YON YONSON.

There is much to interest the theater
goer in "Yon Yonson," the Anglo-Swe-
dish comedy which will be given at the
Opera House next Thursday night, Feb
ruary 10Th. To those who are not IA
miliar with the e n in the pine woods
districts of the northwest there is
much to enjoy in the quaint comedy
methods of the Anglo-Swede, as he is
known to that locality. His drollery
pathos, honesty are all used by the au-
thor Of this play to draw a stage pic
ture OF striking originality. The ac-
ton being laid in the pine district, some
interesting scenes incidental to that re-
gion are introduced. Mr.. Ben Hen
bricks, an actor who, by his peculiar
physical makeup and marked dramatic
talents has made a phenomenal success
of the title role of the play, will be seer
in the part here. He will be assisted
by an excellent company, including the
lumbermen's quartette.
