reason that the management of the
Garrick Players secured it as their
next weeks attraction.
The largest royalty ever paid for
a play will be paid by the Garrick-
ers. but judging from the interest
already expressed in this produc-
ton, it will be worth it, Its appeal
to children is another reason for
its tremendous success and the
Washington kiddies who saw it in
the films are all clamoring to get
seats.
Another surprise of the Garrick
Players is their announcement that
in a few weeks they will OFFER a
musical comedy, The Only Girl"
This beautiful production. aided by
a most tuneful musical score from
the pen of Victor Herbert. has been
one of the most successful musical
productions of the past ten years.

restricted territory only. Johnny Get
Your Gum has been released for
stock production and the management
of the Garrick Players has been
among the first of the applicants in
this country for a weeks production.
1t is seldom that a play of this i'm
portance is released so quickly and
local theater-goers are fortunate in
being able to see 1t at the Shubert-
Garrick prices. and with a production
as worthy as will be given.
In the principal role of Johnny"
Earle Foxe will have an opportunity
for funmaking that is unique. In
character typicauy Western, breezy
and free, Johnny" predominates
every scene in which he takes part
and with Lynne Overman in the part
of fortune hunting nobleman of the
foppish type there are many happy
hours in store for the followers of this
