The engagement here is tonight and
for one night only. Liebler K Co, un-
der whose management it will be seen
here. will give it the same attention
as that which marked "The Chris
tian's" wonderfully long run in Bos-
ton and New York.
Everything suffers by comparison, OF
course. but in Hearts Of the Blue
Ridge" Whitacre Watson has just as
much trouble as Dreyfus had in
France, in fact, in Whitacre's eyes the
Dreyfus affair was a mere incident
compared to which his daily life is
one long tragedy. You see Whitacre is
a gentleman Of color in the employ OF
the Carriers, and he has wife who ac-
cuses him of making love to the
preachers wife. whom she describes in
no mild words as a "liver-colored
wench-" The nagging and henpicking
that he undergOes would make his hair
turn white-if it wasn't so curly-but
he sets even-good and even, and you
60 and see Hearts Of the Blue Ridge"
and you'll see how he does It. Bear in
mind. however. that Whitacre's affairs
are a mere side issue to the play which
IS a beautiful love story of the North
Carolina hills. This company will gi-e
two performances on Saturday, Janu-
airy u, matinee and night.
THE Old Homestead" with Denman
Thompson appearing as Uncle Josh.
Will be presented a the Grand Opera
House Tuesday evening. This presen-
ton will be the same as Mr.. ThOmp-
son gives at the Academy Of Music. in
New York, and will include his own
excellent company, and the famous
double quartet Of singers The or
ganization is under the personal SUI
pervision, insuring the careful atten-
ton to the many details for which this
play has become justly celebrated.
Leo Ditrichsteins dramatization Of
Judge Grants "Unleavened Bread" will
be launched by Liebler & Co. the lat
ter part of the present month, prob
ably the 21st or 2Sth of January 1t
will be put on at the Savoy, following
Miss Henrietta Crossman, whose time
at the Savoy expires on the 21st, but
TO whose urgent desires for longer time
Manager AarOns may concede another
week. An unusual amount OF interest
centers about the dramatization. as it
is known that Judge Grant collabor-
ated with Mr.. Ditrichstein in the work
And like interest clusters about the
cast, which has not yet been public an
nounced, but which. it Is already hint
ed, will contain several surprises. The
cast will certainly be a very strong
one, and the public, it is believed. will
find in the woman selected for the part
of Selma White one who has a proper
conception of her undertaking.
Mrs. LeMoyne has again turned her
face southwark, from which section
has come a demand for opportunities
to see the gifted lady almost unprece-
dented in theatrical management They
had never before seen Mrs. LeMoyne
in a stellar role in the South. and
never was talent more graciously re-
ceived than in the reception there ac-
corded her. The most laudatory ro-
tices that have ever appeared in print
followed her performances, and this
sentiment has not been confined to one
or two cities. but has been uniform,
and especially strong, as stated,
throughout the South. where she seems
to have suddenly sprung into the most
pronounced public favoritism.
James A. Herne and Sag Harbor"
began their first tour of the West this
week. opening Monday night at Tole-
do. Ohio. Two or three weeks will be
occupied with Ohio and Indiana en-
gagements and then Mr.. Herne and his
excellent company will return to the

Philadelphia and other points
