play has pleased theater-goers for a
number of years and has many ,e!e-
ments which will no doubt continue it's
popularity for some time to come 1t is
filled with fippant wit, it teens with
clever specialtes, and the incidental
music is decidedly entertaining. The
satire is directed against the militia,
which is deservedly popular at the
present time, but Mr.. Hoyt has dis
covered innumerable points at which he
can poke fun at them, and he does it
in manner to create any amount of
laughter and at the same time give no
offense. The Ransome Guards in all
their panoply of gorgeous uniforms are
shown to us. There are any amount
OF complications resulting from their
attempts to Guido their rivals, "The
Daily Blues" There is more of a plot
than one looks for in farce comedies,
and the fun comes fast from the rise of
the curtain on the first act, and con-

three acts. The stage setting is elabor-
ate and costly, and there is a brightness
and harmony of coloring in the costum-
ing. large company is required to
properly present the play. and it is
said that the management has secured
an exceptionally strong cast.

for laughing purposes only and that it
is an entertainment that will especially
please the ladies, children and their
male escorts. Positively free from any
suggestion of vulgarity.

the company to say that il any per-
son, after witnessing performance of
"a Stranger in New York. is in any
way dissatisfied, they can have their
money refunded at the box office.

Suttons new theater will be formally
opened next Sunday, by which time the
house will be entirely completed. The
opening will be by the Woodward Stock

pany will come direct from Omaha to
fill an engagement of 20 weeks. There
are 16 people in the company, all recog-
nized stock people, headed by William

acters, through which an intensely
strong love interest runs, Comedy is
