The Flint Company, Americas IA
nous hypnotist, who win appear at
the Grand Opera House for three
nights only, commencing Monday
next, have added very funny scene
to their already large programme.
During the Professors visit to the
Worlds Fair, he, like all the rest of
sight-seers. took a stroll down the
Midway and saw the Midway Dancers.
The thought struck the doctor that the
scene would make bowling hit if put
on under hypnotistic suggestion, so
While appearing in one Of the western
cities he tried it, and to-day it is one
or the many scenes he calls exceed
ingly funny. To see a man hypnotized
and turned into Little Egypt, seems
strange but never the less true.

The farce-comedy hit of the present
season has undoubtedly been made bv
James NJ Martin. his latest effort
The Late Mr.. Early" having received
the most unanimous praise possible to
accord new production. Mr.. Martin
heretofore well known as a dramatic
writer or force, one of his earliest sue
eesSes being The Harvest Moon," in
which Nine. Jaunscheck starred for
several seasons, has not appeared as a
writer of farce before, but if his initial
production in this line is to be taken
as guide for future achievements.
the farce-comedy field has certainly
received great acquisition. Mr.. Mar
tins farce is being presented by SharD
and Flatt. who have for the mast
three seasons been features with Hop
kins' Transatlantic Company. These
clever performers ale surrounded by
an exceptionally strong farce-comedy
cast, including the Misses Rose
Sutherland, Mabel Hite, Apollo, the
Adonis of the Wire; George Gale, Ann
Seattle. Dick Brown, and a number OF
other well known farce-comedy per-
formers.
This organization, which is to be
seen in but very few of the smaller
cities this season, has been secured by
Manager Reister as the attraction at
the Opera House next Wednesday.
The theatrical going public will ex-
pect much of those real funny boys,
Mathews and Bulger, when they come
to the Opera House on next Tuesday.
February 7th, with their rag time
opera, by the Sad Sea Waves" as
they have educated their admirers to
a very high standard in the way OF
laughable stage offerings. Their new
pSf apdaaynr is dpcpvihad n on,,ad,r
opera. put together with rag time ac-
complshments, and no matter what
this may be, that 1t will be the very
limit" in novelty no one will ques-
ton who knows the resources of this
funny firm and their wonderful in
ventive genius. That they are funny
enough to make a horse laugh will be
readily admitted and 19at the curios-
ity they will arouse with their new
novelty goes without question. Staged
in a most luxurious manner and with
a support of Incompatible artists, the
better known being Nellie Hawthorne,
a famous English beauty; Josie De-
Witt, a violin virtuoso of national
repute, also TriXie Wade Lizzie San
ger, Marie Twhoey, Delete Walker,
Bessie Challenger Julia Ralph, May

ert Vernon, New Wayborn, w: II.
Macart. Gilbert Gregory. Gus Morti-
mer, George Tabor and A. H. Bell, to-
gether with a dashing chorus OF six
teen voices. Messrs. Dunno and Ryley
have certainly organized one OF the
most prominent companies ever con-
structed for farcical production.
"The Missouri Girl closed very
successful engagement at the Grand

and a final performance last night.

sons most successful plays with its
huge scenic and mechanical effects,

Opera House Thursday, Friday and
Saturday, February 9th, 10th and 18th.
1t contains some remarkable scenes,
notably the much talked OF hurricane
scenes showing the beautiful coral
reef harbor at Apia before the storm

storm as seen from the consul's house
late in the afternoon, a view OF the
shore at night during the storm. and
the magnificent struggle OF the Tren-
ton against wind and wave. Another
scene scarcely less worthy OF mention
is the perfect reproduction OF ferry
boat trip from Jersey City to New
York Other scenes show the capital
at Washington, illuminated, aud sew
eral familiar Washington localities
The interpreting company is a good
one.
