comedian, and his company pleased
with their presentation of The Game
Keeper" the romantic Irish melo-
drama, at the Illinois last evening.
Joseph jefferson Will begin limited
engagement at Powers theatre, Chi
cago, Monday, Sept. 2s. This will be
IA two weeks engagement and these
will be devoted to advertised repertoire.
Mr.. jefferson is the foremost figure of
the time on the stage. He is the most
conspicuous success of the last and
the present centuries, his record of
successful achievement covering Il
period of nearly so years. Over forty
of these have been passed with rip
Van Wrinkle" the charming hero of
Washington Irving's delightful sketch
of the same name, and more than
twenty-five of them with both ge-
NAL Rip, and quaint, peacocky,
staggering, warm-hearted Bob Acres.
Though these plays have been re-
peated thousands of times and to over
Il million, yet Mr.. jefferson is as
young and enthusiastic as ever in his
portrayal of them, and instead of
having lost any of his charm or inn
pressiveness, they are as convincing
and as glOriously entertaining as they
were in the first heydey of his re-
nown. There is sure to be the same
great interest in his announced visit
as there was in proceeding ones. His
acting is as facile and as full of heart
and polish as if he were so years
younger, and those who see him in
Chicago at Powers will be led to be-
lieve that he has not only discovered
the fountain of everlasting youth,
but that somewhere along the side of
Mount Olympus he has found new
sort of Pierian spring, which keeps
his beautiful art always fresh, fra
grant and vigorous. Seats can be Sc
cured in advance, by sending remit
lance and self-addressed stamped en-
velope. The repertoire for the en-
gagement is as follows: Monday,
Tuesday and Thursday night and
Wednesday and Saturday matinee,
RIP Van WinEle;" Wednesday and
Friday night. The Rivals" and Satur-
day night the double bill Cricket on
the Hearth" and Lend Ne Five Shill-I

Smiles and tears follow each other
in quick succession as the life story
of THE Village Parson" and his
wronged wife and little blind child
are Unfolded. The smiles are caused
by the ludicrous mistakes of two well
meaning friends. and the tears in
sympathy for the suffering ones. At
last. all is righted, and one leaves the
theatre feeling better for having seen
the play. The Village Parson" Will
be presented here Saturday.

The story of 'An American Gentle
man." to be seen here tonight, is so
dramatic and so beautiful. that the
play might well be adjudged Il success,
even if it were less deliberately equip
ped than it is. But in its present
form ''Ap American Gentleman" is
not only an excellent play, but it is
interpreted by a company of clever
people. and is staged with every scenic
and electrical effect that ingenuity
could devise. Although thoroughly
modern in tone. the play introduces a
romantic element in the form of sew
era1 gypsy characters, and its heroine
is u charming young girl, known to
her associates as Carina, the golden
gypsy. In her trials with her gypsy
keepers, she is befriended by an ath-
letic young American, who helps her
out of many manner of difficulties,
and finally aids in restoring her to
her parents, wealthy people from
whom she was stolen in childhood.
The golden gypsy" is a delightful
character, and though she is called
upon for many emotional scenes, she
is still provided with some refined
comedy Miss Gauntier Pottery will
play the role when it is presented
here.
