"Yon Yonaon.,, ,,

h
 tYon Yonson," the new dialect comedy, which is to be produced at Jacques opera house January 15, is de- scrlbed as one of the most novel plays ever presented to the public. The title role IS that of Swedish emigrant, whose uncouth manners, irresistably funny dialect and ingenious naturalness give him an individuality rarely seen in stage creation. Every sentence is said to provoke merriment, while his awk- ward mannerisms keep the audience in a constant state of laughter. The play, moreover,is said to be intensely interest ing as dramatic production, a success ful effort being made to give a true and realistic picture of life in the north western lumber country. The produe- ton is under the management of Jacob Lit, whose grand scenic mslodroma, "The Stowaway," is sufficient guaran. tee of what may be expected scenically and dramatically.
