Of ?ur?e, It goes without saying that t iu not likely that any play han >ver bad the advertising that this ^ hah bud through the dally car-r !oon series that la run Inn more iban five hundred newspapers In the United States and Canada. The ?rlglnal success was undoubtedly at tained by the artist,. Bud Fisher of Hew York American staff, when he conceived the eccentric Idea of Mr. i Mutt and Mr. Othello Montgom ery Jeffries, however it suffices to ty that the most conservative the atrical critics and even the "mag lites," who control practically jyery first class theatre In tjie pjntry, hand the "jiennant" to ''Mutt and Jeff" as the financial and irtistic success of a decade, which Beans that the play has earned that mviable title, for you cannot fool the American theatregolng public Into patronizing an unworthy attrac tion as they have patronized "Mutt ind Jeff". This season Mr. Hill offers the second edition replete Kith new and startling novelties, Mw book, music, scenery and cos tumes, all of which will surpass that k last season, if euch a thing is possible. "Mutt and Jeff" ;will un ioubetedly assume Its place with Ben Hur" and "Way Down Bast" i a standard American play that ill never wear out. Seats on sale t Zemp's Pharmacy.? i-Adv. Bridge Let.
