lie and critics and wherever they have

LORE ROONEY COMING.
In this era of trashy farce comedies 1t
IS refreshing to meet with q meritorious
novelty in this particular branch of dra-
matte construction. This is what Is
claimed for the laughing festival,
"Lord Rooney" which will be at the
Grand next Thursday, Friday and Sat
urdav. The author, in the compound
lug Of his mirthful play, has departed
from all the former time-worn standards
and, by doing so, has produced a play
entirely fresh and original. From the
rising Of the curtain TO the falling OF
the same the interest never flags, the
humor never loses its piquant flavor
and the entire piece goes ripping mer-
rily onward to an uproarlously hilarious
termination. The company engaged to
Illustrate Lord Rooney" is, by long
odds. one Of the best combination OF
the kind ever formed.
THE BURGLAR.
A comedy-drama Of more than pass
ing interest is THE Burglar" to be
presented at the Opera House to-mor-
row evening. 1t is a play that does one
good 20 see. OF absorbing interest,
probably no drama so strongly appeals
70 every emotion or points q better
moral, and no mother or child whose
desire is TO see what is pure and clean
in the drama should miss this perform
ance. 1t particularly appeals TO chill
dren, inasmuch as one Of the principal
points OF interest In connection with the
story is the role enacted by a little
child OF about six years Of age. To the
ladies, the daily intercourse between
members of a refined family are faith
fully depicted, and the silent suffering
of a woman concealing a family skele-
ton through the neglect OF a husband,
gives a bond OF sympathy between the
auditor and hapless wife that the I'M
rsveliDg OF the tale brings to a happy
ending. A pretty blending OF laughter
and tears has Gus Thomas contributed
through his famous drama, THE Bur-
glar."
AFTER THE BALL.
This latest success Of Mr.. R. E. Ora
ham will be seen at the Opera House
this evening. 1t has been well received
wherever given. and praise has been un-
stinted. An exchange says: There
was considerable expectancy as to the
manner in which Mr.. Graham would &C
Quit himself. The great reputation he
made as Gen. KnickerbOcker,' In The
Little Tycoon was the standard by
which he was going to be judged, and
he would be applsuded or condemned
accordingly. That he scored an in
slant success is simply stating a fact,
and from the rise to the fall OF the cur
tain there was a constant flow OF laugh
ter which rose from d%iminuendo to cres-
ceudo and often 20 fortissimo. The
plot OF the play contains some very
original situations, and the many and
humorous complications that arise In 1t
are due TO the fact that Mr.. Graham as
Paul Gibbs to help a friend, Philip
Cooper rendered by Benton Thorpe,
assumes the lstter's name and identity,
gets engaged to W girls, fights an i'm
aginary duel with his friend, is nearly
compelled to commit bigamy and be-
tween an irate would-be brotherIn-laW
and a furious Want-to-be father-in-law,
Paul Gibbs" is the means through
which an audience is kept in a constant
state Of merriment Mr.. Graham's sup
is very good"
