 tical except for one thing; the elopemenr of Lord Cowles and Janice does not take place in the play.
 The scenery, costumes and properties of the original production were bought entire from Frank Mckee for MT Bo- neli and Miss Stahl, and the play will be seen here with the same investure that caused so much comment in New York. This is particularly true of the battle tableau at the end of the second act, the third act climax, based upon the incident of the troops crossing the Delaware; and the third act ''set" show ing the ruins of a church that has stood an artillery attack.
 Mir Bonelli will play Charles Fownes, who appears n the first act as bond man of the father of Janice, and later as an aide and spy on the staff of George Washington. Miss Rose Stahl will be Janice. It is said that Miss Stahl Is probably better equipped to play the in- genious heroine of the famous play than most actresses, and 1t is claimed that she possesses the physical beauty as well as the sauciness, characteristic of the girl with whom everyone was in love. This is MT. Bonellis fourth season as a star, he having risen to a stellar position in a play of his own writing which is still en tour. Physically he is perhaps the strongest actor on the stage, and is fitted to play the interpid spy and fear less worker in the cause of the colonists.
 The play is In four acts, and the num- Der of speaking parts is so great that an exceptionally large company is re- quired.

has no sense of humor that his country is the land of the fearful and malvolest pun, that a map should go with every joke when told to one of King Edwards subjects but it must be admitted that Englishmen can and do write and com pose the best musical comedies. Under the head of the very best of these musk cal plays will undoubtedly be placed san Toy" the work of five of these writers, Edward Morton, Sidney Jones, Harry Greenbacnk and Adrian Ross. The old adage that ito many cooks spoil the broth" has not come true in this case, as san Toy' is conceded to be as nearly a perfect suecimen of the musical come dy as has yet been offered to the public. san Toy ran for months in London, eclipsing the runs of all the other plays of it's class, leaving even the much vaunt- ed "Florodora" away behind in the race for popular favor.
 It was first presented in New York at Daly's theatre, by the Austin Daily Come dy company which organization is still playng it and which will be seen here; in fact there has never been any number two or three companies playing San Toy" and so the management states they never will be, as they consider San Toy" too valuable piece of property to have spoiled by inferior companies
 In the company presenting San Toy'' are Samuel Collins, George K. Fortescue, Hobart Shock, Sarony Lambert. Nagle Barry, Joseph Cauton, Elgie Bowen, Nell lie Lynch, Norah Lambert, Isobel Hall and large corus, the organization num- berng in all over sixty-five people.
 The company's orchestra will be com bined with the local orchestra, the whole to be conducted by John Braham.

not under bombardment. The northern forces have been before the city for months, making every effort. using every device, to break the line of defense and capture the confederate capital. Up to the time the play opens, their efforts have been effectually resisted by the des- perate bravery of the southerners, and the play now tells of a last effort made by the northern troops. A spy, known as Captain Thorne, and pretending to be a confederate officer, enters the city. He wins the love and confidence of Edith Varney a loyal daughter of the south. She is the innocent means of securing for him a commission from President Davis which places him in control of the war department telegraph lines. That IS what the spy wishes, for he is an expert telegrapher and the plan of attack is for him to send out false dispatches to weak en the confederate positions by with drawing troops from vital points. The spy, after many difficulties. finally reigns supreme in the telegraph office, when Edith Varney, who now understands, pleads with him not to take advantage of her trust and confidence by making use of the paper she had secured to be- tray her city into the hands of the enemy. The spy stricken with remorse, does not send the dispatches The moral is that even spy is not without honor In the last act, the spy has been captured, and is about to be executed, when the fact develops that though he had 1t in his power to send the dispatches, he had never done so. Consequently the attack on Richmond has failed, the spy is sim ply held as a prisoner of war. and he is marched away to prison with the promise of parole. Though he loses in war he wins in love- for Edith varney whispers in his ear promise to become his wife when the war is at an end

ouInIan 6 Wallis Minstrels.

Quinlan and Walls ministrels will be the attraction at the Jefferson theatre next Friday. In reviewing the perform ance given by this company a Norfolk, Va, critic said:
 Genial Dan Quinlan, whom everyone in the south knows as the premier in- teriocutor of minstrelsy, and his part ner, Jimmie Wall, presented their own new minstrl company to a large and appreciative( audience at the Academy of Music last night
 Quinlan has a reputation as a creator of new and novel first parts, but he has exceeded all former efforts in his Reception of the Diplomatic Legion" which serves to introduce a company of as clever entertainers as ever graced the minstrel stage. The scenery and costumes used in this distinctly novel first part are not only appropriate, but himself in the matter of splendid raj ment.
 -Quinlan has secured the services of some very good vocalists, comedians and dancers. by whom a most enjoy able evenings entertainment is given. The ensemble work of the octette was especially pleasing -
 The olio includes the Gaspard borthers. who juggle murderous looking battle- axes in a manner most alarming to timid folks. The comedy furnished by Jimmie Wall and Bobby Carol, ably assisted by Quinlan and others, is infec- tfous Walls monologue and parodies are very laughable.
 In its entirety the Quinlan & Wall show is far above the average. and will doubtless meet with the success that

thetic, he gives a most finishing protray- al. Not only 1t is said to be near per- lection as a specimen of good acting, but develops a certain psychological quality as rae as 1t Is praiseworthy in low comedy charact erization. "rhe Auc- tioneer" is as well crowded with laughs and ludicrous situations as a play pos sibly could be, and yet here and there are delft touches of pathos and human interest which, while leaving only a pass ing effect, serves to make old Levi hu- man and onvincing-qualities wheich comedy characters rarely possess. The popularity which MT. Belasco's new star has attained everywhere is demonstrated by the many inquiries already received
 at the street box office. Wariield s skill is ably seconded by a competent company, headed by that inimitable char acter actress, Marie Bates, who plays
 Mrs. Eagan, and including Robert Fische Maria Davis. William Baog,
 Sullivan, Harry Rogers, Horance D.. James, Helena Phillips. Dallas Tyler, Rachael McCausland. Tony Bevan and many others. The scenes showing fa- miliar New York localities are by no means the least interesting features of the attraction.

George Sidney and his big company of pretty girls and well liked comedians in the new musical show, 'Bussy Iz- zy'' will be the attraction at the Jeffer- son theatre Tuesday matinee and night.
 Busy Izzy' promises whole lot of good fun and catchy music, with rich wardrobe and slightly stage environments as a frame. Theatre-goers will not ex- pect much else when they read tha the new vehicle introduces ''Izzy' as the pro prietor of a big department store in which. as It's head, lazy will be busy in the roles, of floor walker, cashier, pro- prietor and general overseer. In this scene the audience will see much sold and little paid for. as the change in Izzy's fortunes from a feature comedian with Ward & Vokes to stellar comed- ian in his own right has not made him one whit more careful and he is the still imposed 'Izzy Mark that theatre-goers

He doesn't know a thing about running a hotel, but he is a wise little fellow when it comes to making people laugh, and that Is where he will come in strong with his audiences.

David WarfieId.

At the Jefferson theatre, on next We'd nesday evening. David Warneld makes his first appearance in the city as star, in ''rhe Auctioner.' From many quarters are heard expressions compli- mentary to David Belascos wisdam and discretion in singling out Warfield from the throng of character comedians. Belasco's judgment. as in the case of Mrs. Leslie Carter and Miss Blanche Bates, was again true, for the promises of success and popularity that he de- tected in Warfield have born fruit. It was generally remarked that New York had not seen more interesting or more artistic characterization than Warfields in "The Auctioneer." AS simon Le~s

Adelaide Thurston.


 Last season Adelaide Thurston, in Sweet Cliver,'' played the part of a simple country maiden, who, like a wild flower of the field, was transplanted to the hot-house atmosphere of city life. This season, in her new play, At Cozy Corners" the reverse happens. Miss Thurston's role is that of a city bred girl who braves the minded, suspic- ious denizens of little country town in Massachusetts. Both phases are in- teresting. In At Cozy Corners" the ad- ventures of a pretty girl even the silk Things of whose dresses irritate the gos- sips to malignity, are worth studying from a social standpoint. The play abounds in thrills and heart-stirring in- cidents. amid scenic settings of beauti- ful design and coloring Miss Thurs tons engagement takes place at the Jeff ferson theatre tomorrow matinee and night.
 The press everywhere has been ex- tremely generous to this charming little actress.
 In reviewing the performances being Civen this year the Charleston Evening Post said: Miss Adelaide Thurston ap- peared last evening before a large and appreeiative audience in her new play, At Cozy Corners," a comedy drama by the authors of her success, Sweet Clover" That she retained her popu- larity with local patrons of theatricals was manifestly evident from the many curtain calls she received and the fre- quent out-bursts of applause. She won the enthusiastic admiration of the au- dieno She filed the roll of Avis Merrill with charming grace and displayed her

Escape from Death at the

Anthony Musiskya, who was one Of
large number engaged in picking coal
on the culm dump near the Anthony
washery yesterday, had narrow es-
cape from meeting horrible death.
Musiskya found an unusually good lot
of coal and in his eagerness to gather
it did not notice that he had UNDER
mined large mass of culm, which fell
without warning, burying him COM
pletely. His escape from death was
due solely to the fact that an unusually
large number were present and many
hands were instantly at work in an eff
fort to rescue him.
He was dug out in an unconscious
condition and taken to the home of
Anthony Collins. nearby, where medi.
cal aid was summoned and after some
time he recovered consciousness and
apparently suffered no i'll effects from
his experience.
