has not been seen in this city since
1898, when it was presented by Nance

cett company is promised to be a most
complete one in every detail and should
meet with liberal patronage at the
hands of local play-goers. The man
agement desires to announce that Mr.
Fawcett has especially engaged at a
large salary Miss Olive Oliver, one Of
the best known and most accomplished
emotional actresses in this country, to
play the dual role of Lady Isabel and
Nine. Vine in this play. Miss oliver is

friends in st. Paul. Miss Oliver comes

two weeks engagement, playing the
dual role Of Lady Isabel and Nine

It might almost be said Of EAST
Lynne" that from a time to which the
memory of man runneth not to the con-
trary it has been a favorite emotional
play with all classes of play-goers,
| from the most discriminating to those
who are Indifferent to the dramatic
unities. This is not to be wondered
at when it is considered that the ro-
nance of EAST Lynne affords abund-
ant material for dramatization and
that the work has been effectively done.
This story fully illustrates a wom-
ans love, faith. hope and trials and is
pronounced by able and judicious crit
les as the greatest emotional plays of
modern times. No play Of the present
day enjoys such popularity as this
thrilling emotional drama, which Is I'M
doubtedly correct picture of society,
effective. in its arrangements, strictly
moral In its tendencies and delight
fully tinctured with the flakes of select
humor, which has on every occasion
proven to be a touching appeal
to all lovers Of the drama, and many
non-habitues who desire to see the
stage place where useful lessons
may be learned. This beautiful story
has everywhere proven a sensation I'M
para1leled In the history Of the drama
and Is universally acknowledged to be
true picture of life as it is rejecting
the felicities at the fireside, where con-
fidence and mutual love alone are
known, a magical representation of the
fortunes of jealous mind and remorse
attending misplaced confidence.
Mr.. Alexander Kearney, whose spIen-
did work in I'm Mizzoura" the past past
J week has won for him much praise.
will have the role of the polished VIII
lain, Sir Francis Levison, a part which
he may be expected to carry in a most
artistic manner. Mr.. Montague will
be seen as Archibald Carlyle, the be-
trayed and dishonored solicitor. The
part is one well suited to Mr. Mon
tague's temperament and he is sure to
give it a most effective impersonation.
