Week of January 25, 1904. Maxine Elliott in "Her Own Way." Miss Maxine Elliott will appear at the National Theatre during the week of Monday January 25th. In Clyde Fitch's newest and best play, "Her Own Way," under the management of Charles B. Dillingham. Miss Elliott comes here direct from one of the most novel and unusual runs ever recorded in New York. Owing to her extraordinary success in "her Own Way" when the comedy was produced at the Garrick Theatre in New York last September. Miss Elliott's engagement was three times prolonged, and she was shifted to three other New York Theatres, on order that her stay in New York might be extended to the utmost possible limit. Three times her engagement in this city has been changed. In order that she might remain in New York but her positive appearance in "Her Own Way" is now scheduled for the week commencing January 25th. "Her Own Way" is undoubtedly Clyde Fitch's greatest play. There has been no division of opinion regarding this comedy and Miss Elliott's great success. She has a role which is ideally suited to her personality and temperament, and it ranges from the lightest of comedy in the first act, to the strongest emotional climax in the third act. The [?][?] with a beautiful American girl who insisted upon having her own way in her own love affair, and by resisting the efforts of her family to make her marry a man she doesn't love, she wins happiness in the end. The scenes took place in New York of to-day and there are many scenes and character sketches which will be recognized as true portraits of real life. Miss Elliott has been surrounded by a [?] supporting company and Manager [?] [?] will present the complete cast and production now appearing in New York. Among the [?] in Miss Elliott's company are Charles Cherry, William Beach, R. C. Herz. Franklin Hurleigh, B. M. Parmenter, Miss Thorne, Miss Georgie Lawrence, Miss Eva Vincent, Miss Susanne Perry, Master Donald Gallaher, and little Miss Beryl Morse. Order "Ceres" Flour Best in the World Minnesota Patent.

"Three Little Maids" "The Three Little Maids," which ran over a year in London, and which has scored such a tremendous success at Daly's and the Garden Theatre, New York, will be presented by Charles Frohman and George Edwardes at the National Theatre next week. The universal verdict of the audiences who have seen this delightful play is, that it is a charming combination of handsome women, catchy music, attractive songs and unflaggingly funny lines. There is not a moment of the performance that is dull and hardly a second of it that is without a laugh. The performance is replete with fun from start to finish and the musical numbers are of the sort which is readily taken up by the public and whistled and hummed by everybody. It is one of the prettiest, the merriest and the most melodious musical comedy that threatre-goers have had a chance to enjoy for years. All the wonderful records made by musical plays have been broken by the "Three Little Maids." Its sons are original, its women beautiful, and in George P, Huntley, the leading comedian, it has an exponent of fun-making who is not only original, but who stands alone in his ability to portray a character like Lord Cheyn. Other features which have contributed to the enormous success of the musical comedy are Eliza Ryan's song. "She Was a Miller's Daughter," and several songs sung by Maurice Farkoa, and Madge Crichton's songs "Men" and "My Gal Sal." Following is the story of the play: The piece is in three acts, the first taking place on the golf links at the home of Lady St. Mallory. It is the opening of her links, and in honor of the occasion she has invited all her London friends to be present. Among these are Lord Cheyn, De Lorme and Brian Molyneux. Soon after their arrival these gentlemen meet the three little maids, daughters of the Rev. Theodore Branscombe, the local vicar and are so capitivated bu their charms that they waver in their duty toward the three society ladies to whom they have hitherto been paying their attentions. The hostess, following the fashionable craze for shop-keeping, has opened a tea shop in Bond Street, and the three little maids, anxious to assist their father, become tea girls in Lady St. Mallory's shop. Their farewell to home and friends brings the first act to a bright and brisk conclusion. The second act takes place in the shop which, with its Dutch fittings and girls in quaint costumes, makes an effective stage picture. Hither the three men come, but with the exception of Brian, they fail to recognize the tea girls as the three little maids. The society ladies, however, are aware of the presence of the "country mice" in the tea shop, and anxious to bring their swains to a sense of duty, they disguise themselves as tea girls. This ruse, however, recoils on themselves, for while they are changing their costumes, the three little maids don motor coats and depart with the men for Lady St. Mallory's home. In the third act, during the progress of a ball given by Lady St. Mallory, the three men again discover their little country friends, and the inevitable follows. There will be a matinee on Saturday only. Splendid stock of Furs, Suits, Wraps, Waists, etc., for Women's Wear. Everything that's stylish, that has quality to recommend it.

The limit of quality. The Quintessence of Style. Parker-Bridge Clothing. Our power to provide knows only the limit of your necessity. The "every-day" suit (the business suit) is the one most spoken of – but it has contemporary lines here whose stocks are but little short of the business suit scope and less broad in variety only for the reasons that fashion limits a man's wardrobe. We provide not only the day, but the afternoon and evening dress of equal elegance, and the excellencies of one kind but speak for the excellencies of the other. You slip into a Dress Suit or Tuxedo, a Prince Albert, a Walking Coat, or the Conventional Slack, and find your ideas of style better in the reality of our clothing than the picture of the ideal you had conjured up for yourself. Parker, Bridget & Co., Head to foot outfitters 9th and Pa. Avenue. Annie Russell at The New National Theatre. Six Nights and Saturday Matinee. The title of "Mice and Men" which Annie Russell will present at the New National Theatre, Monday, January 11th is manifestly suggested by the lines from Burns: "The best laid schemes o'mice and men, gang aft a-gley." "Mice and Men" was originally produced in London, where it ran for over a year. The play was immediately secured by Charles Frohman for the use of Miss Annie Russel, and the first performance in this country was on the stage of the New National Theatre. Washington. It was an immediate success and Miss Russell played to one of the largest week's business of the season. After the production in Washington but one other city was visited and "Mice and Men" was then presented at the Garrick Theatre, New York where is played to a succession of crowded houses and was only taken off when the warm weather made it necessary for Miss Russell to take a rest. The production, which is a large one, will be the same as seen here during the last engagement, and there has been but one change in the case since that time: Oswa'd York, [?] was for a long time one of the leading members of Charles Frohman's Empire Theatre Stock Company, having succeeded Orrin Johnson as Miss Russell's leading man. John Mason, John Glend[?] and dear old Mrs. Gilbert are sure to be heartily welcome on their return in "Mice and Men." A short synopsis of the story follows: Mark Embury is a middle aged bachelor with peculiar notions and theories. He tires of his lonesome life, and decides to have wife, but to his mind there is no woman suitable. So he decides to select a young Miss and train her. He inspects the inhabitants of the foundling asylum, and chooses "Little Britain" otherwise known as Peggy, who is taken into his house in order to be educated for the position – as he supposes – is to fill. Embury has a nephew. Captain George Lovell who is a mater of fact, has been carrying on a pronounced flirtation with Mrs. Joanna [?] [?] wife of Roger Goodlake, an old friend of Embury, but Lovell is much attracted by the simple fascinations of Peggy and Peggy promptly falls in love with him. Peggy has no idea of her guardian's purpose, but in the second act, when she has been his [?] for a couple of years, he finds that his sentiments have strengthened, and in a great measure altered. He had intended to marry Peggy in order to obtain a companion and [?] [?] in due time a nurse. He now wants to marry her because she has found her way to his heart. In the end, the self-sacraficing old bachelor keenly as he feels the shattering of his great scheme, and the loss of the women he loves stands aside and gives her to Lovell. The only matinee during the engagement of Miss Russell will be given on Saturday. Great cut prices in New Year's goods – ¼ off all former prices. Wine glasses 40c to 60c per doz.
