It Is doubtful if any drama in recent seasons has aroused more comment than this . dramatization . of. Meredith Nicholson's popular novel. Its name alone is suggestive of the unusual theme which pervades the story. Its mystery Is delightful and its weirdness enchanting. The spectator at once falls Into sympathy with the grim servant "Bates" which will be played by Wil liam Webb, a well known Broadway actor, while the story based upon the most surprising incidents to be found in either the book or in fiction is of a highly entertaining kind. Laura Lor raine, a pleasing actress, will appear as Marion Devereaux, a , sprightly and bewitching heroine. Each of the four acts is staged with special scenery and every detail of the production will be found consistent with the high class attraction that is offered. , At the Murray. "The 'Hoboes' which' has been a popular headliner jit the Murray this week closes its engagement here tonight and as a satire on tramp life it introduces a number of interesting songs and characteristic scenes of such life. Nat C. Baker, the Italian impersonator, is the big .feature of this act. The Cattle Thief, comedy ? dramatic playlet, is presented by Livingston and company.
