Opera House. will no doubt be an
occasion OF mach more than ordinary
interest 10 theater goers all next week. Mr..
Y Daily has just finished an uncommonly
successful two weeks engagement at the
Hollis Street Theator. Boston, and his
"A audiences were OF distinctly
fashionable type. Only the most
exclusive attractions are engaged at
The Hollis Street Theater and great many
OF the shows booked there for the current
season have also been booked by General
Manager Albee for Keth's Opera House
IN this city. Mr.. Daley is comedian
who bubbles over with clear cut witticisms
as enectually as you can imagine. His
supporting company is an admirable one,
IN fact one of the strongest travelling. 1t
includes May Irwin, the ioliiest and really
most genuinely funny comedienne on tho
stage; John Sparks, for many seasons a
leading member OF ofEdward Harrigan's Co.
Ada Lewis of Harrigan's Company, who
became famous In one night as the Tough
* Girl; Andrew Mack the sweet singer, and
Others. The piece is replete with the new
est songs, dances and IS perfect comedy
OF a iarcicel nature. The regular matt
nees viii be resumed next week, Tuesday
Thursday. and Saturday and the prices
Will remain at the usual popular figures.
John l.. Sullivan will be seen in his now
play entitled "A True American" in the
Providence Opera House the fret three
evenings and Wednesday matinee of
next week. The play is SAID to be
founded upon incidents in the players
life, and in this respect il Is regarded as
unique. Sullivan himself has been
unique public figure and probably no man
OF modern days has possessed personal
magnetism to a greater degree than the
ex-champlon pugilist. Even after his de-
feat thousands still believed that ho was
the peer of all boxers. Those who
fancy fancy great physical development

Elliott, is accused by Victor Dupre aud
Nick Brent of cheating at cards. lie in
dlgnantly denies the accusation, and
claims that 1t Is plot on the part of two
villains to ruin him. Colonel Verley,
while regretting the affair, requests
Elliott to discontinue his visits 10 Verley
Hall until the matter is cleared up. Mrs.
Kate Preston, the heroine, openly pro-
claims her belief in Elliott's innocence.
The second act shows interior of Bat
terry 3, and depicts in most spirited
manner the heroic stand made by our bows |
IN an exciting battle. A very strong
sccne takes place between Jack and the
villain, during which, goaded by the lat
ter's taunts, Elliott strikes him. Dupre
nt once orders him under arrest. While
the order is being executed Mrs Preston's
little child is seen in danger
near the battery. Elliott springs
and saves it at peril of his own life.
1nish. BY clever dramatic trick Elliott

captaincy by making Brent confess and
establish his own innocence. Dupre Is
arrested Tor being spy, and Elliott wins
