Discount | “Why are so many more people coming to the Sale these days—more than a week ago?” we asked the Furniture Chief. “Because they are realizing that February {s slipping by—and that the opportunity to get our good furniture at a discount will soon be gone,” he replied.

It seems im- possible for the attaches of the theatre to sell tickets fast enough to satisfy all of the thousands and thousands of people who want to see the most talked of play of this day and generation, the greatest success ever known in the history of the American stage—the gigantic and overwhelm- ingly stupendous production of the gorgeously staged drama of Biblical life, entitled “The Wanderer,” written by Maurice V. Samuels and presented by William Elliott, F, Ray Comstock and Morris Gest. There Are Times When Words Fail— and this is one of then. The mere use of superlative adjectives cannot begin to convey an ade= quate idea of the immense “knock-out” hit which has been achieved by ‘The Wanderer.’ Too often the poor dictionary has been abused and robbed of its brightest and most brilliant adjec- tives by unscrupulous press agents seeking to make the public believe that every show pro- duced on Broadway is a “hit.” We believe the public has grown weary of reading such extrava- gant and high-falutin’ nonsense about every new show, and so instead of piling Ossa upon Pelion in competition with every so-called’ Broadway “hit” employing a word-juggler to impress the public, the management of ‘The Wanderer”’ merely invites any one interested to get the ACTUAL FACTS regarding the hundreds and hundreds of people who are being turned away at every per- formance of this great play at the Manhattan Opera House. When You Find People in Line at 8 A. M. already clamoring for tickets for this great show you must know that THERE IS A REASON. That reason is found in the fact that EVERY ONE who sees “The Wanderer” sends dozens of friends to see it. This endless chain of ever-widening popularity has caused a tidal wave of moun- tainous proportions to sweep through the lobby of the Manhattan Opera House and overwhelm, the ticket sellers. We are doing the best we can to accommodate every one, and are selling tickets for ‘The Wanderer” Ss eight weeks in advance, so that if you don’t get the exact seats you want because you delay too N long in buying them, YOU MUST NOT BLAME US. Weare giving you FAIR WARNING. KY Yesterday We Quoted a Few Critics: | To-day we are going to quote a few more, You can take any morning or afternoon paper of February 2d, the day after ‘The Wanderer”’ had its first performance in this country, and we challenge you to find ONE CRITICISM which is not couched in superlative terms of praise for this great show. We now pick at random:— yy LLY Laurence Reamer of The Sun Said: Z y “ “The Wanderer’ is a vivid panorama. The parable from the Bible told in spoken drama at the [%} Manhattan Opera House pleases a vast audience. Simplicity and beauty in every episode of this ¥ Belasco-ized play. Of its immediate popular success therg can be no doubt. It seems possible N to foresee long prosperity for it.”” N Louis Sherwin of The Globe Said: “When all is said and done and written, our passion for fine acting cannot be flouted. We get so precious little of it that we are frequently compelled to doubt whether it ever existed. But last night there occurred one of those experiences that do not happen often in the life-time of even the most hopeful player. There were the resources of the American stage strained to the utmost in ‘The Wanderer’ to produce the last word in spectacular and dramatic effect. Then Nance O’Neil walked on, and in five minutes of superb declamation proceeded to act scenery and lights and costumes and everything off the boards. It was an unforgettable moment that she gave us. The show is a lavish and spectacular setting for the most popular and dramatic of all parables, It includes a variety of elements to appease every variety of taste.”” Burns Mantle of The Mail Said: “*The Wanderer’ is beautifully pictured and well acted. There is no describing the beauties of this biggest of Biblical plays since first ‘Ben Hur’ startled the theatre world. They are both mas- sively and strikingly colored and the vast sweep of the Manhattan stage is completely filled with them, And there is more real acting than in any other half dozen plays on Broadway.”” From All Over theWorld PilgrimsWill Come to see “The Wanderer,” the greatest aid to real religion the stage has ever contributed to the Church. Telegrams and mail orders have been received at the Manhattan every day since the MMOL & “4 Y N | run of this play began, asking for seat reservations. Like the Passion Play of Oberammergau, N “The Wanderer”’ is destined to become the Mecca of the pilgrims from all over the world to see \ | this wonderful story taken from the Bible and presented on a scale of gorgeous magnificence by \ IN a company of 250 people, including some of the greatest artists on the American stage.
