oTOR VAR VIRGINIA." j."

Among the most deservedly success
ful of American plays must assuredly
be ranked Russ Whytals romantic
drama, ''For Fair Virginia" which will
be seen at the Grand Opera House on
next Tuesday evening, with The author
and his attractive wife, formerly Marie
Knowles. in The star parts. This play
was first brought out more than two
years ago at the Fifth Avenue Theatre,
New York, and was played with bril-
liant results all last season. The New
York World said:
" For Fair Virginia. Russ Whytals

phatic hit Those who went to the Fifth

ADJUSTMENTS.
JOHN DREW fo-NIGHT.

Local theatre goers have alwayr
manifested their appreciation of the ex-
cellence OF John Drews work by their
attendance in large numbers upon his
every appearance. That he has done
much to warrant this is shown in the
fact that he has always brought for
their approval a new production, and
no deviation to this rule will be made
when he appears at The Grand Opera
House this evening, for he is TO bring
out for the first time here his newest,
and, from all accounts, greatest tri-
ump, Rosemary" The role of Sir Jas
per Thorndyke is unlike anything Mr.
Drew has ever essayed. and his great
success in II demonstrates the vida
range CT his histrionic abilities.

BANDA RossA soLoIsTs.

Included i'm the members cf the
Banda Rossa, which appears in this
city next Tuesday at the Grand Opera
House, October 2S, there are at least a
dozen solo performers OF unique excel
lence. The first trumpet, first cornet-a-
piston, first clarionet, first trombone,
ail have won the praises of the Ger
man critics. Special numbers are given
to Signor ColanerO because OF his phe-
nomenal skill upon the bombardinO, a
brass instrument OF the bass bugle
class, the quality of its voice like that
OF the Ophlcide or tuba. THE modest
young man has not the remOtest idea
that he is really Paganini on his
tuba" wrote the critic of Das Kleine
Journal, in Berlin, in 1896. His art
perplexes even the connoisseur and
every instrumentalist. Rapid chromatiC
scales, staccato. broken chords in quick
time, rapid ornamentations, all are rem
dered so lightly correctly and accu-
rately that one is compelled TO admire
the enormous velocity of the tongue and
the astonishing rapidTty of the fingers.
