| Inc sale OF seats Tor the w edneSudy
matinee Dune 2D at Keith's has been
exceptionally large. owing no doubt to
the fact that on that afternoon patrons
will be given souvenir photographs of
Miss Edna Phillips, the popular leading
woman OF the Albee company. Miss
Phillips has great many friends and
admirers in this city, won by her clever
ness and personality. and everyone
seems anxious, according TO the demand
for seats for Wednesday afternoon, to
secure a likeness of Miss Phillips An
other souvenir performance. which Will
attract large crowds, Is that which viii
be given on Tuesday evening. June 80,
when patrons Will receive photographs
OF Mr.. Frank Losee, who is one o. the
biggest fayorites of the company. All
OF the souvenir photographs OF the Albee
company are taken by that well-known
firm, Sands & Brady and from special
sittings. Both Miss Phillips and Mr..
Losee declare these photographs TO he
the best likenesses they have ever had,
so Albee company patrons on these two
performances will be especially fortunate.

For the week of June 20 the Albee Stock
company Will offer an elaborate produc-
ton OF X. &. Cartons society comedy OF
English manners. Lord and Lady Algy,'
In which William Faversham and Jessie
Milward created such a furore In New
York a few seasons ago. 1t is no secret
that this play commands one of the high
est royalties ever asked for a stock play
which probably accounts for the fact
that IL is used but seldom and only then
by the first-class companies. The horsey
Lord Algy and his equally horsey wife
are distinct novelties to the stage, and
cut style. The role Of Lady Algy is
one that will fit Miss Evesson as IL
were written for her. and Mr. Williams
