POII'S MAJESTIC.

POII's MAJESTIC. No more dramatic moment has been devised for the American stage 1 than that in which the reformed criminal, 'sllDpy McGee." demands of the parish priest his hidden bur- more crack a, safe. That Is one of
 the biggest situations that arise In "Slippy Melee" which is the super
 e sna at es ths a msjezt50 4ba al. this
 grudging praise of the hundreds who have seen it.
 But, coming down to brass tacks, it | isn't because ''slipDy' wants to ge. back to his former sinful ways. Not at all. "Slippy'. as you will find out, has been too badly injured in train wreck to become a crook again, and then there are other reasons why he wants to go straight. One of these reasons is because the | parish priest has labored to bring about his regen eration, and the other
 reason is the most charming girl in | the ex-burglar finds himself after the accident-Mary Virginia, the part
 played by Miss Nila Mac.
 | But ''Sliopy'' demands his burg1ar's
 kit-hidden in the statute of St. | Sta tanislaus in Father De Rances' | And what is more, the priest lets him | have it, because "S1ippy' intends to 1 crack a safe once more. but this time
 
 I happiest of all fates-
 l Just this one gripping, red-b1ooded | situation is enough to give you a 1 good line on this play and it's also
 sufficient indication why 'Slippy Mo | Gee" has been voted by Brid geport l playgoers as one of the best attrac- | ttons ever seen in stock or anywhere | else.
 | Arthur Chatterdon is immense as | the ex-burglar. and much praise also
 should be bestowed upon that won
 derful character actor. Edmund Alp | bey, for his superb interpretation of | the role of the parish priest. PoII RALACE
