FAUST TOMORROW NIGHT


Probably the happiest announcement
THAT can be made with reference to the
atrical attractions is the news that Man
ager Frank Collins of the Margaret the
alter has, by indefatigable efforts, sue
ceeded in inducing the Warde, James
and Kidder combination to give Ana
conda one night. The date fixed is
Thursday, March 30. Mr.. Collins, in the
earlier part of the season, arranged an
engagement for this most eminent at
traction, but later it developed that, ow-
ing ito the weeks engagement at Butte,
the manager of the company decided to
cancel his Anaconda engagement. Mr..
Collins, however, remembering the dis
appointment caused in Anaconda by the
failure of the Frank Daniels opera COM
pany to appear here, determined that if
such thing We're within the range of
possibility he would fill vthe James-Kid-
der-Warde engagement After much
correspondence and a deal of negotia-
ton Mr.. Collins has finally succeeded in
inducing the great actors to come here.
Will be the School for Scandal" the
greatest success of the year. In Port
land people We're turned away by the
thousands when this piece was put on
at the Marquam Grand, and it is an
absolute fact that many camped before
the box office window for - hours in
order that they might secure seats The
weeks engagement of the company at
Butte will probably be the most sue
cessfuI engagement the Grand has ever
had. Many Anaconda people have
planned going to Butte for one or two
nights, but now that the combination
is to appear here there will be no ne
cessity for the trip. 1t is a safe predc-
tion that the Margaret will be entirely
inadequate to accommodate the audi
ence on the 30th.
Tomorrow night at the Margaret will
be seen that eminent actor, Lewis Nor
rison, in Faust" In these days of
dramatic sensationalism, when many
blase productions are presented and
more attention is displayed in the con-
summation. Of, melodramatic effects
than TO the intellectual construction of
the play, tits refreshing to herald the
advent of a classic. which, while deal
the 8btrusive elements that offend the
sensitive susceptibilities of the audience
and vet retains the essential material
that sustains the foundation upon which
the structure of the story is based. It
has been demonstrated times without
number that an intellectual dish, daint-
lily served with the necessary accompa-
nying refinement, will always receive
the commentator of the public No bet
ter evidence of the efficacy of such a
statement is required than the mere
mention of "Faust'-a play which Lew S
Morrison originally presented to the
public 10 years ago, and which is to-day
recognized as enc of the dramatic sue
cesses of this age, The presentation this
year is the farewell with that master
actor, Lewis Morrison, in his original
creation of Mephisto. Few actors in our
day have been so closely allied with a
character as he, and the announcement
OF his severance from Mephisto Is re-
corded with regret for there is no ac-
tor living who can shoulder the mantle
thus discarded by the eminent Morrison,
On March "a and g. at the Margaret,
will appear that greatest of all minstrel
organizations, Hi Henry's company
