Fitzgerald Murphy, the dramatist, has written a play with a central character, that of the Chief K, Justice of the 'New York CourL of Ap- B' peals, that Is particularly suited to Mr. Hi Sully's style. The heart interest of the Hi play is strong. Thero are three pretty t love stories, sharply contrasted but woven Into a harmonious whole that Bn makes a stage romance of absorbing Hf Interest. To properly Interpret the play H- required a standard company of play- ers, and Mr. Sully and his manager I have provided such a company.

It will give ' two plays each week, with matinees Hl Wednesday and Saturday. The bill for j the first half of this week will be William Haworth's comedy-drama, "A H Flag of Truce," a powerful play full Ht of life and color, -nith strong situations Hj nnd thrilling climaxes. Yet there is a H vein of good wholesome comedy Jnter- H woven in the story. While the title of H the play suggests a war drama, there Is H very little in the plot to recall the stern and bitter realities of the struggle be-tween be-tween North and South, the scenes bc-H bc-H lag mostly laid in New England. "A H Flag of Truce," like "Shenandoah," is one of those plays that will survive the fashions of the day, for the reason that Hi the theme it deals with 19 perennial, and because its action is natural. "The Man From Mexico" will he presented during the last half of the week. The company engaged by Mr. Elle-i Elle-i foitl numbers well-known stock actors, rariic of whom have appeared here with other companies. There are - eighteen people in the company.
