"a Trip to Chinatown" The latest
success from the pen OF Chas. X. Hoyt
will occupy the PROVIDENCE Opera
House stage three nights next week be-
ginning Monday. There will also be the
usual matinee Wednesday afternoon. 1t
is not entirely new to PROVIDENCE, hav-
ing been brought out here In the latter
part of 1890. The approval It received
then has been duplicated In all the large
cities. 1t has been played eleven months
without single interruption at the
Madison Square Theatre, New York, the
longest farce comedy run on record. 1t
is full of fun from beginning to end and
creates more laughter than ten circ uses
The company has been selected with the
usual care noticeable in ali Mr.. Hoyt's
productions.
GEORGE THATCHER's TUXEDO"
That the combination of clean min
plified in George Thatcher's minstrel
farce comedy creation Tuxedo" is a
happy one, is evidenced by the popular
favor with which Tuxedo has been
received all over the country since its first
production last season. Tuxedo" comes
to the. Providence Opera House next
Thursday. Friday and Saturday evenings
aud Saturday matinee Sept. IS, l6 and IL.
The play has been entirely rewritten, and
while the story remains the same, fresh
incidents, new dialogue, music and situa-
tious have been so cleverly interviewer
that 1t appears wholly new. Its con-
struction appeals to the Intelligence of
the spectator more than the average
production of its class, and Is rich In
fine satire. The production also lays
claim to unequalled excellence In the way
Of both fun and music, and there Is no rea-
son why the patrous of the PROVIDENCE
Opera House who are lovers Of good min
strelsy and clean farce should not find a
treat in Tuxedo" The ultimate success
of all comedy attractions like Tuxedo"
is dependent almost wholly on the 'pso-
pie" in the cast. and Tuxedo SCENE to
