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

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

interesting from start to finish, the
dialogue witty and the action full of
onmxW Mr. Flaman has
achieved a notable triumph with the

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
