L.
Paul is now but few days away. and
1t is not exaggeration to state that the
interest in the event is very keen. MIR.
Drew comes al a period when the times
are, here as elsewhere, not as prosper
Gus as as they might be, but, taking
everything into consideration, his en-
gagement will undoubtedly be brill
liant one. His triumphs while the lead
ing member of Augustin Days com
pany are green in the memory of the
amusement public, and it is said that
his new play happily presents him in
the same line of refined comedy work
with which the public is most familiar.
1.-The Masked Ball' is the work oil

the Bollman German Theatrical COM
pany, who so highly pleased st. Paul
theater-goers last winter, will resume
their engagement at the Metropolitan
theater. The idea conceived by Theodore
Bollman to present the German drama
in this city is certainly iaudable one,
and should receive the fullest encour-
agement and the united support of all
American citizens of st. Paul.
During the entire engagement last win
Ter Mr.. Bollman put forth every effort
i'll his power to secure the best of talent
and present the finest dramas and COM
edies produced in any city in the Ger
man empire, and that he succeeded in

the English press, both in praise and
criticism, and with their encouragement
and the support of the people, st. Paul

OF the country. MIR. Bollman is now
engaged in getting the subscription

favorites, will place the German drama

The town is enjoying laugh this
week, and 1.-The Hustler is provoking
it at the Grand, with its merry absurdi-
ties, its splendid singing and its marvels
in speclalties. "The Hustler'' is all en-
tertalner, and that of a high order, and
not to see it would be to miss good
thing.
There are five special features in the
way of scenic and mechanical effects in
Lincoln j. Carter's new production,
The Tornado" and many plays have
starred" as their sole great triumph
an effect which did not compare to any
one of these five. The scene of 1.-The
Tornado" in the first act, the collision
of the two great ocean liners in the sec
ond act, the half-dozen sailors on the
yardarm of a swaying mast furling a
monster sail at dizzy height above the
deck of snip in the very teeth of a
furious gale, also feature of the Sec
ond act; the night scene of Chicago har-
Dor, showing with accuracy the famous
Masonic Temple, the Auditorium. the
Randolph street viaduct and ChicagoS
vast water front in the third act: the dis
secting room of a medical college ia the
fourth act, and the beautiful autumn set
ting of the fifth act, all go to make the
most deliberately staged production of
melodrama ever seen in America. Lin
colu j. Carter, and The Tornado are
a huge success, and should find large
audience awaiting them at the Grand.
