There is to be a change this afternoon
I'm the cast of "A Stranger in New York"
and the audiences at the last two perform
ances of Hoyt's new comedy will see Miss
Anna Boyd as Hattie instead of Charlotte
Crane. These two actresses exchange COM
panies, Miss Crane joining the Western
company tonight. It was Mr.. Hoyts de-
sire to strengthen the organization now at
the Grand in a musical way, so he has
added Miss Boyd because of her well-known
ability in the line of songs and specialties
For the same reason Charles DUNCAN will
take w. II. Currie's place this afternoon
as Wright limit, and John Dudley will sup
plant Henry Iallam, both of whom join the
Western company at Lafayette tonight
Miss Boyd is known all over the country
as very clever farce-comedy actress, while
Charles DUNCAN and John Dudley were
prominent for years in the comic opera.
world. Their last appearance here was with
Della Fox during her first season in 'The
Little Trooper" in which both had promi-
rent roles. Richard Stahps newest coon Song
entitled "The SWEETEST Cullad Lady of Them
AL" which Miss Boyd has been singing in
the other company, will be heard here for
the first time this afternoon. The first
stanza is as follows:
Have you seen ma honey,
tell you Sle got luOucys
She makes dem udders jealous as can be-
When she starts out a walkln'
She sets all coons a talkin'
She's a dead swell cullud lady, you hear me-
She's very swell in dressin'
And keeps EN- always guessin'
And wonderful what new style she's gwine
to spring.
And every Sunday mornin'
] want to give you warnin'
You find her rugged out in the latest thing,
oh!
"she is dead swell cullud lady,
Her complexion's not too shady,
Her color's reg lar golden brown.
She holds her head the highest
And she really am de fiyest
She's the SWEETEST cullud lady in the town."
The Liliputians will close their engage
ment at English's with the matinee to-day
and the performance tonight. Their new
play is Endorsed by every one who has seen
1t, and the work of the little comedians
themselves is always fascinating.
Sousa's one concert at Tomlinson hall to-
night has aroused all the usual interest that
attends the visits of the band to Indanap-
oils.
George w Monroe will conclude his en-
gagement at the Park with the two per-
formanceS to-day.
The clever little coon" song introduced
by Lizzie Mccoy in the third act of "A

time. 1t received double encore last
night.
Mr.. TKoyt has two other companies on the
