Monday evening Morrison's famous
company in grand spectacular presenta-
tion of Goethe's Faust" will be the
Columbia's attraction. The piece is said
to be a magnificent production. On Sun
day afternoon Congreve's famous comedy,
Love for Love" will be given by a COM
pany of amateurs composed of students of
the State University.
"Bluebeard' still reigns in grimly comic
fashion at the Tivoi and no one as yet
seems tired of his sway. Tonight a testi-
moniaI benefit will be rendered the ia
vorite comedian, Thomas c.. Leary, at
which the Elks will be present A special
feature of the performance will be a
friendly set-to between Joe Choynski and
Eddie Creamy, while favorite actors from
the other theaters will appear. The sale
OF seats has been very large.
Last nights production of "The Story of
Rodion the Student" at the Baldwin was
meritorious in most respects and some
passages were warmly applauded. To-
night beau Brummell" will be given. and
since it is said to be one of Richard Mans
fields best the sale of seats has been good.
Miss Beatrice Cameron and Miss Florence
Ethel do their work we'll; but one or two
other members of the cast could easily be
dispensed with.
Mrs. Auzerais Hoyte continues to bask
in the sunshine of favor at the Alcazar.
Her methods in "My Son-in-law," while
leaving room for i'm provement, are by no
means lacking in fine touches. The
Growers and Mr.. Foster. with Miss Aubrey.
form capable support for Mrs. Hoyt. and
the general result is pleasing.
The Orpheum's "Midgets" are draw
ing card, their wonderful evolutions cali
ing forth bursts of applause nightly Ed
ward and Josie Evans in their comic spe-
cialties are very good, as is also Fulgora,
the transfgurator, whose illusions are
most mystifying. The other numbers on
the bill are up to the usual standard.
"Lady Lii" holds court at the Grand
Opera house, where Miss Lise Leigh
makes gem of the strange part. The
acting throughout is natural and some
what smoother than on the opening night
while the stage settings and scenic effects
are specially appropriate and tastefully de-
signed.
The horse show at the Auditorium is a
great all-round success, but the little Mexi-
can mule is the star of the combination
His antics are indescribable. The evolu-
tions of the other members of the equine
cast are graceful and intricate, displaying
the most careful drilling on the part of the
trainers and the existence of quality near
akin to intelligence in the horses them
selves.
