HENRIETTA CROSMAN WILL. BE SEEN
AT THE ORPHEUM ON FRIDAY, SEPT, 81

Henrietta Crosman and her splen-
did supporting company in Erst-
while Susan, will be seen at the
Orpheum on Sept 81.
1t is safe to say that never before
has Miss Crosman delighted her
admirers more thoroughly than by
her impersonation of Juliet Miller,
the elocutionist from Iowa, in the
quaint and humorous comedy of
Pennsylvania Dutch life in which
she is now appearing. -
Erstwhile Susan is a play of vari-
Gus angles of appeal to- audiences.
To those who enjoy humorous situa-
tions it is a broad and most laugh
able comedy; to others, interested in
character drawing and the technique
Of acting, it is most interesting as a
study; and to people of more
philosophical mind it reveals mes
sage quite as uplifting to the spirit
as is to be- found. in a muRh more
serious play. Technically the role of
Juliet Miller is one of the most diff
cult that Miss Crosman has ever
essayed, since its successful interpre-
tation necessitates a sustained emo
tional purpose through scenes Of the
most whimsical comedy.
Joseph Ritter, Miss Crosman's pres
ent manager, has surrounded the
star with an organization of players
of the first rank. The play is mount
ed with the greatest care and artis-
tic taste. The interior Shown is an
exact replica of the living room in
a house near Allentown, Pennsyl-
vania, and practically all the furni-
ture was bought at farmhouses in
the Dutch sections of Pennsylvania.

ment

your district board, which has the

poses. In other words, you will send
only 80 per cent of the IS per cent

You will be notified tomorrow the
exact number of men which you will |
send and the exact date upon which |
these men will be sent to Des Moines. |
