The Messrs. Shubert will present
the new Winter Garden revue, 1.-THE
Passing Show" for the first time al
the Majestic Theatre, Thursday
night, Nov. 9th. 1t is promised that
this Winter Garden Revue, despite
the high cost of production, is the
most elaborate in point of scenery
and costume of any Winter Garden
entertainment produced to date,
The Passing Show differs from
most extravaganZas in that they are
made up in large part on topical
conditions of the time, as well as ira
v~esties on the more important hits
of the year.

but just and honest. who objects to
his sons courtship with a pretty
maiden who plotted to beat the FAM
lily out of their rich coal lands. She
really falls in love with him and
marries.
When the romance of married lie
gives way TO the stern facts of real
ity she longed for her old, free life,
and the tempter comes in the person
of a smooth tongued ex-convict who
induces her to flee with him. the
aged father attempts to stop the
elopement and is killed. The son,
blamed for the murder. believes his
wife was the slayer and refuses to
offer any defense. He is sentenced to
prison for life.
In the working out of the plot to a
logical conclusion the director. King
Baggot, has shown a fine sense of the
dramatic. The picture is artistically
photographed and splendidly acted
in roles which require dramatic abil-
ity of the first order.
