praised by eiery newspaper ciitic as one of the greatest moral plays
and the finest entertainment eer presented in this city.
Now Philadelphia is about to see this great play once more. It
will be the last and the only opportunity that will be afforded Iheatro
goers of Philadelphia to witness the most vonderful play in America,
"EXPERIENCE."
The great METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE, the home of grand
opera in Philadelphia, the superb amusement edifice of which this city
is justly proud, has selected "EXPERIENCE" as the holiday attraction
to be gien on its spacious stage during Christinas and New Year
weeks
Tho original production of "EXPERIENCE" t illi the same big
cast that appeared in this play a jear ago will be seen at the METRO
POLITAN OPERA HOUSE for two weeks only, beginninr; .Monday
evening, December 2-Hh. It will be ptesented at a scale of prices with
in the reach of all, w ith $1.50 charged for tho best orchestra seats, with
six hundred first floor scats at $1 at every performance and with a
bargain matinee each Wednesday, when the cutiro lower floor will be
$1.00.
Holiday matinees will be ghen on Tuesday, December "5th
(Christmas) and on Tuesday,- January 1st (New Year's Day).
Seats for all performances will go on sale- at the box cOico of the
METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE and at the dcfviittwu ticket office,
1108 Chestnut Street, on MONDAY, DECEMBER lOthf
Get seats immediately for these holidays and for New Year's Eve,
Monday night, December 31st. The enormous demand for scats for
"EXPERIENCE" indicates that even the gigantic capacity of tho
METROPOLITAN OPERA HOUSE will be taxed to its utmost limit
to accommodate all who desire to see the most wonderful play in
America.
REMEMBER, if you miss "EXPERIENCE" this tinie, you will
never haro a chance to see it again. Its extraordinary success has
been such that other cities are clamoring for it and there is no possi
bility of presenting this play again in Philadelphia,
