the Henretta. on which Phfteds Fogg starts
on his journey to Liverpool. is perfect setting

is of a realistic kind and it is said that never
before have any mechanical effects SO large
been worked on the stage. The grand process
sion in the metropolis scene of the second act is
said to be one Of the most magnificent pageants
ever contrived by the Kiralfys and there seems

the Kiralfys in their best days.
BEGINNING Monday evening and continuing
all the week at the Grand Opera House, with
matinees Wednesday and Saturday, Mr..
Roland Reed, the very popular comedian. will
present his successful comedy written by the
late David d. Lloyd. and which was well re-
ceivsd here last season, "The Woman Hater."
To see Roland Reed in "The Woman Hater' is
to laugh heartily. The play, while not quite a
farce, is not quite a comedy. It borders on
both and Is perhaps we'll called an eccentric
comedy. Mr.. Reeds peculiar methods are well
known, and to say that he is absurdly funny is
to say what everyone knows. The play is full
OF laughable situations and Mr.. Reed, with his
nasal gurgle. his comical expressions of face and
other absurdities, is perfectly irresistible. Mr.
Reed grows steadily in popularity and his pres
ent tour, which opened few weeks ago. is thus
far the most successful he has ever had. A
special feature of all Mr.. Reeds productions
is the attention to appointments and detail. A
strong company lend him ample aid. They are:
Miss lsadore Rush. Miss Maud Monroe, Mrs
Mary Meyers, Harry A. Smith. William Q.
Andrews. Ernest Bartram, Fl. Rees Davies,
Julian Reed Max Fehrmann, James Douglass.
THE Academy of Music will be once more
open to its patrons on Monday night, when
Whallen d Martelle's Vaudeville Company
will appear. The Martelle family comprises
six gifted specialists whose performances are
show in itself. Then there are Emmerson
and Cook, the Earl sisters, Oracle Cummings
Brown and Harrison, Golden and Quigg the
Sheppard sisters. Mfllie May, the Ronciercs
Prof. William Kappes, and other talented
makers of mirth and melody.
WI. FLoRENCE's "Inshavogue," romantic
Irish comedy drama, will be given at Harris
Theater this week by a company OF exceptional
merit. under the management of T. H.
Winnett. 1t will be one of the greatest scenic
productions of the season. Two tanks and a
cascade of real water are used. Among the
handsomest of the stage settings are the IL
Illuminated Blarney castle, the cascade of real
water the terrific explosion and the jig and
reel dance.
