Wednesday Night, "Arizona. v

Arizona" by Augustus Thomas, the author of Alabama" is to be seen at the Montgomery Theatre Wednesday night. The excellent company which will appear fin it, is under the direction of Kirke La Shelle. Among some of the principal players in the Arizona" company are James Fulton, Fraser Coulter Lionel Barrymore, Charles Lane, Willard Curtis, Miss Laura Almosnino. Grace Thorne, Catherine Countiss, Carrie Reynolds and other well known professionals.
 The Atlanta Constitution of Friday. January S1st, says of this play and com pany:
 "'Arizona' has many friends-good, loyal friends. in Atlanta: friends made by contact and association that become more cordial and warmer as time passes. After last night at the Grand Arizona may without question number new , friends on plenty with those already made here. The presentation of this play last evening was unquestionably the best, most evenly balanced and-the truth told .-the most artistic Atlaniians have ever patronized ard applapded.
 ''The play itself an idyl of rough West ern natures, but true. human hearts and pretty and graphic situations. is too we'll known to demand description. It is a page of life, of human interest, of truth that comes brighter and more golden for having gone through the crucial test of self sacrifice. Arizona has already made gced here-it is of the cast the criticism should more strictly deal. -..
 There is not q weak spot in the splen- did galaxy of players that essayed the ioles last evening. It is a .painstaking. conscientious and thoroughly competent cest-one that would make much of even a smaller play than this splendid one they have lMr. Ainsworth. as Lieutenant Denton, probably reaped the Hons share cf approval from the audience last night, and he deserved the best that can be said: but an able, most refreshing and altogether delightful second to him was pretty and attractive Miss Esmond as Bonita, Sergeant Kellar. who, by the way, was here last year in the same role, gave as good portrayal of the German soldier tp ;AEnsrican blue as he did a year ago, which is saying 1t was par excellence. Miss, Parry as Estrella Bon ham, was dramatically and artistically suited to her trying part. and sustained it throughout in an unusually charming manner.
 Miss Ray, as Lena, was petite and pretty in a part hardly commensurate with the ability she displayed. wish to see her in better part must be owned Of the others of the cast, Mir. Armstrong, as Henry Canby, the rarch owner; Mir. Meech as Colonel Bonham, and MT Ring gold, as pr. Fenton, were all that could be desired.
 {" Arizona with the present cast, Is at Its best-a beautiful. absorbing play in the hands of people who do every line and situation full justice"

Haverly,s Minstrels Friday.

The most enjoyable minstrel that has ever toured the country is that inimita- ble comedian. George Wilson, who has earned a worldwide reputation as a real fun-maker many seasons past. He has ever been original and never resorted to anything but clean u7-to-date ideas in selecting material for his audience. This season he Is making a big hit with the New Haverly's Mastodon Minstrels, which is now practically the most mod ern and thoroughly organized company of ''burnt cork players on the road
 There is no end of novel acts and the comcdy purveyors. singers musicians augmented band and orchestra. are far above anything previously Introduced in minstrel performances. All old Ideas have been discarded and In lieu thereof a brilliant array of artists indulge in that most desirable in the minstrel entertain ment.

he went through while penetrating to
the interior of Thibet which is told of

with handouts and strapped upon
saddle filed with iron spikes which tore
the flesh about his spine, the horse be-

On a prismatic bar OF wood his legs
were stretched far apart and bound and
being held in an upright position a
white hot iron was passed before his
eyes soaring the eyeballs. Then held
by the hair a lama threatened to cut
off his head with sharp sword, each
time just missing the neck in order
to make the torture more keen Then
stretched on the same bar a cord was
tied to his wrists and drawn upward
letting his body fall backward A cord
stretched to the neck of his servant was
held likewise and they remained thus
for three days in rain and shine Final

friendly officials.
