"THE PRINCE CHAP."
A coutemporary critic writing of the "Prince Chap," tho piece in which Mr H. H. Roberts will appear here next Wednesday evening, says: "Ie is all so 'clear,' to use a feministic word, that just fits tho bill, ho over flowiug with tho wonders of childish lovo and childish ways, so fragrant with goutlo sentiment that exalts romauoo ami makes it precious and wholesome that ono has no wonder over its success. When childish fiugers toiuih the heart strings, your Zazes and Irises and all tho long lino of strenuous females clutching at your vitals are weak and ineffective. This little play, which celebrates childish innocence and lovo auri trust, should outlast a dozen of the other kind. I am going to see it just as many times as I can this week. You will do well to do likewise. If you do yon will send me letters of thanks for pointing out tho way to such a ploasnre." Local play-goers will look forward eagerly to this production, and Miore is sure to be big booking when the box plan opens at Miss Rives', on Saturday morning. Tho "Prince Chap" will be Mr Roberts' opening bill and on t io jecoud evoniug a change will b9 made to Henry Arthur Jones' famous comedy "The Case of Rebellious Susan."
