 "Darkest Russia" comes to Rsid's opera house, "Wednesday night Decem- Der 16 The play is most interesting and attractive one and has met with great success for the last four seasons. It is free from all melodramatic effects and never offends by narrowing scenes. Every characteristic of the land IS illustrated and clever skill is shown in the various types of characters. The police, uihilists, peasants and eXlles are intermingled with pleasing invention and the whole is frightened by cheerful mirth-provoking comedy, which ever holds the audience in happy humor. The grouplngs, pictures and tableanx are realistic and vividly illustrate Russi- aa life.
 Additional interest is added to that successful play "Darkest Russia" by the recent crowning of the Czsr. The Mus covite rule with its crying injustice. hesrtlees oppression and police system is shown in this stirring drama ss it ex- ists today, and under which the people are held in subjection. The play is cle- verIy constructed, and sbounds in in- tensely dramatic situations, climax fol | lowing climax in rapid succession" The plot is strong and the lines are thrilling, | bright and consistent. It is full of heroics | and romance and is staged elebOrAtely | unusually strong one and napy we'll | known and excellent people are in the | cast. Darkest Russia" will be seen at tuo opcIo uouSo NeuncSooy AiSnS DcS' 16.
 The foreign racing men who arrived | in this country last week to take part | in the six-day tournament in Madison | Square Garden, New York, beginning | Dec. 6, may be fine performers on the | track, but in appearance they do not compare fsvcrably to the cracks of this country.

 Those who attended the piano recital of Miss Hertha Tromm, at Reid's opera house last evening, are fully convinced that the young lady is enc of the most | accomplished performers Tucson has | ever heard. The audience, we regret to say. was emall-much smaller than it would have been, had there not been SO many counter attractions. Miss Tromm's playing glves evidence of the thorough training she has received, and which she has augmented with careful. persistent, conscientious practice. Her execution of the difficult passages in her selections of Inst evening won the sincere appreciation of her audience. Her interpretation of the beautiful compost lions of Mendelssohn and Chopin, and her soulful shading of the various pieces, demonstrate that her musical talent is inborn and not wholly the re- suit of mechanical training. All who failed to hear her missed treat which they seldom have an opportunity to enjoy. Miss Tromm, with her mother and father, is stopping at the San Xavier, and will probably remain in the oity for n month
