Bell in The Hoosier Doctor" the success
full comedy drama by Augustus Thomas,
author Of Alabama" "In Missouri" etc,
VIII unquestionably prove to be one of the
dramatic treats of the season. The sue
cess achieved by Mr.. Bell and the notable
excellence of the supporting organization
with which Manager Duncan b. Harrison
has surrounded him has preceded him and
awakened q more than ordinary degree Of
interest on the part of our theater going pub
| lie. Laura Joyce Bell will be seen in her
famous creation of the scoldlug mother-in-
law. The supporting company is identcally
the same which achieved the phenomenal
seven weeks run at the Grand Opera house,
Chicago.
Tho Hoosier Doctor will be presented
at the Creighton during the first half Of
next week, beginning with matinee on
Sunday.
"a Southern Romance which will be
seen for the first time in Omaha at Boyd's
on Friday and Saturday, with a Saturday
matinee, deals with woman's struggle
with that great passion which has wrecked
and blighted so many lives. 1t is the old,
old story of love and pride. The scene is
laid in central Kentucky, and founded on
| Dolly Higbees novel "1n Gods Country"
Into the tranquil existence of a well bred
but motherless girl, living alone with her
! financially embarrassed father and betrothed
| to a wealthy but rather lively young man
with whom she has grown to womanhood-
| her own and her fathers choice-there
comes a spell against which she is wholly
unable to contend. A man engaged as a
gardener, who first makes his appearance
asking for work. wins the girls heart. The
man is a musician, refined and cultivated,
| and Notwithstanding the humble work in
which he is engaged it is clearly indicated
that he is a gentleman. His secret is kept
| by the white groom also employed on the
| place, who had formerly been a trooper in
| the cavalry regiment abroad in which the
| supposed gordener was an officer of noble
birth The love of the girl for the man
| is discovered and they resort to a hasty
| flight. The father however, is beside him
| self with grief and shame at the apparent
disgrace of his daughters elopement with
servant. The foreign lover returns also
having been wounded by the girls betrothed
The father finally gives his consent to the
marriage and the curtain falls on the pros
pective happiness of the truly loving pair,
the young man to whom she had previously
been betrothed abandoning his pretensons to
the girls hand. There is vein of comedy
running through the entire performance,
arising out of a New York girls Irritation
and subsequent engagement to a Kentucky
| lawyer. The negro characters will be found
! true to life and unconventional
| In "Tho Broadway Girl which will be at
the Creighton tonight, beginning half
weeks engagement, many new and original
specialties will be introduced by pretty girls
and clever comedians making the farce COM
| edy one Of if not the most, mirth provoking
of it's kind now on the stage. Delmoro and
Wilson have the star parts.
