A performance of that fine old play,
THE Old Homestead" would hardly be
considered complete by its admirers,
without the double quartet of farm
hands who make up with their voices
for any lack of practical skill in agri-
culture, The men with the hoe' are
this season said to be the finest ar
rangement of voices that Mr.. Thomp-
son has ever got together and they will
be heard in some new and effective
numbers at the Worcester Theatre to-
morrow and Saturday.
The great new singing and acting or
ganization of 100 people known as Frank
L. Perleys singing comedians, now pre-
senting the latest tuneful hit, THE
Chaperon," promises an entertainment
Iof fun, melody and dances at the Wor-
Icester Theatre next Monday night The
tour of this organization of vocal and
comedy talent is under the personal di-
rection of Manager Perley, who has
set out to eclipse his past record with
the Bostonians and the Nielsen Opera
Company. THE Chaperon' is Mr.. Per-
ley's pride, and he has provided the
operate comedy with an elaborate pro-
duction in the way of expensive seem
cry and carries an orchestra through
out the tour prior to the coming en-
gagement of THE Chaperon" in New
York.
The management of the Worcester
Theatre has arranged for a return en-
gagement of Giannini's Royal Marine
Band of Italy, to be given next Tues
day evening. The proceeds of this con-
cert will be devoted to the Mckinley
Memorial Fund and placed in the hands
of the mayor or some other we'll known
citizen to be used If Worcester is called
upon to make a contribution to the
fund. If not, the money will be sent to
the central committee.
The Royal Marine Band made an en-
phatic hit at its concert here week be-
fore last and in spite of a small audi
ence, was greeted with much enthusi-
asm. The organization has been max
ing a most successful tour this fall and
at the Boston Food Fair and later at
the Columbia Theatre, Boston, was a
most attractive feature.
"Evangeline" rewritten and revised,
is booked for one night at the Worces-
ter Theatre next Wednesday, Manager
Rice of the organization has had for
his ambition a final production Of
'Evangeline" that would surpass all
others and to judge from reports that
came from Boston, he has had it graft
fed.
Manager Wilton is giving his patrons
treat this week at Lothrops Opera
House, where those Worcester favorites
