 The Nightcap," which is still play ing was originally produced by Max Marcin at the 39tk Street theatre. Playing longer than it was believed 1t would. it was forced to Vacate this bouse to make way for q new piece, and took up it's New York run at the Riiou. Its authors are Guy Bolton and Max Marcin, whose names are famous all over the country, and in Europe as well. because Of the sue cess thev have produced.
 In 'The Nightcap," these writers have given their best. They have fashioned an out of the ordinary play that has all of the thrills and uneN- pected twist of '-The Bat" combined with the undeniable and rapid fire comedy of 'The Hottentot. One moment the audience grips the arms of the chairs and the next rocks back and forth in laughter.
 To tell the story of this comedy nystery-m would be to spoil the evenings entertainment. It's enough to know that some one com mitted a murder. It is only neces- sary to sit through two hours of su- Der-entertainment, during which you are continually guessing who the guilty party is and find that you are wrong, in order to get the answer.
