While all commercial interests are

Colonel Jared A. Smith. chief of
the United States Engineers Bureau

The committee addressed to the

AMUsEMENTs.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE
THE BONNIE BRIER BUSH.

When Bonnie Brier Bush was
first presented in New York, every
one anticipated such treat as
would naturally result from the
dramatization of Ian MacLaren's
charming stories. However, the
play which James Macarthur has
founded upon the narratives OF Rev
John Watson Qan MacLaren) has
proven one of the drollestand most
lal.s liable of comedies. Of course,
j. H. Stoddart's role as the typical
Scotch elder. whose regard for his
kirk takes precedence over his love
for his daughter, is serious enough,
but even this phase of the play is
lightened by manydeft and delight
full touches of humor. The Scotch
atmosphere SO prevalent i'll Ian Mac
Laren's writings has been subtly
preserved in the play. Among
the characters from the book whom
Mr.. Macarthur has included in the
piece are the tippling 'Posty, the
old school doctor, 'Weelum Mac
Lure, the free kirk minister, MIR.
Carmichael, Campbells daughter,
Flora. That The Bonnie Brler
Bush" appeals equally to the dis
criminate theatregoers and he un-
lettered is attested by the fact that
its run in New York was always
characterized by a large gallery aud
ience as well as enthusiastic spectat-
ors in the orchestra chairs and the
boxes. The Bonnie Blier Bush.
with Mr.. Stodlart and his New York
company will be seen at the Opera
House on Saturday, May 10th.
