A scene from THE FORTUNE HUNTER

As THE OLD BLIND MILLER

The Work of Mr. Elliott

Mr. Elliott for years has stood for the lyceum as the moral and intellectual substitute for the theatre. He takes some play that has been a great success and credit to the stage, and arranges it into a concise story told by the characters. These characters are acted out, made real living people—no wigs, scenery nor costumes are employed, but you are made to see the play as vividly almost as if acted out by a company of players, and it is given with an artistic unity, a definiteness of purpose and in an atmosphere impossible in any stage performance.

For this season will again be featured four of the greatest dramatic and comedy successes presented on the platform, given by Mr. Elliott on hundreds of courses from Coast to Coast. The Fortune Hunter, The Lion and the Mouse, The Man of the Hour, and The Man from Home.

As dramas, they stand pre-eminent in success, mission and moral. Great, vital and All-American. Mr. Elliott makes of them an entertainment of purpose, a sermon without preaching, the drama without the theatre. Space permits special mention of only two of these.

The Fortune Hunter

The most perfect modern American Comedy ever written, telling an original, very amusing, pathetic and beautiful story of the every-day life of every-day, real, human people, and you cannot help but become intensely interested because one of the characters is
your own self
—maybe. In his presentation of Mr. Winchell Smith's great comedy Mr. Elliott has reached the acme of his career.

The Lion and the Mouse

A Story of American Life. One of the most human, vital, thrilling stories ever presented. Arranged from Chas. Klein's great play which had the phenomenal run of eight hundred nights in New York City alone. A fascinating story that holds you like a vise, and makes you laugh without any effort to be funny. A story with a message that makes men and women think. As powerful as a sermon.
