But tradition is frequently upset and per- haps seldom as badly upset as at the Shubert Olympic where "The Spider" opened last Sunday evening. Packed houses have greeted it all week and bid fair to continue as long as they let it run here. The show is a "wow" in more ways than one. It is undoubtedly the best mystery story that has been produced and that includes "The Bat" and all the rest of the "who shot who" plays. It is more logical than the others, is ac- corded excellent acting and has the added advantage of originality. The audience at "The Spider" is greeted by a typical vaudeville show. Several acts have been presented and a magician-mind reader is passing up and down the aisle. An altercation with one of the members of the audience starts the shooting, police take charge of stage and audience and solving the murder mystery becomes the business of the evening. This idea of involving the audience in the proceedings is most interesting. It takes the affair out of the realm of stage productions and adds a touch of realism which makes you want to tell your friends how good it was. Robert Emmett Keane is the outstanding char- acter in the role of the magician, Paul Harvey makes a most believable police inspector and the others fit into their respective places most acceptably. It is easy to see why "The Spider" was successful in New York; in Chicago it should do equally as well. It is a bang- up show. The Messrs. Shubert, who have been presenting Miss Sophie Tucker in Gay Paree, announce that the production will move to the Garrick theater next Monday to make way for Mr. Leon Errol who comes to the 4 Cohans theatre in "Yours Truly," a musical comedy. Mitzi, who was so successful in "The Madcap" at the Olympic,. has moved to the Great Northern and is now ending her run with two more weeks at that theatre. She has been seen in noth- ing better. --THESPIAN. Dr. and Mrs. Sanger Brown of Ken- ilworth returned Sunday after having passed two weeks in the East.
