first appearance in this city in his two
latest successes, 1.-The Woman Hater' and
1.-The Magistrate" The Woman Hater,"
which will be played Monday evening and
Wednesday matinee, is David Loyd's new
and eccentric comedy. 1t is in four acts
and in construction resembles the current
style of German comedy. 1t is full of gro
tesque situations, giving fine opportunity
for display of that peculiar grotesQue
humor with which Mr.. Raymond immor-

mistake furnish an immense amount of fun,
a part of which is furnished by Raymond's
inimitably funny style of acting. 1.-THE
Magistrate" is a thoroughly clean, jolly
play. with an easy flow of merriment all
the way through. Mr.. Raymond takes the
character of the Magistrate, who has mar
ried widow with son, who succeeds in
leading his respected stepfather into no end
of cOmical adventures, and mixed up the
whole family in such way that the Mag
istrate is compelled to try them all the next
morning in his own police court except the
hopeful Stepson. who manages to keep
himself out of the Scrape. Mr.. Raymond
is said to be supported by an excellent COM
PAW. Kellar, who commences his engage
ment Thursday evening. has the reputation
of being the most deXtrous slight -of-hand
performer in the world. Notwithstanding
every effort at exposure many of his tricks
still remain wrapped in unfathOmable mys-
terry. Duf's Opera company will be here

FOYER FAKES.
If Nate Salisbury didn't draw big houses he
had the salts faction of knowing that bis ex-
penses are not heavy. His company consists
of four of a kind and no extras.
John 7. Raymond and Edouin, while taking
walk together in Chicago last week, were
mistaken for Episcopal clergymen. The de-

Marietta Nash is in the line of promotion.
She has still higher position before her. A
comedian of her qualities can't stay in the
kitchen forever.
The Duff Opera company, which will be
here next week, has full line of big stars in
the cast, including Jabbeau, Seguin and
Lillian Russell.
Gene Garfield and Marietta Nash make
