THE OLIVER.
Why should Mr. Daniel Froham have
so!d Munroe & Sage such a valuable
piece of theatrical property as "The
Prisoner of Zenda," which comes to the
Oliver Monday night, when it is known
as one of his biggest moneymakers and
is today in the height of its popularity?
When Abbey Sage Richardson, who is
the mother of Mr. Sage, and one of the
authors of Mr. Frohman's latest suc
cess "The Pride of Jennico" had finish
td the M. S. of the latter play, she gave
,her son and Mr. Munro to read.
While they were di6CUBsing it Mr. Froh
man called and deprecated the fact
that no recent play had the badge of
merit possessed by "The Prisoner of
Zenda," his greatest and most success
ful v nture. Mr. Sage championed the
"Jennico" play so persistently that Mr.
Fiohman said, "BoyB, if 'Jennico' is re
ceived with as much favor as 'Zenda'
was, I will give you the rights to that
play for the coming season, together
with all the scenery, costumes, etc., and
some of my own company." "The Pride
of Jennico" ia a huge success and a fit
ting companion to "Zenda." Mr. Froh
man, true o his word, gave "the boys"
"Thb Prisoner of Zenda," which will be
here in its regal magnificence Monday
night.
Prices 25c, 50c, 75c and $100. Seats
