touches of nature Of a most pathetic and
| tender as well us q comical character. 1t IS
! said to be admirably rendered by most COM
| petent company. Al H. Wilson, rs John
Stofel, the hero, a German shoemaker, Is
very effective. His singing is admirable, and

many people considering this Mr.. Mantells S
| finest impersonation. In Difference to numer-
Gus requests. Mr.. Mantell has consented to
appear in "Romeo and Juliet" for the Satur-
| day matinee. Augustus Pitou, Mr.. Mantell S

with a company of unusual merit.
Few actresses have become so we'll and
| favorably known in so short a time as hliss
Jane Stuart. who plays the leading part in
Augustus Pitou's Company presenting the
character comedy. ''Struck Oil" Miss Stuart
| is pleasing little actress. and has won many
admirers by doing everything well which she
has undertaken. She is a lover OF the Ger
| man language, and speaks II as we'll as she
does her own. Her dialect in this piece is de-
| lightful, and il one did not know he would
surely think she was little German girl who
had been in this country but short time.
Among the songs sung by her is ''L-O-Y-E,
Dot Spell Love-" THAT Boy I Love-" and
Dear Heart"

artists of great distinction. A crowded house
is expected to greet her.

According to the opinions of critics through.
out the country, the play is vastly different
from the average melodrama. There are none
of the usual impossibilites in it, 1t is thor
oughly consistent. There IS a vim and dash
about every detail, and the peculiar Southern
wit is bright. clean and wholesome. There
are several strong sensational elimaxes, but
there is nothing forced about them, and the
curtain goes down at the end of each act with
a fitting picture. carload of special scenery
is used illustrating the piece and Miss Hassar
is surrounded by capable company of play
ers.
