thusiastic applause, but In addition to
all these the management has seen fit
to Introduce catchy mualcal number* In
which a bevy of young and pretty
girls assls^ And the third act has been

"Raffles.”
"Raffles” la frankly a detective story
told In a speech and action, with abutf-
dsnt suspense and surprise, on the
stage. It Is also the most Interesting
detective story thnt has been told there
since the days of "Jim, the Penman.'
Better still. It has a central character,
beside whom “The Penman" was only a
commonplace forger who affected a re
spectable life In respectable surround-
Inn. Raffles is a man at the world.
a porta man, a bit of a philosopher, even
a sentimentalist, as well as an uncom
monly clever thief. Mr. Kent blends
these three sides of the character Into
a plausible and highly Interesting hu
man figure. It Is the Ingenious and the
mogi persuasive .piece of acting he has
done In many a day. Beats are now on
sale at the Orand box office.

The bill at the Star this week gives
the chorus, which Is made up of a lot
of handsome young women dressed In
stunning costumes, a chance to show
their ability and training, and judging

the usual amount of gun play - and
thrilling climaxes. The entire bill
sterns to pleas* the Star Audiences and
will probably be one of the successes
of the season.
