Two of Hoyt's Best Plays.

Here is what The Atlanta Journal of September 25 says about the company that will present two of Hoyt's comedies at the Montgomery Theatre next Friday and Saturday, with matinee each day. "A Stranger in New York will be given at Friday matinee and night, and "A Trip to Chinatown Saturday matinee and Night.
 "The almost unheralded company that came to the Grand yesterday and last night with Hoyt's A Stranger in New York; put up a performance of that ridic- ulous skit that would make some recent presentations of the same play look like thirty cent3. In fact, the company was go much Letter than anybody expected that the audience was little bit daZed At today's matinee and this evenings performance the same company will pre- sent that most amusing of all Hoyts plays, A Trip to Chinatown and 1T chinatown is put oo as well as the Stranger people who like pretty girls. swell costumes, new and entertaining spe- cial.ies and three acts of laugh ought by all means to come out whether it rains or not
 For example, there were no less than sixteen specialties introduced last night, all of them fair and several excellent. Mfr. Campbell sang MT. Dooley.' and re- sponded to so many encores that the count was lost. Miss Starr received abundant applause for both her songs. Miss Katherine Wells Gn a stunning cos tume) gave a laughable monolOgue, and Campbell and Mack convulsed the house for ten minutes with bunch of the most nonsensical ditties, punctuated with rapid fire remarks.
 Several of the girls are noticeably handsome Miss Starr. the leading lady, who played Hattie last night. and will be seen this evening as the Widow, is one of your dimpled. dreamy y-eyed daugh. ters. with a fetching wink, an arch glance and a jolly laugh. Miss Wells, as Vir- Ginia. was another remarkably handsome woman. The men wore their evening colthes with positive ease-rare thing that. MT. Campbell made an effective Stranger, and Mr. Mack did a great deal with the smaller role of I. Collier Downa.
 "rhe company as whole is thoroughly adequate"

ricty of styles could be secured by call ing in different musical genilses. Ac- cordingly, the score of "The Liberty Belles' possesses a wider variety than has ever before been noticed in pro- duction of this character. The songs for both principals and the minor members are of the merriest.
 Mir. Smith, the author of this bright conceit, is admittedly one of the ablsst writers of lyrics in America. Many Of the cleverest he has ever written are in- corporated into this musical comedy with such adroitness that the legitimate con- catenation of the plots events is not in- terrupted, but is rather aided in its de- velopment by them. The book of the piece has the reputation of being especial ly bright and is said to bs written .n Mir. Smiths best vein.
 The first act, in its humor and sponta- neosu fun, sets a pace which very few librettists could follow, maintaining the interest which the novelty of the first act creates up to the final fall of the curtain.
 As a beauty show, it is said no musical comedy ever seen on the American stage has displayed more feminine lovelness. Every young woman in the piece is said to be a real, wholesome. captivating beauty. This comedy has scored its suc- cess because it is clean, rollicking and entertaining. It ran for over four months at the Madison Square Theatre in New York, playing to the largest receipts ever known in the history of this house. from the days of Hazel Kirke" to date.
 Harry Gilfoil, one of the funniest com edians on the stage, is featured in this production by Klaw & Erlanger. Be- sides MT. Gilfoil the cast includes: Har- ry Linton. John Gilroy, J. Q. Marlowe, D. Mack Lumaden, L.. D. Wharton, Nat K. Cafferty, Edward Pooley. Violet Dale. Katie Rooney. Augusta Close, Minnie McEvoy. Lillian Austin, Jessie Rich mond, Catherine Carr. Kitty Ardavani, Vivian Densmore, Florence Hubbard, Ed ith Darrell, Sadie Bowling, Marie Gra- ham, Lottie Stavoley, Katherine Roberts, Martha Barosh, Ailsa Craig, Maude Ma pier May Schmitt. Senta Bernard, Jeanne Palmer, Lizzie Mccoy and Nellie Me Coy.

STATEMENT BY SHAW
ANOTHER EXPLANATION BY
 SECRETARY OF TREASURY.
Comptroller of Currency "May" Ap- point Receivers If Reserves are Reduced, But He Will
 Not Do So.

Washington, Oct. 4.-Secretary of the Treasury Shaw this afternoon issued the following circular to National Banks:
 Treasury Department,
 Office of the Secretary,
 Washington, Oct. 4. 1902. A wholly unauthorized and unfounded report appears to have been sent from Washington yesterday, calculated to mis- lead, with reference to the action taken by the Secretary of the Treasury relative to the maintenance of reserve against government deposits secured by govern ment bonds. That there may be no mis- understanding. either as to the law or the action taken by the department. you are advised:
 The national banking act, as you are we'll aware. lays down the rule that all associations shall maintain certain re- serve against all deposits; falling to do which the Comptroller of the Currency '.may'' notify any association to make good such reserve. Ealing to do which within thirty days the Comptroller may with the concurrence of the Sec retary of the Treasury appoint re- ceiver" etc.
 The law therefore lays down the rule that the reserve shall be maintained but lodges a discretion with the Comptroller and with the Secretary ot the treasury as to the enforcement of the rule. You are therefore notified that the rule VIII not be enforced so far as 1t relates to government deposits secured by govern ment bonds.
 It must be borne in mind in this con nection that 1t is not the intention or the department to encourage increased creoit' On the contrary. very great conservatism should be exercised. But it Is the desire ol the Department that no worthy business interests shall suffer simply because bank has invested It's money Tn govern ment bonds to secure a government ue- nosit and to that extent has relieved the treasury from a growing surpius' ana has thus restricted Its capacity 10 extend aooonmodation. Leslie M. Shaw, Secretary.

VARIETY OF ADJUSTMENTS
 FOR MONTGOMERY PUBLIC
Bills at the Two Theatres this Week Include Musical Farce and Legitimate Comedy as
 We'll as Drama.

The amusement bill for Montgomery for the week is varied and attractive.
 It indicates four night and two matinee performances at the Montgomery Thea ire. six night and two matinee perform ances at McDonald's. The amusement loving public of Montgomery has all that It could desire in the bill arranged for it in the present week.
 Not only in quantity but in quality is the weeks entertainment praiseworthy. At the Montgomery Theatre appears Wednesday night for the first time in Montgomery The Liberty Bells," which comes South with the stamp of New York's approval. The Liberty Bellies" as musical comedy is unique in at least one particular. the music is, as it were. a symposium contributed by several com posers. It is not, as is the custom in such attractions, written by one man. The book is by Harry B. Smith, who has perhaps had to do with more sue cessful musical comedies than any other author. Harry Gilfoil. who has the gifts and talents of the true comedian, is fea- tured in the production.
 Thursday night at the Theatre, the fa- nous comedy of Augustus Thomas, "On the Quiet" will be presented. Augustus Thomas. the author of this comedy suc- cess is better known. perhaps. by his more ambitious efforts, such as Ala bama." Arizona" Tn Mizzoura," and others. but his comedy is no less meri- torious than his effective dramas.
 Thomas w. Ross, comedian of ac- knowledged ability, will appear in the principal role of 'On the Quiet" that of q Yale student, whose youth and dar- ing involves him >in serious but laugh able difficulties.
 Messrs Hirscher Co.,, Managers of the Montgomery Theatre. draw particular at teation 10 the bills for Friday and Sat urday, on which days two performances of Hoyts famous comedies will be giv- en at reduced prices. Friday at matinee and night performance, "A Stranger in New York" will be produced. The b. for the two Saturday performances will be "A Trip to Chinatown"
 The company which will present the 1aughabe Hoyt comedies has received the strong endorsement of the press in the cities in which it has appeared.
 At McDonalds the attraction for the week will be the Bonnair- Price Company. The leading lady of this company, Miss Bonnalr Price, Is described as an actress of force and power, and she is said to be supported by strong and intelligent company.
 The company will opsn Monday nigkt in "A Woman's Powers," two matinees, Wednesday and Saturday afternoon. will be given. A number of good specialists are with the company, and polite vau- deville Is promised. The company will play at popular prices
 Forecasts of the weeks attractions give some idea of their quality.

OThe Eternal City,"


 atre in Washington, Miss Viola Allen will appear for the first time as Donna Roma Volonna in Hall Gaines dramati- zation of his novel, The Eternal City" For several reasons this play promises to be one of the sensations of the year, and if expectation does not go far astray Miss Viola Allen will be provided with a role exceeding, in its range and worth. Hall Gaines enthralling story should lend itself easily and readily to the require ments of the drama, and a play pro- duced by the author -dramatist which will very likely eclipse his first great sue cess '"The Christian" Miss Allen is not alone relying upon her great popularity and talents to win favor In this play.
 The great Italian composer. Pietro Mas cagni, has written the incidental music for the drama, while Miss Aliens ma i- agers have provided a production in scenery and costumes which promises to be the most magnificent seen on the stage in recent time, and a supporting company of surpassing worth and excellence.
 Miss Allen will impersonate Donna Roma Volonna, while Edward Morgan will impersonate David Rossi. the hero of the story. E. N. Holland will be tho Pope Plus K. and Frederick de Bellville will be seen as the Baron Bonelli, Prime Minister of Italy. and Donna Roma's guardian; W. E.s Bonney will be the Bruno Rocco. and George c. Bonifac., Sr., the Tomaso Mariotti. The company will be a very large one, everyone of the twenty-six principals being tn the hands of well-known players.

 The Jackson, (Tenn.) Sun, says:
 Miss Price is an actress of rare abil- ity. beautiful in face and form, and In the part she played gave full expression to those beautiful andkbewitching traits of and noble woman of the South. The per formanee was interspersed with some ex- cellent vaudeville numbers which met with hearty rounds of applause. This is the best popular priced company that has visited Jackson in many a day."
 The Jackson (Tenn.) Whig said of the company:
 Miss Bonnair Price and her superb and even company continue to draw good crowds at the Mariowe. This company presented last night, by special request, the bill of last Monday night.

Her work was exceed ingly true to nature She. in a most ex- cellent manner, with a natural ease. gave artistic expression to the many phases of emotion of which the play is rendo. lent. The play was exceedingly good. the work of the leading lady, Miss Price. was magnificent, and the even support of the company all that a star could ask.
