COMING TO THE THEATERS

Mr.. CrcstOn Clarke viii play his annual
engagement this year at the Lafayette
Square Opera House, beginning next Mon
day evening.
The fashionable world and the theater
going public will be favored with bril-
liant repertoire of Shakespearcan and
classical plays, among which Hamlet"
Will be presented with unusual splendOr
and will be the opening bill.
The American public at its present time
is eagerly looking for an ideal tragedian,
such as the thcatergoers have been edu
Gated by Edwin Booth to expect. AL OF
our prominent stars nowadays favor new
plays. Either from lack OF talent, or owing
TO the excitement they derive from new
productions they avoid the great TRACE
dies.
Creston Clarke is undoubtedly the most
promising Of our native actors to enact
tragic rolls, and as Hamlet he strongly
resembles his distinguished uncle, Edwin
Booth.
Mr.. Clarke will appear on Monday and
Thursday evenings and Saturday matinee
AS Hamlet" Tuesday evening The
Fools Revenge" Wednesday matinee. The
Merchant of Venice, +" and in the evening the
first time In this city of Edgar Allan
Poe" dramatizatioE of "The Raven"
by George G. Hazleton, jr., of this city.
On Friday evening Mr.. Clarke will repeat
THE Fools Revenge" and will close his
engagement Saturday night with "Riche-
lieu"
Mr.. Clarke was the favorite nephew OF
the late Edwin Booth, and was considered
by that great actor as his successor to MAIN
tain the family position on the American
stage.
Hamlet" will be featured by Mr.. Clarke,
the scenery being painted from sketches
dra wn by him. He is credited with ha wing
created n record last season of sixteen
consecutive weeks of Sbakespearean and
classical plays.
