The first appearance in this city of Daniel Frohman's Lyceum Comedy com pany will ocour tonight. They are to pre- sent "American's Abroad" comedy from the facile and clever pen of Victorien Ssr- dou. The piece proved tremendous suc- cess in New York, holding the stage of the Lycsum an entire year, and it proved to be one of the greatest successes the New York Lyceum has ever known. It is play in which the interest continues until the final reconciliation. The third act is reserved for the great Frenchman's beet work and in this two unusually interesting situations are treated in most exceptionally novel manner. The story is told with the ex- quisite skill of a master and ends with an original situation which only Sardou could have devised. The cast includes J. H. Gilman, J. B. Polk, George Alison, Fred eric Conger, R. Jones, Owen Fswcett, John Findlay. Vaugn Glssser Maud Harrison, Gertrude Rivers, Helen Kinnard, Jane Lothian, Louise Murray, Una Abel, Hope Booth and George Robinson. Sale of seats now open.

The piece Is finely produced with an excellent cast, pie tureeque scenery and performances have special interest in the clever acting of Jo- seph Grismer and Miss Phoebe Davies in the two leading characters.
 GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
 "The Fast Mail," which appears the first three days this week, with matinee Wednesday is said to be the most success ful railroad and scsnic melodrama on the road this season. MT. L. J. Carter, the author and manager, has contrived to weave into a consistent story nearly all the good points of the sensational drama. The climax of each act is strong enough to support a whole play, yet so we'll graded are the features of the piece that one views with increasing interest through the five acts the murder and the clever trick with the grandfather's clock in the first act; the Mississippi river steamer, its engine room showing a practical furnace, and the ex- plosion with "oomplate change of scene behind curtain of rising smoke," behind which is seen the wreck, as the curtain falls on the second act; the "life-sizs" freight train, with it's realistic engine and sixteen box cars, with their familiar letter. ing, followed, at the close of the third act, by "The Fast Mail;" the dsgo dive of the hairbreadth escapes which take place there, and then the "ful1 front view of Niagara Falls, as seen from the center of Suspen- sion bridge" upon which the final curtain descends.
 Walter Sanford's sterling success, "A Flag Of Truce" comes the last three days of this week, with a matinee on Saturday, During the run in New York city at the Fourteenth street theater of this successful domestic comedy drama there was no divi- sion of opinion among the thousands who witnessed It as to the genuine merit in the play, and all were of one voice when it came to the great stone quarry scene, as being the most wonderfully realistic and accurate stage setting that has as yet been seen in any production, far surpassing in intense realism all the buzz saw and rail road effects seen in latter-dsy dramas.
