PoLI's WONDERLAND THEATER.
A long line of people kept waiting over
a half hour last evening at Polls Wonder
land, for it was impossible to gain even
standing room there after 8 O'Clock last
night. The tall boy from Kansas is the
principal card, and bigger man has never
been seen here before. He AL. the bill in
every particular. Manager Poll allows any
one Of ordinary stature to stand upon a
chair, and If they can reach the $500 that
the giant holds in his hand they can have
it. So far this weak no one has come
within seven inches of reaching the covet-
ed money. The entire program is good
and it is safe to say that q better specislty
performance has never been eesn here be-
fore for the price of admission.
This evening q dramatic treat will be
afforded in the reappearance of Daniel
Frohmsn's Lyceum Comedy company, who
will present Ssrdou's latest comedy.
"Americsn's Abroad" 1t has held the at
tention of New York, Boston and Chicago
fashion for the past year. 1t Is play in
which the interest continues until the final
reconciliation. The third act is reserved
for the great Frenohmsn's best work, and
in this two unusually interesting situa-
tfons are treated in q most exceptionally
novel manner. The piece Is to be staged
here with all the original scenery and ac-
cessories. Sale of seats now open.

In ga Gilded Fool" which ia the main
feature of his repertory this season, he Is

fesaional career. 1t lie quite unlike any
play In which he has heretofore appeared,
and is q comedy pure and simple, with a
story, the interest of which is we'll sus-

GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
The Fay Foster big burlesque company
had good houses at the Grand Opera house
yesterday. There will te matinee and
evening performances to day.
The success of play depends upon its
being adapted to the pleasure of all classes.
The sentiment should not be over-burden-
ing and should be SO pure that the most
fastidious can enjoy it without being in
any way shocked. The sscret of the great
success of Exit" the Arkansas Traveller,
lies in its being . play built on popular
lines Its sentiment il pure and its fun so
uproarouely funny that one sits convulsed
with laughter. Find . play that goes
right into human nature-when you find
this, you find interest. That is exit"
Al the Grand Opera house the last three
days of this week.
