Mansfield.

No engagement has created the
widespread interest among theatre
goers, as that of Richard Mansiield's
appearance next Thursday at the
Burtis opera house. Davenport, for
all are anxious to see the great actor
in a part of whom they have read so
much about. The demand for seats
indicates that MIR. Mansiield's en-
gagement will be the largest ever
known in the history of the opera
house. Mr.. Mansfield stands today
the most accomplished actor before
the public. 1t was difficult to ascer-
tain what selection from Mr.. Mans
fields extensive repertoire would
best meet the appreciation of our
theatre-gOers, but the choice has
fallen upon prince Karl" which
viii be generally applauded. Where
Mr.. Mansfield has created great
many impressive and notable char
acters. his characterization of
prince Karl" easily ranks as his
most brilliant triumph.
