LOVE, ROMANCE AND INTRIGUE.
Strongly Portrayed In Presentation
of Rupert Of Hentzau,

One of the most spirited and pic
turesque of modern romantic dramas
is 'Rupert of Hentzau," Antony
Hopes famous tale of love, hatred and
intrigue, which is to be seen at the
opera house on Thursday night. At
mosphere and action are essentials de-
manded in the modern romantic play,
and Antony Hopes stories appear to
possess both qualities in overfowing
measure. 1t was the novelty and
charm of these characteristics as found
in 1.-The Prisoner of Zenda" that made
it the success it was. This attraction
is presented by very strong COM
panY, and is personally guaranteed by
Jones & Dudley as one of the best to
be seen in Americas this season.
