This play has always been favorite
witch every emotional actress; at the
same time it is popular with a great ma
jority of our theatre goers. She is a
woman that viii always arouse the SYM
pathies of the audience. We certainly
could not expect to have this role cast in
better hands5than~ that Of Florence Rock
well. She is young, fair of face, comedy
of figure and blessed with a firm voice,
and we expect to see the part played
perfectly. The Boston and Providence
papers speak in the highest terms of
her portrayal of the part. The other roles
could not be in better hands than that
of Mr.. Gilmour ana his excellent COM
pany. 1t was by repeated and earnest en-
treaties from many patrons of the Gem
that Mr.. GilmOur consented to play
Camille as "Ours" was booked to
run the entire week, but as all of the
company had played it in Boston and
Providence, it could be put on without
any rebearsing and every one has their
lines at their tongues end. This will
make two great plays in one week at the
Gem. ours Will be given for the
last time this afternoon; Camille the
rest of the week. and then as though
Manager Cooling was not satisfied with
giving double what he promised in the
beginning OF the season, he has sue
ceeded in prevailing upon several man
ayers to allow their people to remain
here one week longer, and thesTremont

that cannot help drawing packed houses
to the end of the season.
1t would be we'll to secure seats as
early as possible Tor the rest of the sea-

RIVERTON PARK.
Tt would be difficult to find a more
beautiful or pleasing novelty IN vaude-
Vile than the one offered at Riverton
park this week in the speciality kof Rosa
Naynon and her troupe OF ''feathered &C
tors" There is only one other act like
this on the stage but there can be no com
parison as to the relative merits for Miss
Naynon introduces In her act more than
twice as many birds and stage appoint
ment and amount OF specially construct
ed properties such as no other act OF the
kind ever conceived. This great act is
original with Mr.. Clyde Philips who as
sists Miss Naynon and these two people
were three years training these birds.
This engagement is the first time they
ever played at an open air theatre and
now that they have become accustomed
to the surroundings they give marvel
lous perforrnance. Several other good
vaudeville artists offer pleasing specialties
and give programme of one hour and
half.
M'CULLUM'S THEATRE.
I Few theatre goers realize what an I'M
portant part the audience, of whom they
are fraction, play in the production OF
a drama. Everyone has noticed how
much better a play seems to be when the
theatre is nled than when there is q
small house. When the udience Is large
it is more generally responsive than wher
it is small and the actors on the stage
become inbued with an enthusiasm tn al

EMPERoR's ADDRESS
Made at the Unwilling of n statue 10
Frederick William.

Bielefeld, Prussia, August eat the unveil-
ing of the statue of the Great rlector today,
Emperor William delivered a notable speech,
dwelling upon the dark days OF the thirty
year war and the 'imperishable services"
rendered by Frederick William in building
up the country in the hope Of establishing a
great northern empire which one day should
draw together the German fatherland
This wonderful result" said the emperor,
has finally been fulfilled and chiefly because
every Hohenzollern prince has been animated
by the consciousness that ne was not only an
earthly governor, but had to render an ac-
count to a higher king.
ITO me it is perhaps. granted to fulfill a
part of the great Electors dream, What we
could only point to. we are now able to take
upon a larger scale because we are united In
the fatherland aad marching forth in an
army consisting OF the sons of every hamlet
in Germany to support the black, white aud
red flag. which shows that the arm OF the
kaiser reaches to the remotest parts of the
world. Without the Great Elector this would
have been impossible. II everyone takes the
same view OF the task of the Elector, then /
am convinced that great times are still in
store for our great fatherland.'
