will give all an opportunity to hear
Americas largest and best musical or
ganization. A feature of the attrac-
ton is the beautiful and accomplished
American prima donna, Miss Sybil
Sammis, who will appear at both con-
certs. Miss Sammis is beautiful
western girl, and is the possessor Of a
charming soprano voice, which she
well knows how to use to advantage.
Her voice is wonderfully clear and
sweet, and she has shared with the
band the triumphs and successes of
their past and present tours. Her voice
is highly cultivated, sympathetic and
very flexible with an easy range of
three octaves. She is the prize medal
winning graduate of the American Con-
servatory of Music in Chicago, and
while there was the favored pupil of
Nine. Lime, the bosom friend and CO.
student of Nine. Melba under the great
Marchesi, in Paris, the two graduating
at the same time. Wherever Miss
Sammis has appeared with the band
she has met with the same enthusiast

the band, and is repeatedly called upon
to respond to encore after encore. her

In its treatment of the sensational
melodrama, Always On Time" which
opens at the Grand Opera House for
a short season, during it's production
at Hopkins Theater, Chicago. the Chi
cago Journal has this to say Of the
play: 1T is a clean, wholesome from
tier drama of THE best class. and al
though the scenes are laid in the wild
West, where murders and bloodshed
follow with startling regularity. these
unfortunate occurrences are not pro-
duced before an audience in their
nakedness and bloodcurdling style that
typifies the average border drama. and
the piece was not written for the sole
benefit of the gallery gods, to whom
border dramas are played usually. but
was written to- entertain and instruct
intelligent and thinking audiences. and
IN this the authors were very success
full. The engagement is for three
days, commencing September Both.
Manager Reister, Of the Opera
House, has booked Tim Murphy as the
attraction at that theater next Satur-
day. Mr.. Murphy will produce "Old
Innocence" in which he was seen here
last season. He is one of the cleverest
comedians on the American stage. and

Expectation runs high as the time
draws near for the rendition by the
Young Ladies' Society Of the Cathe-
dral, of the one-act farce, Murder
Will Out" at the Carroll Club, next
Tuesday evening, which, it is pro-
missed, will keep all in good humor if
they are appreciative of mirth-provok-
ing productions. This will be follow
ed by that beautiful poem Of Tenny-
son, "A Dream of Fair Women" 1t
will be put on with living illustrations.
To those who are familiar with this
historic poem, this presentation will be
long remembered as beautiful and his
torically accurate. Rehearsals have
promptly followed each other in order
that the high standard striven for by
the instructor may be attained. Calci-
UNI light apparatus, with colored
slides has been brought from Pittsburg
and when these are thrown upon the
stage, the effect will most certainly be
enchanting. The costumes, all new,
cannot help but prove revelation to
the eye trained to the realization of
brilliant effects, and taken in connec-
ton with the confidence of the young
ladies, it would seem to be not out of
place to predict that the average critic
of home talent productions will have
little chance to apply his or her voca-
ton i'll other than complimentary
terms. 1t may also be stated that
the stage of the auditorium, with the
numerous splendid scenes and set
pieces, will help materially the success
Of both productions. Many express
sions of admiration have been heard as
to the two groups of the principals in
these presentations which Giffin has
transferred to card board, and which
have been displayed in the show win
dows of the prominent business
houses. Reserved seats will go. on sale

THEATRICAL ADJUSTMENTS.

We are informed by her husband
that Virginia Drecher's maiady is CIV
ing the physicians much anxiety.
There was an element of romance in
Virginia Drecher's marriage that Is not
often associated with a comedy theat-
tire. During the first visit of the Daily
company to London, Frederick Postle-
thwaite, young English stock broker,
fell in love with "the beautiful Ameri-
can as she was termed in the En-
glish papers. He knew nobody who
knew the Days, but not wholly dis
couraged by this disaster he promptly
followed the company on it's return to
America, and before long he was start
ed in business prosperously in Wall
street. Meanwhile he haunted Days,
still without luck, but never without
hope. One Sunday night he went to a
dinner party, and, oh Joy. oh, joy,
found himself seated beside his divini-
ty. By and by he told the story OF his
love, to which she lent such an atten-
tive ear that in due time they were
married, and 1t was one Of the happiest
matches ever made by an actress
