COMING ATTRACTIONS.

Regular theater patrons keep men
tai record, hs 1t We're, of all the most
successful metropolitan dramatic pro-
ductions, and are therefore keenly
alert regarding the announcement of
a new offering and remarkably quick
to recognize a play as having won
special distinction in all the more i'm
portant cities. 1t is for that reason
that an extraordinary interest is be-
ing manifested in the Forthcoming
presentation, at the Academy, this
evening. of Russ Whytal's romantic
play Of Southern sentiment. entitled
lively assured, comes here with the
original cast and all the scenic and ar
tistic equipment that invited so much
exalted praise at the Fifth Avenue
theater, New York, where it enjoyed q
prosperous as well as singularly con-
spcuous engagement and commanded
the unstinted endorsement of the press.

The brightest of all eXtravaganzas.
Edward +. Rices 1892" will appear
here at the Academy next Friday even
ing, with its galaxy Of prominent art
lists and glittering scenic adornments.
Many new and elaborate improvements
have been made and up-to-date satires
and specialties introduced, resulting In
the burlesque being stronger than ever.
The title OF Rice's Surprise Party" Is
by no means a misnOmer, as the enter
tainment fairly teens with surprises.
Mr.. Rice has proved himself such
genius in the burlesque line that novel;
ty is really the synonymous with the
mention Of his name. 1t Is an assured
fact that "1492" has suffered no loss at
the hands Of its new dressmakers. Ow-
ing to the engagement being limited the
business here will in all probability be
enormous.
