New Records.
Few attractions have established the records now credited to “The Greyhound,” The Studebaker has long maintained a reputation as one o.f the long-run and steady attendance 'houses of the country, but nothing more attractive from the artistic as well r as the financial standpoint has ever tarried there. Two months of capacity houses have made “The Greyhound” the talk of the theatrical profession from New York to San Francisco and established its flame as the most, sensational dramatic success of the new year. Wagenhale and Kemper predicted a brilliant future for .their latest production, the Chicago papers received it enthusdastkaHy, but no one came forward with the advance information that the new offering would take its place as the crowning feature of the theatrical season. “The Greyhound” is a big play with bright high-lights and somber Shadows. It is tense and dramatic, with a color which lifts one from the atmosphere of business and everyday life. It fulfills every requirement of a popular entertain-, ment and at the same time, it leaves an impression few offerings Of any sort have been able to create. The characters are unique and the entire performance is characterized by am unusual air of the novel and uncommon. Many things might be added, in support of the claim that . “The Greyhound” is the season’s sensation, but the fact that two months of crowded houses has not diminished the intereat hi this
unusual play, is quite enough in its favor. Extra popular priced matinee Washington’s birthday, next Thursday, popular matinee Wednesday and regular matinee Saturday. Every night Including Sunday, fifty cents to a dollar and a half, no higher.
