Uniontown, Pa, Jan. 5.--The coroncr's
jury in the Rraznell Mine horror this

James-kjdder,

The exquisite melody with which Men delssohn translated the immortal Shakes peare's "A Midsummer Nights Dream" into music, which is to be given with the drama at the Jefferson Theatre next Thurs James and Kathryn Kidder combina tion promises a treat to all music lovers. With the stage pictures to illustrate it's gran deur it will be doubly delicious. MT Louis James and Miss Kathryn Kidder head the company which will be seen in this, prob- ably the greatest Shakespearean revival in recent years.
 Wagenhals and Kemper, in presenting this play, have achieved a triumph of we'll balanced act in this revival The spectac- ular does not overlay the acting or inter- fere with the action, but is conceived in feeling of beauty and carried out in moder- alton. The background of the play is so poetic that it draws one from ordinary life and begets an illusion that is enchant- ing. But above the poetry, the lovesick dithyrambs and the fairyland is the rich and racy fun of the "Pyramus and This charm of the comedy, that in spite of it's practical withdrawal from the stage for half generation, the text of no play of Shakespeare's is better known. It will be given the same settings here as marked the origianl production in New York and Boston. The organization numbers forty seven people and includes a chorus under the direction of MT. Max De Brosse and a ballet trained by Professor Dare. The ad- vance sale will open tomorrow morning

In the supporting company which comes to the Jefferson Theatre next Friday night with Ward and Volkes in their musical farce review, "The Floor Walkers" will again be found tireless, petite vivacious Lucy Daly. Talented as are every one of this great family of stage favorites in some direction, Lucy Daily is particularly fitted to shine in the dazzling lights of this kind of theatricals. In "The Floor WaiKers'' she will be seen in an entirely new series of 'Dayisms" Perhaps the most strik- ing of all of her this years specialties may be said to be her rendering of a new coon song with cake walk swing entitled 'Mah Butterfly" In it she has the as- sistance of a large chorus of young ladies' the revolutions of this chorus, the fitting training of the calciums, the picturesque costumes, taken with the popular meter of the song, all tend to make the number one of the most distinct features of the per- formance.
