YOU are blinking
vour eyes at the completely furnished
library of a luxurious home. What the
witness is testifying you see enacted be-
fore your eyes. Tho rest of the play
moves by exactly the same method, and
nlwavs YOU arc brought back 10 tho
court room, where the inal sccno takes

sweet songsters pour forth their mad
rigals.
The whole entertainment showed
thought, care and time. The boys
were greatly interested and furnished
all of the flowers, birds and other dec
