AT (Itl PLAYHOUSES
METROPOLITAN
-The Orest John Oanton" at the Met-
ropolitan Monday night played to
a house that called for every Inch of
room. It was a crowd similar to that
of last week when every seat waa sold
for every performance, and the record
promises to be duplicated this week.
Much interest was centered in the big
play which deals with one of the
greatest principles of life, and every
member of the company made good In
the several roles. Jack ltoalelgh ac-
quitted himself In great shape aa the
a«n of the hardhearted, old packer,
while J. C. Hubbard in the title role
waa even more than hlo moat ardent
supporters had anticipated.
Enid Mae Jackson took the role of
-May Keating.” “The Great John
Oanton” will hold the boards all week,
with matinea Saturday and Sunday.
NEW LYRIC.
“The Lion and the Mouse as presen-
ted by the Lorch-Blttner 8tock Com-
pany will be the second wek’a offering
at the New Lyric commencing Satur-
day matinee, March 4. This is without
doubt the greatest of all American
dramas by one of our foremost Amer-
ean authors, Charles Klein. A char-
actcer never waa more fitting for Wi.l-
iam W. Bittner aa John Burkett Ryder,
known throughout the story as "The
Money King.” Miss Francis Nord-
strom will portray the part of Shirley
Roaamore, a woman fighting for her
rights through this world. Mr. Theo-
dore Lorch will be sen at his beat In
the role of Jefferson Ryder, the son of
The Lion. The cast, on the whole
have never this season had parts more
■sited to them aa their respective
characters in “The Lion and the
Mouse.” The scenic artists have been
ynff busy men in th£ last week build-
ing and painting the production.
The New Lyric theater Is now with-
oat doubt the finest theater playing at
papular prices In the southwest. The
word “Success" seems to be stamped
on every wall. Popular prices prevail.
Matinee daya Sunday, Wednesday and
