THEATRICAL.
Modieska Tonight.

"Mare Antoinette," the play which
Madame Modjes!a will submit to her
many enthusiastic admirers in this city
tonight. can hardly help having a sort
of family resemblance to several other
plays, because the main incidents are
purely historical. and which are in
separabl from the subject.
There wac an Italian play written
on Marie Antoine tie" which was
translatet: and used by Janauschck. In
that play many of the same Incidents
occur, such as the attack of the mob
on the palace at Versailles and again
on the Tulleries, the parting Of An
toinette from the king her separation
from her son and her last hours in the
prison of the Conciergie.
Mr.. Stuart merely claims to have
written new play on an old subject,
and does not pretend to originality
except in the matter of treatment. He
has, however taken advantage of the
histories and memoirs published in
recent years and therefore a new light
viii possibly be thrown on manv OF
the critical events in the life of the
unfortunate queen.
Manager Fisher, who is responsible
for the scenic production. is said 10
have spared no expense in making It
worthy the subject and the fame of his
star.

Strakosch Opera Company.

The Strakosch Opera company makes
its opening appearance at the Lyceum
on Wednesday evening next, February
q. In Verdis great master work, ''Tl
TrOvatore." For the Washington's
birthday matinee it gives grand

lowed by Mascagnie's great one-act
tragic opera, "Cavalleria Rusticana."
For Thursday evening the bill is
Bizets charming opera, Carmen" All
four operas will be presented on a scale
of unusual magnificence.
Edgar Strakosch was for nine years
associated with Maurice Graw, the
manager of the Metropolitan opera
house in New York. He is naturally
well up in all opera productions and
his company is now the finest opera
organization travelling in America. 1t
is, in fact, a double company, includ-
ing double chorus. a complete list of
both grand and comic opera artists.
1t is capable of giving grand opera in
one city and comic opera in another
city at the same time. In some
operas both organizations unite, as in
Carmen" and "Pnafore," while "Cav-
alleria Rusticana" and "Il Trovatore'
require the grand double chorus of
both organizations. These four operas
will be given in Scranton on scale
Srander than ever before presented in
this city. with splendid stage settings
new and beautiful costumes, fine prop,
critics, thrilling electrical effects and all
the accessories necessary for the finest
works. Notwithstanding the great en-
penses attending the enterprise the
prices will be kept within the reach Of
all lovers of music.
