AN AMERICAN GENTLEMAN.

AN AMERICAN GENTLEMAN.
Many good judges who had read the
play "An American Gentleman" which
will be the attraction at the Jefferson
tonight and tomorrow, previous to its
first presentation, declared 1t too far above
the average, and to contain many new
and novel ideas, with some OF the most
beautiful scenery ever gotten mp for
production OF this kind. While the play
Is strictly mslodramatic and very sensa-
tional In the climaxes, the acting COM
many is one beyond criticism. Headed
BY that stering actor, MIR. William
BoneIii, the star part could not be in
better hands. lie will DO remembered
fol- the many clever parts he played while
under the management of Charles Froh-
man, W. A. Brady and Jacob Lift
and by his work last season when ne
played an engagement at the
Jefferson In fla Belle Russo" Miss
Rose Stahl Is the leading lady and will
be remembered for her wonderful work
the past two seasons in stock companies
In the cities OF Rochester, philadelphia,
Cincinnati and Columbus. The balance
of the cast is equal in keeping, and
makes IAN American Gentleman" one
Of the best acted melodramas ever seen.
THE CADET GIRL.
The much discussed musical comedy
1.-THE Cadet Girl" will be seen here on
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings and
Wednesday matinee, next week, az tne

of circumstances afforded In the opportu-
nifty of seeing the cadet Girl" in this
city. 1t Is not q one night stand usual

last six weeks In Boston at the Column
bia theatrs and having already been seen
by number OF visitors to Boston from
this city Manager Chamberlain has

There has been no division OF opinion
among the critics Of New York where

Boston six weeks, about the magnificence
of the pr oduotion.
