Probably there were leaks all last sum-

There is a petition among the Great

MUSIC AND DRAMA.
''Janen

'Janef4i
One of the best and brightest of all
the Frohman comedies, Jane" comes TO
City Hall this afternoon and evening.
The performance of this comedy in San
Franisco was great success. 1t was
one of the most successful of the season,
and it made an impression that is not
easily forgotten. 1t introduced an ex-
ceptionally clever company of players,
specially selected by Manager Gustave
Frohman. The story briefly told is as
follows: A reckless young man has
been getting money from his guardian
on the statement that he has an extrava
CANT wife. He has really no wife at all,
and when the guardian suddenly appears
on visit it is necessary to provide some
thing that will at least look like wife.
The young man provides himself with
an alleged helpm ate, and his butler oh
ligingly provides him with another.
Then a child is needed and found. An
accounted for. The mother of the first
child comes and demands it, and the
butler who is the real husband of the
masters pretended wife, tires of the
game and exposes the whole trick. The
butler and the maid servant are re-
united, the mother RECEIVERS the child,
and pretty girl comes forward ready
to be married to the hero, while the
guardian beams, forgives every body and
pays all the debts
The tickets are on sale at Stock
bridges. The matinee is especially
adapted to children, and is given at a re-
dueed price to them.
Notes..
Manager McCallum and company are
expected here on the boat from New
York Sunday night. The season will
begin June rs. Scenic Artist Proctor
has arrived and is getting the scenery
prepared for th opening play.
The Camden opera house cat, Opera
Jackn performed his part well at the
opening. He behaved like little man,
walked in upon the stage, greeted the
audience, took conspicuous seat and
watched the principal actors with much
complacency.
