MR.. HANFORD's COMING.
The Appearance of the Eminent Actor
in Raleigh Creates Great Interest.

The announced appearance of Charles
B. Hanford at the Academy of Music,
October 9th, in a fine production OF
Much Ado About Nothing is attracting
wide attention.
So large is the territory which the
controlling interests in American theatri
cal affairs are expected to cover that it
is fortunate community, however large,
that sees more than three or four really
hrst-class legitimate productions in a
season. Many are advertised, but few
are accepted by the theatre patrons who
from year to wear grow more discrimi-
hating. The scarcity of the supply or
good legitimate drama, and the con-
stantly increasing demand have caused
the lines of Charles B. Hanford to be
cast in pleasant places for the past few
seasons. Mr. Hanford has long been rec
ognized as one of the most capable actors
that this country has produced, but it is
only of recent years that he has been
awarded undisputed possession of his
chosen field, namely, Shakespearean
comedy.
