for

"45 Minutes From Broadway" Gennett. "'Anyth!ng emanating nowadays from the prolific and sometimes caustic pen of Geo. M. Cohan, playwright, actor, producer, financier and last, but not least, editor of the "Spotlight," frankly demands and receives recognition. Only twenty-eight years of age, and yet one of the most talked of characters in all the "United States. Successful because hi3 work deserves it. Popular because he makes himself so. Worth a round half million because he has earned it by his own efforts. Such are charac

teristics of the author of "Forty-five

Minutes From Broadway" which will

be presented in this city on next Monday night at the Gennett, under the managerial direction of Klaw and Erlanger, the foremost theatrical

firm in the world. Much is already

known, much has been said and writ

ten of the cleverness of this play. It was absolutely the fad of New York and Chicago last season. Its popularity was unbounded, and so enormous were the box office receipts that it ' remained at one theatre In

New York for half a season and in Chicago for thirty weeks. V'hen seen

in this city, it will be presented by one of the largest, and most expensive

rganizations en tour, with a cast of

unusual excellence, headed by Corin-

ne, who has a role particularly suited to her personality. There is also the

attractive ensemble to bo found with

ill the Cohan productions. For tiii3

day Mr. Cohan has composed some

if his most cat hy music, most prom-

nent among the song hits being: 'So Long Mary" and "Mary is a

Irand Old Name," both of which

lave attained international popular-ty.

The play derives its unique title

from the fact that all its scenes are

aid In New Kochelle, one of the fashonable suburbs of New York. Py

New York's most popular thorough-

are. Mr. Cohan In writting this piny

das departed vastly from the field he

has previously occupied as a writer, lie has given the stasje a play that aaany people say will outlive his own popularity as a .writer. It is serious 5ffort, telling a sometimes pathetic but always dramatic, story, original

n conception, strong and pointed in

climaxes, and always intensely inter-

sting. It has enough musical back-

;round to appeal to those who cravfi

he Cohanesque melodies, and Mr.

Cohan cleverly appeases these apne-

ites with four or five caulking good

gongs and plenty of Incidental music.

'Awakening of Mr. PIpp" Gennett.

The Cleveland Plain Dealer h?s

his to say of Charley Grape win and

lis company who will appear at the

GSennett next Tuesday night. "Musical comedies are all the rage and aaany of the best as well as some of

:he worst In the business have appeared in Cleveland during the past Lwo seasons. There seems the same !ault with all of them from a criti;al standpoint and that was that they were all built along the same lines ind when onejhad seen one of them iie feels that e has seen them all. 'ot so. There is a musical comedy it the Lyceum this week that is in a :lass by itself. It Is clever and well produced and even if the company tvas poor which It is, cot and the play tadly constructed, the comedy would be a decided novelty for it is like no jther ever seen in this city. "The Awakening of Mr. Pipp" as produced by Charley Grapewin and als excellent eompapny, is a strange and fascinating little drama. Tie

production is billed as a musical comedy, but instead tmight more appropriately be sfyl?d a musical drama for it has plenty of heart interest a clearly defined plot and what is more is a moral lesson to men who are in the habit of taking a "wee dron too much" on certain occasions. "What "Ten Nights in a Barroom" has been to the legitimate ctage, Mr. pipp fa to the legitimate stage, "Mr. Pipp" gives promise of being on the comedy boards. At any rate it is a novelty and many times worth the money. The man who we.nt away from the Lyceum Theatre Monday night unwilling to admit that he got his money's worth of entertainment, either wants the earth for a pittance or is a chronic crank.

Cole & Johnson Gennett. On next Wednesday night at the Gennett Manager Swisher will offer the latest theatrical surprise.

CAESAR AND CLEOPATRA.

The Forbn n.brrttou and Their Port my al of Theac Chsracteri. Shakespeare wrote a play about "Antony and Cleopatra," but it re-mn;u-;,l for George Bernard 8haw, the Euglith playwright who has had the hardihood to criticise the Bard, of Avon, to write a drama entitled "Caesar and Cleopatra." It is being played at a New York theater by Forbes Robertson, the noted English actor, and his wife, Gertrude Elliott, sister of Maxine Elliott. It is one of the principal subjects of conversation in theatrical circles both on account of the ability shown by Mr. and Mrs. Robertson ' in the Interpretation of the leading roles and because of the unconventional way in which the dramatist has treated the characters. Forbes Robertson is considered the greatest Hamlet of the. English stage
