The Wizard of The Nile.

"The Wizard of the Nile," the inter
esting comic opera which gave such thor
ough satisfaction here last seaso.., Will
be at the Providence Opera House next
Thursday for three nights and Saturday
matineee, with Frank Daniels as the WIZ
ard Kibosh and ell the competent sup
porting company formerly seen here,
with the single exception of new Cleo
patra, this time in the hands OF Miss Ed
ma Thornton, a charming young singer
who is making her American Debut with
this company, after years of arduous
preparation under the tuition Of cele-
brated Partisan teacher. A feature which
was particularly noticeable with this
company last season, and which Is said
to be carefully preserved for the present
one, is the high quality and great attrac-
tiveness OF the chorus. But too often
the excellent work OF the principals of
an opera company Is sadly msrred. If not
entirely ruined, by careless work on the
part OF the chorus, and although the
average auditor may not be able TO des-
iGnate just why the ensemble does not
please, yet the feeling of disss tisfaction
is III, re. Messrs. La Shelle and Clarke
have been fully alive TO the Importance
OF this, and in addition to the wstchful-
ness devoted to other portions OF the en-
tertainment, they have provide ed cho-
rus marvelously satisfying as to the
strength and freshness of the voices, and
as to the attractive appearances of the
young and pretty girls. Therefore, the
eye and ear OF the auditor are simultane-
ou'ly delighted. and the background
upon which may rest the work OF the
principals becomes all that could be d e.
sired.

Columbia Theater.

The bill was so good last week at the
Columbia Theater that consider
able curiosity was aroused to see what
1t would be like the second week of
Manager Hsrrington's venture. II was
all right. Nearly all OF the acts were by
performers who have made fame in pur-
ticular specialties. While the first week
abounded with fine vocelism, the second
week seems also to have a distinctive
character. Ii consists of comfort ion
and balancing work, and most OF 1t is OF
the, e,Dest quality. Perhaps this In Man
ager Harrington's idea, ana IL IL Is main
tanned, lovers OF vaudeville will have an
opportunity TO see the most expert ex-
ponents OF certain kinds OF entertain
ment and be afforded the satisfaction OF
comparing certain styles and deciding
upon a particular feature as being the
highest type of speciality work by artists
whose fame preced ed their appearance,
perhaps for YEARS. Three or four per-
formers came under this head yesterday,
and both the afternoon and evening audi
ences we're highly pleased with all pre-
sented for their pleasure.
First on the bills were Mr. and Mrs.

end other things balanced with the finest

farmer, told stories and sang comic songs
pleasingly. The Moore Sisters danced
and sung. and Jerome ana Alexis gave a
marvellous contortiop performance as
the human frog and lizard. This was
very effective act, ana IL was likewise
popular. Bonnie Goodwin sang serio-
comic songs nicely and looked attrsctive.
The Mcrellos were especially pleasing
In their comic acrobutio exercise, special
tricks and slack wire walking. They.
likewise, had a well-trained trick dog to
make their act more interesting. Mile.
Proto, a petite little woman, offered a
graceful tam BORNE dance and high kick
ing act which won general favor.
The particular star OF the show was
Ens Bertoldi, said 10 ne the premier
equilibrist and contortionist OF the world.
Certainly her act was marvellous In
several respects. She accomplished the
most difficult kind OF body balancing
with startling precision and grace She
seemed to be able to twist her anatomy
into ell sor,s OF shapes with impressive
abandon and ease. The California trio
offered a comic Chinese speciality, and
the bill ended with an exhibition from
the popular and always pleasing cinema
togrsph. Twelve pictures were shown,
and some OF them were new here. All Of
them we're entertaining. TIE same bill
will be presented every afternoon and
evening this week.

"A Social Highwayman" 10 made very
interesting play in the hands OF the Hol-
land brothers and their capable supporting
company. This was agreed to by large
audience In the Providence Opera House
last evening. The play made an excel
lent reputation from the players stand
point on its frat visit last season, and
the Holland brothers made many staunch
supporters among lovers Of the drama be-
cause OF their brilliant skill In imperson-
sting the thieves.
The human fomily believes in graft
tuds. They admire friendship even II 1t
Is misdirscted. and sympathy Is extended
sometimes TO very bad men aud women
because of some known loveable trait in
their otherwise crooked character. This
is illustrated In the audiences witnessing
the arch thief In his work that gained for
him the title OF a social highwayman,
and the stead fast fsithfulness and devo-
tion of mis- less polished but equally skill
ful robber serving man. Actual sympathy
with the predicaments OF the scoundrels
and evident pleasure because they escape
Just punishment Is felt In tho theater. III
the mimicked scenes had less polished
and accomplished players perhaps the
larger portion OF the spectators would
not lose thought OF the stern command
ment, .."Tnou shalt not steal" "snd for
get that they pay high taxes to make
prisons and places of confinement for
Just such fascals. The crime Of "A So
cial Hiehwsymsn" has no excuse, but
the playwright has illustrated an inter
esting story and catered 10 certain ele-
ments OF human nature that nave received
the plaudits OF the world since the dawn
of intelligence.
Mr.. K. ~. Holland makes q remarkable
study of the lesser well dressed thief and
