know as the most capable and conservative

Gently paid the following high tribute to
Miss st, George Huesey. who is this season
starring in the three-act comedy Mrs.
B. o'Shaughnessey (Washlady):"
Miss ST. George Hussey is we'll remem-
bered here with Hoyt's other productions
for her Irish character work. She has a
voice as clear and penetrating as a cornet
and a brogue as rich as cream. Her spe-
cialty kept the house in such an uproar
that it was with difficulty she left the
stage"
Words Of praise from such high authority
bear great weight, and that Miss Hussey
is deserving OF everything good that can o.
said OF her Is recognized by her legion of
admirers throughout the United States.
TIL comedy which she brings 10 Boyd's
theater for a weeks run commencing with a
matinee performance this afternoon, is
written by Miss Edith Ellis Baker and, It is
said, tells in an interesting and highly
amusing manner the trials and troubles OF
a worthy Irish washlady, with three daugh-
tiers, earning a living by hard, honest work
and who suddenly comes into possession OF
100000 by the death of a relative. She loses
this fortune, RECEIVERS 1t through the efforts
OF one OF her daughters, and all ends as 1t
should in every we'll regulated play. The
change in Mrs. O'Shaughnessey's fortunes,
IL is said, present many ludicrous situations
and with the numerous songs and special
ties introduced through the performance, a
lively, up-to-date comedy is promised. or

Irish washlady the following is said in a
Utica IN. " paper: "There is only one
Mrs. O'Shaughnessey and that is Miss St.
George Hussey, who was In the cast last
night. II is hard TO conceive OF the part be-
ing played artistically, yet Miss Hussey's
performance is as genuinely an artistic piece
OF work as has been seen in Utica for a long
time, She was Enthusiastically encored
time and time again, and her mock Trades
at the audience were irresistitly funny"
II has been more than FIVE years since
Omaha theater-goers have had, an oppor-
tunity Of listening to Balfe's immortal lyric
opera, The Bohemian Girl" and for this
reason the announcement that the Trocadera
Opera company will offer It for its bill dur

Torrance is "A welcome one. The we'll known
and deseryedly popular opera is one Of the
oldest in the modern repertoire, having frs,
been produced more than half a century ago
II has stood the test OF time remarkably
we'll and with its increasing age loses little,
II any, OF its popularity. Its music is bril-
liant and original and there are few, IL any,
songs that ever attained greater popularity
than ~ Dream: / Dwell in Marble Halls, A"
The Heart Bowed Down" or Then You'll
Remember Me-" which are the leading solos
In the opera. They are TO be found in nearly
every popular song folio published and there
are few, II any, people that can carry a
tune at all that are not familiar and able
to hum or sing one OF these songs. The
production TO be given By the Trocadero
management promises TO be a brilliant one.
New scenery has been painted, while Theo-
dore Le!ben has designed and manufactured
new costumes especially for this piece, which
are said TO be beautiful.
