For entertainment and deep in

attraction of the American stage
today. It is the strongest romance
based on a human theme, has
had extended engagements in
New York, Boston, Chicago and
Philadelphia, and is now enjoying
its third road tour to exceptional
business throughout this western
territory. It will be seen at the

everybody enjoys Helena to the
full extent. It is a distinct nov
elty, so far as its theme is con
cerned. The plot was conceived
by Margaret Deland and the
dramatization made by Charlotte
Thompson, a wel-known newspa
per woman of San Francisco.
Even in these days of lavish ex
penditure, the settings of ‘‘Hel

The company which will pre
sent this play is headed by Ro

for her excellent performance of
Mary Tudor in ‘‘When Knight

to say that there is not a person
who would not be glad to see
‘‘The Awakening of Helena Ri

mended by educators, clergymen,
the press and general public
wherever it has ben presented.
It is a truly American produc
tion and -appeals to all really
