Nat G. Goodwin will play a weeks en-
gagement at the Grand opera house,
commencing tomorrow night. The sale
or seats has been unusually large, and
ten tickets have been limited to each
person, thus enabling every one to see
Mr.. Goodwin during the season. 1t has
now been three years since Mr.. Good
win appeared in Minneapolis, and in
the interim he has taken first place
among living comedians. His work has
been extended and his repertory con-
sists of roles that are admirably adapt
ed to show his wonderful versatility.
During the engagement double bill
will be presented. The first day of the
week will be devoted to the production
OF "Tuned Up" very funny new farce
comedy by Mark Melford, and LEND
Me Five Shillings." On Thursday, Fri
day and Saturday Mr.. Goodwin will APP
pear as Blizzard. in "COnfuSiOn," and
will also be seen as Golightly in LEND
Me Five Shillings." The company, sup
ported by Mr.. Goodwin, is a superior
organization and includes among its
members S. Miller Kent, Herbert
Ayling and Lillian Lee.
George W. Floyd, who manages Nat
c. Goodwin, the comedian, is known to
eiiO PlOlOoOiOH 90 lCOD1
on account of his religious tendencies.
George is one of the few managers who
is very straight-laced, who teaches a
Sunday school at NOOnsocket, Mass, in
the summer and abhOrs rum. A good
joke is told on him. Last week Miss
Montague, who is one of the 1.-The
limbed beauties of Rice's Corsair, sent a
note to him to the effect that she
contemplated starring next season and
wanted manager. "Would he be kind
enough to call on her during the per-
fOrmance." George with much Puritan
sterness would not go back on the stage
until she consented to throw wrapper
over her pink-tinted tights.
"Harbor Lights" French and San
gers new nautical melodrama, will fol-
low Nat G. Goodwin at the Grand.
y. ii. Briggs will be presented with
cane by Nat Goodwin on Monday night
at the Grand Opera, for making the rec
ord in the benefit ball game between
the lawyers and newspaper fiends.
The Jerusalem cyclOTama, at Mime

week. This great work merits liberal
patronage.

the coming week will please all lovers

commencing tonight, will be devoted
to the production of that highly sensa-
tional melodrama 'Scamps of London"
On Thursday evening and for the bal
ance of the week, Manager Book

Christie" appearing as Edward Dantes.
The play has been seen before at the
Pence, and has always drawn large
audiences. The time of performances
in the evening has been changed to S:15
instead of $50, as has been the previous
custom.

the first production of Joaquin Miller's
'"49, or the Child of the Sierias," in
this city. The play ranks with the
famous "Danites." 1t is story of life
in California during the early mining

in many places thrilling. There are
traces of the part here and there, and |
plenty of the humor and pathos of life |
