Ford’s Grand Opera House

The New Year will be celebrated by a charm-ing production of George Adc's famous Ameri-can football play founded on college life in thiscountry.

The idea of this play originated in the readingof some verses he had written for his college re-union. entitled “The College Widow," and itwas not until after he had become prominent asa playwright with a umber of long running suc-cesses to his account that the idea of “The Col-lege Widow" suggested itself

When Mr. Savage two years ago secured thelease of the Garden Theatre. New York, hecalled on Mr. Ade for a new play; he respondedby submitting a detailed scenario of "The Col-lege \\ idow.”

The freshness of its topic, the range in char-acter studies, and the opportunity for surround-ings struck Mr. Savage as just the thing hemost wanted, and Mr. Ade revived in merrymanuscript the impressions of his student dayson the campus at Lafayette.

The College Widow was first produced inW ashington before a distinguished audience,including Admiral Dewey, Gen. Fred Grant andPaul Morton, then Secretary of the Navv, whooccupied a box together and thoroughly enjoy-ed the jolly musical farce.

The play score' a success in Xew York thatwas electric; it had a run of 38 weeks there andnot until the past summer did the outside coun-try have a chance to get acquainted with it.

Thee ompany is an excellent one. includingthe stage favorites Frances Ring. Ivy Traut-man. Gertrude Quinlan, Louise Forde, MaryMcG.. Thomas Meighan. George Bryant, EdwinFlolt, Dan Collyer, Stephen Maley, Fred Bur-ton. Morgan Coman. E. V. Backus, DouglasWood. Stuart Tabor.
