SEATTLE THEATER.

Harry Corsen Clarke, who in
few years established himself
thoroughly in the favor of West
ern theatre-goers as one of the
foremost comedians, has returned
to Butte and he appeared at the
Grand last night before an audi
ence of old friends in his famous
impersonation Of the hymn book
drummer in "What Happened to
Jones'" Few in the audience had
not seen him before as Jones, yet
he created as many and hearty
laughs as when first seen in the
popular role. Mr.. Clarke's sup
porting company is good, notable
in the cast being Florence Weston,
Mary Kart, Ida Banning, Willie
Marks and Scot Seaton. Jones
will be repeated tonight and il
will be the last performance OF the
comedy in Butte, as the present is
Jones' farewell tour. Mr.. Clarke
will next season appear in new
comedy entitled "What Did Temp
kins Do?" which he has already
been booked for at the Grand
He will open in it next August
and the comedian declares that the
role of Tompkins fits him better
than any of the hundreds Of char
acters he has played. It is Mr.
Clarke's policy to produce a new
play each season in the future
Anaconda Standard.
Mr.. Clarke will appear at the
Seattle Theatre April Is, Is and
