 "Wednesday and Saturday mati- E rss nees; Frank Beverley's Empire Combination.

Comedy will rule at Montgomery play houses this week.
 The Montgomery Theatre will be opened but one ht-Wednesday-but McDon- aids Theatre will be opened each night of the week with Wednesday and Satur- day matinees.
 A farce comedy, "Pickings from Puck which is new to Montgomery comes to to the Perry street house Wednesday fright. The company is headed by Willard Slmms who is said to be capable actor. One of the owners of the show Is Ollie Mack, the funny little comedian of Mur- ray and Mack who come to Montgomery each season. It is doubtful if Ollie Mack would send anything but good enter tainment on the road.
 McDonald's Theatre announces Frank Beverley's Empire Combination for all of the week. beginning Monday evening. when the house will be opened for the first time this season.
 This organization comes with a good reputation. Indeed Miss Sadie Townsend of the company is vocalist of note. She is a beautiful young woman with an en- gazing stage presence. The other mem bers of the company are said to be meri- for4ous.
 "Pickings From Puck"
 Willard Simms, the popular comedian of both America and Europe. has been especially engaged by Ollie Mack and Joseph M. Gaites to appear as Sam Film der'' in their new musical comedy Pick anN@ from Puck" by the eminent authors Clarence Simms and Theodore Northrup
 Mr. Eimms will be remembered as the leading comedian with the Casino Thea Ire. New York City. The Belle of New York Edna May Opera Go. and many others.
 The conveyance which Messrs. Mack and Gaites have furnished to star MT. Sinams in. is a light. airy sort of a Vaude- vile operetta in three acts filled with aaughable nonsense, but which amuses and pleases and keeps one in an uproar from the rise to the fall of the curtain. and sends one away with sayings and tunes that are uncomfortable for months and which the thought of either starts a laugh or a whistle unconsclously after once being heard. Such is the pleasing quality of material of which 'Pickings from Puck is composed.
 As to the surroundings, Mir Simms hs s especially engaged players that contain the names of many of the stages most popular farceurs, as well as having a

him to every one, his sterling loyalty to ms friends makes you love him. and yet there is never a moment in the play when you forget that he is a boy, edu-' cated in the gutter and grown in the strets. always ready for a practical joke or a witty retort and wholly lacking in deference for the honorable judge of the court when he is placed on the witness stand to testify. Miss Emmett's boy IS an enjoyable one of the kind that makes you laugh at his seeming impertinence and moment later applaud his straight forward heroic action "The Waifs of New York" will apparently go on for ever pleasing large audiences nightly.
 The De Wolf Hopper Opera Company. appearing in MT. Pickwick." is due at the Montgomery Theatre soon. It is said to be the largest and most expensive trav- cling opera organization in this country. De Wolf Hopper, the star of the company will of course appear in the title role; Digby Bell who for many years was the star of the Digby Bell Opera Company, will appear as Sam Weller, and Laura Joyce Bell as Mrs. Bardell. These three names alone indicate the excellence of the organization, consisting of seventy persons.
 In ''The Favor of the Queen" in which Miss Percy Haswell is to be starred this season under the direction of George Faw- cett, the actor-manager of Baltimore, there is a striking refutation of the idea that literature and the drama do not jibe well. As a bit of literature "The Favor of the Queen the product of a mere boy as 1t is is said to rank with great literary conceptions, and as a playable play it made a decided hit when first produced. The author of the play, Roy s. Sensa- baugh, of Knoxville, Tenn, is only 21 years old.
 There is reason to believe that the coming engagement of the Rose Cecilia Shay Grand Opera Company will be an event of the season. The young prima donna is a society girl of Cincinnati. ana at the immense Music Hall of that city which seats 5000 persons is said to have been the most important society event in the history of musical events in that city. Miss Shay has won her spurs in oppo- sition to the wishes of her friends in that city, but that now since her success has been so pronounced, they have all ral- lied around her and are watching h-r career with the greatest interest Tie incorporated stock company which sup ports Miss Shay is said to be the strong est organization of its kind that ever went out of New York. Among the art ists are Aleaxndre Lion. of the famous French Opera Company of New Orleans; Joseph Fredericks, who is thought by many music lovers to be the best lyric tenor that this country has yet turned

 Now that the Mrs. Deering's Divorce" has settled down for a run at the Savoy Theatre, much attention is being paid to Mrs. Langtry's gowns. While these are quite the most modish that have been seen in New York for a long time. tho critics did not devote much space to them on the morning after the opening, be- cause they seemed to think that the star and the piece itself deserved their serious attention. Mrs. Langtry's gowns in the Fendall comedy are gorgeous creations of the modiste's art and one in particu- lar. the black velvet in the third act, al- ways arouses the admiration of the femi- nine portion of the Savoy audience.
 Messrs. Sam s. Shubert and Nixon & Zimmerman think they have a big suc- cess in "A Girl from Dixie." Irene Bent ley is featured in this production and her song, Mary from Maryland" was enthusiastically applauded when she ap- peared in Atlantic City on Monday night last. Irene Bentley Is the blonde young woman who first became prominent be- cause of her remarkable resemblance to Lillian Russell. Miss Bentley has. how ever, succeeded in establishing a reputa- tion that has nothing to do with her beauty She has made hits in several of the George W. Lederer productions and was particularly successful in "The Wild Rose" Miss Bentley Is one of the Amer ican comediennes who may be counted upon to make good record as stars in the very near future.
 ''The Rector's Garden" comedy of American life, by Byron Ongley has been accepted by Henry B. Harris for Robert Edeson. MT. Ongley has been for the past two seasons member of MT Edeson's company. His previous work has been in the nature of several one act plays utilized by MT. Edeson at benefit performances. These were at- tended with such great success that Mir. Harris suggested his writing a four-act play In "The Rector's Garden" he has created for Mir.

Popular prices will prevail
 The Nashville American of late date says:
 Miss Sadie Townsend the soprano. was a delightful surprise. Great talent IS not expected of vaudeville singers. but Miss Townsend is an exception to the rule She has a good voice. which she uses to great advantage. Her work was loudly applauded.
 Herbert and Nolan, the negro comedy team, continued the good work that they did last week. Their Ghost of a Coon' Is a clever skit and is handled with abil- ity.
 Beverley and Danvers also presented clever sketch-"Excuse Me" Their act is not long way off the conventional lines, but it is played in a most eatisfac- tory manner.
 'The other acts on the bill were good" Speaking of Miss Townsend. the New Orleans Picayune said:
 
 finite variety, and her vocal offerings last night were new.
 Miss Townsend has before her a very brilliant future. whether she elects to continue as a soloist or to conquer in the operatic field. She may or may not have turned twenty, is very beautiful and the possessor of a low pitched soprano voice which really charms. A stately brunette of ravishing figure. her face is almost perfect. Her eyes of deep brown, are wonderfully expressive. Her carriage Is queenly and there ts wealth of grace in her every movement. In the years to come she will mount high. There Is no doubt as to her success. Last night she sang "Violets" in manner which earned her the heartiest of recalls. and her coon songs were delicious. She was. encored several times, and only refrained from appearing agas4 through sheer weari- ness"

FARMER SPENDS NIGHT .
BEFORE WEDDING IN JAIL

y young farmer from Henry cOun-
ty, accompanied by his betrothed.
came to Rock Island yesterday after
noon to get married. The happy event
was scheduled to take place today.
the lady going to the home of
friend 70 spend the night.
O'Day-that is the name he gave in
the police court this morning when
fined So for drunkenness-thou it
appropriate that he have a little cell
ebratiun of his own on the last night
of his bachelordom.
He finished harvesting the corn
crop yesterday, picking 90 bushels.
He was pretty tired, but the glamour
of the city revived him, and he was
prancing like 2-year-old when ac-
costed on Second avenue by Officer
Bowes. O'Day was devilish, and when
the officer advised him to go to the
feathers he gave him the waugh: said
he was out for time. and proposed
to have his own way. by gum. O'Day
would not believe-Bowes was po-
liceman, first taking him for a mem
Der of the fire department and then
for a street car conductor. This an
gered Bowes and he took O'Day into
camp.
Earlier i'm the evening the young
man had taken ride on the street
car to Moline and return. He carried
along his satchel. When the car
stopped on the return at Twentieth
street and Second avenue he supposed
he would have time to dampen his
whistle before it started again. and
jumped off. leaving behind his satchel.
Coming out of the saloon, he saw
what he supposed was his car turn
ing the curve. He got aboard. but
found that his grip was missing. He
said there had been a blamed thief
aboard. The conductor told him he
was batty. O'Day rode a block and
alighted. His next experience was
with the policeman.
Old r. f. Morse had possession of
O'Day when he appeared before Mag
istrate Johnson. He said it was his
first offense, and the court believed
him.
When the hearing was over and the
farmer had paid his fine he took the
magistrate aside and told him his real
predicament-how was he to square
himself with his bride-tO-be. The
court advised him to have the we'd
ding at once. Then if the story of his
escapade leaked out. like good wife
should. she would forgive him.
O'Day forthwith engaged the mag
istrate to performs the ceremony.
