not know what the orders are, but
they seem to be under the impress.

THE Little Troonerr March IL.

The great attraction at the
Grand on Wednesday March 18th,
will be the Della Fox Opera COM
pany OF lsome 70 people in their
successful light opera "The Little
Trooper"
The story is based upon the pos
sibitities which are contained in
the fact that a man may have a
wife and yet not be insensible to
the attractions of the rest of the
sex. A sweetheart known before
the wife, by the fervor of her affect
ion and the fact that she does not
know that her loved one has mar
ried, for a brief while makes Capt.
DuvaPs existence torture. He
is Of the French army, and the
scene, which opens in the Bon
Marche Of Paris, shifts to the bar.
racks. The sweetheart meets the
captain and follows him to the
camp. His wife does the same
thing. The former is mistaken
for the wife by the fellow-officers
Of the captain. The wife appears
on the scene, Is appraised Of the
presence OF the other "wife" and
determines upon revenge, thinking
her husband Is unfaithful. She
impersonates lieutenant Of the
company, who has been detained,
and in this character contrives to
keep the captain on tenter-hooks
and is herself forced into q series
OF humorously unpleasant predica'
ments. All ends as 1t should how.
ever, and peace reigns.
