po1r's WONDERLAND rHrArEn.

Again this week is there a brilliant entertainment in store for all who visit Polls Wonderland theater The star feature of the bill is Miss Bonnie Thorn ton, who will appear in an entirely new repertoire of her characteristic songs.
 Miss Thornton is unquestionably the leading exponent on the American sta ge of a particular kind of singing popular with all classes. Tn her songs she touches some of the foibles that are common to various phases of our social Life so deftly and subtly that the nearer finds himself reasoning as to just what idea Miss Thornton meant to convey in
 her lines. 1t Is an illustration of true artistic genius which no other American artists, and but a few of the French singers, have been able to achieve. Miss
 Thornton is, besides, wonderfully magnetic woman, getting into close and instant touch with her audience and swaying them at will. An excellent speciality company has been engaged to support her, including among Its nlem- bsrs such well known artists as the three Namedos, Arnim and Wagner, Flynn and Walker, the Valdares, Juno Salmo, Smith brothers, George Graham, and McMahon and King It is a com pany every one of whom has been cho- sen with special reference to proving a support to Bonnie Thornton.

GRAND OPERA HousE.

This week we are to have comedy at son of drama last week. By varying his attractions MT. Bunnell is able to cater to the wants of an parties, and here lies the secret of his great success. He is particularly careful in selecting his attractions that nothing offensive in either song, word or jest is presented to his patrons.
 The sensation in New York, London and other great cities, even to far away Australia, is the play called The New Boy" It is a farce comedy, brilliant with delightful humor, and keeps the audience in laughter and applause through the entire three acts. It is all about schoolboy, bright little fellow who sleeps with the bully of the school, is kicked and cuffed and made to do the drudgery, such as stealing apples, smuggling in whiskey and the like. But he is no boy at all He is a business man, thirty years old He has recently married a handsome widow, large, af- fectionate woman who towers above her husband so high that he was taken by all her old admirers as her little son, whose father is in the cold tomb, The widow is the matron of.the school and the doctor in charge of it hopes to mar ry her He has willed her all his prop erty on condition that she will not mar " again. So she humors him and feas him imagine that her usband is a hoy He has a fearfully funny time with the boys and plays wild pranke, which keep the school and the audience in an uproar
 The last three days of this week Mur- ray and Mack and an excellent com pany will present their successful com edy entitled "Finnegan's Ball."
