a dull moment all day.
As usual the ball game between
Providence and Worcester drew large

be found in the sporting columns OF

All who witnessed the performances
given By the Wilbur Opera company
at the Providence Opera House the lat
ter part OF last week. were surprised
at the cleverness exhibited by Master
Gabriel In the role 6f Jadues strop. We
had learned TO look upon him as a
clever monoiogue artist; but he could
hardly be expected to play this difficult
comedy role with any great degree OF
success But he did. nevertheless, and
his work would do credit to any comes
dian in the operatic profession today.
Master Gabriel has prepared a new
speciality for this week which he de-
scribes as dandy He is we'll called
a "coiner OF comicafities.'

that fact. together with the popularity
OF the Wilbur company is sufiicient 10
insure big patronage. AS an extra
feature. Richard Harlow has been en-
gagged to play the role of Little But
tercup. MIR. Harlow is nearly, IN not
quite. the highest salaried artist On the
stage today. He became famous IN one
night, that Of the first performance of
"i492' In New York city. Mr. Harlow
was cast as the "Daisy Queen Isabella
of SPAIN" and his work was so goou
that many laughed at the. statement
that the role was played by a man.
His makeup is 40 exact in every ue-
tall that II Is small wonder that people
were skeptical. Mr.. Harlow has played
the role of Little Buttercup with other
organizations scoring distinct tr-
umrh m the part. He carries. am ex-

There will be other Novelties this
