with stirring situations, followed by the
rapid climaxes of the act endings show

ness which Immediately impresses itself
indelibly upon the mind. The story is
one of those simple consistent love
tales which has moved the world from
its beginning. The romance is credited
with having all the swing of an An
thony Hopes prisoner of Zenda;" the
fire of DEmery's 1.-TWO Orphans;" but
unlike either it deals with subject
nearer the heart of the American. It's
Incidents are threaded on a story which
gives ample license to the dramatist to
Introduce the characters made famous
in the infancy of our country during
the memorable struggle for freedom
from the tyranny of the rule of King
George the Third of England. From
a scenic point of view, Messrs. Butler
and Mann have been praised for the
excellent manner in which they have
mounted the play. The cast is also
said to be another point of congra tula-
ton, as it is said to be made up Of most
talented players, especially fitted for the
work in hand. The play is one of the
new type dramas. built on romantic
comedy lines, with the motive and
scenes of distinctly American character.

terest moves it's audiences to live in
the very atmosphere of the time from
which the piece is drawn. A series of
tremendous climaxes are cleverly woven
in to lend an effect of realism to the
act ending. Messrs. Butler ana Mann
are reported as having given to this
play scenic equipment that is un-
usually effective, elaborate and complete
in detail. The costuming is said to be
as elaborate and as perfect as could
possibly be obtained from the plates of

presenting company is one of surpass-

ing comedians, Primrose & Dockstader's
African, Dockstader's kids and GO peo-
pie. large band and orchestra, will APP
pear at Sutton's New Grand Sunday,
January 5. for two nights and Monday |
matinee. Their oddities and jokes are
all new and very mirthful. Where |
there are so many artists it is hard to
individualize, but perhaps it would take
several columns of space to do anything |
like adequate justice to this admirable |
company of disciples of Momus, each |
one being veritable artist in the role |
of funmakers. 1t is needless TO say
more. |
On Sunday, January 5, there will APP

son, "Maloney's Wedding Day." 1t is |
a little different from all other we'd |
dings and is popularized by those two !
extremely funny comedians. Harry !
Frazee and Jimmy McCabe. Mr.. Frazee |
has excited much curiosity among his |
rivals in and out of the profession. He |
is perhaps the most envied man in the |
profession. Nature has been very kind |
to Mr.. Frazee. By many he is consid- |
cred the fashionplate of style in dress. |
