THE GRAND.

1.-THE Little Church Around the Cor
ner," one of this seasons successes in
the East, but which is new to this city,
will open a weeks engagement at the
Grand opera house, beginning tonight.
Plenty Of thrilling and pathetic
scenes, an abundance Of good comedy,
with an excellent scenic display and
good company are said to make up an
entertainment that is interesting
throughout. The story of the estrange-
ment of husband and wife through the
Vaccinations Of a designing villain, the
loyalty of the wife, who is unjustly &C.
cused of infidelity and the final recon-
Citation by their child at the Little
Church Around the Corner"
A thrilling abduction scene is shown
in the second act, where the mother
smasheS a window and descends by the
fire escape in pursuit of the villain who
steals her child. A divorce court scene
is also shown>> which is both pathetic
and comical.
In the third act life struggle takes
place in the Flatbush insane asylum
in which the villain is overpowered and
thrown bodily through the window.
The title scene Of the play is shown
in the last act and is said to be both
realistic and beautiful. A magnificent
representation of THE Little Church
Around the Corner" is shown with a
snow storm in progress.
The scenery, which comes from the
studio of the famous Dodge, of the
Little Church. is said to be an ex-
quisite work of art, we'll deserving the
hearty applause it receives. The press
OF different cities has lauded the COM

Pete, not with suspicion, but to show
how eager he is to defend Hates char

he has received from her. but which

the burning conscience of the guilty
pair.

and wrings from her the confession
that breaks his heart-the truth about
her betrayal and of the birth of the
baby. In this moment. however. he
rises above his own passion, and in
his pure love for her shields the wom-
an who has been so faithless with
him.
He takes his own sublime revenge
at the last. when he leads the erring
woman to her father and makes the
canting Caesar take her in. 1t is then
he learns the full facts. for Philip con-
fesses that he is guilty. Pete would
kill him except for the interference of
Caesar. In the end, however, he
takes himself away to find a new and
better life, free from deceit. and leaves
the guilty ones to live out their blasted
lives. 1t is a sublime climax to a story
full of emotion, such as Mr.. Caine SO
we'll knows how to depict.
The engagement is for four nights and

O'NEiLL'S LEADING WOMAN.s

1t is not often that an actress makes
a success both in the Legitimate" dra-
ma and musical comedy. The woman
who flashes before the foothghts In
gay attire and sings song of the day
and makes fun of the serious things in
life has little in common with her sis
ter of the stage who must take the Sc
rious things seriously. Sometimes one
does change and then she becomes a
seven years wonder Of the profession.
Miss May Buckley, leading woman
for James O'Neill in 1.-The Manx1nan"
this season, is one of these prodigies
She has caused CONSERVATION among
her friends several times in her short
career by the ease and assurance with
which she changed from one field to
the other and-what is more to the
point-made hits.
Miss Buckley, who is a California
girl, made her first success in the East
as demure Chinese woman of '.rFhe
First Born" which was written espe-
cially for her. She was then verv
young, but New York liked her and ali
sorts of f1attering predictions were
made. There was no disappointment
for her well-wishers, for two more sea-
sons in the East gave her other on
portunities of which she took quick
advantage.
Then came the first surprise. Miss
Buckley went abroad and soon there

GHOSTS" AT METROPOLITAN.

1bsen's Ghosts" is powerful in the
printed page.
Translated through the intelligent
medium of such art as the public and
press have accredited to Mary Shaw,
who plays the stellar role of Mrs. Alvs
Ing, and her company, it has become a
dramatic event.
The actual art of her Mrs. Alving, in
its quietude, restraint and sincerity, has
won her high praise. What she does
with Mrs. AlVing is to bare the soul of
strong woman who has crushed her
life into the compass of the conven-
tons of right and thereby wronged her
Womanhood and her motherhood. The
problem plays of the day have given
to the Leslie Carriers, the Virginia
Harneds and the Blanche Washes the
task of barring the souls of weak women
who followed the line of least resist
ance and repented in hysteria in the
last act. The soul of the courtesan has
been turned inside out for the delecta-
the most interesting stage theme, as
well as the greatest thing in the world,
the light is the best subject for
dissection and analysis
There have been many Mrs. Awnings,
but they have been bloodless, anaemic.
The stage traditions of a woman with
a conscience and red blood turned in
side out in a problem play are rather
vague.
Mary Shaw, 1t is said, has created
the modern woman securely masked in
the finished manner of society, abso-
lutely correct in life, hedged round with
conventions, intellectually contained
and self controlled with the good train

MAIL ORDERS FoRf MANSFIELD.

Mail orders fol-, seats for the appear

number of Inquiries have been received
from a wide circumference for this i'm

does not appear anywhere north or west
of the Twin Cities nor within many
hundreds of miles south or east. The
mail order system serves the double
purpose of defeating speculation and
of giving an equal chance to all outside

choice of seats. The range of prices
will be from so cents to $500. Mail
orders should be accompanied by re-

as he was fascinated with the story, but
much trouble was experienced in get

which had been secured by Wilson
Barrett for England, and according to
his opinion, for the world.
1t was as a picture of simple rugged
manhood, which could rise to sublime
heights that 1.-THE Manxman' first at
tracted the deep interest of the Eng
disappearing world. In the book much
is told Of the boyhood Of Pete. In writ
ing the play Mr.. Caine and Wilson Bar
rett, who collaborated with him, took
the character at the dramatic moment
when he had decided to declare his love
for Kate Cregeen, daughter of Caesar
Greegan, the religious <nnkeeper, who
had long been his master. This incl
dent in reality is the beginning of the
story which Mr.. Caine set out to tell.
Pete" in his honest simplicity,
calls upon Philip Christian. his life
long friend, to intercede for him with
Caesar. He has not realized that Kate
has learned to think much of this
friend, whom in birth and prospects
is so much above either Of them. and
that Philip has looked with great ia
vor on the -innkeeper's. daughter. Phil
ip, however, has ambitions that forbid
such q marriage, and therefore pleads
for Pete. Caesar replies by turning
at the action of Philip, sends Pete
away to seek fortune in a happy frame
of mind because she promises to mar
ry him on his return.
Pete returns after an absence of
years, only to be betrayed by those in
whom he had placed his trust. Philip,
his friend in whose care he has left
Kate, has been far too attentive to
her, and she has become the talk of
the village and a subject of insult by
Philips registering cousin. Philip has
felt safe from his friend because ru-
mors have come of the death of the
wAnderer in the African gold fields
All are surprised by the return Of
Pete. Kate pleads that Philip shall
marry her and face his friend. but he
refuses to atone for his betrayal Of her
and forces her as a refuge for her
honor to marry his old companion.
Pete has been living in a fools para

showered his love upon his wife and
provided her with a fine home and has
been supremely joyful by the arrival
of baby. With all his attention he

needs. He is full of love for Philip

that marks his induction into the office
