Grand Opera HOuse-Modjeska's en-
gagement at the Grand opera house the
first half of next week is a theatrical
event of great Importance. Many great
artists grow careless and are apt to
slight an unimportant scene that they
may, when the moment presents itself,
flash out into the greatest brilliancy.
But with Modjeska this is not the case.
Her work throughout the entire per-
Torrance is even, aud her attention to
the smallest detail is always plainly
perceptibe. Her costumes are all
historically correct and the properties
used are fac smile copies of the orig
lnals. which are in thu great museums
of the world, or are the originals them
selves, which have been obtained at a
great cost. Her company this season
includes L. b. Thalberg, a successful
English leading man, new to this city,
Beaumont Smith. Howard Kyle, Henry
de Lussan, Robert P. Carter, Jules
CiuZette, Wadsworth Harris, George
Hazelton, w. A. Shaw. Frank Vincent,
Mrs. Kate Meek. Mrs. Beaumont Smith,
Miss Helen Jones and Miss Edith Meek.

Considerable interest attaches to the
local engagement of Joseph Haworth at
the Grand opera house the last three
nights of the present week. Mr.. Ha-
worth has during the present season
been recognized as dramatic genius of
exceptional brIlliance. Forceful. intel
ligent, earnest, and gifted by
nature with a striking cOuntenance,
sinewy and 1.-the physique, and re-
markabiy melodious voice, he has added
to these possessions by years of study.
His recent engagement in Chicago
the second one in that city this seoson
was remarkable for the interest
displayed and the amount of enthusiasm
developed. He presented the same
repertoire that will be seen here-a re-
yiYal of the late E. l.. Davenport's re-
mantle drama, st. Marc, the Soldier of
Fortune;" Booths version of Victor
Hugo's intense drama, ''Ruy Bias" and
1.-The Bells" in which Mr.. Haworth is
seen in the weird and fascinating char
acter study of Matthias, the conscience
stricken murderer. At the performance
of this play in Chicago Mr.. Haworth re-

ance and two at its close. He is sur
rounded by an exceptionally strong
company, which includes Miss Kath-
ryn Kidder, Atkins Lawrence, Miss
Marian Abbott. Miss Anna MeVeigh, E.
j. Morgan, Charles Watrous, John DAILY,
Horace Mitchell, Edward White and
William Bower. On Thursday night
''St. Mare, the Soldier of Fortune" will
be produced. On Friday and at the Sat

given, with MIR. Haworth in the role of
1.-The lackey with the soul of NOBLE"
On Wednesday night the only perform
ance of The Bells' Will occur, Mr..
Haworth playing the part of Matthias.
Lyceum Theater-One of the promi-
nent attractions of the present week is
the appearance of Americas great duo
entertainers, Bill Nye and g. A. Bur-
day evening. The present tour of these
famous humoristS has thus far been a
record breaker for crowded houses and
wild enthusiasm. Not long since in
Chicago 654 persons bought standing
room, while hundreds were unable to
gain admission to the hall. Nye is a
walking encyclopedia of fun, and, for
two hours at least, will make the Ills
and troubles of life vanish like vapor
Burbank is one of the best dramatic
readers of the present time. The two
are a happy combination. Seats are
now on sale at Dyer'S.
Bijou Opera House-Fred Bryton and
Ralph Delmore. two powerful young
romantic actors, will open weeks en-
gagement at the Bijou this afternoon,
presenting Clay Greene's touching ro-
mantle play. Forgiven" Fred Bryton
needs no introduction to the local thea
ter-goers, as the popularity which this
young player possesses here is de-
cidedlv great. This will be the first ap-
pearance of hir. Bryton in this city in
some time, and this fact adds considera-
bic interest to his coming engagement
at the Bijou. Forgiven" the piece that
is to be produced, is an unconventional.
romantic comedy-drama, built in quite
an odd way by it's author, and depends
for its success upon the naturalncsS of
its scenes and situations rather than
upon any great sensational climaxes.
