The Queen of Comedies to Be Pro-
 duccd September 28th.
 Miss Rhe Lorraine and Elwin Bar lowe will Sept. 18th stage and present Frohman's great laughing comedy "Jane' at the opera house for the benefit of the High School Library fund. The play will be produced with all the proper costuming and stage settings. The best local talent from among our representative people have volunteered to assist, and under the direction of such capable profes- siouals as Miss Lorraine and Mir. Bar lowe, the public can bs assured of an artistic success and genuine dra- matic treat. The principals appear in congenial roles, and surrounded by such an array of talent, happily cast in suitable parts, and for such con- mendable and deserving object as . library fund, they should command the patronage of all our people.
 Rhe Lorraine comes recommended by the highest praise of the press of the east and west, both as all elocu- tionlst and actress The press notices of her recitals are only outdone in terms of extravagant praise by the notices of her work as an actress. Her work is strong and forcible and shows thorough knowledge of the true principles of art, insomuch as it is true to nature itself, which is the greatest and only true evidence of art.
 Elwin Barlowe has gained an en- viable reputation among his colleagues and before the public as a delineator of chara cter surprising in so young an actor.
 Our next issue will contain some newspaper notices of the success of these people from papers east and west.
