This play enjoyed a full seasons stay at
the New York Empire Theatre some time
ago. and the complete New York scenic
investiture will be seen here with Mr.
Skinner and his carefully selected cast
The leading woman Of the company is Miss
Gretchen Lyons, whose youth and excep-
tional beauty were largely considered in
selecting her for the part of Dorothy. At
the same time Miss Lyons has had consid-
cradle experience, and her dramatic Talents
may be said 10 be inherited, as she belongs
10 a theatrical family which dates back
many generations. Her father is Edmund
Lyons, one OF the greatest character -ac-
tors now before the public.
Miss Lyons is only in her twenty-second
year, and therefore her career and
its attendant successes are all the
more notable. She was born in
London. August s, 1877. and made
her first appearance as property
baby" when four months old, p aging her
first speaking part when four years o d in

Sir Augustus Harris. She then played
with Kate Baleman in Leah" and Mary

was in Human Nature at Drury Lane,
with Henry Neville, which was afterward
produced in this country under the
name Of The Soudan" After this
Miss Lyons left the stage until six
teen years OF age, when she re-
appeared in the title role Of -Jaek-in-
the Box" She came to America in June.

d" -"Friends" for one season. In the sum
rner OF 1885 she played in Canada with her
father, appearing in a number of roles.
among them being Cecil Harrington in
The Magistrate" and Polly Eec.es in
Caste"
She then went with Friends" for a Sec
oud tour, played Lucretia Bugg In "Nexi-
CO." afterward Captain Impudence," and
was member OF Mr.. Mansleld's company
during the past season. Her work in this
organization was OF the most exacting ma

shape, the local papers saying that no pref
tier thing than the moonlight scene in the

request of many admirers, they have de-
cided to repeat the performance on next
