Jacobs III oboken Theatre.
Commencing today with matinee per-
Torrance at Jacobs Hoboken Theatre
and continuing until Wednesday night
will be seen the beautiful drama, "Alone
In London" 1t has been great success
and retains it's popularity without di-
m1nution. The great river scene, where
the villain attempts to drown the heroine
by tying to a post in sluice house and
then opening the flood gates upon her,
never fails to arouse the audience to a
high pitch of excitement.
1.-THE Great Metropolis; or, The Life
Savers of Sandy Hook Will be revealed
to Hoboken audience for the first time,
on the stage of Jacobs Hoboken Theatre
next Thursday night "The Great Me
tropolis'' received its initial representa-
ton at the Twenty-third Street Theatre,
New York, early in September last, and
for seven weeks was one of the reigning
dramatic attractions in Gotham.
Chief among the series of wondrously
realistic pictorial effects is the represen-
wreck of the ship, Flying Fish, and the
rescue Of the passengers and crew by the
United States life savers. Captain Charles
f. Clark, who has distinguished himself
as government life guard at Atlantic
City, will appear in the shipwreck scene.
South Americans VIII See ''Erminie."
The magnetic influence of "Erminie"
serves to ill the Casino, New York, at
every performance, and the hearty laugh
ter and applause heard on ali sides show
that the audience enjoy the opera as
much now as they did hundreds of nights
ago. One OF the largest theatre parties
that ever visited the Casino will be pres
emit on Monday evening, December Ii. 1t
will consist of the delegates to the Pan
city officials, and the Citizens Entertain
ing Committee. They will occupy
several rows of seats in the body of the
house and ten boxes. Mr.. Rudolph
Aronson will make elaborate prepara-
tions for the reception of the guests, and
the entire house will be handsomely
decorated in honor of the occasion.
The idea of taking the delegates to see
"Erminie" is to be commended, ofcourse.
They will see good show and the in
terror of one of the handsomest theatres
in the country. But for educational pur-
poses show them a great United States
tank drama with real water-one of those
where every ticket of admission bears a
guarantee that genuine, live man will
be really drowned every night, and those
who don't believe it can 20 to heinquest
This will be much more instructive, for
there is still great value in the old Deca-
logue idea of Thou shaltnot."

ences to Hammerstein's new Harlem
Opera House last week. Alfred Follln
plays the part so cleverly done by Wilton
Lackaye, but being a small. thin man
with well-developed bluegrass accent,
he fails to loom up to advantage. In

door with little polo cap perched on one
side of his head, an Italian in the gallery
exclaimed-"Lookad de monk"
