FOYER AND FOOTLIGHT.

Bronson Towards "Henrietta" will be
the attraction at the Newmarket this
week, with Stuart Robson as BERTHE,
the youthful Wall street plunger. Also
of the company is Miss Katherine
Florence, sister of Miss Eleanor Nor
ETH, who made many friends during
her engagement at the Peoples theater
last summer. She appears as Agnes,
Bertie's sweetheart. The Other, mem
bers of the company are well known
and capable. Miss May Waldron has
made an exchange of parts. Last
year she played Lady Mary Trelawney,
but this season her talents are displayed
to better advantage in the role eff Mrs.
Opdyke, the dashing widow. The alb
sence of W. FL. Crane will be regretted
by many. for no one can counterfeit his
conception of the character, but Frank
Mordaunt, who succeeds him, and who
Is known to be good actor. handles the
part very acceptably. As the company
is coming from San Francisco it will not
reach here by Monday night. The adj
vance sale of seats opened yesterday,
and the receipts promise to be the
heaviest of the season.
i
Monday evening Minnie Madden, the
talented ingenue, makes her second APP
pearance at the popular Harris theater,
after an absence of two seasons, and the
advance sale of seats demonstrates that
the absence of an attraction last week
has only put keener edge on the dra-
matte appetites of the patrons. This
season Miss Maddern makes a
new and acceptable venture, in
that she essays pure comedy. 1t
has been her wish for several years
to do this, but she has been unable to
secure play suited to her talents and
her tastes. ''Featherbrain," however,
appears to suit her exactly, for it has
been received with plaudits everywhere.
1t is a comedy of the sparkling, roll cI-
ing order. and the stars part is one to
which the critic can take no exceptions.
Coupled with this favorite is In Spite
of ALL" which has met such
success in the past that it
is retained by Miss Madden.
In it the hands of SardOu, the master,
and Mackaye. the artist, are seen, and
in its entirety it is a dramatic gem,
worthy to be claSsed with the best pro-
auctions of the day. The supporting
company is made up of first-class met
ropOlitan artists who take pride in their
work. On Tuesday and Thursday even
ings. benefits will be rendered Hope
Division, Uniform Rank Knights of
Pythias, and the friends of the PythianS
will turn out in force. Seats for any
evening may be secured in advance at
the box office.

little patrons. But Santa Claus is not

both i'm the curio hall and i'm the stage
shows, is billed for the museum next
week. Whale Oil Gus, hunter of the
sea, and the famous Lewis children will
appear in the Curio hall. The Lewis
