A husband and a wife on separate
trips to dives were caught at their mis-
chief, the husband being arrested, the
wife narrowly escaping official cap
ture On the following morning the
farce opens, the husband in the Gus
tody of an officer, and unaware of his
experience the night before. A blum
dering friend tries to save him from
his sentence, while his family believe
him on a trip to Mexico. His wife and
some friends visit the prison as a COM
mittee from the flower mission, and the
warden, a foppish politician, falls in
love with her, and in the presence of
her husband, who has been sentenced
under an assumed name, is attentive to
a most eXasperating degree. The last
act is in their home, on his return from
serving his sentence, or as his family
supposes. his return from Mexico.
In the presentation of THE Man from
Mexico in this city, Mr.. Collier will
have the support of a company, the
members of which have been selected

with the same company that originally
appeared on the first production in
New York City. The organization is
composed in part of such we'll known

Faust, Raymond Gilbert and Miss Mar
tina Beauford, and the balance of the
company is made up of members who
have been specially engaged for the
characters assigned them. The COM

cry, and the patrons of the Grand may
expect to witness an entertainment
which, in other towns, appears only in
the higher priced houses. AS a special
feature Mr. Benedict has engaged the

and third acts in her famous fire
and stereopticon dances at every per-
