at the Lyceum Theatre on September 29,
30 and October /.
dealers In White Women opened a
three days engagement at the Lyceum
Theatre yesterday afternoon. The matinee
was one OF the largest seen this season
although the attendance last night was
not so large. Those who like many excit-
ing situations must have been pleased.
The scenery Is elaborate. The same at
traction will be here this and tomorrow
afternoon and evenings.
Leon W. Washburn, with Stetson's
Uncle Toms Cabin" Company, be-
gins an engagement at the Grand
Opera House on Friday and Saturday
afternoons and nights when the pa
] irons Of that popular house viii see
this time honored play in all its SUI
perior attractiveness. Uncle Tom"
the hero of this purposeful story, is
portrayed by Ed. Espy Stetson's orig
inal Uncle Tom" probably the best
known impersonator of this celebrated
character in the world.
| Charles B. Hanford's productions are
Expected with absolute confidence from
season to season so uniform has been
the merit Of the attraction with which
/ ha has been Identified. lie nas re-
cited the blank verse which goes with
the Roman Tiger and has on some
! brief occasions made his appearance
/ in modern attire, and even in such a
wide range Of ehsl acters mas pleased
his audiences TO an extent that mad, a
return enga cement at as early a date
as could be effected, matter uf
course. Mr.. Hanford will appear at
the Grand Opera House on Monday.
October 3, i'm an elaborate production
OF Don Caesar De Bazan.
In casting a melodrama much skill
lis required, for many actors are pro-
verbally weak in this branch Of WORK
and still others are peculiarly adept in
it, Manager George II. Brennan is
said to have gathered together COM
pany Of favorite players for Two lit
tie Sailor Boys" which will appear
lat the Grand Opera House next Tues
day afternoon and night after a long
land prosperous engagement in New
York City. He has completed ar
lr9ngements for the performances here
with the identical New York produc-
tion. The company has been care
fully rehearsed and from long associa-
ton the members Of it are enabled to
carry their parts smoothly and effec-
lively.
There can be no question as to Mis-.
Annie Abbott being the chief feature
of the program at the Garrick this
week, for yesterdays performances
B made that evident in more ways thar
; one. THE Georgia Magnet" as she IL
often called, appeared in a performanc,
that is intensely interesting and abou
as puzzling and mysterious as anythinl
, we'll can be. Miss Abbott performed
several feats. She has a small bo,
stand up from the audience and by hel
peculiar power made It impossible for 3
strong man TO bulge him a fraction o
an inch. She placed her finger tip
against the wall and a dozen men fail
ed TO move her; these and several othe
feats she performed with apparent easl
to the amazement Of her audience. He
power may be psychic, magnetic, o
electric, but whatever it is. and shl
herself claims not to know, her per
formance is more remarkable than tina
OF the peSt maelclans OF the age. Mis-
, Abbott is sure to attract much atten
tion during the week. Mr.. and Mrs
Harry Thorne and company in "An Up
, Town Flat" are much I'm evidence In tn
comedy element, and keep the hous
lin a royal good humor. The Magnn
, Family, billed as the musical BARRIERS
contribute an act OF real merit, an
, Miller & Kresc0. rag-tlme swells; Joh
J. Maloney. bag puncher; Marion an
Deane. ln singing and comedy, and tn
, Kinetograph. are on the BILL Last bu
not least by any means comes Amets
a spectacular dancer. who presents
. series OF mirror dances that have nc
: been equalled al the Garrick for man
months. Ameta is graceful and viva
cious and scored well at both perform
ances yesterday.
