vices, music, dances-to all of which she
gave her personal attention throughout the
year that preparations for When Knight

An inspection OF the program of yaude-
Vile novelties arranged for the entertain

for next week will convince persons who
are at all familiar with theatrical matters
that 1t is an exceptionally strong array of

est hits scored by any act on the bill was
credited to Howard and Bland, In a sketch
called "The Strange Boy" during which
Mr.. Howard played the piano in all sorts
OF ways to the intense amusement Of the
audiences. Manager Schlesnger having
In mind the remarkably strong hit of the
team with his patrons, has secured the act
for his headline feature for next week, and
there Is every prospect that success of
the same proportions that came to Howard
and Bland some months ago will be theirs
on the occasion OF their present visit.

Columbia Theater.

"Florodora," that fascinating musical
comedy which scored the greatest success
OF the local season when seen here some
months ago, will be presented at the CO.
lumbia Theater for the week commencing
next Monday. When first seen here it was
the general opinion that the performance,
although doomed to a degree that elevated
expectations to an almost unreasonable
height, was fully up to what was promised.
In the forthcoming engagement there is the
best of reasons for anticipating still fur
Their enjoyment from its catchy airs, droll
comedy and numerous other engaging fea-
lures as it will be interpreted by the origi-
nal company that appeared for over SEQ
consecutive times at the Casino and New
York theaters, and which, since closing at
the New York Theater January %. has
played four weeks in the principal suburbs
of Manhattan.
Heading the original company is Edna
Wallace Hopper, r. E. Graham, Helen Red
mond, Cyril Scott, Jeanette Lowrie, w. P.
Carleton, Susan Drake and Philip H. Ryley.
The famous beauty sextet will also be
brought along, as will the complete metro
pclitan chorus of pretty maidens and
the entire scenic production. The success
which the original company scored in New
York stands unrivaled in the theatrical his
tory of that city. Edna Wallace Hopper
never did anything which has brought her
into such favorable notorety as her por-
trayal Of Lady Holyrood r. E. Graham is
considered an ideal exponent OF the role
Of Cyrus Gilfain; Helen Redmond, who
gave her first performance of Dolores on
september 1, has sung the part ever since
and in such a way as to make the public
quickly forget her predecessors; Cyril
SCOTS Captain Donegal is a maryelously
clever piece of work. and the same may be
said of Jeanette Lowrie's Angela, W. P.
Carleton's Lord Abercoed. Philip H. Ryley' S
Tweedlepunch and Susan brakes Valleda.
The famous double sextet was one of the
features in the former production of
''F'lorodora" in this city that achieved a
popularity which has not yet shown signs
of abatement. and to hear the tuneful Tell
Me, Pretty Maiden" warbled by the famed
beauties who have been so extensively
written up by the metropolitan reviewers
will constitute one of the particularly popu-
lar adjuncts of the big and merry pro-
duction. Arthur Weld, who conducted ev-
cry performance Of 'F1orodora" In New
York city, will be in charge of the orchestra
Of twenty-five men, and In every other re-
spect the play as 1t will be given here will
be Identical with the Broadway representa-
ton. That the former engagement Of
"Florodora," although a record-breaker
did not quench the general desire to see
the pretty musical play is manifest by the
unusually large sale of seats. the demand
thus far indicating that the receipts next
week will go even beyond those played to
by the other company.
