ARE YOr A MASON?

/ the Gennett last evening under the
above name gave universal satisfac-
/ ton. Many who are not often seen
q the theater were there and enjoyed
themselves to the fullest extent. One
man actually laughed himself into
Mysteries and his friends had to send
out for doctor but.it was done SO
quietly that only those right near
nim knew of it until it was all over.
The piece is well put together and
has plenty of opportunities for good
work, which the entire company are
well capable OF doing. The company
IS one of the most capable ever in the
Gennett. It is the same one without
any change, and with the same seen
cry, which packed New York thea
ter for two months at 81 seat. 1t
is to be regretted that they
did not have larger house.
The audience was not nearly so
Urge as it should have been, but was
enthusiastic. The curtain was called
up five times at the close of the sec
ond act. In this connection was
shown result of judicious advertis-
ing which might teach the general
business man something. The night
before we had an unworthy company
IL was an unknown one, presented an
unknown play, and had been roundly
roasted by the indianapolis papers
and verybody knew it; yet by
adroit advertising the business end
of the company overcame all that and
filed their no Use. Brady is the best
advertiser before the public with
shows, and has his interests looked
after by men who know the business.
KATIE EMMETT.
Time and again has it been proven
that in this grand country the most
humble waif has an opportunity to
rise to the most exalted places in the
hearts of the countrymen, and
Merry" Katie Emmett, in the title
role of the "Waifs of New York, .
shows only too.plainly the large heart
to be found so often under the wooden
shirt of a street urchin.
Miss Emmett, supported by an ex-
ceptionally strong company, is billed
at the Gennett Saturday, and prom
ises to be one of the greatest spec
tacular productions to be seen this
season.
A car load of special scenery, fresh
from the brush of the artist; the
Brooklyn bridge scene and Miss En-
mett's perilous leap, the almost
miraculous escape from the burning
building; the moving train-are
scenes long to be remembered. So
closely have the management watched
every detail in the preparation of
this play, that they have attained a
combination of mirth and pathos that
is simply sublime
LEWIS MoRRIsoN's ''FAUsT"
Lewis Morrison's new Faust, :"
famous all over the country, will APP
pear at the Gennett on next Tuesday
October %, with cast and scenery
which surpass those of all previous
productions of Faust. With a new
prologue employing seventeen ex-
luisitely painted scenes, an invisible
choir and a display of electrical effects
centering into one pure white ray
resting on the gates of heaven
thronged by the heavenly host, and
a dozen other novel and startling eff
fects, the production is bound scenic
ally, to be the finest ever staged of
this particular play. The cleverest
scenic artists and electricians of New
York had carte blanche. No expense
was spared and the brilliant display
in the garden scene is surpassed only
by the startling pyrotechnical dis
play on the Broken which in lurid
flame effects is strongly in contrast
to the exquisite beauty of the final
apotheosis OF the hapless Marguerite
The subtlety and bitterness, the ire
mendous defamation and the merci-
less gliding mockery of the insidious
character of Mephisto may De enjoyed
1T the Gennett on next Tuesday.
Special prices 25 35-50c.
