TALES OF THE THEATRE.

contain a number of striking feat
ures never seen before.
The Illinois theatre, Chicago, will
present for its Thanksgiving attrac-
ton the Klaw & Erlanger Opera com
pany in a new comic effusion by
Harry Il. Smith and Gustave Kerker,
entitled The Millionaire" The stel-
lar member of the cast is Jerome
Sykes, well-known operate com
pecially for his performance of
Foxy CUTLER" Messrs. Klaw q Err
LANCER have surrounded Mr.. Sykes
with altogether the largest and best
company engaged in the presentation
of comic opera for the present day.
Among the principal singers are the
Misses Eleanor Kent, Nellie Follis,
Marie Doro and May Robson-the lat
er. probably, the best coincidence for
eNtravagant roles on the American
stage. The gentlemen in the support
include Julius Steger, Harry Mac
dOnough, Thomas Leary, Harry Kel-
ly, John c. Kennedy and others. Those
of our readers who are familiar with
few years will recognize in this ar
ray of talent a group of popular ia
vorites which it would be impossible
to equal. This fact, coupled with the
information that the chorus is as
comedy, tidy and dressy as it is large
in numbers. will assure n visit to the
Illinois by everyone visiting Chicago
during the fortnight this attraction
remains at the popular theatre on
Jackson boulevard. "The Millionaire
itself is conceived in high vain of
humor, which is carried out in a
thoroughly successful manner.
There is a delicate thread of satire
throughout the book, which is direct
ed against the whims and idiosyncra-
sizes of the sudden rich and some
members of the very rich, who are
wont to dazzle Europe with their ex-
travagant expenditures of coin of the
realm. 1t will be readily understood
that this is very unctious field for the
comic opera librettist and Mr.. Smith
is said to have taken excellent adj
vantage of the opportunity. The
music by Gustaye Kerker may be ac-
cepted as all right. His score for
The Belle of New York established
Mr.. Kerker in the front rank of CONF
posers on both continents. When it
comes to staging productions of every
kind, no firm of theatrical caterers
in America today compares with that
of Klaw & Erlanger. Recollections of
Ben Hur," THE Sleeping Beauty and
the Beast" the Rogers Brothers va
rious productions, Foxy CUTLER" and
numberless other successes attest the
superiority, not to say the eXtrava-
gance of these gentlemen. The en-
gagement began last night and
Will continue two weeks with speci-
al holiday matinee Thanksgiving day.

The Best Remedy for Group.

From the Atchison (Kans) Daily
Globe: This is the season when the
woman who knows the best remedies
for Group is in demand in every
neighborhood. One of the most terri
BILE things in the world is to be awak-
ened in the middle of the night by a
whoop from one of the children. The
Group remedies are almost as sure to
be lost, in case of Group, as Il revolver
is sure to be lost in case of burglars.
There used to be an old-fashioned
remedy for Group, known as hive syr-
up and tolu, but some modern moth
ers say that Chamberlain's Cough
remedy is better, and does not cost
so much. 1t causes the patient to
throw up the phlegm" quicker, and
gives relief in a shorter time. Give
this remedy as soon as the crOupy
cough appears and it will prevent the
attack. 1t never fails and is pleasant
and safe to take. For sale by all
druggists.

Smith estimates that Evansville,
Terre Haute and Marion viii play to
$4,000 people each next season and
some of the other cities in the new
league MAY do even better than that.

scented at the Illinois, Thanksgiving,
matinee and night. Miss Katherine
Wizards tour last season was mark
ed by the most emphatic success.
