Dear Mr. Winniett: . , ■ ■ Played Mabel S. Kcigntlcy'a play, -THE JUDGMENT OF MEN,- at the 5th Avenue, Brooklyn, to a very big week's butincia. The play U O. K. in every oease of tbe word. All rts are good-and the story great; the situations' immense and tbe comedy is excellent. my opinion tbe play is worthy ol a New York production and can easily be classed as a "sure-fire" stock play. Any stock wanting a good, clean drama with a "kick" can't go wrong on "Tbe'Judgment of Men." I have paid the big figures for many so-called successes, which were not half as good, Hope yon have more like it to offer me. . . Yours most truly, (Signed) W. O. MacWamars.
