sOTHERN MARLOWE IN
CLASSIC ROLES At MURAT.


E. Il. Sothern and Julia Marlowe have
been absent from the stage the past
two years They mare a trlumphal re
entry in New York City last fan. When
one things of what the seasons have
been without the accustomed visit Of
these distinguished players, one is not
surprised that playgOers elsewhere have
welcomed their return with cheers and
packed houses.
Mr.. Sothern and Miss Marlowe viii be
seen at Murat for three nights only
beginning Monday night. There viii be
no matinee 1.-The Merchant Of Venice
will be played on Monday night, Ham
LETT on Tuesday night and THE Tanning
Of the Shrew" on Wednesday night
Playgoers are urged to note that the
curtain rises at eight o'clock sharp each
night. Late-comers will not be seated
during the action of the plays. This
rule is rigidly enforced, both for the
comfort Of those who have done the
players the courtesy of arriving at the
theater at the proper time and Of the
actors on the stage, whose work is seri-
ously injured by the seating Of persons
after the play has begun.
A striking feature Of the productions
presented by Mr.. Sothern and Miss Mar
lowe this season is, that abandoning the
realistic scenery which has hitherto
framed their repertoire, these players
have introduced settings Of the ultra
modern school.
It has been the custom Of Mr. Sothern
and Miss Marlowe to surround them
selves with the best players available

JANE COWB VISITS
MURAT NEXT WEEK.
Jane Cowl is coming to the Murat
next Thursday for stay Of three days
and a Saturday matinee.
That Miss Cowl is to be seen in the IN
questioned triumph of her brilliant
career, "Smilin Through" adds much
to the interest Of the occasion. and no
doubt the charming stars reception
here viii augment the general ovation
she has received in all the large cities
So enthusiastic has been the welcome
accorded Miss Cowl In her present play
that a London engagement is being ar
ranged for the spring season at the flat
tering behest of the most prominent OF
the English managers, and IL Is prob
able that the charming artistic Will be lost
to American admirers for at least one
season.
'Smilin' Through" is a fantasy in a
prologue and three acts, with every
minute full of charm, pathos or delight
full humor. 1t is n perfect vehicle for
the lovely Miss Cowl, for 1t gives her
more opportunity to show her versatility
as an actress than some Of her other
plays. In the past she was identified
with emotional roles in which she was
unhappy most of the time. But as Kath-
leen, that irresistible Irish lass with all
the humOr and cleverness Of her race
she is wholly charming in a totally
different sort Of part. OF course, there
are pathetic moments and some very real
and tragic ones, too. "Smilin' Through
is an ideal vehicle for the star, and
through her 1t sends a very beautiful
message.
