There are few artists on the stage 80
we'll known and 30 thoroughly well
liked as Fanny Rice, who is now at the
head of her own company of singers
and comedians in the new musical
comedy written for her by Arthur Wal
lack, esq, and entitled A Jolly Sur
prise. Miss Rice has been on the stage
some eight or nine years. and has been
unusually successful, both in musical
comedy and comic opera. She will be
remembered by local theater goers az
the bright particular star of the Carle-
ton opera company, with which organi-
cation she made tour of this coast in
'S0. Miss Rice has lost none of her
vivacity or brightness since that time,
and her old friends and admirers, who
will, no doubt, turn out in full force,
will find the dainty little soubrette as
chic and as charming as Of yore. The
company supporting Miss Rice is fret
class in every respect, and every indi-
vidual member, from his Burton's in
the orchestra to Harold Ramsey in the
back row, ia an artist in his line. Miss
Rice and her clever company will be
seen at the Grand opera house next
Tuesday and Wednesday.
