Goodyear, Glitch & Schilling's minstrel troupe
Will appear at the Seattle opera-house for Thurs
day evening only. There are always certain
great attractions that visit city that stand out
prominent from all the rest; that is, they mark
certain periods, and become landmarks, enter
ing into the history of an opera-house or city,
and are looked back to and spoken of years
afterwards. Such is to be the engagement of
Goodyear, Glitch & Schillings Ministries. The
company has created a sensation in the minstrel
world. This is only the second year il has been
before the public, yet 1t has sprung to the front

ing, presenting the greatest galaxy of minstrel
stars that ever was known to have travelled with
one company at one time. Charles W. Good

has been leading light in the minstrel profess
sion for years. He has appeared in every city
In the United States and Canada. Charles f.
Schilling has been connected with the best min-
strel aud pantomime companies travelling. He
is considered the greatest producer of original
ideas In minstrelsy in the country. He is the
originator of instrumental comedy, and has
tlst OF the world. f. NJ. Hall is the greatest de-
lineator OF the Southern negro character and
draws the largest salary ever paid to minstrel
performer. Among the European artists are
Aazuz and Abbacco, the Arabs, who have been
secured at an enormous salary, almost equal to
the total running expenses OF an ordinary min
strel company. There IA also Sr. Garcia and his
historical Greek instrument, called the Saterio,
and q number OF other special attractions. The
show is good Que in all respects.

Little Marie Heath, who made such a hit in
'ole Olson" when she was here last season, ia
now starring II, and has a play which was
written ior her, and which is said to fit her ex-
actiy. The title is an attractive one, and from
the press notices it has made hit II is called
"a Turkish Bath" and is replete with catchy
music, bright repartee and ghable situations.
Miss Heath is surrounded by q clever lot of
comedians, who succeed in sustaining the hilar-
ity from start TO finish. II will be seen at the
opsra-house on Friday and Saturday evenings
and saturday matinee. The play gives ample
opportunity to introduce many musical special
ties, which consist of operatic selections,
medieys. popular and comic songs, and in fact
vocal selections that are sure to please ALL The
members OF the company are all fine vocalists,
and each one was recalled until they would re-
spond no more. Miss Marie Heath is the favor
lie OF her audience, and no one can see her and
not be pleased with her personation OF the mis-
chievous little girl. Her singing of "Won't You

by their powerful company, will pay Seattle
their annual visit, appearing at the Seattle

by William Haworth. This will be followed on
Friday evening with "The Burglar" a comedy
drama In four acts by Augustus Thomas, author
OF Alabama" and on Saturday night the pic
turesque military drama, "Beacon Lights"
Speaking of this excellent company, a recent
press notice says: The Grismer-Davies com.
pany has given US some good plays at the Grand
opers-house during the past week. They were
Stern Cliff" "The Burglar" and Beacon
Lights" and all were well produced. Mr. Girls
mer is a careful actor and a shrewd manager,
and is ably assisted by his wife, Phoebe Davies.
They have selected a good company and have
an excellent repertoire Of plays, which they pre-
sent with great care and without regard to ex-
pense, SO far as the accessories are concerned.
These performances are satisfactory in every
respect. and they are reaping deserved reward
in the liberal patronage bestowed upon them by
the theater-going public.

Ing. Miss Maybele Eekert takes a minor part
In the play, but her rich contrato voice
makes her one of the most valuable men,
bers of the company. Mr.. 7. Wilmott Eckert,
the tenor, has a strong and full voice and sang
several selections with good effect. Mr.. Frank
Murphy as Robin McGoogle, the policeman,
captures the gallery with his dancing, and he is
a good comedian. The play is a musical COM
edy. and while the singing is perhaps the princi-
pal feature, the play is full OF fun from begin
ming to end. No one can attend it without
laughing, and all will say it is thoroughly en-
joyable.
