A short time since Otis Skinner played a week in Virginia, a state that has recently gone dry with a set of prohibition laws that overlooks no single trace of the demon rum. The first act of "Mister Antonio," the new comedy by Kooth Tarkington, in which Mr. Skinner will be seen at the Oliver theater for a single performance only on Thursday evening, May 10, takes place in a bar room, and the Virginia officials got busy as soon as the show reached the old dominion. All the whisky bottles were banished from the stage and the decorative placards that advertised the virtue of the various brands of liquor were ordered from the wall. The stage manager was permitted to hang up a few advertisements of nar beer and rape-juice to give some degree of verisimilitude to the scene. The colored porter of the theater in Richmond watched these proceedings and shook his head sadly: "I dun taste them near beer," he said, "they look like beer, dey foam jes' like beer, and dey sorter taste like beer, but dey ain't got a partikkle u v conversation in none uv 'em."

She is to be seen at the LaSalle today in a new screen play, "A School for Husbands. ' The idea Is not particularly new but it is well presented. A plain little home-loving wife tinds friend husband becoming interested in a gay widow and in order to win him back conveniently inherits a private fortune and proceeds to blossom out. It is comedy of the refined sort and allowances can be made for some thin.es thai are a bit inconsistent.
