However, no matter to what lengths we go in announcing "Tea for Three," with Charlotte Walker and Ernest Lawford at the Rajah Theatre, Saturday, November 15th, those familiar with theatrical history of the past season, will fee! that the Selwyns, sponsors for this happy combination, are justified in their claims and assertions. Miss Walker's charm and ability are too well known to need thft in centive of flowery announcements to attract attention her coming to the city, also Mr. La ability as an artist, as for "Vea for Three," the latest work of that highly successful dramatist, Roi Cooper Megrue, that is already recorded in the records of the show world as the greatest of his works to the biggest financial success of the year, which would indicate merit, and with the longest run of any play in New York, comedy or otherwise.

After being greeted by critics and public as an instantan ous hit "Tea for Three" coitinued its merry career at Maxine Elliott's Theatre more than entire year. This would indicate that it has a wide and general appeal, for if a play appeals to any particular class ot theatregoers only it will exhaust its public in a few months, no matter how great its one particular appeal happens to be. "Tea for Three" has become quite generally accepted as Mr. "Megrue's best effort for the stage. When it a recalled that he gave the footlights "It Pays to Advertise," "Under Cover," "Under Fire," "Seven Chances," and several equally popular successes this newest comedy may be anticipated as a rare treat.

The Selwyns have set a very high standard for their productions, and have surpassed this in "Tea for Three." The presentation is said to be decidedly novel, and the only production of its kind ever attempted outside a few art theatres In Eurooe. They endeavor to secure an effect as though the audience was sittine in the room with the players. To say more of this or to divulge the intensely dramatic story unfolded amidst wholesome laughter galore, would be to detract from the genuine treat in store for those expecting to attend this notable presentation. sumce to say the ever present triangle is viewed from a humorous standpoint, without omitting any of the tense dramatic situations that fol low a triangular affair. prodfct show at Hamburg ComltV Afrent AllairiR vluitOrl lc.trK.i,.

Alfred Qorand, aged 14, of Gil bertsvlle, was arrested by Policeman Ililbcrt, at the Pennsylvania round house, on Tuesday, us a ruiiuwuy, PRINCESS Wallace Reid appears at the Princess today and tomorrow In his latest Paramount Artcraft feature, "The Lottery Man," originally played a year ago on Broadway by Cyril Scott. The utory Is by Rida Johnson Young and "The Lottery Man" was heralded as a great farce comedy stage success for many years In support of Mr. Reid are Wanda Hawley and Harrison and what is described as a jiotable cast.

Jack Wright, a. special writer on the daily newspaper, is the role portrayed by the breezy star. He borrows five hflndred dollars from his old college chum, the owner of this same newspaper. When Foxhall Peyton learns that Jack wants the money to play th stock market he refuses but finally loans the money After the money takes wings. Jack happens to be near a wedding party and the old flower woman said that marriage was a lottery.

This gives him the idea and he proposes that he be raffled off with a fifty thou sand dollar bonus to the woman holding the lucky number in the lot tery. The subscription list is quickly run up to three hundred thousan and the final day of the drawing rapidly approaches with Jack try ing'to get out of the bargain grace fully. For he has met a very pretty cousin of Foxhall Peyton's and has lost his bachelor heart. How the ec centric old maid companion of th Foxhall household found the win ning number in a cooky jar and how the hero manages to imitate a sub marine in his efforts to let true lovi run smooth provides a laughable and pleasing finale. When he is trying to get through the crowd of women attending the drawing he is practically mobbed by the militant females desiring him for a husband.

His clothes are practically torn off and he is com pelled to sit on the truck under the admiring eyes of thousands of wo men and looking like Adam from the waist up. Wallaoe Reid is the Jack Wlright in the case and Wanda Hawley as Helen Hever is the erirl he wanted but who couldn'f draw lucky numoer. ATTORNEYS ISSUE STATEMENT INDIANAPOLIS, Nov. 11. The statement of the attorneys for the miners follows: "The operators have repeat edly declared that they were ready to enter into negotiations with the miners if the strike order was withdrawn.

The government has taken the position 'that in the vindication of its own supremacy, the strike order must be withdrawn before they would take any steps to compel the resumption of such negotiations. The issue has been submitted to the court and in compliance with the court's ruling the strike order has been cancelled and withdrawn. It seems that good faith on the part of the operators requires them to meet the miners' representatives at once for the purpose of negotiating a settlement of this wage controversy and that good faith on the part of the government 'quires it to see that such a resumption of negotiations it had at once and concluded without delay."

It is claimed by critics that "Tine Fear Woman'; is the finest cinema achievement of her illustrious This picture is a brilliant example of the new order of art photoplay production. Not only is the play vivid, absorbing, compelling a human document of remarkable fidelity to life but Pauline Frederick herself declares that never before haa she been enabled so fully 'to express tragic emotions, nor to be so fr.eely herself with such satisfying results on the screen. She is essentially a new Pauline Frederick. With Helen Winthrop, a well bred young society woman, who sacrifices her reputation to save that of a friend, as the central character, the plot of "The Fear Woman," is of intense, absorbing interest. Helen Winthrop (Pauline Frederick), obsessed with hereditary fear, is engaged to marry Robert Craig, an attorney (Milton Sills).

Slipping from her home one evening she goes to his apartment, leaving his note behind her. This is found by Helen, who resolves to save her friend and follows her to the apartment. Meanwhile, Scarr has found the note, proceds to Ter hune's and js about'to apprehend his when Helen confronts him, shouldering the blame.

aliunned by society, she leaves the city and goes to a fashionable hotel, where Percy Farwell (Walter Hiers), th pudgy son of Mrs. Honorah Far well (Lydia Yeamans Titus), parvenue, falls in love with her, greatly against his mother's wishes the latter believing that Percy is being caught for his money. On that supposition she engages her lawyer to disentangle the suit. He is Robert Craig. He agrees, not knowing Helen's identity.

Helen, however, discover ing that he is working against her, is disgusted, incl reserves to marry Percy. At a banquet following a tennis tournament she becomes apparently intoxicated, and Scarr. who has been summoned by Mrs. Farwell for a consideration," endeavors to disgrace her.

In carrying out the story of "Polly" and the intrigue she gets into while trying to assist a forelorn millionaire win the love of the girl he wants, the Orpheum Players have been given an excellent vehicle for the fifth week of their season. Miss Nesmith has again proven she can cope with a character to which she has been assigned. The work of Miss Nesmith is indeed clever. Swinging from the character of the meek maid of three young bachelors, she is equally as vivacious when she assumes the self imposed role of a French theatrical enchantress about to devour an unsuspecting millionaire in view of the society girl he thinks he loves and who devotes all, her time to helping human derelicts climb on the water wagon merely as hobby. Mr.

Burroughs, as the youthful man of wealth, meets the situations in the plot calling for clever comedy work with the usual poise that has enabled him to handle his other parts during the season in. a way that has won the approval of his audiences. He is assisted materially in putting over the fun of the show by Dan Davis and Ashton Newton, who play the part of his two friends. While the show won its spurs under David Belasco and has all the clean wholesome features that typify Belasco productions, it had added lacrels in the capable manner in which the Orpheum Players are both staging and presenting it.
