"Jane''

Frohman's brilliant comedy success,
"Jane". will occupy the boards at City
Hall tomorrow for an engagement of one
night only. and matinee. The company
presenting Jane" is one of great merit,
as the name of Frohman would suggest.
Mr.. Frohman has an enviable reputation
for handling only the most legitimate
attractions and "Jane" is no exception to
the rule. Adapted from the French,
"Jane" possesses all the elements Of
bright sparkling wit and refined humor,
always sfou nd in those successes pro-
duced in the gay capital of the sister Re-
public, and "Jane" has the advantage
over them all in that there is no risque
situation and nothing in the line of
double entendres.
1t would seem superfuous to write at
length about the play at this late date
for four years it has been played nearly ex-
clusively in the larger cities and it hasu't
worn itself out yet A comedy which
can claim a record of four separate and
distinct New York engagements must
be good material "Jane" has done this,
and to those who have knowledge of
theatrical affairs and the fickleness of
the New York public this statement
will appear nothing short of marvellous.
The amusement history of the metropolis
ahounds with instances where's play en-
joying popularity of positive kind has
gone away into the Provinces" as they
say, returned and found itself forgotten.
Is fS Two
seasons and much of it's fun will be
found to be incorporated in comedies of
more recent date. Although the play
is the result OF English authorship it's
humor is thoroughly in touch with
American theatre goers, and its local
coming is an event of more than average
interest. Our people will crowd City
Hall at the two performances tomorrow.

farley Wax Figures, in Commercial
Hall, North Berwick, tonight.
| Mr.. Morris Steinert, the veteran, goes
| to Europe shortly to play on his harpa-
| chords and clarichords before Emperor
Wilhelm aud the Pope. He has certainly
resurrected the art of playing on these
| ancient instruments. His virtuosity
is extraordinary.
Joseph Haworth is still patient at
| the Boston City Hospital, where he has
been confined since June 4 with an at
tack of appendicitis. His attendant ply
sicians have not yet decided on the time
for the operation, for there is doubt as
to the need of this extreme measure.
Puccini's Manon," an opera that pro-
vokes the attention Of Europe, has been
sung six times in Rio de Janelro, six
times in Buenos Ayres, and six times in
Montevideo, but has not yet been heard
in this country.

company will present Audran's popular
work, "The Mascot" at the Park Thea
tire, Boston. The production will be I'M
der the personal direction of Mr.. John j.

to require comment. Mr.. Braham has
some good material with which to work,
and has already begun active rehearsals
