company, playing the three-act comedy,
THE New Boy" and under the direc-
ticn Of Mr.. Gustave FrOhman, wall be
at the Opera House Monday evening.
This is the first tine The New boy"
has been seen here. The New Boy"
as a comedy is rich, not in funny s.,u-
atoms alone, for the dialogue is unusu-
ally bright and humorous. Although
the comedy is called THE New Boy,
the boy is really not new; he is the
same troublesome, fun-loving fellow
who has inhab.tated the world since
Cain left the cradle Of Eve. Although
ne IS thirty years Old and married, cir
cumstances force him TO go to school
again. A fortune depends on his doing
SO. Like all school boys the world
around, he gets into innumerable
scrspes,. turns another well regulated
school upside down and finally gets ar
rested for stealing apples. Dire results
are obviated by his saving the fortune
Of the proprietor Of the school.
ROLAND REED COMING.
Roland Reed will present MS new
comedy, "The Politician; or, the Wo-
mans Plank" at the Opera House next
Saturday evening, October 18th. The
piece has made an immense hit and en-
ables Mr.. Reed to be seen to great adj
vantage. The scene is located IN an in
terror town in Illinois, Wooleyv,lle, on
the verge of convention TO nominate
a candidate for Congress. The conyen-
ton is in a deadlock and Limbers
man is likely to be defeated, 50 he casts
about for a compromise candidate, and
hits upon an unsOphisticated old gen.
.leman, Peer Wooley, who has paid
more attention to his garden than he
has to politics, but Timber decides on
running him for Congress, as he has
the one thing necessary, "a barrel"
W0oley is opposed to the idea, but Linz
Der plays upon the ambitions of sister,
and finally gains his consent, and after
many complications he is finally n0mi-
mated
THE RISING GENERATION"
William Barry, who comes to the
Opera House on Friday, October 18th,
has been called the Irish Crane ever
since he parted with his old time part
ner Fay He has now an Irish COM
edy, The Rising Generation" that de-.
picts the rise of an Irish immigrant,
who ventures into politics and with the
help of a pull" goes into the Senate.
In this play Barry conyulsed New
York, and II is said that THE Rising
Generation" suits him better than any
piece he has ever had. OF course there
are some songs and few specialt:es in
Fhe play and they are said to be worked
in cleverly. 1t is not the first attempt
of Mr. Barry to star alone, for during
The past few years, Hugh Fay, his for
mer partner, has appeared with him
very little. Mr.. Barry was always the
favor.te of the two when they were
together, and his reception everywhere
IN his new play demonstrated his pop
ularity at each appearance, so emphat-
ically that he need never look for an
other comedian to support him.
