Willie Collier, whose success in eth
err critics entities him to high rank of
the quaint and artistic comedians,
comes to Butte at an early date in Du
SouCset's funniest farce 1.-THE Man
from Mexico a farcical comedy of con-
tinuous and unfailing nlirth. Willie
Collier comes of good theatrical stock,
and has always been on the stage.
When he became of age he was taken
in hand by Augustin DAILY and gave
such evidence of his ability that he
was induced to become star, and in
the principal roles of some of the most
noted productions he achieved much
fame 1t is said that no actor in years
scored such decided success in the
art of delighting his patrons as Mr.. Col
lier in THE Man from Mexico" when
it was originally produced at Hoyt's
theater New York, where it ran for
months.
The production of the war drama, "a
Fair Rebel at Sutton's Family thea
ter this week, was one of the great
est successes chronicled in the history
of the house. The company is strong
one, well balanced and every member

~ interpret the assigned part. Care
full attention has been given to all de-
tails, which makes the production en-
joyable from beginning to end. Be
tween the acts some first-class special
ties are introduced, but even without
these the drama would be a big draw
ing card. The plot of the play deals
with the civil war, and throughout runs
a beautiful love story.
"A Fair Rebel will be presented at
the Union Family theater again this
afternoon and evening.
Dads Girl will be presented at the
Union Family theater the coming week
by the r. E. French Theater company
commencing Monday night and con-
tinuing the entire week. including the
usual Saturday and Sunday matinees.
This will be remembered as the great
American drama, dear to the hearts Ct
all Americans, which was made famous
by Lizzie May Timer, who had the
misfortune to go suddenly blind a num-
Der of years ago after a presentation
of this great play in an Eastern city.
Dads Girl'' will be well cast and
we'll staged, embracing the entire
strength of this excellent company. II
will be another continuous show, as a
number of new specialties will be IN
troduced between each act.
In testimony of his appreciation of the |
tremendous business done by Frank
Daniels and his opera. company since |
leaving Chicago, Manager Kirke La
Shelle banqueted the entire company |
at the Coates house in Kansas City last |
Monday night. Frank Daniels made a |
speech, Acting Manager White sang a
song, and Manager La Shelle sent a |
telegram from New York, raising the |
salaries of the other 4S members of the |
company
When Modjeska was asked if acting
still gives her pleasure, she said: Yes, |
but cannot play one part very long. I |
must have change or l become mechan- |
ical. Once I acted the part of Camille |
in London for three months I do not
believe I ever suffered more. The whole |
thing became a dreary and onerous
task-mere routine. l shall never per
NIT myself to go through such an ex-
perience again."
The war drama seems to be the thing |
at present. One of the latest is "A Pris- |
oner of. Spain.'' which will be produced |
at the Grand on February and g. |!
