FRIENDS" AND MEXICO"


~"Followipg Sir Henry Irving and the
London Lyceum Theatre Company will
come that favorite play Friends which
will be presented Sunday, Monday, Tues
day, Wednesday evenings and Wednesday
Matinee. Friends has established itself
as a representative American play, and its
long and prosperous career is evidence OF
the place it holds in the hearts of the
American theatre going public. The
present engagement will mark the third
visit In this city. Yet each time it has been
announced for production, greater excite
ment has been evlnced. 1t is such a
delightful story of modern chivalry, and
so cleverly combines wit, humor and
amusing situations with scenes OF deep
pathos and startling climaxes as to inter
est every body. Thursday, Friday and
Saturday nights and Saturday Matinee
will be devoted to Edwin Milton Royle's
second Successful play, Mexico or "A
Modern Petruchio.' Great interest is
manifested in the first production of this
play by those admirers OF Mr.. Royle, who
predict a brilliant future for the young
American dramatist who by his first effort
Friends, established himself perma-
nentIy In the world of art and letters.
Mexico Is a more p~retentious effort than
Friends requiring a larger cast, pictur-
esque scenery and beautiful costumes,
and effects for each act. 1t is
best described as a most original and legit-
innate romantic comedy. In u delightful
breezy fashion it tells of some romantic
episodes that occurred during the war OF
1851 between our country and Mexico.
IT tells a charming love story, and is full
of witty dialogues and exciting situations.
in Cleveland, Chicago, st. Paul, Minneap-
oils and Kansas City 1t was accorded high
praise by critics "a theatre goers."

gifted natives is from a New

she moved with her daughter, Mrs.

Mr.. and Mrs. Cooper built the first

spoke of how the Indians and wolves
would come to the doors. Her ancestors
were not noted for longevity.
Mrs. Cooper has lived under the admin

A PHENOMENAL UNCLE TOM SEASON.

From the Iowa State Register.
Slater & Martin closed their "Uncle
Toms Cabin" engagement at the Grand
last night. They gave our performances
in all and every time the house was packed
from top to bottom. The revival of "Uncle
Toms Cabin" was like a religious revival;
1t struck all the people and old and young
came to see what they had seen before.
Much credit must be given to Messrs.
Slater & Martin; they understand manag-
ing and advertising. The success OF their
season, shows what advertising can do.
The little folks who have been crowding
the opera house will have many pleasant
remembrances of Little Neva, who acted
the part of Eva. Miss Neva, whose mother
is Miss Nellie Huff of the same company,
was an ideal Eva; sweet and winsome,
and light and angelic. She is ten years
old, and mas been five years on the stage.
She is off the stage as pretty and unaffected
and unspoiled as on the stage. Last even

number OF little admirers, and entertained
them IL her dressing room. At New
