 Friaay and Saturday nights, safur- day mattnees Ted Faust's Minstreis. Tn considering the theatrical offer ings at Montgomery play houses this week one imagines that the Dookihs' H,s were influenced by the National eiec- tion which is to be pulled of Tuesday. At any rate the managers have deemed 1t wise to let their houses re- main dark the first two nights Of the week and to give favor to the last end of the week.
 AS if to compensate theatre-goerS for closing up Monday and Tuesday nights both of the Montgomery houses will present good entertainments to- ward the close of the week.
 The Montgomery Theatre will offer an exceptionally good list of attrac- tions and the Bitou Theatre announces . minstrel show--Ted Fausts-that Manager Neal guarantees to be clever ana clean.
 Two great big musical entertain ments that have been seen here before are to be produced at the Perry Street q play house and both of them are merl- torious Indeed, little is to be said to Montsomerians of either Miss Bob white,s or 'sThe Silver Slipper" They are prime entertainments and the man. Rgers deciare they are better than be- fore.
 sThe Fatal Wedding" is a highly seasoned melodrama that has been seen here before. It has made much money for Sullivan Harris and Woods and win serve to pass away an evening,
 The return of Claus Bogel as Oswald In .'Ghosts' awakens pleasant mem ories of this extraordinary youns Louisiana actor. His presentation oi this highly drawn character sketch oi Ibsen with Miss Gallatin was one oi the distinct successes of last season So great was his success. indeed. thai he is featured this year as the star oi George Brennan's production oi Ghosts"
 Unless all signs fail the engagement of Ted Fausts Minstrels at the Bijot will be interesting. Doc Waddell Business Manager of Mir. Faust sayt the show is as good as that Of Al Field or Lew Dockstader. MT. Wad dAIl has a great reputation as an hon est showman and he ought to know what his recommendation means.

 Although Willard Spenser has writ ten three successful operas, and mas eomposed the musical scores as well 1t is his latest work. Miss Bob White which will cause his name to reverbe- rate through the avenues of fame.
 ssThe Little Tycoon" was a success; n Princess Bonnie" he showed progress but in Miss Bob White" the author composer has demonstrated a seasoned ripened familiarity with the technicque of composition and an ability to dove tail his material as much more com prehensively that he at once places himself in the front rank of operate composers and at the same time com mands q dignified position among Iibrettists.
 It is therefore small wonder that Miss Bob White" achived a run of g hundred performances in Philadelphia at once placing itself in the foremost rank of the years successes. FaI and away beyond It's intrinsic merii either as a play or as an opera, stands out boldly itsyprime claim for consider ation, and that quality is its absolute cleanliness, not only in theme and de- iineation, but in it's very conception.
 Messrs Nixon and Zimmerman have fairly lavished money on the scenic and costume environment of Miss Bot White" and it stands today as one oi the most elaborate productions ever of fered on the American stage. In east ing 1t. they have been no less gener- ous and among the people comprising the company may be mentioned Frank Deshon, J. L. Mcclure, Edward Baker Donald Archer, Nye V. Melshaw. Jim Mcclure, Mae Phelps, Alice Kraft Ben son, Elijah Harris, Harriet Trainor Georgia Campbell and Sudie Talmadge
 The opera was staged by Ben Teal and A. M. Holbrook and Howard Cooke directs the orchestra, the bulk of which is carried by the organization in order to insure a proper rendition of the musical score.
 The engagement here takes place on Wednesday night at the Montgomery Theatre.
