THIS great spectacular piece insures for 1t q
grand run in this city. Nothing approaching
this play has ever been displayed in the spec

World" though eminently attractive, is not to
be ranked in the same class. A San Francisco
daily says of the play and its production:
The Hanlon Brothers spectacular play, "Su-
perba," filed every seat at the California last
night, and there were many who had to be sat
isfied with standing room. The show is pretty,
as the Hanlons' productions always are. The
costumes are bright and new, and there is glory
and glitter enough about the transformations
for a chidren's heaven. The specialties are
most OF them good, the acrobatic feats of the
Schrode brothers being better than anything of
the sort that has been here for a long time.
There are series of shadowy pictures that are
miraculously funny, and some bull-fghtilg
tableaux that are quite effective. There lis d

"Capt.in Swift, at Cordray,s.

The society drama, "Captain Swift" has been
billed es the attaction at Cordrays next week.
Mr.. Arthur Forrest has been specially engaged
to take the leading part. This gentleman has
starred In the piece all over the United States
for the last two years, and has won great popu-
larity for forcible and talented acting. The
Newark Euenirg Netus of September 8 says of Mr..
Forests enaction and speaks OF the play as fol-
lows:
Captain Swift" the play produced at Miners
theater last night, ranks with "Jim the PEN
man" There are no suggestions OF imitation or
similarity in details between them, but both
deal with the slow winding Of the web OF evil
dence about guilty men, and with the final and
inevitable discovery OF their crimes. Captain
Swift. is an Australian OF the Claude
Duyal type, who fees to England
and becomes visitor to the home
OF his own mother, to save whose
reputation he had been in infancy taken from
her arms and given to the care of strangers, who
brought him up in Australia He wins the love
OF young girl in the locality where his mother
resides. but his identity as the Australian out
law is suspected at once by a visitor who had
looked into the muzze OF Swift's revolver in the
bush, and he Is recognized also by his foster
brother, a servant in the house. Finally the
mother discovers their relationship and dis
closes 1t to him Torn by contending emotions
the man hesitates to flee till danger thickens
around him and it is too late. Mother, sweet
heart and foster brother vainly endeavor to
save him, and he at last meets death by his own
hands rather than face arrest and compel his
mother TO reveal to her husband the secret OF
her early life. The play is developed in mastery
fashion and awakens the Hveliest SYM
pathy for the doomed man. The one ex-
ception to be taken is that the final catastrophe
Is overpainful. 1t is not always true art,
however pleasant it may be to make stories and
plays end happily, but the end OF Captain
Swift leaves not only the thought of sadness
over the ruin and death of a man ennobled by
courage, self-sacrifice and repentance, but the
impression, knowing his mothers love for him,
that he has at the moment OF a supreme crisis
chosen not only to throw his own life away but
also 10 destroy every chance OF happiness that
she has and embitter every moment OF her fu-
ture life with the memory of terrible tragedy.
Arthur Forrest made a handsome, dashing
Captain Swift. He played the part throughout
with good judgment and force. Particularly
was this the case in the strong scenes in which
his mother confes,es their relationship, and in
the last act where the hunted and desperate
man, gaining u brief respite from the pursuit of
the detectives, meets the woman he loves and
his mother

The cast 10 as follows:
Trim of the Marine Band.

The United States Marine band of Washing
ton, City, "The Presidents Band" it is some
times called, is about to make one of the most
remarkable tours that any large organization
he's ever attempted in this country. 1t is to
cross The continent to San Francisco, stopping
at certain designated cities, fill an engagement
at the Golden Gate, continue south as far as
Los Angeles, Cal, north as far es Seattle, WASH,
return by the Northern route to St Paul, Mime
apolis and Duluth, again to Chicago, and from
Chicago back to the national capital, all in an
exceedingly brief period. To accomplish this
extraordinary run the band will be compelled
to compass an average of 200 miles day, play
ing every day except Sundays, and often twice
day. This is feat never before undertaken
by any large organization. There is but one
that ever approached such an average, that be-
ing Gilmore's band, under the same manage
ment, Mr.. D. Blakely, of New York, which
made a transcontinental tour, and covered an
average of loo miles q day. The care
in every detail of arrangement necessary to
enable the Marine band TO accomplish this I'M
dertaking is hardly eomprehended by the aver
age reader The very minutes of the time
allotted are counted, ana every foot o! the miles
of the distance measured; the hours possible to
every stopping place are accounted for to tho
second. and every coach in the train will be
creased and screwed up TO the highest pitch OF
condition. and even the selected engineers, con-
ductors and trainmen are put on their nerve
for specific and eventtul duty. single hours
delay a broken axle. or misplaced switch, might

and many special trains are required TO run on
special timetables. The Marine band excursion
train will be a splendid combination of Pullman

sleepers are especially arranged for, dining car,
baggage cars, etc, and the heetest engines pos
sessed by any and all the railroad lines con-
cerned are the train requisites, and these will

sixty or more in number. II is by special dis
pensation and the grace of President Harrison,
at the request Of Secretary of the Navy Tracy,
that the Marine band is granted the furlOugh
that makes II possible for II 70 go upon SO long
and remarkable u journey. As is well known,
the band is q government institution, perma-
uently stationed al " ashingtOn City, and is
nec.ally devoted to the White House and the
presidents requirements. The present is the
second tour ever permitted by the president,
and the first for such length OF time and dis
lance; therefore the tour partakes somewhat of
a national novelty and must naturally attract
10 itself almost national attention.
