LAUGH PRODUCING FARCE
HAS NATION WIDE fame
Sup In Mabcl's Room" Here on Wed.
nesday Evening Is Farce Comedy
Which Has Made World Laugh.

SO many things happen "Up In Ma
bells Room" and so many people went
there to see what happened, that there
is probably hardly playgoer in the
United States who is not eagerly
awaiting the appearance of this cele-
brated farce, which scored so great a
success in New York last season.
There is, therefore, much anticipation
of the forthcoming production of "Up
In Mabel's Room" at the Washington
Theater on Wednesday for an engage
ment of one day only under the direc-
tion of A H. Woods. Mr.. Woods, prob
ably the most successful of theatrical
managers, is specially noted for his
genius in selecting the kind of farce
that the American public loves, and he
has never made a more astute choice
than "Up In Mabels Room"
The play is in three acts and the
work of Wilson Collision and Otto Har-
bach. The action takes place in a
country home on Long Island.
The plot of the play may be briefly
described as a pursuit of trouble
some lady's garment that threatened
to disrupt the married life of young
benedict and his wife. The play
abounds in screamingly funny situa
| tions, in ingenious entanglements anC
brilliant lines. 1t is superbly acted
and splendidly produced Feminine
playgoers will find it perfect revela
ton of the very latest in gowns. IA

The guards brought machine gun
and other weapons, They were sent

enough to make their presence neces-
sary. The soldiers will remain until
conditions return to normal.

had been ordered here to protect the
law-abiding citizens of the town and
county and to safeguard property
against a band of Night Riders. who.
it has been reported, were planning a
second visit to carry out certain

scerving summons of persons before
the grand jury

to stop the sale of tobacco during the

the hands of farmers, and the major
ity of farmers decline to offer their
tobacco for sale at auction at the pres
ent prices.
A few, however, continue to offer
their crops at the declining. prices
Thirty loads we're sold today at the
chute, its reconstruction being almost
complete.
