The rescue of the Cuban girl from
Weyer's clutches-the sight OF Dewey's
fleet in the distance and the ;
and destruction of the
fleet and forts OF Cavite in Remember
the Maine" never fail to raise the audi
ence to their feet in the Widest cheers OF
patriotic enthusiasm. 1t comes to the |
Opera House tonight with all its special
scenery.
At the Opera House, Saturday even
ing. March 8, the rollicking, French and
fantastical, but exceedingly dainty and
humorous comedy "Mlle. Fifii," which
ran 200 consecutive nights at the Man
haitian Theatre, New York, to crowded
audiences, will be seen for the first time
in Wilmington. The most pronounced
and finished artist ever seen on any
stage in this charming play, Mile. NORM,
is one of the most beautiful and charm
ing actresses who has ever visited this |
city. Her voice and figure are wonder |
| fully perfect, and the bewitching express |
sion of her eyes, her natural grace and |
winsome smile is described as magnetic.
| Her methods in depicting character are
natural and study that appeals to the
cultivated mind and the art student.
Daniel Frohman will present one oil
| his latest and most commanding New
York Lvceum successes at the Grand
Opera House on Monday, March IL. The
plav, ga Colonial Girl" had a long run
in New York during the fall OF '9S and
was also produced last season in several
Of the principal cities with great success,
both artistically and pecuniarily. This
is the first production in this city OF the
interesting play. 1t is tale Of old New
York in the Revolutionary times, and
blends love and romance with quite
decided spice of danger, both to the lite
OF the hero and to the reputation of the
heroine, both, however, being at last trE
umphant.
The popularity of vaudeville is on the
increase in Wilmington. The attend
ance at Dockstader's Theatre has grown
steadily for the past few months and the
! need OF larger and more commodlous
house is often felt. The bill this week
! is good one. including such attractions
J as the Bachelors Club, Mr.. and Mrs
Joseph j. Bowling 4 Co., James Rome
G and marguerite Ferguson, the DeGraus,
b the Jacksons, Harry Bulgoyne and
others. Klein and Clifton ana Edwin
c BOYLE are also among them. The fea
!. tnres are Bowling and his company anc
S the Bachelors Club. The latter ha'
G come into such popular favor at thi
G house that it has proved this week ont
J of the greatest drawing cards Manage
e Dockstader has ever offered. The cui
i has simply run out OF encores. for ever.
J performance brings demand for thre
or more. The performances will con
q ftinue afternoons and evenings all tn
e week.
y y The Huntley-Jack Company begin
Il a weeks engagement next Monday nigt
NJ at the Opera House, presenting IN
i. Tornado as the opening bill. But tn
a, cyclone OF the first act does not by an
" means exhaust the sensational wonder
of s.The Tornado" In the second az
there is realistic collision at sea, an
~ all the thrilling incidents of sinkin

he dissecting room sends cold ch.lls up an
.o- down the backs Of the gallery. Thi
u. Mr.. Carter has exhibited very wide il
.ts genuity in inventing these sensation
of and providing the me: us by which the
ce may be produced in a realistic mannt
al must be conceded. He has at lea
a avoided the trivialties OF modern re;
,cr melodrama in the treatment of h
ng realistic features. Base limitations hay
no part in his scheme, but wit
the fine fire OF discoverer looking f
new fields he has broken way fl
IN himself into the very heart OF sensatio
M alism. Whether the result justifies Il
~. effort depends upon the point of vie'
a. The work is decidedly good OF the kin
m and, in the language of Abraham Lii
90 coin, ''for those who like this sort
'ba thing, this is the sort of thing they like
in This after all is the philosophy of Il
