Mr.. Frank Hennig will have an OPP
portunity TO test the truth OF the say
ing that prophet is not without honor
save in his own country. on the Goth,
and both OF this month, when he
will appear in this city at the Opera
House as full fledged star. Mr.. Hen
mig has always been the real star when
ever he has played In Wheeling, but this
time the young tragedian will be backed
by strong company OF his own. He will
e supported by Mr.. Mathew Walters
one OF the best. Shakesperean actors on
the American stage, and by Miss Hen
rietta Vaders, with whom all theatre
goers are familiar. Miss Vaders is a
powerful and accomplished actress.
She adds to charming stage presence
that most necessary requisite-eIperl-
ence. Miss Vaders Is in fact star"
herself.
OF Mr.. Hennig we need say little.
Wheeling theatre-soers are familiar
with him. He is one among the few
American Shskesperean actors who
have In so short time climbed from
the bottom round OF the hlstrionic lad
der 10 the top. In this he has
been aided by nothing but
his innate ability and hard, incessant
work. Though young man he stands
in the front rank OF Shakesperean ira
gedlans and deservedly so, for there Is
not more conscientious nor more care
full actor on the stage to-day than Mr..
Hennig.
lie will play Othello. Hamlet and
Richard III. These performances Will
be given under the auspices OF the
Wheeling Press Club and will be the
initiatory performances OF Mr.. Hennig's
tour over the country at the head OF his
own company. Those who have seen
the talented young Wheeling tragedlan
supporting Thos. w. Keene will be
anxious to see him In the leading roles
himself, and we can guarantee that they
will not be disappointed.
Milton Mobiles has written several
good melo-dramss since the old days
when he was a member OF the Academy
Stock company but IL is question
whether he ever wrote one that was In
any way superior 20 his latest "A Son
OF Thespis." Mobiles wrote the Phoenix
and From Sire to Son." Both are ex-
celIent pieces and the author knows
Just how the plays should be put on.
Milton and Dollie Mobiles are fayorites
everywhere and all who see them In
their respective characters go away
feeling IL was good TO have been there.
Hardly ever does Mobiles get an adj
verse criticism in the newspapers. For
some unknown reason however, this
splendid actor fails 10 make money.
For several years be has given Wheeling
the go-bye, but has appeared In Bel
/ laire and surrounding towns. In some
res poets Mobiles career has been like
that OF Frederick Brighton. II has
been one of tough luck. Brighton was
a good actor and one OF the handsomest
men on the stage, yet he cannot sue
coed in the profession for which nature
| fitted him.
Mr.. James A. Bailey the veteran
Snowman. has offered 10 erect on the
lake front. Chicago, tent large enough
to seat $1,000 people and allow the
Democratic committee 70 use IL free OF
! cost for their national convention.
BaiIy has an eye for business. He is
looking for scheme to get show room
for nothing.
Hoyt's newest play "a Temperance
Town" has made great hit in Buffalo.
Cant aud hypocrisy is dealt a blow, but
at the same time the play Is as full Of
fun as are all OF Mr.. Hoyts pieces. The
Hole In the Ground. one OF the most
clever conceptions OF Mr.. Hoyt will sp-
pear here shortly. Miss Harvey who
assumes the leading lady 10 the piece is
a splendid dancer. The company is on
