FRECkLES

One Of the most important offer
ings of the current season at the
Orpheum theatre is the first presen-
tation here of Neil Twoney's delight
full dramatization of Gene Stratton-
Porter's charming story "Freckles,'
which is announced for Sunday, Oct.
%, matinee and night. J
The fact that there have been more
readers of this story than any other
book published in a decade-a fair
estimate is in the millions-makes
the dramatization of the utmost i'm
portance to the dramatic world.
"Freckles," as a song play is strong
er than "Freckles" as a story. The
characters live, love and have adven-
ture, n can see and hear, there is
nothing left to the imagination. The
Broadway Amusement Co., under
whose management the present tour
is conducted, has made the produc-
ton of "Freckles" exceedingly elab-
crate, and has assembled a company of
unusual excellence for the ~presenta-
ton of this charming song play.
The music for the play and the
songs rendered by Freckles and other
characters are by the Viennese COM
poser, Anatol Friedland, and are a
novelty from a musical point of view.
The Woodland Fantasy played during
the play is a masterpiece.
