AMONG THE PLAYERS.

BY request of the local managers,
Sarah COwell LeMoyne has been book
cd for a return tour over exactly the
same route where she scored such a.
success in "The Greatest Thing in the
World last Spring. This city Is in-
cludcd in the list, the date being Nom
day, September "a, at the Grand Opera
House. While comparisons are odor-
GUS" as Mrs Malaprop says. one may
be excused for quoting a few lines of
what Alan Dale, the caustic theatrical
reviewer Of the New York Journal
wrote when Sarah CoWell LeMoyneI
made her memorable appearance in the
the Lavedan play in New York: DO
yen mean to tell me that a woman like
Mrs LeMoyne isn't worth starring z?
Surely such an actress would inspirs
any playwright and cause him to make
the dOWager prominent and the young
girl secondary, yet if Mrs LeMoyne
were to look for a play that gave her
the central position-my opinion is,
however, that she would Outshine most
actresses, even if she had but ten lines
to speak-she would find it hard
work"
The very funny farce comedy, "Over
the Fence" opens an engagement to-

ried. Popular prices will be the ruls
during the engagement. Matineas will
be given every day. except Monday.

The coming engagement of Mistakes

TO all theatre-goars who like novelties.

Of the most novel that the stage has
seen in recent years. The leading role
is played by the successful comedy
