GRAND OPERA HOUSE.
LADY Windemere's Fan"

Lady Windemere's Fan"
"With emphatic endorsement
from New York, Boston, Philadel-
phia and Chicago, Oscar Wilde's
brilliant play, "Lady Windermere's
Fan" will be presented by Gustsve
Frohman's company at the Grand
Opera House tonight and tomor-
row night.
1t is entirely reasonable to sup
pose that the play will be seen
here by audiences Of distinguished
brilliancy, and this for the reason
that "Lady Windermere's Fan" is
an extraordinary production. 1t
will be found to appeal strongly to
society circles, for the accomplish
ed and observing Mr.. Wilde gives
herein a presentation of social life
in London, in this fag-end OF the
nineteenth century.
1t is a decidedly risky thing, but
so we'll has Mr.. Wilde draped his
ideas of the story, and so choice is
his selection of words, that while
one sits absorbed by story OF in
tense interest, the ears are charmed
by continuous line OF philosophical
observations and epigram, the
buds and blossoms of the art OF
conversation. In short, "Lady
Windermere's Fan" may be COM
mended as a treat, even delight
full treat, for those Of literary tastes
and for the student Of men and
