ress and Scott are repulsively successful.
\ OF that the company is without error or
incapable of even better work. but what
1t does in this play is dramatic art of
superior order. The same piece this
afternoon, tonight and tomorrow night
AT the Metropolitan Theater tonight
the romantic play of Killarney" with
Katie Emmett, the popular and success
fui comedienne, as KIttie Burke, char
acter III which she has had great success.
The play IS by Con L. Murphy, the au-
thor of THE Ivy Leaf" and 'Ihe Fairies
w ell" 1t Introduces Miss Emmett in
dual role, in male and female charac-
tiers, with new songs of an order that are
catchy" as the term is, and cling TO the
memory. Miss Emmett has in support
the same company that appeared with
her at the Star Theater, New York; the
Haymarket, Chicago, and the New Cali
fornia, san Francisco. The scenery IS
nearly all new. and it presents some of
the most beautiful views in Ireland.
Miss Emmett is q very successful artist,
and is credited with being exceedingly
careful as to detail in the mounting and
acting OF her plays, as well as one of the
most vlvacious and original OF come
diennes of the American stage.
Mile Christine, the double woman,
draws large audiences every afternoon
and evening and is voted remarkable
curiosity. Her amiability and desire to
please contribute greatly to the satisfac-
uon OF seeing her. She gives entertain
ments this afternoon and this evening
but Will not exhibit on Sundays. She
has been some thirty-fiye years in the
show business" but draws the line at
the day OF rest.
Manager Todd is adhering very closely
to his S-o'clock rule, though some OF the
companies violate 1t in spite OF him. The
curtain will rise at tonight at the MeLro-
politan, as 1t should at all times. There
Is no reason whatever why theatrical
entertainment should begin later than
that-the $40 habi: is a bad one, and it is
to be hoped that the local manager will
be successful In breaking it down.
AT the Metropolitan Theater, Sunday
and Monday evenings, Manager I'D Z.
Kelly of the NInth-street Theater, Ia
coma, will introduce to the public Harry
Waite, the Boston medium, and DR..
Waite, the hypnotist. The claim is made
that young Waite has been a medium
since childhood, that he is genuine
and Whatever the power he exercises that
IL is not cheat or trickery He is an
=
and it is added that he has successfully
met the tests of all American and Eu-
ropean Investigators, including Professor
CrOokes of London and the Philadelphia
committee that is still using an endow-
ment fund to fathom modern spiritual
ism. The Albany (Or.) Herald of Octo-
Der 18th declares that in that city Waite
fully maintained his claims, and in read
ing sealed messages, releasal from bonds
IN the Cabinet business, slate-writing,
etc., he met every test and precaution and
every attempt TO discover human agency
in his work. The Waites are EN- route to
India, as elected representatives of the
National Association Of Spiritualists, to
convention OF that order to be held soon
in Bombay. The claims of the Waites
are all ever made by spiritualists. The
opportunity is offered now to expose
them, and the challenge is made that it
cannot be done, because there is no de-
ceptlon-a claim we cannot believe to be
true, but we give the Waites' challeng @
and await the results.
