John W. Mckinney, who has had en-
tire charge Of Clara Morris tour this
year, is in town attending to the prelim-
inaries OF that actress engagement
which will commence at the Grand
opera, next Thursday, Feb. 2.
MI. Mckinney has SO arranged Miss
Norris tour as to avoid long jour
neys, and allow her four weeks
of rest, Christmas week and that prd-
ceding it, and Holy week and the one
before it. By these precautions it is
hoped that Miss Morris will continue III
the good health which she enjoys now;
and which is much better than she has
enjoyed for fifteen years. Miss Norris
engagement is for three nights and Sat-.
urday matinee only The great actress
her new and highly successful play Of
the same name which was produced for
the first time in the East during her re-
cent engagement at the Grand opera
house, New York city. The play is
without doubt the strongest and most
satisfactory of any with which the name
of Clara Morris has yet been as
,sOciated. Founded on the great
love of a daughter for her
mother, for whom she sacrifices
all that life holds dear to her, it arouses
the sympathy of an audience and ar
rests their attention from the beginning
of the first act until the curtain falls in
the fifth and last act, with everything
explained and happiness and content
ment supreme. The play was originally
produced by Miss Morris at the Bald
win theater, San Francisco, last season
and mad an instantaneous hit. It is an
adaptation of D'Ennery's famous novel
''La Martyre" by Clinton Stuart. In the
character of Renee Ghe martyr mother)
Miss Morris is seen at her best, and all
critics declare that the part is exactly
fitted to her peculiar powers and one
that displays her great genius to its best
advantage. Renee de Moray will be
presented On Thursday night, On Fri
day Miss Morris great success, L'Arti-
Gle AZ will be presented, and ON Satur-
day, matinee and evening, the great
play of alike" will be the bill. The
sale of seats will be open tomorrow in
the managers office of the Grand.

with elephants, horses, camels and
other features in the pageant, ballet, ac-

Newton Gothold appears in the title
role.
Tonight at the Hennepin Avenue
theater, Miss Agnes Herndon will pro-
duce her comedy, ga Masquerade"
This will be first production. In New
York a ''first night" is quite an event,
and as half of the proceeds of the per-
formance go to the employees of the
theater, the double event will no doubt
fill the house. During the past
week Miss Herndon has ap-
peared in two roles, entirely
opposite in character, and has
shown herself to be an artist worthy of
the patronage of amusement loving
people. No actress on our stage is more
endowed with those requisites that
make success, the fair lady having great
talent, a remarkable voice, and wonder
full play of features. The play of to-
night is one that Eastern managers are
looking forward to, as Miss HerndOn
with a good comedy has the pleasing
knowledge of knowing, New York
run at the Union Square = is awaiting her.
The productions of Dion Boucicault
are having great run at the Peoples
theater, which is really doll g the
steadiest and most satisfactory business
in the city. 1t has no ups and downs,
but everything is an up. This week,
beginning tonight, it will pre-
sent another of Boucicault's, the
popular ''Octoroon." The story
is probably too we'll known
to require an outline. Miss Wellesley
will appear in the title role and Mr..
Barbour the leading part of Solon
Scudder, the whiting Yankee who al
ways appears at the right time. Mr..
Barringer will be seen for the first time
in the part of the villain, McCIoskey.
The play will run all week and will be
produced with the aid of new scenery
and all proper stage accessories.
