represented in the big, well dressed throng.

that this is an indication Of the unusual

Harry MacDonough plays the part of
Baptiste in the musical farce, "The Bill
lionaire," which is being presented this
season by Jerome Sykes with more than
ordinary success. The second act con-
tains distinct novelty-a handsome little

stage and so constructed as to give the ap-
pearance of a playhouse of considerable
size with stage of its own goodly proper

Mr.. MacDonough's burlesque of an Italian
grand opera tenor, who has lost his high
notes, is said to be hlariously funny. THE

Payne's celebrated lines.
The unusually well informed critic of
the Boston Transcript spoke truly few
days ago when. speaking Of Madame PATHS
second concert there. He said: "The
final song, Home, Sweet Home was an
example of exquisite singing, perfect in
phrasng, free from exaggeration. genuinely
touching and constantly beautiful in
sound. It is pleasant to think that the
last song Nine. Patti will ever sing in Bos-
ton can be remembered as as beautiful
bit of singing as ever was heard in the
town"

Madame Patti, but tribute to the genuine

Human Hearts" +"

Miss Agnes Fuller, who will be seen
as jeanette Logan, the adventures, in W..
f. Nankeville's Human Hearts" company,
is a particularly fine actress and excels in
such roles as the one that she will por-
tray in this sterling drama.
Miss Fuller for many years starred in
such plays as LA Belle Russe,' "Odette,"
Forget Me Not" and other dramas in
which the leading female part is of the
adventures order. Miss Fuller is very
handsome brunette with perfect figure
that sets off her gowns to great advantage.
In Human Hearts" Miss Fuller will wear
some very handsome and fetching frocks
that were designed from the latest Pa
risian models, and made by one of New
York's leading modstes.

"Sandy Bottom"

"Sandy Bottom"
During the past season many plays OF
heartfelt interest, intense dramatic situ+
ations and sterling qualities have been
placed before the public: Quincy Adams
Sawyer tale of Indiana; Alabama"
beautiful tribute to the state for which it
is named THE Old Homestead" with its
beautiful situations; way Down East"
typical of the New England country, have
all added to the stage literature, something
which touches the heart and prove lasting
factors in the amusement world.
Another successful play comes to us in
the shape of SANDY Bottom" distinct
lively American play depending to a great
extent on its portrayal of characters and
scenes of local nature. Down in the
Southwestern part of Arkansas, nesting
among the un-kissed hills and the ripping
of the forest streams, the whistling of the
quail and the songs of the mocking bird,
is situated SANDY Bottom" 1t is dis
tinctively rural, and the various characters
found in and about this locality are
simply duplicates of those found among
the hills of Illinois, Ohio and Tennessee.
As "Arizona" deals with the citizens
of the far Western states of that name, so
does SANDY Bottom" deal with the peace
full lives of those who live in the pictur-
esque hills of Arkansas, admitting Of elab-
crate scenic effects. This advantage, it is
said, Managers Hampton & Hopkins have
eagerly seized to supply their patrons with
something out of the ordinary in the way
of stage illusion. The services of an ex-
ceptonally good company have been Sc
cured for the portrayal of the characters in
SANDY Bottom" representing as closely as
possible the type of people living in this
| locality. Sandy Bottom" is announced at

found every day, lending helping hand
10 the poor and needy, hopeful and strong
in the hour Of trouble, with cheery word
and look to chase away the gloom, and
bring the sunshine into house and heart

the brighter and purer.
It is said that Manager f. D. J. Liniere

1t is but justice to the management
of the Broadway theater to comment on
the excellent manner in which it took care
of the big audience. The people, being
warned, were on hand early; there were
plenty of ushcrs and the seating of the
big crowd went easily and smoothly,
without the slightest crowding or long
waits that have sometimes been an annoy
ance in the past. And the theater was
emptied with equal order and precision.
