O-Oo-Oo-o-o-o-OO-oHOeo
The fun makers are coming. Every
one who has ever seen Herbert L.
Flint and his daughter, Marina. viii
rejoice to know that they are COM
Ing here and with An entertainment
that Is better than ever. It contains
features that it never embraced be-
fore In the first place there is
whas one may call "The Sleeping
Beauty" This is q lady that is
placed in hypnotic sleep and under
the charge Of committee in the
front OF one OF the largest shops In
thercity. There she remains locked
in trance for 20 hours. The build
Ing might burn over her head and she
would be oblivious to it. This is NO
sham. In every city the regular
ply sicians have made practical tests
aud have declared that the lady is
locked in cataleptic sleep SO pro-
found that nothing will arouse her.
We anticipate that the sp ctacle here
will create profund astonish meut.
The Flints will be at Harper's theatre
for seven nights, commerc:ny Sun
day. Nov. IA Prices Is, 25, IS and
60 cents. Reserved seats at d euer

Clever. popular and characteristic
I'm Murphy and his merry assist
ants, including dainty and vivacious
Dorothy Sherrod, will be the attsac
ton at the Burtis tomorrow evening"
This organization is the same iden,i-
CT sterling company with two excep.
tons that supported this clever
comedian last season, wh.n he
scored one Of Davenport's greatest
t'iumPhs, ard it is claimed by the
management that this seasons pro-
duc.ion will far exceed sny of Mr..
Murphy 5 prior ,he4trical ventures,
which means great deal, AID Can
he relied upon, as from pa.t ex.
perieuce droli. Tim Murphy, al
though but a young man, is one OF
the shining lights OF tho American
sisge today. and when his rapid ad.
vances in the dramatic profession are
taken into consideration it seems
nothing short of marvellous, aud the
same can be said of Miss sherro,,
one ct the most beautiful .oathcrn
women before the public. whose par.
entage claims close connection with
some OF the renowned American
Observation-Disclosures Pat.
rick Henry and President Madison,
deceased. in fact the same little lady
that has been Mr.. Marphy's Leading
support for "a Texas Steer" and bis
present highly successful comedy,
sod Innocence. which is the pria-
cipal feature OF this seasons tour,
dsinty dramatic Bit that reca Is
m ,ny pleasant moments to all who
we're lucky enough TO witness it last
sesson, and in addition to this hu.
moronsly pathetic comedy MIR. MUIR
ply will present the latest character
novelty. 1.-Two Can Play at the Same
game" or "A Texas Congressman. !"
The title Of THE Mysterious Mr..
Bugie" has occasioned some amount
OF comment auguring we'll. for the
attention paid to the most successful
comedy from Mrs. Ryley's now ia
nous dramatic libEary. 1t does not
seem odd that man Of any kind of
mystery should 60 through life with
such a name as "Bugle". There is
something SO decidedly opposed 10
quiet, or say stoslth. in the pame
that one caunct help wondering why
he didn't change it, There is GER
tainiy nothing mysterious about a
bugle-possioly the name may have
been chosen in the prevailing spirit
OF comical irony--and like Little
John" of old. he may have acquired
q name describing ..what he is not".
Joseph Holland heads the list OF a
well known company Of comedians
who are to portray the farce; they
alone. however, command follow
ing Of sincere admirers, and have the
respect and good wishes OF a publ,
that is somewhat discrimin ting in
it, hestowal of these favors. "The
Mysterious MIR. Bugle" will be seen
next Tuesday evening at the Buriis
opera house.
1.-The Whirl OF the Town" is SINH
lar in construction to its predecess-
ors. "Iu Gay New York" aud 1.-The
Passing Show" 1t is as merry an
entertainment as either one of these,
and last Sunday evening. when it in
augurated its Chicago engagement
at the Columbia theatre, the audi
ence, which filed every part of the
house, received it with the greatest
enthusiasm. The company is ore Of
the best that the Casio o management
has ever sent to Chicago. II includes
Louis Harrison, who was with Lillian
Russeli at the Columbia during the
Worlds fair; David Warfield. who
tells Hebraio stories as no one else
