AT THE THEATERs.

Charles e. Blaney's new play, "A Female
drummer VIII put in an appearance at the
Grand opera house week beginning next
Sunday night. Miss tombstone Bennett is IN
the leading role. She is ably assisted by such
well known comedians as George Richards,
Engene Garfield, Willis P. Sweatnam, Tony
Williams and Miss Nellie O'NeilI also a
number of other prominent people. The COM
pany is large one, numbering thirty five
people.
While the Indictment weather has had its
effect upon the theatrical business in general
the Woodward Stock company at the Metro
politan has been enjoying excellent houses.
The reason is plain to those who have at
tended. Give the public good play in the
vile features of acknowledged merit, making
virtually continuous performance is in
itself enough to warrant patronage, but give
the same entertainment at lower prices of adj
mission than the public heretofore has paid
for either one or the other the Only COM
ment that can be made is: How can they
do it, at the prices of admission?
. A large and appreciative audience at the
Grand last evening again strongly evidenced
the fact that st. Paul theater goers are par
tial to comedy and especially so when the
comedy is of the cean-cut variety and is
interpreted by competent actors. "A Con-
tented Woman" prepresents deal OF Charles
H. Hoyt's cleverest wit and humor, and as
satire, Ii is almost without a peer. Today
at 2:30 the first popular priced matinee of
the engagement will occur, and tomorrow
afternoon will be given the special Thanks
giving matinee.
