THEATRICAL.

With its distinct air of originality,
presented by a good company, the
king Of the Opium Ring should
meet with the same phenomenal sue
cess here tonight that attended its pres
entation elsewhere. The play, based
as it is on life in the real Chinatown of
the country, and the way one thrill fol-
lows another, is enough to satisfy all
who crave for sensations. There are
so many thrills that it necessitates the
work of no less than four heroes to meet
the emergencies and foil the machina-
tions of the villains, who attempt to
make away with the American girl
through the medium of opium. There
is so much in the play that is slightly
and picturesque, so much that is novel,
amusing and instructive, such rapid
movement, so generous a provision Of
unquestionably strong action, that ono
claiming its merits. An exceptionally
strong cast has been secured, headed by
the California actress, Helen Har-
graves.
Thore is one scene in "Uncle Terry"
the comedy drama recently dramatic
ed from Charles Clark NUNS success
full novel, which is bound to attract
attention on account OF the ingenuity
displayed in its construction. The
prologue, in which not word is spok en-
is referred to. A shipwreck at sea,
preceded by a storm, is decided with a
viyidness which is said to be absolutely
startling The mechanical and electri-
cal effects used in the prologue as well
as the scenery used in the succeeding
acts were arranged especially for this
production and are transported from
Waite is starring in "Uucle Terry"
under the management OF Harry d.
Grahame. The piece is booked for
presentation at the Grand opera house on
Wednesday evening, coming here from
the Nesbitt theatre, Wilkesbarre.
The theme from which the play
Madeline Of Fort Reno" was taken is
from actual scenes and incidents that
occurred in, and about, old Fort Reno.
The story centers around the life of
pretty Madeline Hartman, daughter of
the old settler and Indian fighter, John
Hartman, whose name and bravery has
been recorded in the historical writ
ings OF the old period. The cast of
players selected, for their ability and
correctness of stature to impersonate
the characters assigned them, could uot
be better The production will be Civ
en- here with the same big cast, scenery,
properties and effects that it enjoyed
during its New York engagement.
