Coming Events.

When the Ferris Stock company opened
it's engagement here, FIVE weeks ago,
among other things promised by Manager
Ferris was an elaborate production OF Sara
Bernhardt's play, "L'Aiglop." or in English
THE Eaglet." This promise is to be full
filled this week. Under the title which has
been Americanized to "Napoleon's Son. a
more appropriate name, 1t will be given its
first production tonight. Miss Hayward
will be seen in the title role and will don
for the first time here the habilments of a
man, the costume being the picturesque
short trousered military uniform Of the
period Of the Second Empire. In the part
Miss Hayward. as is her rule. will not
ape Of the business or mannerisms Of her IL
lustrious predecessor or those of Madame
Bernhardt's success or Maude Adams. She
will enact the role according to her own
conception of it. The piece, as can be nat
urally guessed, calls for the most elaborate
scenery and costumes in it's rendition. It
will be given both as this company consid-
ers 1t one of their seasons big productions.
The cast is also to be augmented by twenty
extra people. A series of glittering and
elaborate stage pictures are promised. The
play will run until Wednesday night. For
the last half OF the week the big scenic
Russian melodrama, The Crucl1x," will
be the offering. 1t will be given with the
same care as to detail that has marked
all the Ferris productions.

be repeated.

will be given by the NJ. w. A. Dramatic
