COMING TO THE THEArERs.

| evening, in Glen MacDonough's new play,
miss Dynamite" 1t is his most ambitious
work and is generally pronounced one OF the
most entertaining as well as brilliantly writ
ten farce comedies OF American authorship.
Not only does it abound in extremely ludic-
rous situations but many of the characters
| are delightful and interesting. The central
role is that of Miss Georgia Day. young
American girl, who exhibits all the breeziness,
independence, and self-reliance we are accus-
toned to associate with Kentucky girl. Her
sister, Marion, is devoted loving and senti-
mental young wonnan-lust such person as
the more commanding Georgia wants to con-
troll and direct.
The uncle of the two girls. Drexel Day, is
fine type OF the successful American man ot
the world. Ned Vance, Tom Morton. and
Eugene Webber are three Bohemian artists
living in the Latin quarter of Paris, talented,
ambitious, and Industrious, but poor. Mrs.
Henrietta Cruger 1s a wealthy American
widow living abroad and is character that
| furnishes the writer of comedy happy mate
rial A French detective and an English for
| Iune-hunting nobleman complete the list OF
| the principal personages who contribute to
| the development of Mr.. MacDonough's story.
The scenes are laid in Paris, depicting with
| great fidelity some phases Of life to be found
| in the CAV French capital. Frederick Bond
and an excellent company support Miss
Jansen.
Mr.. j. z. Emmett, in our old friend
''Fritz," will be seen next week at the Acad-
envy. in the most delightful of all the charm
ing plays that have identified this popular
comedian, and endeared him to men, women,
and children the world over. In this play,
! s'Fritz in a Madhouse," he will be the same
| brave. loyal, fun-creating German as OF old;
he will have the same bright smile, and will
sing entzancing melodies, which he has COM
| posed expressly for the play, chief among
| which is a charming Lullaby" and most
novel Bubble song.
''Fritz in a Madhouse' combines strong
| human interest and an element of comedy in
| a most delicious manner. The third act, in
which Fritz supposes he is in a lunatic
asylum. is uproariously funny and is received
with shouts of laughter. Miss Emily Lytton, a
beautiful girl and an artist of exceptional abiI-
| ity. renders most efficient assistance to Mr..
| Emmett. and the juvenile department Is rep
| resented by that most precoclous OF stage
children "eute" Little Baby Spencer Sinnott

Misses Florence Foster, Annie III. Ware,
| Florence Germaine. Messrs. Hudson Liston,
