Show BIG SOW HI' tti OHITOMOHIN The dramatization of "Tho Calling of Dan Matthews," which comes to the Orpheum tomorrow night is so well known as a book that it is utterly utter-ly unnecessary to give a detailed description de-scription of tho plot hs every reader of Harold Bell Wright's Stories, and tholr nnmft is loirion hns ro.nrt "Tho Calling of Dan Matthews." In it wo find the familiar and well loved scenes, faces and names wo mot with in "Tho Shophord of tho Hills." Tho play belongs to the twentieth twen-tieth contury and like all of Mr. Wright's stories', when put into playing play-ing from makes an Intensely Interesting Interest-ing and powerful acting drama. Mr. Wright's characters when produced behind the footlights are always true to life, as the author himself is a magnificent delineator of character and never fails to imbue his men and women with a realism seldom equaled by the modern playwright. The play is in four acts, each one growing more close, and while serious In theme, It has a powerful voln of comody that lightens It and acts as a base of relief re-lief to tho stronger and more Intense scenes of the drama. "The Calling of Dan Matthews" has been dramatized drama-tized by Mr. Wright and Elsbery W. Reynolds, and Is produced by the well known firm of theatrical managers, Messrs. Gaskill and MacVitty, who have already given us "Tho Shepherd of tho Hills" and "That Printer of Udell's," and have established for themselves an enviable reputation for sincerity of detail, and a desire to furnish for their various productions actors of merit and ability, and scenic equipment far hove tho ordinary. Both in its company of players and scenic producti i Tho Calling of Dan Matthews," bids fair to outshine any previous attempt by these popular producers; and to those theatregoers who take real pleasure in a splendid play, mounted with care and cast with a company far above tho average, "The Calling of Dan Matthews" will make a very powerful appeal.
