Harry Home 1 i4naa Chandler M She Oephcum Edna (jreen -4 Me Gsyefr T IS the opinion of "moat the atrical producing managers that the book play, a a finan cial Investment Is vastly su perior to any other. No mat ter how well a manuscript reads and rehearse, its success is prob lematical until It has been tried before a bonafide audience. But in the event of preparlitg for presentation the dramatisa tion cf a ,-bet seller," there la the cer tainty that It has carried a big appeal In book furm and that, if the atage version adheres to the original as closely aa is consistent with dramatic construction there is a percentage In favor of its "going over." Also there is the value of the advertising of the play that can be reck oned on in advance from the reader of the book. Many charming stories run from cover to cover without a telling situation, and for staKe purposes, big, strong moments of that sort are indispensable. Now, about casting It. If mostly types are required, can the proper ones be secured without entailing, a prohibitive salary list? Has the author realized too vividly in the pic turing of the scenic beauties that form the environment of his characters? Some- by O'Brien Havel & Co. Mr. Havel Is a oo median with an effective method, and he is cleverly assisted by Miss Valeska. Four young women attractively cos tumed and two young men comprise the Rose Valerlo sextet. They do all man ner of difficult tricks on a slack wire. "The Circus Girls" is the title of the comedy skit to be presented by Marie and Billy Hart. The versatility of Miss Hart la displayed by her singing, dancing and variety of circus tricks. Charles McUood and his two assistants are to contrlbuto an act called "Pas time in a- Billiard Parlor." Borne re markable billiard shots are' shown at the beginning of the act, and afterward come a series of athletic feats. Again this week Interesting world views will be shown by the motion picture dis play In the Orpheum Travel Weekly. TTHh a complete equipment of new scenery, all new wardrobe, almost an en- all new times there are books written like "Lorna Doone" and "The Garden of Allah" that j tlrely new company and with contain such beautiful pen pictures of nature's scenery, that they overshadow the story In the minds of the readers, and consequently a stage reproduction, falling to realise the pictorial Impressions of the readers would have little chance of succeeding. In the production made of "Lorna Doone" there was no scene show ing the historic winter mentioned at length in the book, and to that omlBslon can be attributed the slight Interest shown In the play. Managers hesitated to take the Hlchen'a book for stage purposes, knowing that the author's wonderful de features, ' Nell O'Brien and his Great American Minstrels will be the attraction at the Brandeis theater, matinee and eve ning, Thursday, November 13. This is O'Brien's third year at the head of -bis own organisation, which during of fun ever attempted in nny country and seem never to Hot enotiph of it at all times with its funny situations and lines of merriment. The famous court room scene of Alexander Mason's powerful drama of mother love. "Madam X," fur nishes a meaty theme for the satirist. The "Bowery Uuilesquers" will present this plethora of lauli and fat-produclna. material at the Oayety this week. The particular shining stars are Fitzgerald and Qulnn, always the two funny boys. In Irish, and dainty and vivacious Edna Green, who sings and dunces her way Into the hearts of everyone; that peer less comedian Sam Mlcala, who plays the part of the Judge, the imposing Judge; Joale Klne, the original "Madam X," In her forceful rendition of the title role; Bobby Harrington, the boy with Ihe soft shoe dancing; Dolly .Barnes, the beauti ful blonde girl with the high rang voice. and the beauty chorus of pretty girls In many changes of handsome gowns, to gether with the special electrical effects and stage settings, thus making this one of the best offerings of its kind for this soaaon.

At last, from (i most unpromising source, comes a young woman applicant that the farmer feels Is the housekeeper he needs. He decides Ito marry tier beforo she enters ha service to pn-teet them both from the Hrso suspicions of the villagers. Thus enters Into the grim history of this man's life a romance as bright and delicate na a golden thread, developing on both sides) a love that could surmount all difficul ties and survive the censure of friends si well as the bitterness of enemies.
