from time to time until now they are
all in such perfect shape that there is
no room for Improvement.
The most prominent scenes are the
sensational steamboat explosion; the
wreck of the st. Louis; the fight of the
fast mail gathering the United states
mail on its way, and other equally fas-
cinating pictures. The most wonderful
practical freight engine on the stage
today, which comes shrieking, whist
ling and putting up the grade, dragging
in its course across the stage IA full
size freight cars, and last, but greater
by far than any attempt yet made, the
most realistic representation of Maya

on any stage. The company present
ing "The Fast Mail' is easily the best
yet seen in the play.

Those who have seen 1.-THE Fast
Mail" once, and those who have not,
will be given chance to witness this
ever popular railroad melodrama at Lo-
throp's Opera House this week AS the
play has not been presented here for
some time, and as it probably never
will be again. it having already been
out for 10 consecutive seasons, playgo-
ers will do well to take advantage of
the opportunity now offered.
1t IS ever popular and delights all who
witness it, as it abounds in sentiment,
comedy, scenic effects and specialties.
The story is bright and clean and ap-
peals to all alike. The action of the
play takes one from Memphis to a
small station on the C. & A. Railroad,
thence to Chicago and later to Niagara
Falls, thus giving every opportunity
for an elaborate scenic display. The
effects since the piece was last pre-
scented here have been improved upon

But One DoubIe-Track Line

The Lake Shore is the only double
track line between Buffalo and Chi
cago. It is the most interesting route
between the East and West, travers-
ms, the richest and finest portion of
the Middle States; also it is the most
comfortable by reason Of its excellent
road bed and freedom from curves. In
the opinion of those experienced in
travel it has no superior in perfectness
of road bed, punctuality and elegance
of service, and the comfort and care
of its patrons.

HOME, SWEET HOME"

I1OAE, . w EIEL I1OMbs
OF Home, Sweet Home" a Provi-
dence paper said last Tuesday:
"A story of life in a little village in
New York State, Home, Sweet
Home the Thanksgiving week at
traction at the New Empire, is an in
teresting and at times thrilling story,
1t contains the characters familiar in
a village in this section Of the country,
not too near the great centres Of popu-
.lation, and NOSE of them are exceed
ingly well done by the players.
THE story is another grouping Of
material more or less familiar-all
fiction is simply a presentation of
changes in the kaleidoscope of life
but the play has an abundance of good
humor, plenty of action and some eff
fective climaxes. Some of the charac-
tiers may have the effect of caricatures,
but their prototypes may be found in
many an out-of-the-way village, and
they serve well their purpose. The
play has met with great success in
this its first season, and was received
with an enthusiastic reception from
large audience at the New Empire last
night. 1t is well staged.
1.-THE story of Home, Sweet Home, !"
one of a wronged man sent to prison
by the village miser; of the efforts of
the village lawyer, a quaint and Iowa
bic old character to obtain justice for
him; of his own efforts to bring about
retribution, and of their consequences;
and, finally, of the results of his acts
on his own life and on the lives Of
others in the village.
1.-THE story is worked out in front of
the village store; at a church lawn
party at which the quaint characters
appear in their best bib and tucker,
with some weird and wonderful re-
suits; at the railroad station where an
express train is stopped by one of the
characters just in time to save it, and
at the cottage of the heroine and hero.
There are three distinct love stories,
and the piece does not, therefore lack
the love interest so necessary to the
success of the drama of home"
Harry Brown the well-known
character actor, who was with the
Bostonians last season has been en-
gagged for one of the leading roles. 1t
is a drama of homely pathos, the
action of the piece takes place in a
small village. in the interior of New
York State and presents new phases
of farm life.

Two Of the most prominent theatre
managers in London are in competi-
ton for the British rights to Kirke
La Shelle's latest production, THE
Bonnie Brier Bush" and it is more
than probable that a deal will be
closed before the holidays whereby this
strikingly successful play will be con-
tracted for the English metropolis
Mrs Fiske provided the weeks nov
city in "The Unwelcome Mrs. Hatch"
at the Manhattan, New York, last
Monday. The critics disagree regard
ing the result, some of them waxing
enthusiastic and some others taking
the opposite view. 1t will probably be
a sufficient attraction, however, to fill
out Mrs. Fiske's New York season,
which terminates In January. Mrs.
Fiske has q very great following in
New York, and any bill she may offer
is sure of large business for a couple
of months.
Kirke La Shelle expects to break
ground for his new Colonial Theatre,
New York, soon after the holidays.
This theatre would have been in COM
mission at the present time but for
caprice of a woman who had sold to
La Shelle one of the five pieces of
ground WHICH, COnDlneus IldhG HIS
theatre plot. This woman, finding that
the price she had asked and been Civ
en- was less than that paid another
woman a few doors away, refused to
deliver title as per contract, and La
Shelle had to bring suit to compel her
to do so. This suit is about to come
to trial, and La Shelle is so confident
of it's outcome that he has made con-
tracts with builders for the erection
of his theatre.

hit in De Koven & Smiths Maid Ma

George Rogers. the critic :of music for
the Philadelphia Inquirer, a writer OF
% years experience, has written Reg
inald De Koven a letter in reference to
Maid Marian" in which he says:
In my judgment it is easily the best
thing you have done and the best thing
any American composer has done in
this class Of composition. 1t is fresh,
bright, spontaneous and vital; full of
melodic Invention and harmonic skill,
thoroughly artistic and musicianly.
The song for Barnabee, with chorus in
the first act, the snake-charmer'
song, the love duo and the concerted
music in the last act, are worthy of
Sullivan at his best, and the whole
thing, unsteady, is most interesting
and admirable. Pray accept my con-
gratulations. They are alike disinter-
ested and sincere"
