 been enriched by Oscar Wilde's "Lady

 Madame Adelins Patti will be heard on
 Friday evening, February 16. Everywhere
 Adelina Patti is singing on this, her fare
 we'll tour, hundreds are unable to gain ad-
 mission, the largest theatres and music
 halls are crowded from pit to dome at every performance. Madame Patti's recep-
 ton in the cities in which she has appeared, clamor for return engagement. In Phila- delphia, where concert was recently Riv-
 en, the enormous receipts of nearly $l0,-
 GOO was taken in at the box office. Mad anne Pstti's voice Ia still as beautiful as ev- CT, in fact, many critics declare that it is
 richer and that the diva sings with more
 warmth and expression than she did ten
 years ago. The New York He1sld says:
 The voice itself Is stlll beyond compare,
 rich, true, mellow and full If brilliant color. Madame Patti, repeat it, is still In
 the plentitude of her powers. Sale of seats opens Monday, February 12

 An exchange. speaking of "Old Chums,"
 says: Hugh Fay, former partner of Mir. Barry, has returned to the stage, and In his new Irish comedy drama 'Old Chums'' received a royal welcome at the Walnut street theater last night. Not only was every seat filled, but standing room was at 8 premium, and those who were lucky enough to get a seat were not sorry they had come. MT. Fay managed to keep the people in good humor, ably assisted by Miss Polly Holmes as Bridget Mulhearn, |,
 and Thomas Flynn ss Michael Doolin and Steve Maley. MT. Fay took the part of Patrick McCsfrey, 8 wealthy contractor, but slave to drink. He marries young widow and deeds all his property to her. Her absolute brother works on her fears by telling her that her husband intends to take the property away from her and finally induces her to tarn 1t over to him. Around this incident the play revolves. McCaffrey reforms, becomes poor, but eventually gets his property back and is again wealthy. The plot ia interesting, with plenty of humor throughout the play. All that falls to MT. Fay's lot Is done we'll ! aau uo uoS eo"c toIy kOOd peCpi6 Wlt0 1 him. Last nights audience seemed pleased ! with everything.
