"Sunset Mines is a play aboundine
in stirring situations and interesting
incidents, and i'm which the men and
women concerned differ essentially
from the hackneyed characters famil-
iar to the patrons Of the popular-priced
houses; men and women who act as
their prototypes might in real life be
seem under similar circumstances. This
play will be produced in the Whining
ton Theatre three nights, commencing
tomorrow. Several melodramatic actors
and actresses are included in the cast
announced, while the scenery depicts
subjects hitherto little exploited on the
stage. The story is one of sunshine
and shadow of real life, and incidents
embodying comedy and stirring trag-
edy, with an intensely original plot and
theme.
The name of Joseph WheelOck IS
synonymous with dramatic fire and
historic genius, for no artist on the
American stage has had a more stead
lily brilliant career. He is to appear in
an entirely new and elaboratery pre-
sented drama by Robert Griffin Morris
entitled Saved By Love-" founded on
T. s. Arthur's celebrated book, "Ten
Nights in a BarroOm," and the part of
Joe Morgan in the play is one that pc
culiarly fits Mr. Wheelock. who will
invest it with his individuality to such
an extent as to thrill the audience as
il has seldom been thrilled He has
made IL the effort of his entire career,
and that means not a little. for
Joseph Wheelock has for years, OF.
from the time of Edwin Booth. enacted
the most important and exacting
roles. With Edwin Booth, E. L. Dav-
enpOrt, Adelaide Nelson, Mrs. ID. p.
Powers, Mary Anderson, S. w. Wal
lack, Jr.. and other famous players. he
has played the opposite and leading
roles. His appearance lifts the produc-
tion to the highest plane. Mr.. Wheel
ock Will be supported by an excellent
company, including George H. Adams,
the former celebrated clown, who will
be the comedian; II. G. Clarke, James
H. Peake and others. AS it is to be done
at the Grand Opera House, Saved BY
Love" ought to prove one Of the most
interesting events of the season. The
engagement is for this evening.
Leavitt and LOderer's production of the
new version by Robert Griffin Morris, of
Lord Byron's famous poem, "Mazeppa.
or the Wild Horse of Tartary" will be
dramatic and musical spectacle of splen-
dor and completeness. The scenery will
be magnificent; the horse, the finest ever
seen on the stage, and the title role will
be played by Mile. Verona Jarbeau, the
heroine and creator of many former sue
cesses. This attraction will be at the
Opera House next Friday night.
The Leavitt & Lederer Co. has made
its new 'Mazeppa, or the Wild Horse
of Tartary," with Mile. Jarbeau in the
title role, a splendid production, which
will be given at the Opera House on
Friday afternoon and night. The Tar
tar camp. village, mountain scenes.
shepherds. pastures, Tartar songs and
dances. and the wonderful combat in
the tent Of the Tartar king, in them
selves suggest as much variety and ex-
citement as are to be found in many
modern plays. A special feature in
this new stage version of Lord Byron's
poem made for the management by
Robert Griffin Morris, will be found in
the folk songs of the Poles and Tartars
and the score of the incidental music.
all of which have been carefully Sc
lected from the old manuscripts Of the
seventeenth century. The music OF
this ''Mazeppa" will be the real thing,
and should prove most interesting to
oonnoisseurs of the divine art.
Rich & Harris are noted for the lib
erality with which they stage their pro-
ductions, but it is said that the grand
est previous efforts Of the well-known
theatrical firm have been eclipsed BY
the magnificent production they have
given TON Moore" the beautiful ro-
mantle Irish play, in which their popu-
lar young star, Andrew Mack, will be-
seen in this city at the Opera House
next Monday night This will be the
first presentation of the play outside
OF the larger cities.
