Esther Tittell, Grace Hadsell, Hazel Chap
pie, Amy Muller, Sally Cohen and Maude
| Travers. The complications arise from the
| attempts of Mr.. Amos Bloodgood to lead
| his wife to believe that he is a Mason and
| thereby account for the many evenings that

| the lodge. His wife has great admiration
| for the Masonic order, and makes it a con-
! dition of the marriage of her daughter to
| Frank Perry that he should also become a

ter he pretends to join the order. but, like
his father-in-law, 1t is only a ruse, but each

THE SPORTING DUCHESS On Mon
day next Mr.. Bellows will undertake a very
ambitious production OF '"The Sporting
| Duchess" at the Lafayette. The play
| requires very long cast, but the require
| ments in the way of stage effects and seem
| cry form most important detail THE
| Sporting Duchess is a comedy drama deal
| ing with smart society in England 1t
abounds in horsey talk and is full of cpl
grammatic lines. The incidents are built up
about the life of titled English woman
who retrieves her husbands fortunes by
winning the derby with one of the horses Of
her stable. The play contains number of
startling situations, one scene in particu-
larly verging closely upon the sensational.
There will be matinee performances We'd
| nesday and Saturday.
HANLON'S SUPERBA.-Next week
the new version of Hanlons "Superba."
Heretofore the Hanlon Brothers have

that have never been seen here before and
the pantomimes have all been made over.
Among the SpecialtieS are the restless men,

famous actors have appeared in the play.
