At L.othrop's

''How Hopper was sidetracked' will
be played at Lothrop's all this week,
with julie Walters in the role Of
.Happy" Hopper the windmill agent.
This is said to be the funniest play
Walters has ever produced, and while
its name resembles that of his old
time success '"Side Tracked" the play
is new in every detail and win be pre-
scented at Lothrop's for the first time
in Worcester. The first act of the play
takes place in the Klondike, on Craw-
fish creek, near the Yukon river, and
the succeeding acts happen in New
England. There is broad range for

new extravaganza, has scored a prodig
ious hit in the Boston Museum, where
overlooking houses, have greeted it's
mirth, wit, magnificent stage settings
and Jonn Philip Sousas bright, grace
full and tuneful music with delightful
appreciation. The modern stage has not
witnessed an equal prodigality of pro-
duction, nor a more powerful appeal
to taste for the beautiful. Jerome
Sykes, the greatest of American comic
opera comedians, has most congenial
role as the Twentieth Century genie.
His grotesque and inimitable drollery
makes the fun come fast and furious
in every scene.
Edna Wallace Hopper has scored an
equally positive success as the dash
ing boy-about- Chris Wagstaff,"
a youth in search Of adventure, whose
sharp appetite for pleasure becomes
amply satisfied before the final fall of
the curtain.
Christ and the Wonderful Lamp" will
hold the Boston Museum stage till Sat
urday evening, the 30th inst, when it
will be seen in Boston for the last time
this season. Matinees will occur Wed
nesday and Saturday as usual during
the continuance of the engagement of

which the Rogers brothers appear this

of which are promised by the manage
ment to be as elaborate as any on the
road. The play itself is full of striking
situations and dramatic Incidents
which are brought out to the best adj
vantage by the excellent company
which supports Mr. Walters In this
company, and playing the leading fem
mime role of Priscilla, is Miss Louise
Llewellyn, a soprano of some note, and
an actress of marked ability. others
of the support are Florence Webster,
Maude Sheredon, Willis A. Hall and A.
J. Shapely. Miss Llewellyn is said to be
one of the most attractive actresses on
the road, and her singing of Elizabeth's
prayer from Tanhauser is one of the
features of the show. Her costumes are
striking in their beauty and were made
for her by the most fashionable lady's
tailor III New York. Attractive special
ties are offered throughout the play.

of those heirlooms found in old and
wealthy families. Fringe and all have
been utilized in forming the bodice and
a dainty little zouave jacket to be worn
over the sleeveless waist. Miss Rush
has a penchant for handmade work
and all the embroidery on her clothing,
even to the dantiest seams, is hand
made. It's a costly fad, indeed, but it's
a fad to which all gentlewomen cling if
they have the price to pay for it."
