ting tribute to this organization that it
should have the honor of closing the first
decade of the theaters history. 1t was
with the Empire teater Stock company
that Mr.. Frohman opened the house on
Jan. 23, 1892, and each year since the
stock company has played it's regular
winter season there. At the head of the
Empire company this season are Charles
Richman and Margaret Anglin, both of
whom won their positions by the re-
markable fine work they did in MRS.
Danes Defense last season. In the new
play by H. V. Esmond, 1.-THE Wilder

play is built along lines which have been

divergent that a comparison is an impos-
sib.Iity. Bright in dialogue, rapid in

most interesting one and great OPP
portunities are presented for scenic
embellishments. 1t tells O. the adventures
of a party of Americans wrecked on the
coast of Africa, who fall into the hands
of wandering tribe of Arabs. The
story opens on the deck OF the good ship
Mary Jane, which is nearing the coast
of Africa. The hero is a handso ne

bezzlement. He ships aboard the Mary

is. trying to get away to spend his ill
gotten gains. On the ship the villain
learns that the hero has been in his
cabin, and accuses him of attempting
theft, and succeeds in having him put
in irons. Then he learns that the hero
is in possession of facts that will send
him to prison and stop all chances of
