The Alcazar.

The successful run of Frederick the Great" at the Alcazar will close tonight and will be remembered as an instructive bit of history, ably presented and embel- lished with scenic and general magnifi- cence Tomorrow night the public will have the first opportunity in eight years to see MT Morrison in his created role of Mephisto in Faust, and Miss Flor ence Roberts for the first time in the character of Marguerite. Eastern critics have been lavish in praising her acting in this part and regard her rendition of it equal, if not superior, to the work ot Ellen Terry in that role. The local sup port which will complete the cast, will be of unusual excellence and the stage mountings elaborate and beautiful. It Is

 Act one tells of a newly married man, whose wife is out of town, receiving a call from a former flame. His wife re- turns a day earlier than he had expected her Che was lost twenty-four hours in sleeping off the effects of a spree), and she comes in just as his old-time girl is kissing him. He introduces her to his wife as his sister.
 In act two complications follow, and the husbands pious brother makes ludicrous scenes by his efforts to avoid being a party to his fast brothers deceptions.
 Exposure threatens in act three, but trouble is averted by a cleverly worked out scheme handled by the husband As already stated, Miss Bouton will be seen in her original creation of the adventur- ess, Miss Dacre, and one of the leading Eastern papers said of her performance: Hers was a well sustained character performance, played throughout with a reserve force which unms takably be- spoke a woman of true genius. She has remarkably expressive features and va rying emotions play over them with fine discrimination" Others in the cast to- morrow night will be Edward M. Bell, Alfred Hickman, Sam Edwards, Louis Payne, David Conger Fanchon Campbell, Lucille La Verne, Maude Winter, Cora Tinnie and Edward G. Conway. The play will be given a careful staging, and from all accounts most interesting production will result.

nominated by the company; that the
company have the right to fix and ar
range all import and export duties: to
