Florence Bindley and the Donazetti
Quartet heading the bill as a grand
double feature. Miss Bindley win be
remembered as the former vivacious

also ex-legitimates, having formerly
sung in grand opera in Europe. They
are conceded to be the best mixed sing
ing quartet in the vaudevilles and have
created o furore everywhere, To sup
port this grand double feature spe-
cially strong bill has been secured, con-
| tanning among others Miss Anna STAN
nard and Albert Deltwyn, also ex-legit-
imates. Both have appeared in leading
roles with Augustin Days and the
| Frohman companies, Alexander Salvi-
nj, Roland Reed, Clara Morris, Marie
Burroughs and the Boston theater
stock company. Others on the bill are

ENTERTAINMENTS.


q
In fashionable circles certainly, and
as a rule among all earnest play
goers, there is always buzz of excite
ment when a visit from John Drew is
announced. This is more than usually
in evidence just now, for Mr.. Drew is
not only coming to the Hyperion thea
ter Wednesday evening next, but he IS
bringing us the greatest success of his
entire career and what is admitted TO
be the daintiest and most fascinating
play of recent years, the much written
about Rosemary" 1t is from the pens
of Louis N. Parker and Murray Carsen,
and recently completed season of five
months at the Empire theater, New
York.
We are promised a play-and the
reputation of Rosemary" gives color
to the promise-that will disarm the
cynics, convert the blase theater-goer,
delight the judicious, charm the poeti-
cally inclined, give exquisite thrills to
matinee girls, young and old, and bring
genuine pleasure and relief to those
who have been surfeited and wearied
with problem" plays, stage women
with pasts, and other noxious things
that have assaulted true dramatic art in
this end of the century. Not by any
means that Rosemary" is namby-
pamby play. 1t is an exquisite little
love story, admirably told, Astounding
in humor, carefully blending les pathos,
full of character contrasts, and exem-
plifying all the subtleties of what has
been called 'the tragedy of comedy"

Grand Opera House.

1t is with pleasure that Mr. Bunnell
announces the coming of the Wilburs
to the Grand Opera house for one week,
beginning tonight, as he is fully aware
that it means a succession of crowded
houses to him throughout the entire en-
gagement.
There will be matinees on Wednesday
and Saturday only. The matinee prices
will be ten, fifteen and twenty-five
cents.
The Wilburs have made a number of
changes in their repertoire this season,
notable among which is the revival of
some of those old favorite operas which
forty years ago made the blood of our
parents Jingle in their veins when they
were first brought to this country, with
some of the old-time casts. Manager
Wilbur has revived the old operas on a
lavish scale, and everything about the
productions will be historically correct
He will, however, not neglect the IA
vorite comic operas which have become
indissolubly connected with the name of
Wilbur, and the repertoire for the week
will include number Of the best of
these.
The living pictures, which are put on
at the close of every opera are better
this season than ever before. AT vast
expense, Manager Wilbur has added to
his already extensive plant an appara-
tus which will make the views appear
| more realistic and natural than ever,
and which is calculated to produce
some novel and startling effects. A
number of new subjects have been pro-
vided for the pictures, which, together
with the best of the old, make an en-
semble that cannot be equalled on the
American continent. Fully twenty pic
lures will be shown at the close of each
and every performance.
| All the old favorites have been re-
tanned in the cast this season, includ-
| ing E. A. Clark, J. e. Comfy, J. Clar-
ence Harvey, Emmett Drew, Claude
Ameden, Eloise Mortimer, Hattie Rich
4 ardson, Maggie Bolton and q chorus of
| sixty.
The list of operas to be presented
during the week is a most complete one,
| and is as follows:
Monday, 1.-TWO vagabonds"; Tuesday
Mariana" Wednesday matinee
Grand Duchess; Wednesday night
Bohemian Girl; Thursday night
Martha; Friday night Fra Dia-
volo"; Saturday matinee, "Boccaccio''
Saturday night "Olivette"

Five of them were struck by light.

not expect communication with

The waters 10 the flooded districts
OF Carlton, Proctor Knott and Fond
