opera house will open Sunday, June 8,
with the Criterion Stock company In
''Aristocracy." This company is being
organized by Mr.. Sylvester Mcguire, a
gentleman of great experience in theat-
rical business. The members have been
carefully selected, and 1t is believed that
this organization will surpaSS anything
of the kind ever seen in this city. The
company will be headed by Robert
Drouet, a ST.. Paul favorite, who was
first seen here with the Giffen-Neil COM
pany, and whose last appearance was as
leading man with Viola Allen in The
Christian Mr.. Drouet comes direct
from his Chicago engagement with Mary
Mannering, in whose production of Jan
ice Meredith he has scored a success
equal to that of the star herself.
The leading lady of the Criterion Stock
company is Miss May Buckley, who, in
the last few years, has won "a place In
the very front rank Of the younger Amer
lean. actresses. Miss Buckley created
the leading roles in such productions as
