Lyceum-' 1.-THE Man from Mexico.''
H. A. DuSouchet g famous farce,
tfThe Man from Mexico,' with Dick
Ferris in the title role, will be the Of :
fsering. Of the Ferris stock company at
! "The Man from. Mexico" pro-
nounced by many critics the best Amer
lean farce ever written, and long
played by Willie Collier to crowded
and delighted houses, is the second and
greater production of the writer whose
first farce, "My Friend from India, -
made him famous.
H. A. DuSouchet was telegraph
OPERATOR hard-working and unknown,
holding down a key in little station
in Texas. He had Virtually no training
in playwriting, and when his first farce
took the country by storm, no one be-
lieved he could ever, write. anything
else. SO funny as "My Friend from
India''
"The Man from Mexico, appeared
in due time and soon proved not only
as good as his first effort, but better,
stronger and funnier. Since then it
has gained a recognized place in the
front rank.
In "The Man from Mexico'' Dick
Ferris finds apart peculiarly well suit
ed to himself, and he plays it in a style
| that carries his audience closely with
him. Its former week at the Lyceum
for this is it's second presentation by
the Ferris company-was one OF crowd
ed and enthusiastic houses. g..
The farce relates the ludicrous mis-
| haps of a man and his wife, who oo
trips in New. York. The entangle
ments, which finally involve every one
of the characters, begin with the ar
: rest of ''The Man" while intoxicated
island, which leads to the scene in the
warden s office at the island, a tri
umph of funny complications. The
wife, informed that her husband has
gone to Mexico, comes to Blackwell Is
island with a party of ladies from 9
flower mission and the efforts of the
perate Irritation started with the wife
by the warden, and the side play Of
the other convicts and absurd charac
tiers, combine to make scene one OF
the most laughable ever written. II
the>last act the husband returns from
prison; but to carry out the deception
: he arrives gaudily arrayed in Mexican
costume and relates imaginary adven
lures, interlarded with Spanish made
up as he talks.
.Carmenita Fitzhew, the wife, will b.
played by Grace Howard. The part il
a perfect foil for that of the husband
.. and the two lead cast Of unusua
strength.

Harry Clay Blaney's "Across the Pa
cifcv will be next weeks attraction at
the Bijou. The play is built around
incidents of the war in the Philippines,
and abounds in startling situations; in
fact, the author has crowded one scene
Of excitement upon another with won
derful cleverness, until the great block
house fight is depicted. A rapid-ire
gun is introduced to show how trivial
ordinary guns and revolvers are when
it comes to dealing out deadly missiles.
The roar and crash Of the firearms, and
the blind struggle of the little band
of Americans defending themselves
against overwhelming odds, affords a
stage representation seldom excelled.
The opening act is laid in Montana.
The second act takes place in China
town, San Francisco, and the third act
shows the departure for Manila Of big

is melodramatic, but it's mixture Of com
