“THE PRICE OF PEACE."

Chicago has gone mad over the beauties and magnitude of Jacob I Litt’s great production of “The Price of Peace”, the English melodrama which is packing McVicker’s Theatre to the doors ’ all the time. Next week, during the International Live Stock show, it iis thought possible it will be necessary to give two or three extra matinees to satisfy the demands ,of the visitors to see the play. Already there is a tremendous | mail order list for the performances of that week, people intending to see the play and the Live Stock exhibition during the same week having sent in their orders in ad- < vance so that they may be sure of seats. All this commotion about | “The Price of Peace” is deserved i for there has never been a more i colossal production made in America and for pure magnificence arid beauty it rivals and surpasses all of the other big productions which Jacob Litt has given to the public since he took possession of McVicker’s In the matter of eo&tumes alone the play would draw thousands of spectators for there are nearly 1,000 men’s and women's dresses used during the progress of the play’s action. And all of the gowns worn by the , women—some 5tK.) of them—are products of the great dress-making | establishment of Paris. Doucet, I Felix, Pingat, Rodnitz. Paequin,’ [Worth and half a dozen other | world-famed names are on the bands of those dresses showing that they are models of all that makes for perfection in millinery. The ladies of the company wear these creations with the superb assurance that they are gowned properly and exquisitely. The outfit of costumes alone cost something nenr §40,000 —a fortune in itself. But it is notin dresses alone that “The Price of Peace” commands respect and admiration; the set nery is tremendous and full of beaut_v; the furniture and appointments elegant and in fashion; the acting of the highest order and the play itself full of excitement and adventure. What more can one ask in a theatrical entertainment?
