wang" comes to the Academy OF
Music for tonight and a special matt
nee at 80 p. m. this afternoon. Tho
company in its entirety is superior
one. The scenery is the most gorgeous
that money can purchase, and II there
is anything in the royal palace at
Bangkok not represented on the stage,
no one has missed 1t. The chorus Is
composed of the prettiest faces known
to the profession and the many fault
less voices carry the opera with fresh
ness seldom found in companies where
so much care is observed in selecting
principals. The matinee prices are 25,
SO, 70 and 81.
A rafting good show called Austin's
Giganteans, with his famous Living
Pictures" will be at Davis theater all
next week. We predicate this declara-
tion on the glowing reports contained
in the Binghamton papers. Manager
Davis attractions of late are excellent,
and we believe next weeks will not be
an exception. The Living Pictures"
to be shown, were at the Palace thater,
Boston. This Is q recommendation of
no mean proportions, as the only ad-
verse criticisms of Living Pictures
have been as to their propriety. If
eminently proper Boston can look at
| these representations with delight and
enthusiasm, we think an average Scran-
tonian will do likewise.
Captain Harry Ford, of the United
| States army, is the name of the charac-
ter which is impersonated by Joseph r.
Grismer in "The New South" which is
announced for its farewell presentation
| in this city at the Academy Of Music
next Monday night. Miss Phebe
Davies, the beautiful and accomplished
| star, assumes the role in this play Of
| Georgia Gwynne, a sweet and inter-
esting type Of the southern state after
which she was given her christian
| name. 1t will presented as q benefit
for the Ney Aug Hose company.
Monday night the second Of the series
Of concerts will be given at the Froth-
| ingham.
| "McKenna's Flirtations," the roaring
| comedy which Is old to most theater'
goers in this city, says the Lowell Era,
was nevertheless amusing, inasmuch
as new people appeared in the two lead
| ing characters They are Dan Will
Jams, in the role of Timothy McKenna,
a contractor, and George X. Henry, as
| Michael Ryan, retired milkman.
These rising stars are ably supported
by John NJ. Welsh, Fred b. Hill, Charles
| Whalen, William lie Tort, Miss Blanche
Moulton. Miss Emily Northup, Miss
Margaret Gallagher Miss Hattie Dell
wood, Miss Helen Kemp" "McKenna' $
Flitations" will be given at the Froth-
ingham next Tuesday evening.
"Tim the Tinker" which will be pro-
duced at the rockingham next We'd
nesday and Thursday evenings, con-
taihs q number of first class stage eff
fects. The illuminated Battery Park
scene in the third act, and lakes of Kill
larney are excellent pieces Of stage
mechanism, and display clearly the
wonderful advancement this season in
stage carpentership. The purchase OF
the necessary scenery for any piece OF
realism necessitates the outlay of a con-
siderable sum of money, and failure
means more than the public realizes.
