A number Of theater parties have
been made up for Thursday evening,
and the "old Homestead presentation
promises to be quite a social event.
1t is probable that the performance
will be repeated on Saturday evening.
Everybody is looking forward to a
good production from the pains taken
by the management in the detail Of
the play. The cast includes Janet
Waldorf, Alice Ward, Mrs. Carl Tay-
lor. Mrs. Allan Dunn, Miss Vida,
I Allan Dunn, W. D. Adams, George
KunkeI. Lieutenant Harry Newton,
| James B. Dougherty, B. Hartman, F.
Abbott, Hugo Herzer, F. Blanchard,
| Carl Taylor G. Ryan, w. Macken. The
Tuxedo Quartette, composed of Messrs.
Beardslee, Wall, Livingstone and
Dougherty, also act as well as play in
the first act. There will be three
| dress rehearsals of the play, tomorrow,
Tuesday and Wednesday evenings at
| the Opera House. The special illum-
mated scenery also requires rehearsal,
and will receive attention. The box
Office sale shows very few seats re-
naming, fiattering sign that local
productions. when well arranged, are
likely to be readily patronized. With
the late enthusiasm shown in amateur
theatricals, and the array of dormant
talent that has displayed itself, Homo
lulu may soon be on a parity with
Hongkong, Shanghai. Calcutta, and
other Oriental cities, where American
and European occupation has resulted
in self amusement by private theat-
ricals and dramatic clubs.
Miss Hartnagie has been a recent
