Lothrop's Grand Opera pouse.

| story is toiu III u prlBnt, livery way, the
comedy element predominates in a ma
jority OF the scenes and the Company thA
| Will present 1t at Lothrop's Opera House
next week, Is well adapted to its require
ments. The scenes OF the play are laid In
New Jersey and New York, the opening
| act Is given In a yard OF farmhouse,
where, surrounded by hens and chickens,
Josh Green holds full sway. The peaceful
| quiet OF the quiet home is disturbed by a
raid from lightning rod agent, Gilbert
Straight, who not only fastens his useless
| appendages TO the roof OF the humble cot
tage, but ~ on hand when Adam Beck,
the farmer, is murdered, and Is ultimately
| able to furnish the connecting
| link and send the murderer
to the gallows. Jay Hunt not
only plays the Jersyman for a set OF
| lightning rods, but also the agent, Gilbert
Straight, In his inimitable manner. Adam
Beck has son Bobby, college youth
| who, not satisiie with the verdict OF the
coroner's jury, determines to assume the
| role of a detective and hunt down his
fathers murderer. The role of Bobby
falls to the clever little soubret, Miss
Laura Deane, and in ii she has made the
hit of her life. In pursuit OF the criminal,
Bobby assumes the character ofa Chinese
laundryman and coiored bell boy.
To those who have known Miss Deaue
only as a singing soubret, it must be
patent that Miss Deane took quite con-
tract on her hands when she tackled this
| role. We believe Ii II the first instance in
| which woman has assumed the role OF
Cinnamon, yet little Laura has succeeded
i'm studying the ways and manner OF these
strange people to such an extent that her
impersonation OF Sing Lee is simply
wonder to all who listen to her Mongoian
dialect and ber rendering of the Chinese
ditty. From this character she makes IA
quick change to that OF a negro boy in
which she Is equally at home. T.. II. Bur-
ton will make you laugh as hayseed, Josh
Green, with clover tops in his hair and
lard on his patent feathers. IL will not do
you bit OF hurt To see "Time will Tell, ."
yet the great pile driving scene on the
wharf is liable to prove decidedly excit-
ing.
| Keith's 0peia House.
Realism has reac he'd the climax in stage
productions, as will be realized by the
patrons OF keith's Opera House next week
| when Walter Saniord's newest success,
"A Flag of Truce" will be given with all
the elaborate completeness that signitied
its successful run OF fifty or more nights
In New York at the 18th street theatre.
William Haworth, the uthor, pronouDces
this as his companion play to "The En-
sign" 1t contains many stage features OF
startling effect, while the company is the
same as appeared during its New York
engagement.
| MejkIejohn A. Lomas Course.
This year caps the climax. Certainly no
better course was ever given in Paw
tucket. New York, Boston or Providence,
or In fact any OF the larger cities, cannot
boast OF finer course OF entertainments
They are OF popular order and still high
class, elevating in every sense Ct the term
and sure TO please. One dollar and fifty
cents coulu not more proftably be spent.
This sum admits one person to the entire
course, with reserved seat. Notwth-
standing hard times, such a course OF en-
tertalnment, so rich and within the com
pass OF the educated tastes OF tho citizens
OF Pawtucket cannot fail OF abundant
support. II is chance I'm life time to
hear such violinist as Henri Marteau.
No greater ever appeared I'm America. He
will cause as great a sensation as Pader-
ewski.
The first and last entertainments In the
&C urse are very strong combinations OF
stars. These are sure to reach the tastes
OF every class, the artist chosen to appear
in them are so varied and eminent In their
line, and every song will be rendered in
Engli so everyone will understand and
appreciate. The management have shown
good taste, as well as sound judgment in
their selection Of talent.
Everyone should call at the piano ware
rooms OF Mieklejohn 81 Lomas and recei ye
a copy OF the beautiful prospectus. 1t is
a tastefully gotten up book and patrons
will be sure to want one to keep as a
souvenir.
Those who remember Prof Cumnock
will anticipate much pleasure from his
|
hig hest round OF the ladder as a reader
Who does not rememb ber his reading OF
that simple but touching little piece,
"Nuo BARNES, cuddle DOOM" lie is az
much at home in the humorous as he is in
the sentimental. Jessie Couthoui, too,
will bring out a host OF admirers and
Pere Delasco, the great basso, will not
want for friends here. And so one could
go on and say lot OF good things about
every artist in the course. All of them
are leaders in their line. Rev. A. A. Will
let's lecture on "Sunshine," or "The
Secret Of Happy Life" ought to do a
vast amount OF good. Altogether Meikle-
john Il Lomas deserve great credit and
hearty support for their hard work.
Doubtless the host of people buying
course tickets next Monday evening will
show it. Don't forget the hour OF sale,
half-past o'clock.
