will consist of selections from "Ben-Hur.
Regarding this entertainment, General
Lew Wallace, author of "Ben-Hur,' says:
'It was most excellent arrangement OF
Ben Hur,' and Mr.. Flowers displayed
splendid judgment in his adaptation. 1t
meets with my hearty approval. His
evolutionary power is admirably suited to
the work. He presents the scenes and
incidents of the plot in charming man
ner, and his work in the presentation
was by far the best have ever heard,
Mr.. Flowers work has my approval. 1t is
a revival of the ancient Eastern custom
of storytelling. 1t is a recreation of a
lost art 1t is in safe hands with this
young man and will prove an attractive
form of high-class platform work. | wish

THE ROSTONIANS-

The early coming of the Bostonians is
a reminder that with their return always
is heard the note Of cheer and happy ex-
pectancy. This season they have the
strongest equipment in the history of the
organization, not only in principal artists,
headed, of course, by Henry Clay Barna-
bee and William H. Mcdonald, but in the
numerical and vocal strength and finish
of the chorus. Their productions are new
and the recent change that made the Bos-
tonians corporation instead of a private
firm is believed to have worked a positive
revolution in the art spirit with which
their performances are charged. Mr.. Lou
don G. Charlton is now the managing di-
rector of the organization and Charles R.
Bacon business manager. They will be
heard here in the successful and deserved
ly popular opera, "The Serenade," the
production of which is announced for Sat
urday evening March q. For the Satur-
day matinee and Sunday night, "Robin
Hood" will be given.
