"The Soldier Who Came Back"

The late Clyde Fitch one night at a
beefsteak dinner in the Green Room
club in New York, said, when the sub
ject of play themes came up for dis
cussion, THE best idea for a drama
is to work out story that is ARREST
with the tines Continuing, the late
we'll known author said to Elmer
Walters who is responsible for the
manuscript of THE Soldier Who
Came Back" which comes to the
Opera House Thursday night, Octo-
Der 10th, and who was an interested
listener, this will reduce the usual
hazardous theatrical gamble to a
minimum"
There is no gainsaying that THE
Soldier Who Came Back is a timely
play. The story, no doubt, owes much
of it's cover hight" success to this
fact, but timely or untimely, audi
ences do not enthuse without having
just cause. The cause seems appar-
ent in this play for it is meeting with
success.

"BRINGING UP FATHER AT HOME

Merry, meritorious and mirthful
may well be applied to the latest of
the Bringing Up Father" series of
cartoon plays. 1t is called Bringing
Up Father at Home" and will be the
next attraction at the Opera House
on Friday, matinee and night, October
II. Those who have seen and enjoy
ed the other editions of the popular
and side-splitting comics will no
doubt endorse this one as the best of
the entire crop. Gus Hill, who took
Father out of the pages of the
newspaper and made him the most
talked about celebrity in the world
has invested the production with that
intelligent and lavish attention to de-
tail which has characterized all of
his enterprises and earned for him
the reputation as one of the shrewd-
est and most original purveyors of
modern amusement now before the
public. While clingiig to the set
style of entertainment which has
marked all of the Father" pieces
in the past, announcement is made
that the fun that occurs from this
particular cOncoction is on entirely
new lines. An elaborate scenic in
vestiture, new ideas, innovations,
jingling songs, tuneful melodies and
competent cast are assured. The
company besides a chorus of twenty
five of the most beautiful women vo-
calists and dancers also includes Wal
ter Veron and Louise Earle, essaying
the roles of ''Father" and Mother"
The Offering is in three acts and
from all accounts is easily the laugh
ing hit of the current season.
