next Sunday evening will be novelty
in the shape of a new romantic Irish
drama, entitled, The Game Keeper, -
in which the title role is taken by Mr..
Thos. J. Smith, the young singing
comedian. ''The Game Keeper" tells
story of Irish life, in which Mr.
Smith figures as. the hero. He is a
jolly, delightful chap, full of mother
wit, with heart as big as that of the
proverbial OK, and honest as the day
is long; without fear, and without
favor; ready at all times to assist his
friends and protect the down-trodden.
A charming love story is interviewer
through the play, in which our Game
Keeper" of course, takes the principal
role. His enemies set SHARES for him,
and even accuse him of murder, but
he outwits them all, and in the last
act, achieves the happiness he so well
deserves. An interesting feature of
the performance are Mr.. Smiths songs
which he knows so we'll how to sing,
and which are interspersed through
the different acts. The scenery used
for the production is all carried by the
c company, and the Illuminated chapel
scene in the last act is said to be one
of the most beautiful stage pictures
ever presented.
ashore Acres" the familiar drama
of rural New England life, comes to
the Turner Theatre the first of next
month. This play is in its twelfth
year, and the ready welcome which it
has received during all that time, with
out lessening of interest, is a good
evidence of the hold it has on poular
sentiment. People crowd TO the theater
to see it each year, witnessing the
same story enacted again and again,
with the same interest that centers
about a novelty. The way this play
maintainsitselfin popular appreciation
can be attributed to but one cause, it's
faithful representation of the comedy,
tragedy, emotion of everyday life, as
found in the country homes of settled
communities. It awakens in the soul
of each auditor recollections of scenes
once familiar, feelings once part of
his own life, and it does so without
any clap-trap, sentimentality or un-
reality, without any false glamor for
the sake of romance or incorrect pic
turing due to ignorance. The fidelity
of this play to human nature, it's
por trayal of the homely life of simple
people, makes an appeal to rich and
poor alike.
Manager Chas. Griebel has booked
'Quincy Adams Sawyer" for two per-
formances at the Mankato Theatre on
the afternoon and evening of Saturday,
December 9Th. ''Quincy Adams Saw
yer" is rattling good homespun play
of life in Massachusetts, village
bright, fresh and breezy and filed with
honest love. Itpresents unique phases
of Yankee country life, and has the
real country atmosphere. The play is
promised as one great big laugh from
beginning to end, with the sweetest
love story ever told. It is presented
in four acts and five scenes, all speci-
ally built and painted for this pro-
duction. Seats on sale at Central News
Stand on December End.
While ideals of acting are varied
and the personal equation enters so
largely into any individual Judgment
of a players art, it may be safely as
serted that any unbiased spectator Of
Mary Shaw's performance of Mrs.
Alving in Ibsen's masterpiece,
Ghosts will unhesitatingly rank
her with thegreatest performers of both
