per- Frank Todd and the Messrs Egan
Devlin, Cary, Carmody, Hyland De-
Laney and Thompson. Mr.. Fields pro-
sramme is made up of a little of every
thing that is palatable to the popular
taste. The finale introduces the Dark
town Circus in which diversions pc
culiar to the saw-dust ring are some of
the reigning features.
Denman Thompsons pretty story of
New England life, to be seen at the
Academy at a matinee and an evening
performance Saturday, will afford u
renewal of the pleasant associations
which has endeared the play to our
large class of theatergoers. Uncle
Josh and his coterie of old fashioned
New England associates always seem
able to present a pleasant evenings
entertainment. All are cleverly define
ated characters by people who have
been associated with Mr.. Thompson for
many years. The cast includes Archie
Boyd as Joshua Whitcomb," Marie
kimball as Aunt Matilda" Charles II.
Clark as Seth Perkins," w. II. Max
well as Pat Clancy" and Blanche
Dayne as "Rickety Ann" r.. j. Jose
heads the famous double male quartette
in their musical selections. The play
VIII have the advantage of new scenery
and the light effects will be shown by
the aid of the latest electrical devices.
One can hardly say too much in
praise of the company that opens Mon
day evening at the Academy. Headed
by those two artists. Jere McAuliffe
and Joseph Greene, the public will GER
tainly have no cause to complain at the
lack of entertainment, for these two
names alone bear a trade mark for ev-
eEything that is pleasant in the thea
ter. Monday evening they will present
their new sensational comedy drama,
THE Bowery of New York" Ladies'
tickets for Monday evening can be had
at the box office.
The Cornell University Musical or
ganizations will appear next Monday
evening at the rockingham. Wher-
ever they have been this past season
the audience and the highest encomiums
from the press. The banjo club cannot
well be improved upon, and the exuuis-
lite shading of the mandolin club, COM
bined with their perfect time, always
brings forth double encore from the
audience. In special work of solo sing
ers the club is unusually fortunate.
They have three or four men who are
encored again and again whenever they
sing. Mr.. Fuertes. the leader of the
glee club, is particularly favored in
having some excellent songs this sea-
son. Everybody who enjoys college
life and songs will be delighted with
the Cornell boys concert.
Next Tuesday evening brings to the
rockingham for single performance
one of Americas foremost comedians,
Mr.. Thomas @. Seabrooke The pro-
nounced success achieved by Mr.. Sea-
brooke in his new departure, and his
admirable creation of the character of
The Spectator" in Mr.. Broadhurst's
brilliant comedy of the same title, has
been the cause for rejoicing among Mr.
Seabrooke's hosts of admirers and the
theater going public generally with
whom the clever young comedian has
ever been prime favorite The plot
of THE Spectator" is stated to be ad-
mirably and forcibly constructed, with
perpetual flow of comedy, a plenti-
tude of heart interest and some exceed
ingly strong climaxes. The supporting
cast has been especially selected for
its individual and collective strength
for the depletion of the various charac-
ters in the comedy.
