Lincoln J. Carter, who has made a
great deal of money out Of the scenic
mclodrama, "The Fast Mall" has
fairly outdone its mechanical wonders
in new piece bearing the suggestive
title of "The Tornado" that was
presented to a large and enthusiastic
audience that tested the capacity of
Havlin's at both Sunday performances.
The play is plentifully spiced with
sensational situations. Among the
scenic features are collision at sea,
sinking ship, burning house, and
finally tornado that displays to thrill
ing advantages the present possibilities
of stage illusion. Mr.. Carter was
called before the curtain and made
brief speech of thanks to the audience
for their appreciation OF his handi-
work. Chicago Inter Ocean, Tues
day, May 80, 90.

Rev. G.. f. Weeks the respected
pastor of the Baptist Church, began
a series of spiritual meetings on Mon
day night to which all are respectfully
invited. These meetings will con-
tinue for several weeks, and 1t is to be
hoped they may result in much good
to all who participate and feel the
need of spiritual erdeavor. And we.
contend that all who are rightly con-
stituted feel it keenly sometime in
life.

Gliding & Co. are having busy
times these days Last Saturday was
the opening of their Red Letter Sale
of suits and overcoats and they've
been kept pretty busy since. OF course
this is supposed to be dull season
(after the holidays) but Gliding &
Co. believe in selling goods and keep
ing busy all the time. Even if not at
a profit, it keeps their stock new and
fresh. This is the chance of a season
to cloth one self at low figure, and
no doubt our readers will take advan-
tage of it.

"The Tornado" Lincoln J. Carriers
realistic play, which received its initial
presentation at Havlin's about fort
night ago, will return to the same
theatre for the coming week. The
realistic features of the piece as shown
by its previous presentation proved to
be the most elaborate of any of the
attempts in that line that have been
seen in Chicago. The tornado scene,
in which buildings are swept away and
whirling masses fly hither and thither
on the stage, is more ambitious
effort along the line of realism than
the storm scene in the Davenport
production of Sardou's Cleopatra.
The play which the author has fitted
to his realistic effects contains human
interests and natural results and COM
bines with the mechanical feature to
make an interesting production. e" The
Tornado is already booked in some
of the large cities of England, although
it has had less than a month Of exist
