I
"The Merry Wives of Windsor" ,
brings forth Tom Wise and an incon-i
spicuous company Except for the re-,
.tund comedian himself, in the guise of :
Falstaff, there Is little fb Justify the!
present revival. The supporting cast,!
although it contains some familiar
frames, contains tin on to lw m m nn r..,l
with Mr. Wise. It is a masterly per
formance that he gives, and one which
Is Justly celebrated.
In "Her Husband's Wife." Henry
Miller has given the stage a revival
which is exceedingly amusing and en
tertaining. Marie Tempest is the
bright Spot, although the cast Is ex-j
ceptionally competent in every way.
Laura Hope Crews, Graham Brown, (
Henry Kolker and Eugene O'Brien are!
among the members, and Mr. Miller,!
who staged it, has contributed a rare,
comedy treat to a season which sure'y !
needs it. I suggest "Her Husband's
Wife" as an antidote to " 'Ception (
Shoals," which also had a premiere!
late In the week. j
"The Lodger" came to New York i
after a brief tour through the eastern
cities. . It was a genuine surprise to
those who were unfamiliar with the!
play or Its name. It was indeea ;
brought In to serve as a stop gap for
the Maxtne Elliott theatre whn
"Gambler's All" registered failure.
The story has to do with the eccen'ri
cithss of a stranger who takes lodg-
inga in Bloomsbury, and who, because
of his preditiction for night rambles,!
is mistaken for the perpetrator of a I
number ot ghastly murders committed,
In the vicinity. He didn't commit I
them, however. He was a harmless !
sort of personage, who falls In love
with a poor, but honest, typist, whom
h finds in the lodging house. It was
not the lodger, however, who furnished
the Interest, it was the keepers of th3
lodging house, two comedy roles en
acted with consummate skill by Beryl
Mercer and Harry Ashford, a comedi
enne and a comedian of unusual artis
tic attainments. Harold de Becker, as
a self-opinionated member of the statf
of Scotland Yard, also contributed to
the gaiety of the evening, and while'
Mr. Atwell, a clever English actor,
who played the role of the mysterious
stranger, was pleasing, he lacked vari
ety and was not quite able to hold the
interest. Miss Relph, who was a co
Btar, was totally lacking in interest
. " 'Ception Shoals" represents the sort !
of play that can best be done by Nazi- j
mova. -who opened her season at the
Princess last week. The play -is tho !
antithesis of all that is cheerful, but
the acting of the emotional and tragic
star left little to be desired. A reii
tlvely new author, H. Austin Adams,
wrote It, and, thanks to Waltec Wag-1
ner, the manager, it was given an ex
ceptionally effective- staging.
The lines are tragic and grewsomc.
It appeals by the very stark realism.,
It compels interest trtiu-h as would thCi
witnessing of a tragic -event, and one
sighs with relief at the final curtain,
but remembers the play long after de
parture rrom the playhouse. It must
rank as one of tne notable plays of the
season, and the acting is very near
perfection, ft is a gratification to note
the favorable reception accorded by
the press, with few exceptions.
"In for the Night1 may have a title
which will prove prophetic, as it ri -ceived
little encouragement from te
critics, and their verdict seems to be
well founded. It is a farce by Jamos
Savery. a young man. who has. written
if or the Hasty Pudding club of Har
ard. and is enacted by Herbert Yost,
Gerald Griffin, Lily Cahlll, Irene Osh
ler, Percy Ames and others. It Is
clean, which is in its favor, but that
almost completes the category of good
poir. The Herald is satisfied to call
-iy"'pollte, but pale," and the World
Ays it is "sluggish." "it suffers
ffrom a lack of finish," the Sun de-
It-lares, and the Times calls It "mediocre."
"Have a Heart is a jolly little af
fair, with much humor, some tuneful
numbers, a few pretty girls, clever
comedians and a stage setting and
management that is conductive to suc
cess. Jerome Kearn wrote some tune
ful melodies, and the words were writ
ten and the story devised by P. G.
Wodehouse and Guy Bolton, whil-a
Henry Savage, a veteran of the opera
comlque world, made the. excellent
production. Billy Van Donald Ma -donald,
Thurston Hall, Eileen Von
BUne, Louise Dresser and James K.
uraoury are among xne players en-,
gaged.
Story, music and fun fill two of the
liveliest acts unfolded here for a long
time. The first aet talfes place in a
department store devoted to the com
forts of Its employes, rather than Us
customers, and the second la In a sea
side hotel, where the proprietor of -the
store is trying to win back the. wife
" who had deserted him because of hid
devotion to his most beautiful aa'es
Iris. "
The press Teviews were uniform.lT
favorable.
In "The Rise of Susan," the new
Clara Kimball Young picture about to

cornes a countess pro tem and has a

-1 omorrow is the opening of a six-day "series of sales" heretofore unrecorded in this or anv other citv. It marks th nffrincr of nwrh
half a million dollars, which, if bought by us today, would cost from 50 to 75 per cent more.
It is our purpose to close out in six days all this season's merchandise to dispose of every odd lot to clear away every small and incomplete assortment to clean
up merchandise that cannot be restocked.
It is the end of our business. year. The last week of Double-Economy January the last week before inventory. Every buyer has recieved the command, "Clean:
up stocks"; never mind present costs; disregard merchandise scarcity; ignore the daily soaring of prices; our indelible rule, never violated, "to Sell as we buy," abso
lutely controls the policy of this event. ,
we have led you to expect much we shall not disappoint you.
Every stock, every section of the store, is represented in this great Six-Day Sale, with merchandise that in almost every instance would cost more at wholesale today
than we have priced it at retail.
Every articlein this sale measures up to our slogan, "Merchandise of Merit Only"; you buy safely under its guarantee. 3
limited space permits us to mention but a few of tomorrow's sales. No mail or telephone orders filled. Positively, at these sale prices, no exchanges or returns.
In many instances the prices are so sensationally low we have been forced to restrict quantities to insure fair distribution. .
During the past few months this store has discontinued the use of comparative prices. For this Six-Day Sale we quote comparative prices from our former bona-fide
retail prices, in order that patrons may figure quickly and accurately the remarkable economies offered. After this Six-Day Sale this store will discontinue the use of
comparative prices absolutely excepting twice a year, in the sale months of July and January. Be here at the opening of this store-you will be best served in the rnorning.
