"Honors Are Even"
At Opera House
On MAY "a

Straight from Selwyns' Park
Square Theatre, Boston, where it has
enjoyed the record run of the season,
"Honors Are Even," the brilliant COM
edy by Roi Cooper Megrue, starring
William Courtenay and Lola Fisher,
will be presented at the Opera House
on Tuesday, May oath.
There is no doubt but that the PLAY
is everything it is claimed to be by
it's advance notices. The fact that it
played sixteen weeks in Boston
proved that And the Selwyns, pro-
ducers, announce that it could have
finished the season there if they had
not decided that the time to show it
to other New England cities was
now. before any changes might be
made in cast or production. Hon
ors Are Even" goes into one of the
Selwyns' New York Theatres in Au-
gust and it is safe to say that it will
be one of the biggest and longest
enduring Broadway successes.
"Honors Are Even" is pure and de-
lightful entertainment. 1t breaches
no moral, teaches no lesson, other
than that it is pretty good old world
after all. 1t is a delicate little. play
on the quicks and foibles of human
nature as found in all of us and it is
above all delightfully."- romantic in a
modern, humorous sort of way. It
tells of the love affairs of Belinda
Carter, the fascinating, saucy daugh-
ter of millionaire steel man, who
has had things pretty much her own
way. She meets John Leighton, a
playwrighting bachelor, and from the
moment of their meeting it becomes
her ardent desire to convert him from
the ranks of bachelordom. He fights
hard and well for his freedom and in
the end it might be said that honors
are even between them. An excellent
company of a dozen players have
been provided by the Selwyns and the
stage settings are a decided novelty.
The opening presents a series of cpl
sodes or incidents, introducing the
heroine and several other characters
by means of shadowgraphs, followed
by the people themselves. The cpl
sodes are an innovation on the stage,
nothing like it ever having been done
before. Mr.. Megrue's dialogue quite
comes up to the record set by him in
''Tea for Three" and Under Cover"
''Honors Are Even" is an event not to
be missed.

Two KS, each 24-karats quality,

today. They are Buster keaton and
j. Warren Kerrigan. but they will not
appear as co-stars. Each will be
seen in vehicle of his own.
Buster Keaton has come to be rec

capable young actors on the screen,
but also as one of the most popular.

he scored a national hit and he has
followed this up with some two-reel
features in which he is the sole star.

s.Irene's" popularity in New York
has been greater than that of any
other musical play in theatrical his
tory, its authors became famous over
night.
James Montgomery, author OF the
book, has written an interesting love
story and has created in his chief
character, Irene O'Dare. a truly gold
en- girl, fairy princess in every fact.
It is a romance Of New York shop
girl, who is chosen to display the
smart gowns created by fashionable
dressmaker. While wearing raiment
Of the latest style and associating
with the smart set as one OF their
equals, she gradually becomes pol
ished and developes into lady OF
charming manners and captivates not
only the heart of the man she loves,
but the hearts of all; even those who
had scoffed at her humble origin be-
come her abject slaves. The theme
is that anyone with a fair amount of
education and ordinary common sense
can rise to the highest station in life,
if well dressed and placed in the
proper environment.
Joseph Mccarthy, to whom this
same little wage Garner appealed as
a reckoning muse, wrote the lyrics to
round two dozen catchy songs to fit
the play, and last but not least Harry
Tierney, who wrote the musical
score, and who wrote it so WELL that
now, "Alice Blue Gown" Castle of
Dreams" and "Sky. Rocket" to men,
ton only three of the big musical
numbers are being whistled and sung
to the uttermost corners of the earth.
The high standard established during
the run of Irene" in New York, will
be maintained with the result that
when this tuneful offering comes to
this city, it will be deliberately mount
ed and interpreted by a cast of rep
resentative artists and a superb
chorus of singing beauties.-Adv.
