superior singing, eXcelling in magnifi
cent scenery and gorgeous costumes,
teeming with novelties and refined
comedy, that is what comprises the de-
lightful entertainment that George
Thatcher and Carroll Johnson's min
strels viii offer to the theater-goers of
this city when they appear at the
Academy of Music Saturday evening.
The names of Thatcher and johnson
need no introduction to the theater-

stu so pleasantly remembered In the
different offerings they have brought
us.

Comedy company, which appears at
the FrOthingnam next Monday, Tues

regular show this season the charming,
petite little soubrette, Miss Carrie
Louis. This magnetic little lady seems
to gain i'm popular favor every second
her graceful figure dances before the
blazing footlights. Her work Is eX-
ceedingly clever. In addition to their
threc-n!ght engagement, they VIII give
matinee5 Tuesday and Wednesday for
the low price of 10 cents.
Palmer Cox has managed to make 4
clever fairy spectacle out of the
Brownies and Malcolm Douglass has
composed some very pretty music for ii,
but jefferson Klaw & Erlanger have
done the most of all. They have re-
produced Mr.. CoN's picture Brownies
with remarkable fidelity and have sur
rounded them with the handSomest of
scenery and the most startling me-
chanical effects. This wonderful at
traction will be seen at the Frothing-
ham Thursday, Friday and Saturday
April H. 8 and 6.

Robert AIantell produced a new play,
"The Husband" at Leland opera house,
Albany, N Y, Wednesday. The play Is
an adaptation by Espy Williams from Tom
Taylor's "Retribution." Taylor took the
play from the French, and Mr.. Williams in
his version has preserved the central idea,
but In changing the denouement he has
introduced new characters, at the same
time using but few of the original lines.
The first two acts are somewhat tame,
but the last two are full of bright lines
and quick action.
