1.-THE Geneva Cross play which is
strongly dramatic, in every situation,
ill be the attraction all next week at
the Peoples Theater, commencing with
matinee to day. The inspiring music of
the French National airs, the wild Choir
uses of the Communists, a d the stir and
hustle of the quickly moving incidents
of the plot aud counter plot, are all alike
bound to evoke much enthusiasm. The
fine part of Reil du Bourg gives Mr..
Morris great opportunities to display ar
tistio work such as the Lost Paradise
also brought forth, the part being excep-
tionally congenial to him. Miss Bradley
also has grandly emotional part, and
the comedy scenes are in the capable
hands of Allene Crater and Richard
Obee, who has not appeared since the
first week, and makes his temperance
in the light comedy part of Simon Cor
nichet.
The Bijou management, slways alive to
nounce one of the best bookings of the
season in the engagement the coming
week of Jacob Lifts great naval play,
''The Ensign" The story of The En-
sign" relates to the jolly Jack tars OF the
q. S. navy, and life and scenes on board
q man of-war makes it still more inter-
esting to those who love nautical ro-
nance. Perhaps speaking periodically
the histronic diplomatic incident OF Ma
son and Slidell could not have been
turned to better account than in play
for the entertainment of the old and the
instruction of the young. Surely that
which adds to the public respect for the
blue uniform of the American soldier
and sailor, is patriotic thing. That
which fires the heart with fresh admira.
ton for the navy of the u. S. and with
renewed love for the Union, is worthy of
praise. For those reasons the Ensign"
will be accepted as pleasant break in
the monotony of meaningless plays.
Last Monday evening merry party of
young people chartered an interurban
car and went to St. Paul where they
