COMING ATTRACTIONS.

Tonight "Frisnds'' will be the attraction
at Mina's. As il opens the theatreal sea-
son In Helena. and IL one Of the best plays
on the road. there will undoubtedly be .
good house. In fact. tho advance sale of
seats indicates that such will be the case.
OF the play a leading st. Paul paper says:
Zone likes Friends that bright bit from
tho inspired pen of Edwin Milton Royle.
because there IL 80 muoh human nature in
it--or, rather. SO much human nature Of
the sort We most admire. One touch of
nature makes tho whole world kin. and In
tho past there has been too little of 1t upon
the stage. 1t 10 true that tho mirror has
been held up 10 nature; but tho mirror in
the majority Of instances has been 25. cent
looking glass, such ne one finds in .
cheap boarding house. which would
distort the seraphio fenturee Of An angel.
In 'Friends' it IL different. kovls has
taken tho chords of human feeling whore
with to play a symphony, and he has sue
seeded admirably. As an attraction the
piece il worthy OF . repetition of the favor
IL enjoy ed last year, when il entered the
oity comparatively unknown and ended by
playing to crowded houses. There Is the
same poetic friendship. tho same comedy.
the same pathos. the SINE intensity, the
same per rfeotion OF general effect. and what
IL more, almost the same cast"
