The production will be every whit as mag nificent and complete as when the play was first seen in this country at the Kniekerbocker theatre New York.
 It is really astonishing how little can make a show-one good song well sung, as was the Sexteete in the original "Florodora,' or one dance, as was the champagne dance in 'The Silver Slipper" and so dozens of cases might be cited. Upon this basis, 1t is little wonder that Willard Spensers Miss Bob White," which Nixon and Zimmerman present in this city in a few weeks, should have scored so heavily, for it has no less than ten catchy numbers and a cast of tal- ented principals.

 The value of the stage as an educa- tional influence has been abundantly dem onstrated In the case of Charles B. Han ford, whose productions of Shakespear- can drama have been commended to the students by schools and colleges all over the country.
 Over a generation has passed since the great musical works of Gilbert and Sul- livan made their appearance, and in- oidentaly the founding of what is now known as musical comedy. Gilbert and Sullivan have now been followed In turn by Owen Hall and Leslie Stuart, whose ''Forodora" made them famous through out the musical world The latest musi- cal comedy by these gifted authors, The Silver Slipper" is considered in every way a gifted successor to "Florodora" and for six months literally crowded the Broadway theatre, New York.

genuine rib tickling wit and fun, 1t has never been excelled. This new comedy was suggested by the exploits of this extremely polite, courteous, eomplaisant eourtly, gracious. obliging and polished hobo whose earicatures are seen in the comic pages of the New York Journal end have certainly offered plenty of ma terial for rattling good performance, which is attested by the big business this company IS doing. Scencally the piece is beautifully presented, while the costumes are rich and in excellent taste.
 The average comedy is dist.aguished by the absence of a reasonable and connect ed story, but "The Marriage of Kitty" which Is soon to be offered here has a novel and strikingly interesting story from which all the fun and humor pro- eeed logically and naturally without in- terpolations and horse play. II was the originality of the story and brillancy of the dialogue that made this play the chief comedy success of last season in New York where at the Hudson theatre 1t repeated the enormous successes prev iously won in Paris and London In the latter city it ran for $50 performances. Manager Jules Murry will present this play here with a strong east of metro polltan players including Bettina Gerard and Max Flgman. The scenery which in- eludes some beautiful views of Lake Geneva under varying lights from sunset to sunrise, is an exact replica of that used in New York.

Che Foo, Sept. 10.-Gen. Nogis' next
assault on Port Arthur will be direct
ed chiefly against Rihlungshan and
Kikawanshan forts, which are the
strongest on the northeast flank.
This information Is derived from an
unquestionable authority who has

with the Japanese officer. who allow

The work of constructing trenches is
advancing rapidly.

on the slope. The Japanese tents are
pitched and they are relieved every
three days.
Food and ammunition and other
supplies ere brought them at night,
only for the reason that the detach-
ments are obliged to cross a level
safety. There seems little doubt that
the assault on Kikawanshan will be
the most trying one that the Russians
have yet resisted. Everything which
ingenuity can suggest is being done
by the Japanese to render the attack
successful. Among the contrlVances
to be employed are numerous heavy
portable shields which have been con
structed at I'alny and which Will be
used to afford protection.
Guns and shields will be moved as
closely together as possible ,nrougi
the trenches before the assault Is
made, in order that they may be
quickly hauled to the summit whei
the forts are taken.
The entire Japanese force now sur
rounding Port Arthur is estimated a
$4,000 fighting men.

Gen. Kuroli was making dash

The Taitsc river the night of Aug.

He continued to advance steadily and
turned the Russian left. His army
'overed ~ miles in quick time. The
effect of its presence and movements
was to force the .>dssians To leave

the first corps was still facing Gen.
Oku on the left. This Russian corps
had lost three thousand men.

of the Rnussion line with a division
composed of cavalry, artillery and
infantry. During the night Of the
