Those who have not yet visited the new
Lyceum. since it. has been reopened by
the Ferris Stock company, can have no
conception of the beauty Of the theater,
the uniform courteousness OF all Its en-
ployes, the excellence of the company,
plays and music, or the completeness and
sumptuousness Of the stage productions.
Thousands visit the rLyceum regularly

characteristic brand for It," There are
few so versatile as to- make distinct
parsonage of every role. Tragedians and
the heavier class Of actors do not find so
much difficulty in putting on a new per-
sonality with a new set Of togs. 1t is
different with q comedian, but Mr.. Ferris
Is fortunate in possessing vein of humor
so quaint so genuine, so chara cteristic
that it shines forth through any person
atty he may assume. The American
stage has few plays moce enjoyable than
Peaceful Valley and fewer still are
the actors capable of presenting them.
1t is difficult to take ones mind or
