especially noteworthy one for variety
OF reasons. Charles Frohman's Empire
Theatre company has always enjoyed
exceeding popularity in this city, and it's

years is sure to meet with cordial
greeting. Charles Richman, the leading
man, is manly. virile young actor who
has made great impression as the lead

company. The leading woman, Miss
Margaret Anglin, needs no introduction
to the favor Of Lincoln audiences. 1t is
quite safe to say that there are no act
ors in this country whose ability and
charming personality are more highly
esteemed. Her appearance here during
the present engagement is anticipated
with special pleasure, for, as the heroine
of Henry Arthur Jones play, she is said
to have accomplished the best effort of
her brilliant career. There are other
favorites IN the company; Miss Marga.

The company selected by Mr.. West

respects superior. The singing con-

Manuel Roman. the popular little tenor
who created such furors last season;
Clement Stuart, England's greatest
