"sEvEN DAYS LEAVE At THE PLAYHOUSE
Thoroughly Americanized for presenta-
tion in this country, Walter Howard 9
famous melodrama Seven Days Leave
comes to The Playhouse this evening for a
four-day engagement This melodrama
ran nearly two years at Sir Henry Irving s
Lyceum Theatre, London, England, and
is being simultaneously played in Austria
lia, South Africa and Canada, while the
company presenting it here rs practically
the same as appeared IN IT Tor over 70
weeks at the Park Theatre, New York.
The story of the play concerns principally
rollicking young major, back in London
on leave OF absence, with buoyancy and
heart enough to fall in love with n certain
young woman who ardently welcomes his
wooing But Cupid has hardly opened bis
eyes To the affair when enters again sinis-
terly, the clutch of conflict whose roars
can still be heard and from romance the
play instantly stiffens 10 the tense thrill OF
danger for both the boy and his fiancee.
Many Of the phases Of life in London as IT
is st present, and as it was during the
duration of the war are brought out in the
further development of the gripping
story. A cast Of favorites presents the
piece here tonight and the American
Legion is giving benefits for tonight and
tomorrow.
