This is the rare treat of the musical season and is conceded to be the brightest, cleanest and most thoroughly enjoyable musical pro- duction that has been presented here in- many seasons. It has fun, dancing and every 'variety of mo- dern dancing up to the present time, a fashion display of magnificent up- to-the-minute costumes and every other feature of popular entertain- ment, but all subservient to the won- derfully seductive charm of the mu- sic and score, sung by artists who would do credit to the most expen- sive grand opera. J. Humbird Duffy, New York's favorite baritone, Mar- jorie Dunbar Pringle, with the brightest and sweetest of high so- prano voices, Doris Payne, Sidney De Grey, Herbert Standing, Teddy Wilde, Marion Whitney, Clara "hropp, Ceasr Gonzales and Joseph Standish comprise the nota¥le cast. The chorus is composed of forty lovely young girls of-the peach-blow variety and the orchestra is in charge of Howard Cooke, late conductor of the New Amsterdam Theatre, New York City. The whole production is on an unparalleled scale of magni- ficence, "The 13th Chair." Thealre-goers who have waited pa- tiently for the coming of "The Thir- teenth Chair," will be well rewarded when the sensational melodrama will be presented here on Dec. 12th in the same elaborate setting in which it was shown at the Forty-eighth Street Theatre, New York. Td at- tempt a description of "The Thir- teenth Chair" in a few brief sen- lences would be well night impossi- ble. Suffice it to say that from the moment the curtain descended on the last act of the play on its opening night, it was the most talked of play 'seen in New York in an entire thea- trical season. Its continuous run at the Forty-Eighth street theatre for 'more than a year bears eloquent tes- timony to the interest taken in the play by those who love the drama. "The Thirteenth Chair" is by Bay- Lard Weiller, the author of "Within the Law," who is known to theatre- goers the world over as a faster hand at writing 'sensational dramatic 'plays. At Griffin's, For to-day, Friday and Saturday Florence To-Bodie, the beautiful and talented soreen star, will be one of the features of our programme, appearing in one of the best pictures produced in months, "War and the Woman." It is not too much to say that Miss Ta Bodie's work in this picture is a revelation. She looks Btartingly beautiful, and her acting in the Kind that can be counted up on to thoroughly satisfy and please everybody. Douglas Fairbanks in the best picture of his career, "The Man From Painted Post," is anoth- er interesting feature on our pro- gramme. A special treat is in siore for the many admirers of the genial "Bony." In the role of Fancy Jim Sherwood, the immaculate dude, who wipes out a powerful gang of cattle rustlers, the smiling star of- fers a characterization that will meet with popular favor among pat- rons of clean pictures. To compiete a first-class bill the management is also showing, beginning to-day, the first episode of Pathe's new roman- tice serial, "The Fatal Ring," star- ring the greatest of serial stars, Miss Pearl White. This is an en- tirely different serial, and should meet with unanimous approval from all patrons. Don't fail to see the first episode, entitled, "The Violet Diamond." At the Strand. George Walsh returns to the Strand to-night for a three days showing of his latest Wm. Fox pro- duction "The Yankee Way." This is another of George's smile-a-minute comedies and is wp to the Fox stan- dard in every respect. The action of the story takes George to Lithunia, father's cattle concession. Woven throughout this fine comedy theme is an exciting story of love and adven- ture. George has fallen in leve with a princess.
