here before, several of its members
have, and the majority are known to
theater goers. While the press opinions
of the company's performances are
unanimous in their praise. Yet one is
able to judge of the eXcellency of its
acting strength by mere perusal of the
names cast for the various comedies in
their repertoire. Among the more
prominent comedians are Adele Waters,
Lily VintOn, Mrs. Clara Fisher Maeder,
Nelly Howard, Ada Deaves, Al l..
Lipman, George Parkes, Harry Hotto,
d. g. Longworth and Harold
Russell. Nearly all the members
of Mr.. Rehan's company have been
in Days theater. New York, and have
been before the public in the greatest
companies. AS it is claimed, it is GER
tainly without doubt the strongest or
ganiZation travelling. Since Jim, the
Penman" was presented here, Mime
apoliS has not seen carefully selected
c0mpany-a company that givesa power
full ensemble. This Manager Rehan
promises to give theater gOerS.
Of Mr.. Rehan'S comedies: This man
ager has the sole right to produce
AuguStin Daly'S comedies, and SO close
is the connection that Mr.. Daily selects
the company himself and personally re-
hearse there, so that they give as per-
feet performance as an artistic mind
and a great stage manager can evolve.
Two of M. Days latest successes,
"Nancy and Company" and Love in
Harness." will be presented during the
engagement. Nancy and Company
Wednesday and Thursday. "'Love in
Harness" will be presented the remain
der of the week. Regular prices only
prevail, and Manager Conklin Will stage
the comedies in most magnificent
manner.

AT THE PEOPLES.
The Peoples theater has been pop
nlar amusement resort from the day its
doors were opened, but it has never be-
fore given stronger proof of its drawing
powers than during holy week, which
has just closed the Lenten season.
"Our Country Cousin" was greeted
nightly, and at matinees as well, by
occasions tested the seating capacity
Of the house. The comedy is
a bright one, with dialogue that is
generally amusing and rarely serious,
but its eXactionS upon company that
has taken it up for only a weeks run
are greater than Is apparent to the cas-
ual observer. Taken all in all, the pro-
duction was a creditable one. Tonight
"The Colleen Bawn, or the Brides of
Garryaven," is to be put Oh for the COM
ing week. This dramatic drama
is generally regarded as the
strongest piece to. which the
name of Boucicault is attached as
author, although it is in reality
1.-THE Collegians." Its plot is some
what complicated one, which deals
largely with cross purposes, but carries
the story of secret marriage through to
a happy finale without allowing
the interest to flag. Edwin Bar
bour appears as Myles-Na-Coppaleen;
j. B. Brown as Hardness Cregan;
Miss Marie Wellesley as Ann Chute;
Miss Daisey Lowering as Ely O'Connor,
the Colleen BaWn. Some elaborate
scenic effects have been designed by
Mr.. HURT, and Prof. Carl Wolfe has
arranged splendid musical programme
of Irish melodies. 1t is expected that
the attendance from the Crusaders and
other Irish societies will be large, and
the piece is doubtless destined to have
prosperous run.

AT THE PENCE.
The attendance at the Pence opera
house during the past week was uni
formly good, considering its being Holy
week, with the standard French drama,
"EuStache Baudin," as the all-powerful
feature. The play is pleasing and gen.
orally liked by the audiences, and most
creditably enacted by the company.
Miss Josie Bacon, j. P. Connolly and
Fulton Russell, especially, being worthy
Of high commentator.
''Married Life" a laughable comedy
by II. j. Blackstone, will be placed OH
The boards this evening, and will con-
tinue throughout the week, with
Wednesday and Saturday matinees.
Mr. Murray will appear in the role of
Henry Dove, an excellent comedy part,
and one directly in Mr.. Murray's special
line, and it is safe to say it will be finely
played. This comedy is very popular
wherever played, bubbling over with
fun and wit. 1t will be cast very strong
Iy, richly dressed and mounted with
new and appropriate scenery.
