Announcements for the Week.
"The Eyiles of Siberia" the new
play by Manager w. E. Sterling, was
put on the boards at the Peoples thea
ter last evening for weeks run. 1t
proved to be strong melodrama of q
somewhat familiar type, full of snow,
top boots and fur-trimmed OvercOatS.
The plot is well-Woven one, and the
interest is strongly sustained. There
are always opportunities i'll Russian
drama for elaborate scenic display, and
"The EXiles of Siberia is no eXcep-
ton. The stage decorations last hight
were very effective. The Peoples
has set high standard in scenic art,
and the settings are always creditable.
John w. Burton as the Siberian jay,
Tollicotf, made the comedy hit of the
evening. With short boots, green pan
falcons. red stockings and coat that

drunk, he was the butt of the gallery
ard was cheered till the ratters rang.
He has a scene with two Siberian maid
ems, misses Kemp and Douglass where
in he engages himself to both and gets
into what Hon. Loren Fletcher calls a
''h--l OF a fix in consequence.
This bit of by-play pleased
the audience immensely. The

Order of FOrester's will have benefit.
Jessaline Rogers made her second APP
pearance in the role of Chip, the ferry
waif. in "Fogg's Ferry" at the Pence
last night. The part offers plenty of
scope for the use of Miss Rogers pc
culiar ability, and she acquitted herself
last evening with great credit. The part
is something like Chick. Tom Hamp
ton, as Fogg, the ferry keeper, deserves
Still Bill. The play itself is funny and
quite picturesque. "Fogg's Ferry" will
run until Thursday, when the bill will
be changed to "Enoch Arden"
