THE VOLUNTEER ORGANIsT"
 1rIIIG EVENING

| ''II Ii EJ NOl1DNIEEIG Ol[lIANlSl'' THIS EVENING.
 A most notable success is "The Vol unteer Organist," the story of which, with elaboration, has been taken by ! William B. Gray from his immensely successful song of the same title. The song had most phenomenal sale, over ! 2S5, 900 copies being sold in the United States alone, and now that MT. Gray | has placed it in dramatic form, it is even more popular. The great success of "The Volunteer Organist" in dra- matic form has made the author often wonder why he did not adapt it before. The piece as played on the stage neoes- sarily introduces several characters not found in the song, but they are all pre- scented in such natural manner that one almost wonders how the beautiful song prospered so well without them. The title of no song is better known throughout the land than this self
 same one, and the sterling quality of it is a guarantee that theater-goers here will anxiously await the opportunity of witnessing the play at the Hyperion tonight. Seats now selling, Prices $1,
 
 When N. c. Goodwin's and Miss Max inc Elliott's presentation of When We Were Twenty-One" shall have been seen at the Hyperion in this city to- morrow night play-goers will readily see that this is perhaps the greatest triumph ever gained by these two CO., stars. The play tells a story that wins immediate sympathy and may be said to introduce characters and situations that, besides being original, are new to the stage From a scenic standpoint
 the production will be most complete
 all the massive settings and stagings
 used at the original presentation at the
 Knickerbocker theater in New York be-
 ing brought here This setting com
 pares favora5iy with that of any pro
 duction--ia fact, it's cost far exceeded
 that of many much-heralded and high
 Appraised stage displays. The compa-
 ny that will support MT. and Mrs.
 Goodwin is said to be the best obtaina-
 ble, many of the original creators of the various roles still playing the parts that they originally enacted. As MT.
 Goodwin and Miss Elliott will appear only in three or four cities next year. and have been booked for London for
 the season of 1903-04, it may be several years before these talented artists will
 appear upon the local stage again;
 therefore all who want to see this charming love-ideal played as only MT. Goodwin and Miss Elliott can should put in their application for seats, as the advance sale is rapidly progressing. Prices $2, $1,5O and $1.
