AT St. Paul Theaters

The presentation of David Garrick's 8
Love" at the Metropolitan this even
ing by Walker Whiteside and COM
pany is looked forward to with pleas
ant anticipation Over thirty years ago
the elder Sothern first produced in this
country comedy called "DavfdGar-
rick. Theatergoers of that day will
recall the immense success that won
derfully popular actor gained in the
title role. Charles Wyndham, Eng
lands foremost actor of high comedy,
has revived the same play in New York
city. It was while in London the past
summer that Mr.. Whiteside secured his
present dramatic version. 1t is said
to be an entirely new treat tment OF the
German dramatization founded on an
incident in Garrick's life. and Is al
most totally different from the older
version used by Wyndham and the eld-
er Sothern.
Eva Tanguay. in her musical extrav
aganza, entitled 1.-The Sambo Girl" Is
coming this way. Miss Tanguay will
be pleasantly recalled as a particular
feature with "The Chaperons." She is
perhaps one of the cleverest singing
and dancing conediennes on the Amer
lean stage today. Miss Tanguay's sup
porting company is said to be a large
one. Miss Tanguay and "The Sambo
GirP' will begin four nights engage
ment at the Metropolitan next Sunday
The revival of the great success of
thirty years ago, "The Two Orphans"
which was first produced at the Union
square theater, New York, Dec. 81, 1874.
will be presented at the Metropolitan
opera house on Dec. s, and 10,
with one of the greatest casts ever
mr. f.ad ~, I fcso
posed of actors and actresses who are
Or who have been stars. Prominent
among them are: Louis James, James
O'Neill, j. E. DodSon, jameson Lee
Flnney and William Beach; Clara Nor
ris, Mrs. LIE Moyne, Grace George,
Elita Proctor Otis, Sarah Truax and
Bijou Fernandez. The drama is one of
the most powerful plays ever presented
on the American stage, and with but
few exceptions has been more continu-
ouSly and successfully played than any
other outside the classic drama For
tunes have been made from it. The
original production of "The Two Or
phans" at the Union Square theater,
New York, was a wonder in it's day, Mr..
Palmer giving it cast which has since
been quoted in American stage history
as a remarkable one. Scientifically, the
revival will be the same as the original
PtoduCliOI, anu painted from the same
models by Richard Mafston. The cos
tuning will be exactly the same.
There is an abundance Of comedy in
Welded but No Wife" at the Grand
this week and laughter cflases tears
throughout the performance. The play
contains a pretty love story and the
piece Is excellently staged. There will
be but four more performances, incIud-
ing matinee Saturday at 2:30.
The sunshine Of cheerful rustic life,
said to brighten the greater part of the
opening act in Howard Halls new play,
The Waits Paradise" is quickly OBJ
seured by melodramatic clouds of do
mestic suffering. The action never
drags and the contrast in characters and
scenes. morals and manners are such as
stimulate interest in the development
of the story.
The Crackerjacks company at the
Star is giving an excellent vaudeville
and buriesque entertainment The
usual ladies' matinee will be given to-
morrow.
