Mrs. Julia Marlowo Taber, who closed
her brief season at Palmer's Theater,
went out OF New York a very happy wo-
man. For some years she bad not ven-
tured into the heart of theatrical New
York. She has played near by, but has
kept lust out of reach OF the Broadway
public. At last after long fiuttering,
inothlike, around the metropolitan can
die, she has taken the inevitable plunge
into the flame, and, strange to saw, has
come forth without any damage to the
wings of her ambition. While she has
not gained n name for herself among the
greatest actresses of the day she has cer-
tainly produced n most excellent impress
sion. and gives promise q even better ac-
complshments.

ed with such success during ber tour OF

ter" is as follows: Justine, a farmers

by Lizzie Stark, who asks her TO

secures his safety herself. Nine years al
ter Lizzie Stark, under the name OF Mad
anne Laurent, makes her appearance at the
house of Lenox, who has become a
wealthy author, accompanied by Jack
Hartley, under the alias OF Philip Bertrsm.
Lenox has become weary OF his country
wife and longs for other society. Madame
Laurent, aiced by Bertram, lays trap Tor
the unsuspecting husband and wife,
which they fall into and separation en-
sues. Justine ana her child take up quar-
ters in an old house on the Harlem river,
where they are pursued by their enc
mics, and the child abducted. The child
is taken TO the home OF the Starks, an
old garret where she saves her father from
being murdered by Jack Hartley. Lizzie
Stark becomes repentant and brings
about reunion OF mother and child.

Innes' Famous Band Coming.

One of the most interesting events of
the coming spring season will be the ap-
pearance OF Innes and his famous New
York Band at Infantry Hall on the
11th of April. This organization is we'll
known TO have brought the art of mill
tary band playing TO a science which has
been the admiration OF the musical en-
tlusiasts Of the country. The present Is
the 10Th semi-annual tour of the band.
The program embraces several novelties
which will be heard in this city for the
first time. Among them may be men.
tionei two numbers by Innes himself,
which already promise TO achieve ma
tional popularity, namely: "Cupid's
story Gan intermezzo), and "Danse
Americaine." Another pleasing bovelty
will be the new "Fairy Tale Set to
Music" by Richard Strauss, the present
''piece de resistance" OF the Boston Sym.
phony and Thomas orchestras. which
Is called "Frolics OF Till Nulonspiegel, I"
and which describes in humorous vein
the adventures OF this mythical hero OF
German folklore.
