Nine. Rhea closed her engagement last

ladies'.
Mr.. Edmund L. O'Connor appeared as

sive. Some of the costumes worn by the
ladies in Nine. Rhea's productions are gor-
geous creations.
Sydney Grundy's Sowing the Wind will
be the attraction at the theater to-mor-
row night. This play, which is in the
third year OF its career, has been talked
about and written about more than any
other dramatic composition of recent
years. Its story is one of marvellous in
way and the plot is developed so skill
fully that the audience is kept eager and
alert from the opening scene to the fan
of the curtain.
Ned Annesley a dashing and attract
i've young man of social position, falls in
love with a London concert singer, at the
hight of her professional triumphs. Brab
azon. his adopted father. takes exception
to the young woman, whose parentage is
involved in doubt He forbids the mar
rage, but Ned manfully remains steadfast
to the girl RosamOnd. A crisis arrives,
and Ned defes Brabazon and is cast off.
AT this juncture Rosamond appeals to the
old man, who hints at the cloud of her
birth as an insurmountable objection. She
pleads the injustice of holding her to &C
count for the sins of her parents She
puts the designing cruelty and selhshneSs
of man in the balance against the weak
ness of woman. Sex against Sex is her
theme, and it is the theme of the play.
The audience has already discovered that
Brabazon himself is Rosamond's father,
he having betrayed and deserted her
mother before she was born.
Brabazon, however, does not know that
Rosamond is the child of Helen Gray,
his sweetheart of long ago, and, of course,
Rosamond is not aware Of her relationship
to Brabazon.
The old man, recalling his own guilty
youth, tries to excuse his sex from the
charges brought against it by Rosamond,
but the proud and talented girl meets
him at every turn with her Irresistible
logic, and drives him from every position
1t is a splendid contest on both sides. The
battle ends with a splendid charge, and
eounter-charge, and then follows the de-
nouement, in which father and daughter
are made aware of the whole terrible
truth. No more thrilling scene of this
kind can be imagined, it is said.

costumes, especially those of Rosamond
are described as magnificent.
Roland Reed and his excellent company,
including Isadore Rush, will be the offer
ing al the theater Friday night. Mr.. Reed
will present, for the first time here, his
new comedy, The Wrong Mr.. Wright
which has scored an immense success.
1t is highly amusing and entertaining
and Mr.. Reed has been fitted with a
strong character in Seymour Sites. 1t is
that of wealthy man who had been ia
nous for his parsimony until he became
interested in a pretty woman, when the
lavishness Of his generosity exceeded all
bounds. This individual had been robbed
of $4,000 by a trusted clerk. In hopes of
capturing the thief himself, and thus saving
the reward offered, the merchant assumes
the name Of Mr. Wright 1t so happens
that the absconding clerk also assumes
plications result. a fascinating young
woman is engaged by a detective agency
to take charge of the case. She meets
the wrong Mr.. Wright, and, believing him
the guilty man, strives to make him fall
In love with her, but she also learns to
love him herself, and is heartbroken, un-
til she learns that he is not the right
Mr.. Wright, when happiness comes 10
herself and everybody else who deserves
it.
There are half dozen other charac-
tiers, an amusing English lordling, an
heiress, who, wishing ito be loved for
herself alone" changes places with her
maid, an ''unappropriated" spinster who
longs to be loved on any account; hyp-
ocrItical psalm singer and a United States
artillery officer. In Mr.. Reeds company

An entertainment replete with originate
~ and headed by comedians who are
well and favorably known as creators
and originators, is what local farce COM
edy lovers are promised next Saturday,
matinee and night, when Murray e Mack
the original and famous Irish comedians,
will appear with their Company, in their
latest success "Finnegan's Courtship,"
which is promised funnier than any of
their long list of successes. That is a
bold assertion, but their success the pres
emit season justiies it.
"Finnegans Courtship,' while a farce
comedy, cannot be classed with the aver
age entertainment that is travelling under
that guise, as 1t has a wen defined plot
and there is rhyme and reason for all Of
the funny mishaps and incidents, which
being thoroughly Understood by the au-
dience, make the fun more enjoyable. OF
course the three acts are lightened and
frightened by an abundance of music and
concerted and individual specialtes, but
they are introduced with a view of fitting
the surroundings and not dragged in pell-
nell just to fill up time, as is very often
the case.
Among the many specialties introduced
will, Of course, be those OF Murray &
Mack, who stand pre-eminent as speciality
entertainers Their side walk talk, bur-
lesque circus, burlesque Spanish dance,
and burlesque boxing match are cham
pion fun makers.
The Music Clubs concert course for this
season has been abandoned The follow.
ing card will explain the situation;
