GRAND OPERA nousr.

"The Lost Paradise will be present. ed the remainder of the week, matinees
 Friday and Saturday.
 In reviewing the merits of "The Lost
 Paradise" one is constantly reminded
 of incidents of detail which impels the
 spectator to see the play again, which perhaps accounts for the phenomenally successful run it had in New York
 city.
 It was in this play as "Reuben War ner'' that William Morris achieved one
 of his greatest successes. Ills manly portrayal of the superintendent of the mills, who, while working conscien- tiously for the interests of his prin- 1 cipals, feels compelled in honor, to sympathiza with the workmen whose 1 grievances are so vividly pictured in the second act. A fitting climax and l a genuine triumph of scenic and dra-
 matic art is shown when the doors
 of the office are thrown open, disclos-
 ing to view the ponderous machinery
 in perfect detail, and at the order of
 the superintendent, the men close down,
 the wheels cease to revoIye, and not-
 withstanding the sacrifice he makes of
 lis. own personal benefit, he joins them
 in the hour of trouble when "a, clear,
 cool head is required to guide them
 pretty, interesting love theme is
 carried throughout the play, and our
 hero appeals to the daughter of the
 millionaire nlill-owner to prevail upon
 her father to listen to the voice of the
 people. Her words are not in vain ! The parent yields to the entreaties of his child and the pathetic instance of a, half starved delicate child, daughter of one of the oldest employees of the town, visiting the palatial mansion, i concludes the great scene which illus trates so plainly the difference between their situations. Sufficient comedy is infused to alleviate the sombre effect ! of the troubles of the working class. POTTS WONDERLAND TREATER.
 There can be no questioning the pop ularity of Polls Wonderland theater this week, nor the reason of the popu- larity when account is taken of the ex- cellent show that is running. Such a collection of novelty acts is not often gotten together on one vaudeville bill, and it is small wonder that, despite cold waves and snow storms, crowded houses have been the rule since the opening performance on Monday. Be- sides the great cock fight that takes place between a genuine game cock and Walter Stanton, who is made up as a rooster, during the barnyard sketch which he presents in connection with Miss Tina Corri, there are many other prime novelties and brilliant special ties. Among them may be cited the acts presented by the Misses Beatrice and Goldie. the Rinehart family, MT. Kaye and Miss Henry, Heely and Mar l ba, Harding and An Sid, Harry s. Mar l ion, Ward and Lynch, and Mile. Olive. l Next week Bonnie Thornton, the bon niest little comique that the American l stage has ever produced.

Mile. Jane May will play a return engagement Friday and Saturday ev- enings.
 Mile. Jane May as a pantomimist is simply wonderful, every emotion finds expression in her face as clearly and more Vlvidly than on the pages of an open book. Her facial command is ab- solute; talk about speaking features! Mile. Mays features fairly chatter and with a rapidity that could scarcely be eXcelled by her tongue, even though the performer be a woman and a French-woman too Her gestures also are wonderfully potent in the expres- sion of thought. ....
 There was one scene which was so wonderfully plain that no one in the audience can fall to understand it. It is the presentation of the bouquet to Miss Pygmalion' by her lover. Sure ly his proffering gesture said as plain ly as any words: "See what I have brought you.' Her reply is; Are those for me?" And the retort, with shrug and bow: 'For whom else, if you will accept them"
 Mile Jane May is ably assisted by a company of twelve pantomlmists. The performance is a novelty. It is clever and artistic to & degree
