"FOR REVENUE ONLY'

Milton Nobles' New Comedy

Pleases Everybody.

For Revenue Only" is a bright,sparkling comedy in the nature ofa satire on politics. Nobles in therole of Tom Knowall, a reporter,space writer and all round liar (forrevenue only) assumes editorialcontrol of a political organ, TheEvening Blast," for Jefferson Rot-ter, a banker who seeks politicalglory and runs for congress on thethird party ticket. Knowall man-

ages his campaign incident towhich is a committee meetingwhere Knowall succeeds admirablyin. conciliating the various factionstherein. This is a great scene andthe house gets its money's worth.

The newspaper scene is wherethe audience roars. It is a realisticscene. The candidates who havebeen roasted in the "Blast" demandretractions and apologies. Theyget a terrible drubbing Irom thecourgeous Bohemian. It is a greatshow and deserves S. R. O. houses.

The various characters were wellassumed. Dollie Nobles was sweet.winsome and charming as RoseMerrywin. niece of the congressional candidate and the Bohemian'ssweetheart.

Eventually the newspaper manproves to be the son of the millionaire congressional aspirant, wnowas defeated, and the broad gulf ofpoverty no longer separated himfrom the rirl he loves.

The coming of that representative player, Milton Nobles, is al-ways an interestiti"- - and welcomeevent. Ilis present visit will berlriiiKli' i ti f.r.fcit i ntr

-

as ne will appear in a new corned- - in wlncli liehas made a wonderful series ofsuccessful engagements in Chicago.St. Louis. San Francisco and finallyat the Union Square Theater, NewYork City. Mr. Nobles is doublysupported by Dolly Nobles and aspecially selected company. Thenew play is called "For RevenueOnly" and is as full of clean, wholesome tun as a nut is ot meat, it is

lauirh from start to finish. Asthe title indicates, politics andpoliticians play a prominent partin the actions, and all are satirizedin a freehanded, breezy way thatamuses witnout stinging. ilLloyd's opera house, Thursday,Jan'y 10th.
