"RUPERT OF HENTzAU.

RUPERT OF HENTZAU."
The scenic establishment of modern
dramatic productions has been carried
to an extreme that would seem extrava-
CANT were it not that the public has
grown to demand such perfection Of
detail. In the production of Rupert of
Hentzau," which is to be seen in this
city during the present season, this
scenic extravaganza is given striking
illustrations. The closing scene of the
play, in particular, is said to be unique
IN its conception and striking in effect.

PROFESSIONALLY the musical and com
edy event of the theatrical season in this
city, and the society event of our best
class of music loving citizens, will be the
occasion of the visit to this city of the
Augustin DAILY Company in the produc
ton of A Runaway Girl"
Both names are familiar to the reading
public-that Of Augustin DAILY as being
the name of the foremost theatrical
manager of America, and that of GA
Runaway Girl as being the title OF the
most pronounced success that has ever
been achieved by musical comedy
company in London or America. In
London it ran six hundred nights in
New York City three hundred nights,
Some decided intrinsic merit must be
attached to the play to create such sue
cess in two widely different spheres
Such, however, has been its record
wherever produced instantaneous sue
cess.
Originality, catchy music, witty and
humorous dialogue, amusing comedy
pretty faces, handsome costumes, neat
dances and elaborate and picturesque
scenery are each and all entitled to their
respective credit for the result. But
over and above all there was the master
hand that produced and directed the
play-that of Augustin Daily His vast
experience, mis- knowledge of the public
wants. his innate refinement and artistic
sense and appreciation of all that is
beautiful enabled him to perceive that
which is catchy and sparkling without
being vulgar, laughable and humorous
without eng coarse; bright and witty
without being risque. and keen sense
of extravagant comedy without having
shadow of suggestion.
1t was this acute sense of perception
and the possession of that instructive
craving for the artistic that gave him
the ability to produce in "a Runaway
Girl the most delightful: and refined
musical comedy that has been seen for
years. With an organization Of SIXTY
artists, including the clever and versatile
comedian, Mr. Arthur Dunn, one can
confidently look forward to an evening
Of enjoyable recreation and amusement
at the Grand next Saturday evening.
