"Clcopatra" Tonight.
The attraction at Sweeney & CoomhsN
theater last night bore the name OF Ca
sey's Troubles and consisted OF two
act farce and vaudeville bill. The farce
was interpreted by six people. one OF
whom doubled. and two of whom-Alfred
Kelley and Lille La Rose--began the pro-.
gramme OF specialties with musical
turn which was bad. The cineomatosraph
pictures shown were probably the best
over seen on local stage. the represents
tlon of trip across Brooklyn bridge, the
Dewey parade and the mystical series
being especially pleasing. The setting OF
the third act In which Madison square was
represented. was very pleasing one. The
concluding feature was furnished by Gray's
Marionsttes, which were seen at the Audi
torium last summer. The show as whole
will probably prove success In the small
err towns, but it's management would do
we'll to keep It out OF the cities,
The next engagement at sweeney y
Coombs' is that OF the Walsh Macpoweii
company, which will open tonight In sar-
dou's CLEOPATRA This organization is
probably the strongest OF its kind en- tour
and the theater- goers OF the city who ad-
mire true dramatic art should take advan-
tage of the opportunity taus afforded to
see a powerful production. Sardou's ver-
sion OF the piece named Is quite different
from another which was seen here several
seasons ago, and the production given y
by Miss Walsh, Mr.. Mcdowell and their
] talented players Is said to be most stump
Z tuous and complete as we'll as thoroughly

/ be the bill for Thursday night. On ae'
count Of the length Of the performance:
caused by the thorough manner In which
4 the two pieces are put on, the curtain vii
