The Great Unknown will continue at
the Columbia Theater as given by the
Frawley Company during the remainder
of the week. The long run OF this play
and the continued attendance has attested
to its popularity. It is now announced
that the new play, 1.-THE Social Trust" will
be put on next Monday evening. The
sale of tickets will begin to-day.
Chauncey Olcott is in his final week at
the California Theater, so that the oppor-
tunities for hearing him sing Irish songs
and ballads now remaining are few. Love
Remains the Same" 1.-THE Minstrel Bow"
.sRoy Darling" 1.-THE Young Rose and
other songs are sung nightly, incidental
to the production of THE Minstrel of
Clare"
1.-THE Gay Parisians" is doing the ban
ner business of the season at the Baldwin
Theater. The comedy is certainly the
greatest laugh-provoker that has been
sent this way in many moons, and at no
time have we been favored with more
clever comedy organization than which
is appearing in the piece nightly to
crowded houses at the Baldwin, where it
will be seen for the remainder OF this and
next week.
In MADAME Sans Gene" Sardou's latest
European success, the humor OF the play
consists in the transference of the Duchess
of Danzig's laundry manners to the new
imperial court which Napoleon wishes to
make as dignified as possible. The scene
of the second and third acts is Napoleon's
library at Compeigne. A very amusing
quarrel in the imperial family is enacted.
Napoleon orders Nine. Sans Gene to get
divorced from her husband, as she is dis
grace to the court. In the last act she re-
trieyes her position by proving to Napoleon
that the Comte de Neipperg, who has been
prowling about the court, has no intrigue
with the Empress. The ex-washerwoman
comes out triumphant. This production
comes to the Baldwin after THE Gay
Parisians."
The Orpheum continues to do '1and
office business" every evening. furnishing
| a variety of attractions which are up to
the standard esta blished at that house.
The list of people embraces Edward Favor
and Edith Sinclair, Sydney DeGray,
Mildred Howard, I. A. Kennedy, Biondi,
the four Nelson sisters and the vaudeville
combination.
Every evening this week "Il Trovatore'
will be sung at the TivoIi. The attraction
is considered to be excellent, Judging by
the audiences and the applause. The
favorite operatic work is well handled by
the soloists, chorus and orchestra, and the
ensemble is effective and pleasing. Next
week LA Traviata," .Cavalleria Rus
ticanan and the balcony and marriage
scene from Romeo and Juliet" will Be
given.
Crowds witness nightly the performance
| of s.rhe Ensign at Morosco's Grand
Opera house. This is the last week at the
Grand of James NJ. Bropby, who has a
star part in 1.-THE Ensign" in which he
