William Hodge

One of the really delightful events of the theatrical season in any city, is the appearance of that droll comedian, William Hodge; especially is this the case when he appears in a new play. One of these worth-while occasions will occur locally at the Wilbur Theatre, Boston, next Monday, Columbus Day, Oct. 13, when Mr. Lee Shubert will present William Hodge in his brand-new play, "The Guest of Honor." It is a comedy romance of New York life in three acts. So consistently successful have been the several plays in which Mr. Hodge has appeared in since his phenomenal success in "The Man From Home," that his legion of devoted admirers apparently never question in advance the success of a new play. In this instance, it is said, this faith and confidence will be more than justified, for Mr. Hodge believes that in "The Guest of Honor" he has the happiest vehicle of many seasons. It is a typical American play for a typical American actor, who, as usual, has surrounded himself with a group of admirable players including: Jennie Lamont, Miriam McCauley, Jane Miller, Jane Houston, Katherine Brook, Graham Lucas. Scott Cooper, Brigham Royce, George Lund, Howard Morgan, Charles W. Butler, J. Albert Hall, David A. Leonard, and George Syndham.
