McVicker’s Theatre.

“Lovers’ Lane,” the delightful Clyde Fitch play now running at McVicker’s Theatre and in its seventh week, seems to be one of those “Lanes” which have no turning. Its long run is one of the marvels of the Chicago summer season. The beautiful play has packed the spacious McVicker’s every night so far and gives promise of doing so until the end of the engagement. This is not remarkerable after one has seen the play and knows its charm and beauty. In the first place, Clyde Fitch has written an idyl of life in the small town which without other beauties to recommend it than its own inherent strength would be an attraction; secondly V illiffm A. Brady, in bis usual and customary generous dealing with the public has given the play a wonderously beautiful setting and lias, provided a company the excellence of which is incontestable with such actors in the cast as Nanette Comstock, Mille James, Emily Wakeman,Sadie Stringham, L'zze Conway, Agnes Findlay, Zelda Sears, Annie Mifflin, Lillian Lee, Ernest Hastings, E. J. Ratcliffe, George Osbourne, Horace Lewis, A. C. Sanders and Julian Barton it would be hard for a play to fail. Then, the production is made at McX icker’s Theatre, the most popular house in Chicago, Jacob Litt having kept his promises of making it the home of productions and of giving the patrons of the theatre more than full value for the money they pay out for admission. Mr. Litt has had many notable successes during his management of the house and his promises for the season to come are full of goofl cheer.
