MUSIC AND DRAMA.
THE GEM.

It would be hard to find play which
would prove more attractive to the great
majority of theatre goers than ''Lost "a
Hours, . which is the attraction at the
Gem theatre this week. 1t is one of the
most brilliant of the up-to-date farcical
comedies and has won a great success
throughout the country. The absurdi-
ties of the plot, the comical situations
and the bright lines have always won
unquestioned popularity for it in the
past and the presentation of it by some
of the best known stock companies on
this side Of the Atlantic have made it
memorable. Consequently there is an
interesting comparison with the efforts
of the present players which is appreci-
ated at every performance by the admir-
ers of the present organization. The
pretty little Japanese setting in the first
act is so natural in its effectiveness as
to give one the desire Of enjoying its
comfort.
RIVERTON PARK.
Although the weather yesterday after
noon and evening was not of the kind to
create desire for out of door anu sement
nevertheless there were large audiences at
Riverton park who felt we'll repaid for
any trifing discomforts by the pleasure
afforded by the select concerts OF the
Royal Hungarian Court orchestra and
the splendid vaudeville entertainments
given by the COsmopolitans. The manage
ment of RivertOn is prepared to care for
great crowds today and it is likely that
they will not be disappointed. Every
body speaks in the most enthusiastic
terms Of the fine show to be seen there
this week.
THE GIRL LEFT BEHIND ME.
McCullum's S theatre has always been a
popular place of amusement for theatre
goers by reason of the splendid produc-
tions given and "The Girl I Left Behind
Me, the attraction this week will add
not little to the fame of this cozy play
house and the reputation of it's popular
manager ''The Girl / Left Behind Me,
possesses all the qualifications Of con
struction, incident and effective stage
pictures to make a successful play and
the excellence Of the performance gains
for the play and members of the sterling
company the hearty applause OF the audi
ence at every presentation. Manager Nc
Cullum has been lavish in providing for
the scenic embellishments, and the sfour
acts are staged with a realism that recalls
most viyidly the stirring events Of the
Indian uprising and the termination July
4, 1890, which forms the main theme of
the drama.
