"THE PRISONER OF ZENDA. {"

"A beautiful and romantic story of
love and chivalTy is that told in The
Prisoner of Zenda," which will be pre-
sented by Daniel Frohman's special
company at the Opera House next Mon
day night. Being picturesque in seem
cry, characters, action and sentiment,
"The Prisoner of Zenda" fulfills the
best idea of the romantic play as it is
regarded to-day. 1t is not often that a
single play traverses so nearly the
whole gamrIt of tragedy, melo-drama
and comedy, yet all these features are
/ important elements in the construction
of the perfect whole. Daniel FrOhman
has always given splendid casts to his
| dTawing-rOOm plays, OF which he
makes a speciality, but he has done
fully ais we'll in the company that ap-
pears in the courts and scenes during
the age of chivalry and romance. How
ard Gould, who apepars in the double
character Of THE Prisoner of Zenda,
and the man who took his place on tn
throne, has created a most marked i'm
preston, one that will not soon be for
gotten. Miss Fanchon Campbell, come
ly, sweet and strong, as the Princes
. Flavia, is an artist OF ability She wa
a member OF Stuart RObson's compan
for two years. Others in the cast al
