po1I,s WONDERLAND rHEArrR,

The great novelty bill that is run
ming this week at Polls Wonderland
theater is drawing great crowds at
every performance. Everybody is thor
oughly delighted with the brilliant spe-
cialtes on the bill. Especially attrac-
tive is the wonderful acrobatic work Of
the RONALD brothers, and it is quite
certain that it Is a distinct novelty.
Their head to head balancing and stair
case acrobatics have never been
equalled here, and go far to make many
people accept the judgment of the Euro
pean press that they are the greatest
of living acrohats. The Manhattan
Comedy -Four head the comedy part of
the bill, which is of the very highest
order and immensely popular. Others
who delight the audiences are Miss
Cushman and Holcombe in their sweet
singing, Mr.. Nelson and Miss Milledge,
Cunningham and Staley, Miss Maud
Deity, Mr.. Howard and Miss st, Clair,
and Moncrieff and Jess. Performances

fore it is positive novelty and must
cal combination entirely new to the con-
cert going public; and the ladies' quar-
tet associated with Mr., Johnson is
wholly unlike any other female quartet
inasmuch as it is composed of two
mezZa sopranos and two deep contraltos,
combina ton of voices such as was new
er brought together before in any female
quartet, and the effect of their singing
is the nearest approach to male quar-
tet that can possibly be produced with
ladies' voices, and their singing in con-
nection with MIR. Johnson forms a quin-
tet of voices seldom heard together, and
the harmony produced with the five
voices is most delightful to listen to and
style of singing positively new.

Modjeska will make her farewell ap-
pearance at the Hyperion on Saturday
eveing in "Magda." Modjeslla's first
production of this play was in Chicago
two years ago, where it created a gem
eral sensation among play-goers of that
city. The scene is laid in a typical Ger
man middle-class home, where tradi-
lions are apparent authority. Years
ago, the older daughter had broken way
from this prison and become a citizen
of different world. She returns in the
garb of a rich and peerless prima donna,
and from the moment she enters, the
old conflict of opinions is evident, until
the drama moves on to it's catastrophe
with inevitable directness and convinc-
ing force. "Magda"is now being play
ed in Europe with tremendous success
by both Bernhard and Duse. Sale of
seats opens Thursday.
