The Nancy Hanks" is a crisp, clear
cut comedy by Frank Tannehill, jr. 1t
is farcical in its tendencies and is said
to be exceedingly funny. The story of
the play involves the fortunes for one
day of the Marquis de la Rochelle, who
has sunk his fortune in the Nancy
Hanks gold mine, and Richard Cham
dos. an ~impecunious actor, who is
forced to teach acting for a livelihood.
This occupation surrounds him with a
number of stage-struck persons, Pearl
Dodo. a vaudeville actress, a gay old
stock broker and a baby found on a
doorstep n adopted by the marquis.
When these characters have been farci-
cally entangled the hero's wealthy aunt
Hetty, and his pretty country cousin
iona. arrive. They find the marquis
masquerading in one of Pearl Dodo's
costumes-the scene being her apart
ments-and take him for n woman. The
marquis finds IL necessary to say he is

One of the most delightful dramatic
events of the season i'm Anaconda will
be the appearance of the celebrated
Marie Jansen Tuesday night in the
much-praised comedy, "Delmonico's at
Six" Marie Jansen's fame has preced-
ed her several years in the West, and
there Is an unwonted interest demon
strated in her forthcoming engagement.
She is one of the most magnetic and
attractive members of her profession.
Her brilliancy as an artist and her ver-
satility are demonstrated In the fact
that she has achieved an immense rep
utation both in comic opera and come
dy. Her voice is said to be as sweet
and strong as ever, and she is furnished
with new and catchy songs in both her
comedies that have caught the public
fancy. ......
Katie Putnam will be seen in "A
Texas Steer" Wednesday. She is I'M
der special engagement. This actress is
very popular with Montana theater-

Hoyt's "A Texas Steer has a plot, and
an interesting n it it. 1t is full of in
cidents presenting the ludicrous sid of
human nature, and has met with re-
markable success everywhere. Katie
Putnam has been specially engaged for
the part of Bossy. She amuses the

them all to laughter and tears by her
humor and pathOs. She makes her
points in a simple amer. She does
