Robert Mantell has new play which
he will present at the Grand Opera
House on Friday, March 26. The work
Is written by Bicknell Dudley and tells
love story OF the Huguenots. Henri
and Marguerite Of Navarro are impor-
tant personages in the drama. Mr..
Mantel plays Raoul de Puycadere, a
Gascon adventurer. who escapes the
massacre Of St. Bartholomew and wins
the hand of the fair Gabrielle de Vris-
sac, maid OF honor to the queen. The
play is entitled IA Gentleman From
Gascony" Manager Mart Hanley prom
ises big production. The scenery is
all new and OF the mediaeval period,
the costumes will be extremely pictur-
csque and historically correct, animated
scenes such as the coronation festivi-
ties, conspirators' meetings and en-
counters, incidental to the massacre OF
St. Bartholomew day, require large
numbers of auxiliaries on the stage, and
exciting action. The cast calls fol
twenty-six speaking parts and Mr.
Mantoll's company has been augmented
TO the full requirement.

a BLACK SHEEP" MONDAY NIGHT


Hoyts company will, on next Mon
day. al the Grand Opera House present
"a Black sheep" a production of
Charles Hoyt's clever pen and excellent
ideas OF state management, which was
designed for no purpose but TO enter
tain and bring dollars to the box Office,
and in those objects il has met with
complete success. II introduces in what
may be called an almost stellar capac-
ity, n rollicking. jolly comedian In the
person OF Otis Hnrlan-a fellow with p
unickness, deftnoss and a Drained
facility for saying and doing, in m adj
mlrably unstudied and laughablo way,
things that would disturb any mans
dignity and are calculated to drive care
far away. Harlan is q good singer, and
his rich. mellow voice certainly aids
him IN making the character he por-
trays q success. Il is one Of Mr.. Hoyts
happy faculties to secure pretty girls in
all his companies and "A Black Sheep
is no exception. Since last season Mr.
Hoyt has improved "a Black Sheep" by
adding three new characters. The
music Is all new, and the speciality fea-
lures that he has introduced are said
TO be- of strictly novel character.
