PROMISES 3IADE BY THE PEESS AGENTS MTh SubtltBt" Tonight. When an audience la eo captured with a player and a play that there la 84 reaching for wraps and hat In or-. 0er to make a quick run for the cart and always iralt for. all pasaengerB at the close, that player and play have made an extraordinary hit end it la aie to say the whole city will be talk ing about them the next day. Buch Is the kind of impression that Max Fig man has made everywhre in the com edy succeaa, "The Substitut," in which he will be seen at the Ilelllg theatre, fourteenth and "Washington streets, for three night beginning tonight at 8:16. There la never any .rush after Mr. Figman'a performance. He holds his audiences by his art and his magnetism and they always leave with a desire for more. The Substitute" approaches more nearly pure comedy than any play that has ever been written for years 1, .i.... Vina the rhllosonhv of f ood nature uppermost. The story is interesting from start to finish, the dialogue witty and the action full of onmxW Mr. Flaman has achieved a notable triumph with the rlay and tne most positive pruox ft success Is that he la making a lot of money with It. Tbe Substitute" derived lta name from the fact that in the course of the tor. Ma Flgman, who portrays an n.tjMlt New York lawyer, goes to a, rural Cionnectlcut church as a aub etltute fof the young minister who was to preach his first' sermon there. The experience of the lawyer In the role of the parson furnishes a lot of exceed ingly funny situations that keen the auditors In fits of laughter and also leads UP to the development' of a ro mance full of dramatic strength and compelling heart interest. The charac ter fits Mr. r Flgraan'a -personality an temperament-like a glove and demon strates hia qualities as an actor even fitter than Al last, ysag'a success, jilun on the Box." : Seats are now Bell ing for the entire engagement, ' ' ' V 4Stronghart" at Bungalow. tW Thanksgiving week offering-by Ttakor Stock company at the.
