When Mrs. Potter made her first APP
pearance in London, ten years ago. the
critics of that city, without exception,
declared that underlying her crudeness
she showed indications of unmistskable
talent, and predicted thatlin future years
she would be heard from as polished ac-
tress. Their predictions are now verified,
for Mrs. Potter, on her present American
tour, has received the highest praise
from critics in every city in which she
has appeared. Her engagement here in
conjunction with Mr.. Belew and sup
ported by an excellent company, Is an
nounced for Monday, Tuesday and We'd
nesday, April 10, 16 and IL, at the Provi-
dence Opera House.
The repertoire of this company is ex-
ceptionally strong and popular, and pre-
scnted with such excellent artists should
prove a most attractive one. Mrs. Potter
is devotIng her life to the stage, has
worked hard and faithfully TO accomplish
the object OF her ambitions, and although
in the past she has been assaiied TO an
unwarranted degree-particularly by the
New York critics-she has succeeded In
making those who were most bitter In
their attacks acknowledge that she is an
actress without peer in America.
Mr.. Bellew years ago won his spurs from
the stage, and is invariably Acknowledged
as one of the best romantic actors of his
time. The repertoire will be Alexandra
Dumas famous comedy, "Francillon," on
Monday night and at the Wednesday
matinee, and "CharlStte Corday" on
Tuesday and Wednesday nights. This
will prove to be one OF the most brilliant
and satisfying dramatic treats of the sea-
SON.
The last three evenings and Saturday
matinee of next week at the Providence
Opera House will be devoted to Irish
comedy, with that sterling and always
popular comedian, Joseph Murphy, in his
favorite roles. Thursday and Friday eve-
uings "Shaun Rhue" will be presented
and Mr.. Murphy will impersonate Larry
Donovan and Shaun Rhue, and sing his
remarkably successful song entitled, "a
Handful OF Earth" Saturday after
noon and evening the beautiful Irish
play entitled "The Kerry Cow" Will
be seen. Mr.. Murphy will be Dan
O'Hara, the Kerry blacksmith, and
the remarkably realistic scenes OF the
forge and race will be put on with unus-
ual elaboration. The supporting company
is stronger than that usually supporting
. star, and lovers of Irish drama will have
probably the last opportunity to see the
comedian who has made fortune by
catering to those who admire the best in
the art.

Makers Is the welcome announcement
for Easter week at B. 4. Keith's Opera
House. commencing Monday next, April
15 When those strong Providence
favorites appeared at Keith's last
season their success in "The Rain
makers" was quickly secured and 1t
was accepted then as one OF the very fun
niest farce comedies ever produced. 1t is
jdst as full of fun as ever and the irresist-
IDLY humorous antics and climaxes OF
Percival Alright Donnelly and Phelix
Bottles Girard are as productive OF un-
bounded hilarity as OF yore.

After Donneliy & Girard, for the week
OF April 22 "a vaudeville entertain
ment will be presented at keiths
that will surely open the .public's
eyes. The finest artists obtainable have
been selected from among the best in the
ranks of those engaged in the famous
Keith circuit of continuous performance
theaters in Boston, New York, and Phila-
delphia. They form what Is known as
b. +. Keith's Own Great American and
European Novelty Co., and the performers
are Billy Emerson, the great and original
Billy, the peerless minstrel who has not
been seen in Providence for years; Maggie
Cline, the unapproacha and only Mag
gle, who is known the world over; Bunth
and Rudd, the great European favorites
and the most grotesque comedians In the
world; John G. Rice and Sally Cohen, the
farce comedy stars; A. o. Duncan, the
best ventriloquist on the stage; the Barra
troupe of Partisan musicians, and num-
Der of the hig hest salaried performers in
vaudeville.
When the history OF Japan comes to be
written Mrs. Potter and Mr.. Bellew will
be found to have been the first exponents
of Shakespeare in that country. 1t was
during their first visit in Japan some years
ago, that they played "Romeo and Juliet"
Merchant of Venice" "Hamlet and
Macbeth" thereby introducing these
plays to the Japanese.
A good many playgoers are anticipat-
ing pleasure at the performance OF James
A. Herne's play of "Shore Acres" in the
Providence Opera House next month.
"Trilby," drama of the period, will be
presented by A. M. Palmer's company in
tho Providence Opera House, May 13, IA
and 10. Its Boston and New York sue
cess is matter of record. It Is the popu-
lar stage attraction Of the present time.
"Charley's Aunt" which comes to the
Providence Opera House for week be-
ginning Monday, April 20, is great
farce comedy triumph. 1t is the only
play of its kind which has received the
unanimous approval OF the critics. No
writer has yet been found whose verdict
was against it. Nobody has seen it
who hasn't learned that he never knew
before what the full value of q laugh was
or how many laughs could be crowded In
to two and q half hours Of time. The
play is running with extraordinary
success In London, Paris, Berlin,
Russia, Italy, Sweden, South Africa and
Australia. 1t is In It's second year In Lon
don, drawing bigger crowds than ever,
and in that one place alone 1t has made
it's author, Brandon Thomas, and actor
w. II. Penley, who has the title role, in
dependently rich.
Wilton Lackayo, as Svengai, has ap-
parently not alone hypnotized the un-
happy Trilby, but has also performed that
pleasing function for tho whole city OF
Boston.

Warren's Great Farm.

Ex-senator Warren's ranch in
Wyoming covers an area of rs by 100
miles and is stocked with 1900
horses, IS, 900 cattle and 1870, 000
sheep. The extreme length of Rhode
Island is so miles, and her extreme
breadth is IS miles, her area being
1850 square miles. The area of Mr.
Warren's ranch is z, 500square miles,
and it is therefore just six times
us big as Rhode Island.
But let us not make haste to turn
the laugh on little Rhody. The War
rem ranch lacks but 615 square miles
of being as big as Massachusetts. II
is bigger than Connecticut and two
Rhode Islands put together and
nearly four times as big as Delaware.
