THE THEITERS.

THE THEITEfsS.
People know good thing when they see
it. That has been demonstrated by the lib
eral manner in which they have been pat
ronizing John ID. Hopkins Howard Athe-
naum speciality show, now playing at the
Boyd. There has never been seen in this
country anything in the line of vaudeville
entertainments that will equal this show.
Mr.. Hopkins presents an entirely refined
and respectable program, one that no lady
would blush to look at. Tonight Sunday
the engagement will close at the Boyd.
Bobby Gaylor will be warmly welcomed at
the Faruam this afternoon, when he opens
short engagement, introducing again his
mirth-evoking Sport McAllister." There
is not more original genius on the stage
that Mr.. Gaylor His Comicalites are all
his own. His style and mannerisms are en-
tlrely different from all other comedians.
His magnetism is wonderful and catches his
audience the moment he appears before
them. The company supporting Mr.. Gaylor
is spoken of in the highest terms of praise,
and there is no doubt that the attraction will
play to crowded houses during its engage
ment
Charles Frohman's company IN ''The Lost
Paradise will appear tomorrow and Tues
day evening at Boyds new theater, It's
author, ii. 4. DeMllle, has searched among
human emotions and selected those for
treatment which seem swiftest and most
steadfast in reaching and holding the peo-
pie. He has grouped Japortions of half
dozen or more lives in the most intense
story of love and hate, of courtship and
marriage, of right ana wrongdoing, that the
modern stage has ever seen. The Margaret
knowlton,. young woman of wealth
and social distinction, Spurns the
honest, earnest love of the super
intendent of her fathers iron works,
Reuben Warner. Later she discovers the
true nobility of his character, confesses her
mistake, and consents TO be his wife. She
learns his true worth in a strike in her
fathers iron works when the young superin-
tendent's great sympathetic nature leads
him to side with and plead for the men.
The strike scene is the most tremendous eyer
presented in a theater.i There is pa thos,
too, in the love of Nell, a factory girl, for
the superintendent, all unconscious of her
affection, and the humor furnished by
Cinders and Billie Hopkins, two comedy
/ lovers, is of lively and Infectious kind that
makes laughter.

Musicians pronounce the above one of the
| most brilliant programs in PaderewSki'S
repertoire and consider that in this regard
| Omaha people are specially favored. The
| sale has now been on almost week and the
! results are very gratifying There is no
| doubt that Paderewski will appear before
! one of the most magnificent audiences of the
| season.
On Thursday evening next and for the
| balance of the week the Farnam will present
the latest novelty in the theatrical world
| Peter jackson, the renowned colOred cham
| pion, who will be seen in the title role of
| Stockwells spectacular "Uncle Toms
! Cabin" which has just closed phenomenal
| run in San Francisco. The press of that
city praised Jackson's rendition of the char
acter of Uncle Tom and the scenic produc-
| tion. The plantation scene will be a most
realistic production of the south before the
war, in which will be seen and heard the
colored jubilee singers in sweet melodies,
also many specialties and features, including
the black Lotte Collins in her original and
novel dances-the talk of the country.
| During the performance Peter jackson and

''lhe Upper Hand" which has been in
active preparation for two weeks, will be
presented at Wonderland and Bijou theater
this week, commencing with the matinee
| performance tomorrow. The cast is un-
| usually large and with the excellent stock
company it should prove a success. The
leading role, Jack Lamar, an unfortunate
hero, who is continually getting into scrapes
and eventually into jail, although innocent,
is in the hands of the capable actor, Ralph
Cummings, who already is great favorite
with the patrons Of the BiJou. Miss Lilse
Leigh as Maud Lamar part with which
she is thoroughly familiar, will be seen to
advantage, and the balance of the characters
have been excellently cast and will be
admirably acted. "The Upper Hand
abounds with comedy, ludicrous sit
uatioas and laughable cllmaXes. The action
of the play is so lengthy no specialties will
be given before the aEama as heretofore
but instead, will be introduced during the
different acts, among the clever artists who
will amuse being the phenomenal child
dancer, little Sara, of whom SO much has
been written of late. She is reputed to be
a marvel, and, in addition to her wonderful
dancing will essay the part of Birdie Lamar
a handsome flower basket will be pre-
sented the lady visitors at each performance
of the Upper Hand. -,
