| of the kind on the stage day, and il
more than made good that reputation
The little play is built on wholly origi
nal lines, it sparkles with wit and humol
of the brightest sort and best of all il
was presented by cast which measures
up TO the best that can be seen anywhere
First of all it is a comedy which has
been made funny without the introduc.
ton of the eternal triangle No ones
wife gets mixed up with anyone else's
husband, and no husband is made ieal.
GUS on account of his wife's relations
with some other man. This is so start
lingly original as to be almost revolu-
tionary, but if it is revolutionary. it is
certainly refreshingly so.
A young woman. Annabelle Leigh. has
a husband somewhere whom she has seen
but once, but who sees that she is pro-
vided with all the money she needs. An
nabelle has in her possession two shares
of stock which are valuable. as they are
needed to give the control OF a valuable
property to two rival owners. She hypoth-
coates the stock to fill her emptied
purse, and the play tells how she regains
control of it, In the course of her adj
ventures, she finds her husband, who is
not as bad as she thought he was, and
all ends happily. j.,
Annabelle ia a decidedly original young
woman. and she is as charming as she is
original. 1t was played by Miss Riser,
who is skilled actress as well as real
beauty and she proved one of the most
delightful stage character we have seen
in long time.
Her perfect sangfroid, the ease with
which she met the difficult situations IN
which she was placed and her fascinating
ways with the opposite sex when it was
for her interest to be fascinating. all
marked her as an actress of the first
rank ard afforded her audience as enjoy
able and satisfactory a few hours as
they ever put in, in theatre.-adv.

THOMPSON WORST MAYOR" IS
CHARGE MADE BY HOYNE
Mayor Thompson is the worst
mayor Chicago ever had, according
to States Atty HOyne. The prose-
cutor turned his guns on the City
Hall machine. in a speech delivered
at Forum hall in the interests Of Geo.
f. Tiff, Democratic candidate for
alderman of Sd ward.
"The Republican candidate in this
ward confesses," said HOyne, cal
though he does not boast of, a con-
nection with the Thompson machine.
This in itself is a sufficient reason
for his reputation by the people
They can expect nothing from any
man who owes allegiance to the
worst city administration Chicago
has ever seen.
There is only one issue in this
campaign and that is Thompsonism.
Chicago has learned with regret
what that means. It means the ex-
pIoitation of the city for selfish ends,
the decentralization and corruption of
the police department, the waste of
the city's money, bankruptcy, dirty
streets, poor transportation service,
