- William Gillette's most successful
comedy, ",roo Much Johnson" comes to
the Metropolitan next Sunday night for
a weeks run, with the prestige of an
entire seasons run in New York, where
the comedy received a great reception
and scored the one big triumph OF the
season, playing continuously for ten
months at one theater in the face of
bad times and all kinds of competition.
Gillette has been a most successful fash
ioner of plays intended to make audi
ences laugh, and success has always at
tended his serious efforts. His Held by
the Enemy was the first great play
based on the war of the rebellion. His
lighter achievements, beginning with
1.-THE Professor" and "The Private Sec
retary," and later came "Mr. Wiki
son s. Widows The comedy will be
presented by an excellent company, I'M
der the management of Charles Froh-

Fifteen years ago BARLEY Campbell,
one of Americas representative play
wrights gave to the stage melodrama
that was at once recognized for its
power and the vividness with which it
pictures a subject that was then upper
most in the mind of the public, the SEN
fencing of subjects by the Russian gov
eminent to penal servitude to Siberia for
the slightest offense. This play he
called Siberia" and for fifteen years it
has stood the test, and is as interesting
and as true to the nature of things today
as it was fifteen years ago. Siberia
/ will have splendid revival at the Bijou
following "Tennessee's Pardner."
That funny farce comedy, t.McSorley's
! Twins" will appear at the Bijou in the
near future, presented by a company of
excellent comedians, headed by Fergu-
son and limerick. -
That sparkling bit of mirth, music,
: dancing and gymnastics known as
Eight Bells" will be presented here
/ soon. In Eight Bells" the Brothers
\ Byrne have all excellent medium for
the display of their peculiar talents. I'M
proved in many ways, and with the in
PRODUCTION of much new business, this
odd mixture of pantomime gymnastics,
comedy and specially pretends to no
higher mission than that of making a
& merry performance.
