The musical farce comedy. "A Bag gage Check" was presented to a big house last evening and scored signal success. A farce comedy with a plot is a novelty and such is "A Baggage Check" The play Is full of specialties, and they come so fast that one Is not fully enjoyed before another is begun. The plot is as follows: Willie Waite, young man with lots of money. but lit- tie brains, receives word that his father has just died and left him heir to all his property, and that ChauEcey Court, a young attorney, has been made his guardian. While on the way to the home of his ward, Court loses the check to his baggage. which is found by tramp named Robin Steele, who offers to sell 1t to Isa Conboy, schemer for small sum of money.
 Conboy, having previously learncG of the value of the check, readily pays the sum asked, and immediately assumes control of Willie Waite and his proper ty. In the managing of the affairs of the boy he manages most successfully to get everything pretty we'll mixed up, the entangling of which causes a great deal of amusement.

 A remarkable exhibition of grotesque dancing was exhibited by MT. Louis Martinetti, and a very clever song and dance was contributed by Miss Ollie Redpath. The company, which is head ed by MT. Arthur E. Moulton, who is well known in this city, is strong in every instance. Each one has much to do, and they all do extremely well.
 The performance will be repeated this
 
 afternoon, and all lovers of a first class comedy should not fail to attend.
 Denman Thompson and George Ry- er's- powerful realistic drama, "The Two Sisters" will be at this theater Friday and Saturday, with matinee Saturday, and as usual will doubtless draw out large audience. There are some plays that the public seem never to tire of, and this is one of them. It is a play that touches the heart. The picture is found in almost every neighborhood. Like the songs that become popular among the people because they are of the people, so has this play become popular because it touches human nature; and while it is full of fun, jollity and humorous situations, 1t draws a strong and faith full picture of all that surrounds the lives of yonug people in 8 great city, presenting scenes and characters that are to be met with every day and which are familiar to almost everybody.

The hall is open free to the patrons of the theater.
