This condition bas confronted some of the very best productions, and the peculiar situation has been the topic among managers and producers for years. Various reasons have been offered in attempts to solve this theatrical puzzle, among which is the belief that the great number of Bosotn playgoers who patronize the higher priced offerings, have, at one time or another, seen the attraction during its New York run.

There are those who think that the natives of the New England metropolis have an entirely different theatrical taste from those who people other communities, they feel that the early Puritan idea is still reflected in the "Boston opinion" of a good show. Therefore, the unusually long run of "Mary" in that city has been the cause of wide discussion, the answer probably lies in the fact that the new "Cohan" play is the embodiment of clean, wholesome comedy, fascinating "Cohan" wit and delightful music, together with brilliant ensembles, a corus of attractive and pretty girls who sing and dance in a delightful way, and a production that surpasses any previous attempt in costuming and scenic embellishments. "Mary" will be the attraction at the Fulton Opera House, Monday and Tuesday, March 7 and 8, with a matinee on Tuesday, NAZIMOVA TO APPEAR IN HAMILTON PICTURE RECOVERING AT HOSPITAL Fred W.

Just why they are called 'We devils is not apparent, unless they served with the French hosts In the late unpleasantness; but from press reports coming from eines In which they have appeared it is certain these sons of the desert are genuine whirling dervishes and the most remarkable Arabian acrobats ever brought to this country. They have been featured in all the larger Keith theatres. Two other "flyers" on the same bill are Devaro and Zemater, who announce themselves as "The Flying Minstrels." Theirs is a black face comedy offering. the fun-making being mingled with some expert work on the horizontal bars.

A popular comedian will appear in the person of Will Mahoney. Mr. Mahoney asks his audience. "Why be serious?" and proceeds to answer his own question in a way that dispels all seriousness, at least while he is on the stage. George Nagel and company vill present songs and dances.

The bill opening at the Colonial Monday is especially interesting inasmuch as it marks the beginning of the new jungle serial, "The Son of Tarzan." This is a picturization of Edgar Rice Burroughs' latest jungle book. It is brimful of thrills and action, showing the savage people and beasts of the African wilds as a setting for a romantic love story. The Wimpamti rft0OadMoonloowelig Wg MARY MILES MINTER IN GRAND PICTURE The feature attraction the first half of the week at the Hamilton theatre is "Madame Peacock" with Nazimova In the leading role. This latest story adapted by Rita Weiman presents the star as Jane Goring, a brilliant stage celebrity who finds the heights of fame somehow do not bring the complete happiness she had imagined. Later in the story Nazimova comestto the front in a second character as Gloria Crowell the gifted, nondescript little girl to whom Jane Goring is rather more than a goddess.

The story has been unfolded in a most skillful manner making it one of the best offerings that this screen star has ever presented while the cast of players in the production could not be improved upon. Added the entire week is one of the 'famous Buster Keaton comedies "One Week." This famous vaudeville star has made the greatest kind of a hit wherever this film has been shown. The first three days Topics of the Day and Kinograms are also scheduled. For the last half of the week the popular Charles Ray will be seen in his latest rural success "Peaceful Valley."
