gested, and to render the practical results or
combination in past years Of some interest to
great many people.

Broadway Theatre New York.

Francis Wilson and his comic opera
company, in The Little Corporal" Will
return to the Broadway Theatre, New
York. for a limited engagement OF two
weeks, commencing Monday, January 10.
There win be matinees on Saturday only
This favorite little comedian Of Eft
mimic" and .Half a King fame, opened
the present season in September at the
Broadway, and played with tremendous
success for eight weeks. Since then he
has appeared in Boston and Philadelphia
to the largest receipts of his starring
career, and his return to New York VIII
no doubt be hailed with pleasure by the
thousands who regard him as the bright
est comic opera comedian of the times
In his new opera, by Harry B. Smith and
Ludwig Highlander, Wilson has a most
happy vehicle in which to display his
inimitable talents. The opera is founded
on the historical Incident of the Napoleon
campaign into Egypt. His support IN
cludes Lulu CHASER, Maud Lillian Berri,
Airline Crater, Denis O.Sullivan, LOUIS
C~assavant and other actor singers OF
note. The chorus is marked for its beau
ty and strength of voice. The wide diver.
sity in location of the various scenes OF
the opera affords excellent opportunities
for brilliant and varied effects in scenery
and costum;ng. The music is of that light
popular order that haunts the ear pleas
antly long after hearing it.

~TABERNACLERs TRIUMPH
Steps Taken to Secure a
Pastor at Last Nights
Meeting.

Now that the Tabernacle, for the pres
ent. has escaped the awful ordeal of hav-
ing its doors closed, or, worse yet, per-
bic or theatre, the next step for the
victorious downtown congregation of Mr..
Scudder's church is toward the procuring
of a pastor, and last evening a meeting
was called with hat end in view. The
Tabernaelers are enthusiastic in their as
surance of success, even if. as has been
suggested. q split is, necessary, and the
downtown church has to go it alone.
Funds sufficient to run the church
can, with very little trouble, be
raised by subscription, and the
people feel that what they now
want is a good lively preacher who will
fill the old building as it was in the days
of its prosperity. Besides the people are
sure that once they establish a footing
their old friends will come forward as
in the days of yore.
Still, they are going slow. Last night
"a committee was appointed to secure cam
to fill the pulpit as a stated supply. This
committee will also have the handling OF
all monies received, before they are turn
ed over to the general treasury, as We'll
as subscriptions and. other matters OF
business.
Last nights meeting was composed
principally of those most interested in the
Tabernacle. Mr.. Scuddef was not there.
n everything was due IN a most
businesslike manner. this gathering ac-
utes than Thursday evening saw com
pleted in nearly four hours.
