through the Vaccinations of the young

Announcement The Shaw company
finishes it's engagement tonight with a
performance Of "In Mizzoura" The FL
leford company, which succeeds them,
will open tomorrow evening in Thomas
Craven's we'll known melodrama, ''The
"Stowaway." 1t is a thrilling story Of
life in London in both the upper and
lower circles. The scenes are mostly laid
in the slums surrounding the White
chapel district, and relieved by a glimpse
of sea life. In the first act we meet
Dickey Dials, the stowaway, present
ed by w. j. Elleford, and Chuckey, the
London newsboy, impersonated by Jes-
sic Norton. A great deal of the comedy
element is furnished by these clever art
lists. The second act takes place in the
sumptuouS home of Paul Carton. Dur
ing this scene a pair of burglars are in
troduced, who blow open a real safe,
using the same tools required by expert
safe crackers. The third act takes place
in a low lodging house in the White
chapel district, in which occur. the mur-

dience. completely rugged and manned,
on whose deck takes place the strong
est scene of the drama. 1t is here that
Dickey DialS succeeds in getting the
better of the villains and spelling their
plans, which up to this time have been
successful. From a scenic standpoint
this is triumph of modern stage craft
and one Of the best effects ever presented
on the stage of the Burbank. The last
act takes place in the quiet country place
in Kent, where everything ends happily.
The Illeford company promises an ex-
cellent presentation of this entertaining
play. "The Stowaway" will be. given the
entire week, with a Saturday matinee.
