incredible that Clarie Archman was

There was no necessity to

the way to save David Archman was
plain, of course. II was even simple

out was another "crimc" committed

designed to display all the curves OF
Eltinge's art and to proffer his new

New songs have been provided by
Cora McGeachy, whose genius has
also been expended brilliantly in the
wardrobe, his ability as a song writer
being only equalled by her gifts as a
costumer.
The supporting company in "His
Night at the Club" is composed of
Virginia Whitman. Marjorie Bennett

Littlejohns, Gorhada and Carville,

The high spot on the program will
be taken by Eltinge who may be ex-
