The Electric Spark.

Frank Daniels and Miss Jennie Yea
mans first became known to fame in the
musical absurdity called 1.-The Electric
Spark" which met with such great sue
cess both in this country and Europe
The role played by Mr.. Daniels was such
peculiar one that the piece was sheived
after he left the cast, no successor who
was able to step into lis shoes being
available. There is one now, however,
and "The Electric Spark" is before the
public again more sparkling than ever
before.
That comedian is sagcr M;dgleev, who
is already we'll known to fame in the
vaudeville ranks. In tie splendid COM
pany supporting him on this lis first
annual starring tour, he has the very
able assis ance Of Miss Gertie Carlisle,
who has been his vaudeville partner
This attraction will be seen at the Opera
House on next Monday night. Notwith
standing the briliancy aud expense d
this attraction the usual theatre prices
will prevail for ''The Electric spark" en-
gagement.
