Splendid Attraction at The Ellis Theatre Tonight.

The attraction at the Ellis Theatre this evening is ‘The Only Son,” a Cohan & Harris production that has fcceated a deep interest wherever played and ran for a long, time in Chicago, The cast that is playing here tonight is headed by Richard Kent, an actoT of ability and he is surrounded by a cast of able performers. ‘The Only Son” was written by the author of that other and equally good play, ‘The Fortune Hunter,” and is just as clean and just as true to life. The plot shows the love of a true son for his mother, how he remained with her when the father deserted and how, with a mind single for her happiness, made her happy because of his devotion. v ' Mr. Kent has played in ‘The Stubborn Cinderilla.” “The Time, the Place and the Girl,” and other musical successes as well as in innumerable dramatic delineations that have stamped him an actor of ability. The company carries its own special scenery and a vaudeville act entirely independent of the play, for a seiisational between acts presentation. The prices for tonight range from 25 to 75 cents.
