The transcontinental trip Of Mr.. Dit

Amy Leslie, the erudite critic Of the Chi
cago Daily News, as "the best actor In
the country, will take him to many cities
which he has not visited since his tri-

fame Of mr.. Ditrichstein and THE Great
Lover has long preceded him and for
years theater goers have been anxious
to see the artist in this brilliant play.

in New York, Chicago, Philadelphia,
Boston and other large cities has been
such as to confne his seasons to them
almost exclusively in recent years, and
