Grand Opera House.

The attraction the first three days
 this week will be Oliver Byron in his
 great drama, Ups and Downs of Life, :"
 which tells a pretty story of the drift of human nature. It contains many thrilling situations, which are brilliant ly offset by a fine vein of comedy which runs through the piece. It will be given with handsome scenery and superb cast. Kate Byron as the Duchess" up to date is head and shoulders above all other actresses. It is claimed for the piece that it has not a dull line in it. The comedy is of a genuine and sponta- neous character, the pathos intense, the interest all-pervading. The qualities that constitute good stage work 'are most judiciously blended, and the story is full of so many surprises that the attention of the auditor Is prevented from rowing. If all that is claimed for the work be granted by the public on it's production there will be another suc- cession of full houses. Matinee on We'd nesday.
 Charles H. Yale's Newest Devils s Auction will be seen the last three days this week. Miss Sadie Stephens has been engaged by Manager Charles H. Yale of Newest Devil Auction" fame to play the heroic part of Carlos, the ," In that noted spectacle.

Harry Rowe Shelley of Brooklyn, for merly of this city, is receiving great praise for his new oratorio, "Voxilla Regis" or "Royal Banners" The words are much the same as in the work, "The Royal Banners Forward Go." It is a six-numbered oratoro and has been rendered by Damrosch's orchestra, the Church Choral society and the Choir guild of Brooklyn, and everywhere the work has received fiattering praises. It abounds in beautiful melody and is a first-class work in every respect.

Hyperion.

The Stoddard lecture season at the Hyperion will close tomorrow evening. It is the general verdict that MT. stod- dard has never given greater satisfac- tion. The closing lecture undoubtedly presents the strongest attraction of all in the thrilling account of "The Passion Play of Ober Ammergau."
 Nat c. Goodwin and his excellent com pany will present "AIizzoura" at this theater tonight and the theater will no doubt contain a large audience "Mizzoura" is distinctively Ameri- can play and is a great success. Its strong serious interest is it's leading feature, the comedy element almost being subordinate to the dramatic sit nations. Mr. Goodwin's part of Jim Radburn, the deputy sheriff, is quite unlike anything he has heretofore played. It is a strong character part, in which sentiment and quaint humor are skilfuily blended. Sale of seats now open.
 Tn Old. Kentucky will be seen for the first time in this city Wednesday evening. The scene is laid in the mountainous regions of Kentucky, and the story is spirited, idyllic and thrill ing by turns. Probably the most strik- ing scene is the realistic representa- tion of the Lexington running track, with all the adjuncts and accessories, complete in every detail, Sale of seats now open.

JAS. O'NEILL IN MONTE CRISTO
To-NIGHT.-Of all the plays which
have fascinated the theatre-going pub
lie of this country during the past de-
cade, few have attained the same pop
ularity as the stirring romantic drama.
Monte Cristo. Although many melo-
dramas have been written since MIR.
Alexander Dumas first put Monte
Cristo" before the literary public of this
and other countries no story was ever
conceived that so strongly embodics
the characteristics of a romantic melo-
drama in the true sense of the word.
Monte Chisto" remains q melo-drama,
but 1t Is an exceptional one. 1t is In
one sense extraragant but It's extrava-
gance Is the license of true romance
where the yard-stick Of human proba-
bility must always fall short. Pulsat-
Ing. as 1t does. In every fibre with life
and action, 1t Is not strange that II
should continue to rivet the attention
OF all those who yield themselves to Its
charms. Mr.. O'Neill will present
Monte Cristo" at the Academy of
Music tonight.
THE NEW BOY."-The play of
plays. the play that is natural and in
describab bly, funny, is coming to this
town. 1t will be at the Academy Of
Music on Monday night, In London.
New York and other great cities it ran
TO enormous houses. In far-away Aus
tralia 1t is the charming sensation Of
the year. II Is NIL abou q school boy
and his adventures. He is ha zed- and
forced to do the drudgery OF the school.
The professor snubs him and makes love
to the tall. handsome matron. But
what a sensation when It is discovered
that this boy Is the husband Of the
charming young matrop. The applause
shakes the building. The villain OF the
play is also folied by the boy. His
daughter, who has been hugging n
kissing the little chap, is paraIyzed.
There will be only one performance.
the sale of seats for which will begin
Saturday.
