Another very strong bill will be offered
at the Columbia Theatre during the COM

Sadie Stevens and Ben j. Miles, in a
musical travesty entitled, "Faust Up Too

ical novelties, bright new music and
illustrated songs and this will bc GER
tainly one Of the very best things Column
bia audiences have yet seen. Adeline
Marlen, the operatic vocalist, should be a
strong card, and the famous worlds trio
cannot fail to make one of the big hits of
the bill. Irish comedy will bo cleyerly
exemplified by the Pattens; and the
Appleton Brothers will present novel
and lively speciality. Nelson, Glnsereti
and Demonio, the renowned aerial
comiques are another good thing, and
Payne and Grape In that laughable
sketch, "The Typewriter, will contrib
ute much to the comedy element of the
bill. The Flying Naiads are five young
ladies who will be seen in the most re-
markablc and novel aerial act before the
public, introducing elaborate electrical
hiiu 'l'tiS vi tiit lloSl SllfI-
ling character. Julia Kelly, the famous
bone soloist and banjoist, is equal to the
best in her line, and Mr.. and Mrs. Lew
Crouch, in their musical speciality, will
surely be great favorites throughout the
week. The Sisters Geline, well known
in Providence, will present their artistic
songs and dances, and jenkins, the wire
king and club swinger, will be seen in
most remarkable act. Herbert Eaton,
the favorite operatic baritone, will add
much to the enjoyment of bill unus-

"a Milk White Flag" Is an unmerciful
Satire on the citizen soldicry and the love

Is sharp and pointed and yet so adroit
that even the people so ruthlessly treated

The piece teens with witty lines, par
ticularly Hoytesque In their sharpness
and the follies and foiblcs of the dress

humorous, and to use parade xical ex-
preston, kindly severity.

brighten and improve It. The company
presenting the piece will, as Is usual
with all Hoyts' attractions, be an ex-
cellent one. All the old favorites will
be seen in their original roles, while four
new faces have been added. The costumes
and scenery are all new to please the eye

Josselyn and the Lucier orchestra have

thing that artistic ingenuity and

and as result series of pictorial and
sensational effects pass before the specta-

in admiration. The ship scene is made
most realistic by the use of real steam and
by the fact that the deck is an exact model
of an ocean liner. A French turrct ship
by crossing the bows of the Britishcr adds
much Co the realism. f" The heavy duh

Charlotte Cushman's idea.

The new version OF Sir Walter Scott s
"Guy Mannering," under the title of
"The Witch of Darncleugh," is being
pushed vigorously I'm rehearsals and il
will be produced i'm Daly's theatre, New
York, next Monday.
This play the central figure i'm which Is,
of course, Meg Merrilies, to be represented
by Miss Ada Rehan, differs from the old
one so long used by Miss Charlotte Cush-
man and Mime. Janauscheck, in having n
prologue, in which Meg is shown as n
young woman, and thus her later history
and her emergence i'm the play proper gains
n heightened effect by contrast with the
first view of her. There is an interesting
bit of dramatic history connected with
the prologue. When Charlotte Cushman
was making ready for her actual farewell
To the stage, she had good deal of CORE
spondcnce with Mr. Augustin Daily In
regard To the possibility OF his directing
her last performances
Although it was just about at the time
his old theatre had been destroyed by fire
January, 1s73-Mr. DAILY was reluctant
TO step so far afleld from his own special
enterprises. 1t was during the tentative
negotiations that the notion of fitting a
prologue TO "Guy Mannering" was de-
yelopcd. This was Mr.. Daly's idea, and
had he gone into the affair the prologue
would have been given then. Miss Cush-
man, however, instead of appearing under
his direction went to Booths Theatre and
tho prologue was not presented. Now,
twenty-four years later Mr.. DAILY has
his old scheme.
