This Is very important and should be
borne in mind by theater-goers. 1t has
been found necessary to do this on ac-
count of the length of the play. The
New York Sun says: "'Shore Acres,
a four-act play by James A. Hernc,
was produced at the Fifth Avenue last
night and scored an unquestionable
success. OF It's artistic worth there
can be no two opinions. 1t was night
of triumph for Mr.. Herne."
Manager rockingham takes pleasure
in announcing the return engagement
of "Hoss and Hoss' New Years after
noon and evening. 1t has been greatly
improved since it was here in August
and the company strengthened by the
addition of Rose Sutherland, Americas s
champion buck and wing dancer. The
Buffalo Express of Nov. said: "The
hosses of 'Hoss and Hoss' are still run
ming. The play has all it's old-time
liveliness. Anyone who has seen this
show, which surely was funny farce
comedy should know that it is as funny
as ever, and the company that gives It
this week at the Lyceum is a good one.
Carrie Sweeney as the Bowery girl is,
of course, as good as could be. Jacques
Kruger in the principal role is as good
as any man that ever tried the laugh
provoking part of Judge Willie Hoss.
Harry Crandall is very good German
comedian, and the rest of the company
are first-class. 'Hoss and Hoss, as pre-
sented by this company, will revive old
recollections, and the production will
not suffer in comparison with the first
great company that took this show on
the road"
MY Partner" will be presented at the
Academy of Music on Wednesday even
ing by Louis Aldrich and company. Mr..
Aldrich will appear in his original role
of Joe Saunders, a part he has made
famous, and which is accepted by crit
les as the leading character creation of
virile Americanism on the stage. Theo.
Hamilton, Wright Huntington, Frank
Kendrick and the Misses May Hosmer,
Florida Kingsley are few of the prom
inent names in the supporting cast. The
scenery and effects showing the pic
turesque mountain scenery in the far
wesD is elaborate and makes worthy
frame for this ideal picture.
