For Men's and Boys' Spring Wear. Everythign that's new, everything that tasteful, everything that's good. In preparing for Easter, do not omit a visit to our up-to-date department. McFarlin Clothing Co., 110-112 Main Street, East. Everything but shows for men and boys. "David Harum." No announcement made this far this season has awakened greater interest or opened such strong anticipations of pleasure as the one to the effect that "David Harum" is to be presented at this house on Monday, April 9, by Charles Frohman with William H. Crane in the title role. The engagement is for one week, a period longer than Mr. Crane usually spends here, but one which on this occasion he will find only too short to satisfy all of those who will want to see him in the dramatization of Edward Noyes Westcott's novel. No book written during recent years has had so wide a sale as has "David Harum." The booksellers can tell you exactly how many hundred thousand copies have been sold, but who can even closely estimate its number of readers. Long before the book became so widely popular Mr. Frohman secured its dramatic rights. This was comparatively easy, but when he looked around for an actor fitted to play the part of the shrewd old banker – horsetrader, he could see but one man, just as many others could see but one man, but that man was unapproachable. This man was Crane. Mr Frohman bides his time and the work of dramatization, which had been entrusted to R. and Mr. W. Hitchcock, went right on. Finally some few months ago Mr. Frohman saw his way clear to making Mr. Crane a proposition and the actor seeing his way clear to accepting it, did so and now both men are subjects for congratulation, and the public is also subject for congratulation on what it will undoubtedly gain from the combination of the play, the actor, and the manager. Those who laughed over Harum's sayings in the book will laugh over them again in the play. They will see the wily Deacon Perkins buy David's bay mare with the nasty habit of balking, they will see John Lenon and his pretty sweetheart, Mary Blake, and they will see dear good hearted Aunt Polly busying herself to prepare her spare room for John after his long and weary struggle with the fare of Eagle Tavern. Homeville will be seen in all of its quaint atmosphere and moving through the play will be found all of the characters which made the book such interesting reading. No stone has been left unturned to adequately present the play before the public. The work of preparation has gone on for weeks untiringly. The rehearsals which have been under the direction of E. E. Rose have been thorough and the work has been cast with the utmost care. Mr. Crane was never so enthusiastic about any play he has ever had, and the character of Harum puts him, as every one has expected, down to the ground. Nothing short of phenomenal and lasting success is expected of the play, and nothing less will it likely receive. The sale of seats for the engagement opens to-morrow, April 5, 9 a.m. The Mackie Piano, Organ and Music Co. 100 State St., Sell Wholesale and Retail all the Music and Musical Instruments used here.
