nlleu, and Oh the succeeding nights inc
average attendance was what is genel-
ally expected of st. Paul. The bill for
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Sat
urday evenings was "a Game OF Cards"
MY Milliner's Bill" and 1.-The Rough
|. Diamond" On Thursday and Friday
evenings and at the Saturday matinee
were given I'm Honor Bound" 'tThe
Circus Rider and "a Pantomime Re-
hearsal." The only advantages 10 be
derived from having three One-act plays
produced in one evening, instead of
substantial bill of one play. are that at
the end of the first act the person
who finds it necessary to go out and see
man between the scenes may stay out
with clear conscience; and many
found it convenient to drop ill and see
the last play, who could not have gone
to the theater at So'clock. Miss VoKES
has the comfort of knowing that. though
Mrs. LANGTRY may find that her beauty
and elegant wardrobe are the means OF
attracting good houses, she can draw by
her acting alone, possessing neither the
gifts of the gods nor the costumes of
WORTH. No one would think of calling
Miss VoKES beautiful-she is not even
gO0d-loOking, but she has remarkable
tact, and is exceedingly graceful, and
ST. Paul people were well pleased with
her performances.

The play of "Dr. Jekyll and Mr..
HYDE" to be produced at the Peoples
this week, is dramatiZed from ROBERT
LOUIS STEVENsoN's strange story Of DR..
Jelyll and Mr.. Hyde. DIR. Jekyll is
student, a scholar, dreamer, the ideal
good man; he has f0ndneSs for the
discovers potion 10y which he can sep
arate the good and bad elements housed
in every human body. 1t enables him to
transform himself into MIR. Hyde, a
monster of deprayity, and thus crafty
all the gross and vile passions
without fear of detection; by it's
use he is also able to restore him
self to his own proper person.
Little by little, he yields to the int1u-
ence of the drug, as one may yield to
liquor OF an opiate; he loses control Of
his better self; the evil gains dominion
and controls him. Jekyll is trans
formed into Hyde without the drug; i'll
the end the drug is exhausted, he can
not supply some peculiar property
which the original potion possessed,
and at last, wearied with the struggle,
and fearing they may come and find
him when the throes of the change are
on him, there is no escape save by the
death of suicide. The moral is self.
evident.
