It is headed Pacificward for: the second time this season. The play was written by Joseph Kes-sclring and produced by Howard Lindsay and Russel Crousc. Heightening the interest in its appearance is the fact that wo are to have the original New York cast. That exceptionally fine actor, Boris Karloff, who created the role of Jonathan Brewster, will be seen in the star part, and in his support will be found all the distinguished players who have shared honors in the play's success. These include Josephine Hull, Jean Adair, John Alexander, Clinton Sundberg, Edgar Stchli and others. This hilarious farce was staged by Bretaigne Windust and the set ting is by Raymond Sovey.' I By this time the unique story of "Arsenic -and Old Lace" has! become pretty well known. How! two elderly, refined ladies named! Abby and Martha Brewster, live in a shady lane in Brooklyn and carry on a very, very shady bit of business commonly called murder; how they do away with no less than a dozen old gentlemen who come to rent rooms of them; and how all this is turned into what has been termed "the most riotously hilarious comedy of the season" are but feeble suggestions of what goes on. There are numerous other characters, such as a nephew who imagines he is the late "Teddy" Roosevelt; another who vies with the sisters in their amusing avocation and has his face lifted every time he knocks off a victim; and still another who tries to be a sane dramatic critic despite his hysterical ' surroundings. There is also a young love story but it has a pretty rocky time of it amidst the turmoil which includes a policeman who fails to discover a dozen murders right under his nose because he is intent on writing a play that will knock people dead. The St. Louis engagement will nark the first time that "Arsenic and Old Lace" has been presented at popular prices. The best seats for the night performances will be $2.24. The Wednesday matinee has been scaled at 56c and $1.12, and the Saturday matinee 56c, $1.12 and $1.68. . - . THE MOST WIDELY . r UNION, 63 Leave For Army Induction Twelve In Group Assigned To U.

I By this time the unique story of "Arsenic -and Old Lace" has! become pretty well known. How! two elderly, refined ladies named! Abby and Martha Brewster, live in a shady lane in Brooklyn and carry on a very, very shady bit of business commonly called murder; how they do away with no less than a dozen old gentlemen who come to rent rooms of them; and how all this is turned into what has been termed "the most riotously hilarious comedy of the season" are but feeble suggestions of what goes on. There are numerous other characters, such as a nephew who imagines he is the late "Teddy" Roosevelt; another who vies with the sisters in their amusing avocation and has his face lifted every time he knocks off a victim; and still another who tries to be a sane dramatic critic despite his hysterical ' surroundings. There is also a young love story but it has a pretty rocky time of it amidst the turmoil which includes a policeman who fails to discover a dozen murders right under his nose because he is intent on writing a play that will knock people dead. The St. Louis engagement will nark the first time that "Arsenic and Old Lace" has been presented at popular prices. The best seats for the night performances will be $2.24. The Wednesday matinee has been scaled at 56c and $1.12, and the Saturday matinee 56c, $1.12 and $1.68. . - . THE MOST WIDELY . r UNION, 63 Leave For Army Induction Twelve In Group Assigned To U.
