The Lafaycttc-..Ludy Windcmere's
Fan,

Lady Windemeres Fan" will be pro-
duced by the Bellows stock company at
the Lafayette Square next week.
While Lady Windemere's Fan" may be
said to belong to that school OF the mod
ern drama usually described as prob
lem plays" it is in no wise suggestive,
and has few. if any. superiors in its class,
whether judged from literary or dra-
matte standpoint. Written by the author
of "A Woman of No Importance" one of
its chief charms lies in the brillancy of
its dialogue. which fairly bubbles over
with the epigrammatic smart talk of the
fashionable characters the play SO skill
fully sketches. Unlike most plays pos
sessing great literary merit, Lady Win
demere's Fan" tells a strikingly dramatic
story the incidents at times rising to the
highest pitch of intensity.
At the regular souvenir performance
Monday night and Saturday matnee-a
large autographed photograph of An
toinette Walker will be presented TO every
lady purchasing admittance to the lower
floor for these particular performances.

that the show is one of the largest, most

novelties. which, taken on the whole.
makes the attraction of a somewhat diff
ferent theme.
The opening burletta, THE Isle of
