“The Way's the Thing,” by Henry ; Kehler will be the second presentation. The story of the eternal tri- I angle—actor, actress, and society girl j —it takes place in an out-of-door restaurant. The third drama. “The World Goes a Begging.” by Sterling Silliphant is the story of a ‘'balmy''
I individual who believes he is another Emperor Jones.
