Grand Opera House on Wednesday,
February Is. A charming love story
lis interviewer through the play, in
which our Game Keeper" of course
takes the principal role. His enemies
set snares for him. and try to over
throw him. even accusing him OF muir
der, but he outwits them all, and in |
the last act achieves the happiness he ]
so we'll deserves. An interesting fea-
.ture OF She performance is Mr.. Brien's |
songs, which he knows so well how 70
Ising, and which are intorspersed
Through the different acts. The scenery
used in the production is all carried by
the company and the Illuminated
chapel scene in the last act is said to
be one of the most beautiful stage pic
lures ever presented.
Mans Enemy" is a molodrama with
an enviable record. IL has pleased Lon
don audiences and packed the we'll
known Star Theatre, New York city,
time and again. II comes to the Grand
Opera House Tomorrow night. This
play has but one claim to the lndul-
gence OF the people. It is nature-hu-
man nature-and discusses are noble.
This action finds lts origin in the char
acter OF the persons in the play Shakes
peare. Molier, Coldona and writers Of
plays that have occupied the boards for
centuries. strange to say, did the same
thing The people in Mans Enemy
are creatures OF destiny.

years. The story Of the new play hinges
On the murder of an old Now York
banker. The young wife suspected her

The Boston Pest declares that "'Way
Down East is putting the orchestra
under the stage every night at the Ire
mont No one doubts that Way Down
Fart is a strong play. but who would
have credited II with having such NOV
ing qualities?
Senator Frank Bell, the famous
burnt-corlzist, who was SO long "a mem
ber OF the Haverly Company, emphat-
ically denies that "All Bound Round
With n Woolen String" the much-dis-
cussed ditty introduced IN Way
/ Down Eaes, may me traced to
Thomas Tueser or to any ether of the
hizabethan poets who have been cred
tied with IL. In recent interview he
declared that the song first was heard
in minstrelsy shortly after the war
and that he believes It's origin may be
conceded to the late Billy Manning.
