AT THE THEATER

The musical farce. Happy Hooli-
gam" written by Frank Dumont, from
ideas suggested by Fred Opper's clever
caricatures in the illustrated comic
weeklies, will be presented at the the
alter to-day, matinee and night. This
comedy character is at once recog-
nized as being true to life, while ex-
aggerated sufficiently to be exceeding
ly laughable. For picturesque and
comic situations Mr.. Frank Dumont
has seized every opportunity. The
principal characters are impersonated
by John Price, Frank McNish, Ruby
Raymond, etc., and chorus of twenty
pretty girls. Matinee prices are: Or
chestra, so cents; balcony, adults, so
cents; children, 25 cents, admission.
Regular prices at night.
Bettina Gerard, who appears to-mor-
row, matinee and night, with Max Fig
man as co-star, has been leader of
society gaieties, a comic opera star and
for some years past has appeared in
comedy of the society type. Her lat
est play is a funny semi-musical COM
edy, THE Marriage of Kitty" The
play was originally produced in Lon
don and was in New York last season
at the Hudson Theater Manager Jules
hurry has provided elaborate scenery
and a cast of remarkably talented
comedians to please the eye and make
for merriment. Max Figman appeared
as co-star with Sadie Martinez in THE
Passport" Matinee prices are: Orches-
ira, reserved, rs and so cents; balcony,
adults, so cents; children, % cents. At

Harry Beresford is billed to appear
at the theater on next Tuesday, matt
nee and night in the new play, "Our
New Man" No play on the stage to-
day, it is said, has taxed the risibili-
ties of people more strongly than this
great fun-maker. In the title role Mr..
Beresford has scored a complete tri-
umph. With all its absurdities its ri
diculous climaxes, it's humorous lines,
the play is so clean and wholesome
that even the most fastidious need not
fear having their enjoyment marred in
the slightest degree. The company
with which Manager Coleman has sur
rounded his star is said to be one of
the finest on the road. Seats on sale
Saturday morning.
Richard earle will appear in 1.-THE
Tenderfoot" at the theater on next
Wednesday night, fresh from it's sue
cessful runs in New York and Chicago
The now famous Texas comic opera
has had solid career of more than
year. having been in continuous serv-
ice since April II, 1903 The principal
claim for 1.-The Tenderfoot' is the nov
city of it's theme and background. Prof
Zachary Pettibone of Vermont played
by Mr.. earle, is thrown among cow
boys, rangers and all the other rough
and-ready jokers of the Southwestern
border, while on a visit to his niece.
The things that are supposed to hap
pen to "tenderfoot" supply the COM
edy situations. The main narrative is
romantic and concerns the love affair
of the professors niece with the colonel
of the Texas Rangers. Seats on sale
Monday morning. Prices: Orchestra,
$3.50; balcony, rs and 81; gallery, 25
cents.
When Polly Primrose was first
seen here last season 1T was voted the
pettiest and most interesting play of
it's kind since Miss Thurston delighted
so many with her Lady Babbio in
The Little Minister. Ihe success
achieved by the play promises that
this will be the most thoroughly en-
joyable evening of the season. Miss
Thurston will be seen here on next
Thursday evening.
Charles Thropp, business manager of
Miss Bob White arrived in the city
yesterday and made arrangements for
the appearance of his company at the
theater on Monday, Oct. "a.
