sweeps will be allowed to start to work and
then increase in the catch is looked for

"The Second Fiddle.n

Louis Mann comes to the National The

American author Gordon Blake. Mr.. Mann

B. Dillingham;, and will be starred in
strong character parts. In pursuance of

Second Fiddle" the title role of which is
said to be particularly adapted to Mr..
Mann's requirements. 1.-The Second Fid-
de- is comedy drama without music, al
though its story is concerned with the pro-
duction of an opera, and its scenes repre-
sent phases of theatrical life. The scene
in the second act shows the green room
of the theater during the production of an
opera, and is said to give a realistic peep
behind the scenes" Mr.. Mann's role Is
that of a musician who contends with poyr
erty and hundred other difficulties, and
who. is ultimately successful both in his
career and in his love.
