WYATT TILL TIE CLOUDS ROLL By"
On Thursday. Friday. and Saturday eve
nings Frank NJ. Wills will be seen at the
Theatre in his new comedy, Wait I'LL the
Clouds Roll By"
The title does not give US a cue to the
character of the comedy, though we infer
that the author wishes US to understand
that we must be patient aud take things
as we find them. In fact, however, Mr..
| Wills's play is farce comedy which Is
| thoroughly permeated with humor. and I:
invented simply tor the purpose of making
people laugh. Dir. Wills, 1t will be remem-
! bered, was one Of the trio--Wills. Hen
| shaw, and Ten Broeck-who first present
| ed 1.-THE Two Old Cronles." He ~ sup
! ported by Al. Feeley, Josie Domaine, Jes-
| sic Olivier, and Others.
| "Wait Till the Clouds Roll By" Is said
30 be full of catchy songs, lively dances
aud entertaining specialues.
TIRE INSIDE TRACK"
| The Academy's attraction this week vii
| be "1he Inside Track" melodrsmf
which was brought into prominence seve
raj years ago by Oliver Byron, and which
Is now interpreted by Miss klttie Rhoades
1.-THE Inside Track" will afford a great
deal of pleasure TO many OF our people. L
! is @ vivid, realistic play with highly col
ored plot, and there Is charming heroine
! and villain who is bent on her ruin. The
| dramatic ection will be largely aided by
| the use OF picturesque scenery. The tea
| lures of the play are q scene upon the
last river and fire-scene which Is said &c
| be startling in It's realism. Miss Rhoade:
| is said to be supported by an excellent
! company. who will give good presenta
| ton of the drama.
The engagement is for Thursday, Fri
| day, and Saturday evenings, with
matinee on Saturday afternoon.
RUSSELL AS ABRAHAM LINCOLN.
Sol. Smith Russelrs latest idea Is TO i'm.
personate Abraham Lincoln. He will dc
| the impersonatIng some time this season
| In new play which has been written fol
| him, but the character that Russell vii
play will not bear Lincoln's name.
Last week in Omaha Clara Morris pro.
| duced new emotional play called
"Claire," an adaptation from the German

genuine a success has been made In that

stlnted praise by the local critics aud RAJ
