sALvIsr IN THE THREE euARDsNEs.

sALvINI IN THE THREE GUARDsMEE.
The Three Guardsmen" has been
seen before in this city, but in the hands
of Salvini it is play that has potency
that seems incapable OF being effected
by repetition. 1t Is difficult for US, in
this money-making and law-snd-order
commonplace age. to believe that there
really was time when the lawless SOL
der of fortune was numerous enough
to be ruling force whose business aud
pleasure il was TO kill, ever ready to
whip out his sword at a trifie, 10 pay
court to another mans wife, or 10 90
brawling through the streets 81 mid
night But there were such persons
who Dragged like towards and fought
like heroes, and Salvini is generally con-
coded to be the ideal OF them all. He
throws the glamour OF romance over
everything he does. His duelling man
ners, his handsome person, his peculiar
humor, even his slig htly foreign accent,
all give life 10 D'Artagnan as Dumas
conceived him, and as he no doubt actu-
ally lived In the time Of Louis Nil. In
his Forthcoming production OF the play,
Salvini's many admirers will have a
chance TO see all the elaborate scenic
effects, brilliant costuming, and armo-
rial properties which were made for the
Manhattan Opera House production in
New York City last spring.
"a PAIR OF KIDS"
This play, which is to be seen at the
Grand Opera House next Thursday,
Friday and Saturday, is In its ninth
year OF success, and Is OF the kind that
those who have seen 1t before want to
see it again, and those who have not
seen it do not want TO miss it this time.
The audience laughs from the time old
"Jiles Button" comes into Doc Dofun.
ny's restaurant until the descending
curtain hides him from view as he
stands In the prison corridor, OF course
allowing for breathing spells between
the acts. The best summary OF "a
Pair of Kids" is that IL is indescribaby
and irresistibly funny from beginning
to end.
CHARLES DICKSON TWO NIGHTS.
Manager Reister continues TO deserve
the approval Of our theatre-goers. His
latest announcement OF the appearance
of Mr.. Charles Dickson for the Wheel
ing Opera House cannot be praised too
highly. Mr.. Dickson will be seen there
on Wednesday, Sept. e, in "lncog" and
on Thursday, Sept. 7, in Admitted to
the Bar"
The story Of "Incog" is the story OF u
young man who, being driven from
home by his father for refusing to mar
~ his ward aud persisting in lovlrg the
wards companion, determined TO re-
turn incog. so as to be near the object
of his affections. To this end he dis
guises himself so as TO resemble pho
tograph which he has picked up. I'm
fortunately the photograph Is that OF a
pair of twin brothers who cannot be dis
tinguished from each other, one OF
whom has a wife and the other a sweet
heart living In the same house. The
brothers both arrive, OF course, shortly
after his appearance. 1t is upon the
complications that arise out OF this sit
uation that the play and the fun turn.
AT THE MUsEE.
There was large attendance at the
opening Of the Musee Theatre, under
the new management, last evening, aud
the performance was witnessed with
the greatest satisfaction. The prices
of admission to this theatre are very
low, while the programme offered Is an
attractive one, and the indications are
that there will be a large patronage
right along.
IN "JUST LANDED"
Just Landed" opened at the Grand
Opera House last night to packed
house. 1. laughter and appreciation
on the part Of the audience is any cri-
terion, the engagement Of Just Land
| ed" bids fair TO be one OF the most sue
cessful the house has ever known. The
play is a satire on emigration and is
funny from beginning TO end. Oh the
comp nothing but good can be said.
Perkins d. Fisher is always appreciated
here. John Leach, as the Italian and
Chinaman, is excellent. Richard Mo-
rosco and Gus Mortimer are extremely
clever Miss Jean Delmar, as "Manola,
is very attractive and graceful. Misses
Eloise Willard is very pretty, aud
makes the best Of her part, having as
well very sweet voice. Mile. Tex
arkansas is one Of the best dancers ever
seen here.
