ROLAND REED.

Roland Reed and his excellent company, including Isadore Rush, will be the offer ing at the opera house Friday night. MT. Reed will present for the first time here his new comedy, "The Wrong MT. Wright" which has scored an immense success. It is highly amusing and enter taining, and MT. Reed has been fitted with strong character in Seymour Sutes. It is that of wealthy man who had been famous for his parsimony until he became interested in pretty woman, when the lavishness of his generosity exceeded all bounds. This individual had been robbed of $50,0 900 by trusted clerk. In hopes of capturing the thief himself and thus save the reward offered, the merchant assumes the name of MT Wright. It so happens that the abscond- ing clerk also assumes the name of MT Wright. Numerous complications result A fascinating young woman is engaged by a detective agency to take charge of the case. She meets the wrong MT Wright, and believing him the guilty man, strives to make him fall in love with her. but she also learns to love him her. self, and is heart-broken, until she learns that he is not the right MT. Wright, when happiness comes to herself and everybody else who deserves it. There are half a dozen other characters, an amusing Eng fish lordling, an heiress who, wishing ''to be loved for herself alone," changes places with her maid, an inappropriate ed spinster who longs to be loved on any account. a hypecritical psalm singer and a United States artillery officer. In MT Reeds company are Mary Myers, May Monte-Donico, Alethea Luce, Chas. Coote, Chas s. Abbe, Holbrook Blinn, Sheridan Tupper Julian Reed, John H. Bunny and James Douglass.

AT O'BRIEN'S.

So great is the interest of the public in all things Napoleonic that the appear ance of Rhea and her able company in our city, in her beautiful play of Joseph ine," vii not fail to achieve the triumphs and satisfy the most exacting. Properly speaking Josephine, empress of the French, Is less a drama than a series of vivid historical tableauX, with strong character adjuncts. Rhea's Josephine is the Josephine of the age of sensibility rather than one who would be portrayed today and in this is depicted the craft of author and artiste. It is a wonderful successful and fine play, not through the employment of brilliant dialogue or artful leading up to climaXes, but through talk ing advantage of what may be rather called human passions. Love, glory, de- spair, the greatness of the figures that move before us, the pomp of their set ting, the sharp contrast of the attain ment of ambition, and the chattering of happiness, the fact of which of these peo- pie surrounding the central was per- sonage sufficiently great to mark an era. All those make the five acts far too short to contain the great drama from the be- ginning of our century. Rhea's Joseph inc is distinctly absorbed, gentle, adoring being. It will always be a Josephine in which the great artiste will win unstinted plaudits.
 Josephine" will be presented at the special Wednesday matinee, while on Wednesday night Rhea will close her limited engagement, when she will pre- sent Schiller's masterpiece, Mary Stuart This most literary of plays, beautiful in construction and exquisite in it's various shades and colors, has been given a most complete cast and careful staging by Rhea and her managers. It
 is this season, the feature of her repor- toire, and critics generally agree that it
 is one of the greatest of her many sue cesses, and will serve to raise her still higher in the regard of those who uphold the legitimate and the beautiful in the drama.
