were accompanied only by the black

been so frequently tested that no was

Lille could not refrain from telling the
little episode Of the hollow oak and sub

drowned while on q pleasure excursion

Havlin's New Theatre.

"Complete in all its details, one of the hand somest houses in America" Is the verdict of those who have seen Havlin's new theatre on Wabash avenue. The lessee and manager, Mir. John H. Havlin, comes to Chicago with . record of un- broken success. He now conducts prosperous theatres In Cincinnati and St. Louis, and promises that the new Wabash avenue house shall be first class In its attractions and its appointments Mr. ]. s. Hutton is the acting manager of the theatre
 Havlin's will be opened Saturday evening, July 27th, with elaborate production of Lecocq's charming opera, "The Pretty Persian" with Laura Bellini in the title role, supported by the Norcross Opera company. "The Pretty Persian" musically, Is one of the most delightful of Lecocq's produc- tions, and has the record of two long and success ful runs in London. The opera has never been pro- duced In Its entirety In America, and its introduc tion to Chicago play goers will be an event. The cast includes number of we'll known names, besides . chorus of fifty voices. Of Bellini 1t Is hardly necessary to utter words of praise. She has made herself c favorite in Chicago already with the Emma Abbott Opera company and afterward in "The Gypsy Baron"
