,e.san Toy,, AIonday Nlght.

San Toy" the Chinese musical comedy which ran for two full years in London and a year in New York, will be seen here Monday night at the Montgomery Theatre with John c. Fishers big company to interpret it, and with James T. Powers in the cast.
 Mir. Powers will play the part he created in the piece when R was orig inally produced at Daly's Theatre, New York, that of 'Li,' a willy Chinaman with a weakness for appropriating articles belonging to others.
 The other principals in the cast are Margaret Mckinney. George K. Fortes- cue, John Peachey, Florence M. Smith, Charles Arling. Joseph Newman, Nagle Barry and Frew W. Huntley.
 Mr. Fsher vii lofeer a large chorus. a special orchestra and a profusion of costly equipment which will make the production one of the most elabo- rate that has graced the local stage.
 San Toy'' has proved itself a de- lightful piece in point Of story as well as muse and presents such gorgeous Oriental scenes 1t is sure to succeed here on its merits, without taking into consideration the added attention it will attract by reason of the great cast,
 The collaborators of San Toy" rep recent a numerous gathering of talent, the book having been written by Ed ward Morton. the music by Sidney Jones, lyrics by Harry Greenbank and Adrian Ross, with additional numbers by Lionel Moncton. In this quintette are disclosed the gentlemen who have been responsible for a great many of the biggest successes in musical comedy and extravaganza, and 1t is quite gem erally understood that they never did any better work than in San Toy"
 San Toy" is in two acts, the first showing a corner of Pynka Pong a Chinese city, and the second a hall in the palace of the Emperor at Pekin. The story tells how a Mandarin, Yen the Emperor at Pekin raises her as a boy and gets along very nicely with the deception until the girl falls in love with an English soldier. The courtship has almost reached the elop- ing stage when the Emperor learns that he had been deceived and orders Yen How to bring the daughter to Pekin. The entire company is thus transported to the forbidden city, where San Toy dons dresses, becomes a great favoTite with the Emperor. who finally revokes the order he had given to have Yen How beheaded and sanctions the marriage of San Toy and the English soldier.
 Of course it takes time to bring about these highly agreeable results, but while they are being accomplished there isn't a moment that the widest stretch of a strenuous imagination could call dull There is something all the time. fun of the good healthy kind in plenty. and dur ing the two acts no less than twenty six muscal numbers which might very be called gems.
 MT. Fisher has spared nothing to make san Toy" perfect in every ap- pointment. The names of the principals in the company testify to their prom. thence in musical comedy, the chorus is superb and the mounting was pre- pared in accord with Mir. Fishers ex- pensive, but artistic ideas of staging plays.

BTJOU THEATRE. Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday nights and wednesday matinee--NThe Flaming Arrow"
 Thursday, Friday and Saturday nights and Saturday matinee-Alpert Taylor Stock Company in repertOifes
 Good shows" have crowded the Southern circuit until the pockethooks of some of our people are fraszled, and still they come.
 Enterprising managers have awak- ened to the realisation that the South ern people arc oxacting in their de- mands and will pay for what is good. This leaves little room for mediocre performances to do business and the re- suit is that no season has been so filled with the best of stage entertainments.
 Last week was fiat one" at the playhouses and this week will bring us some more of the best things that are to be had in the theatrical line.
 san Toy" The Millionaire" and wizard of oz." which are announced at the Montgomery Theatre, are three of the great successes. ''The Flaming Arrow" and Albert Tayior's Stock Com pany, which will take up the week at the Bijou ought to prove inviting to the patrons of that cosy little house.
 San Toy" with Jimmy Powers, Mar garet Mckinney and other actors well known in high class musical comedy Is the first offering of the week at the Perry Street house. Its Chinese flavor gives opportunity for brilliant costum- ing and scenic splendor and 1t will no doubt be a notable entertainment We may look to see one of the finest performances of the year when MT. Seabrooke and his excellent company presents '"rhe Billionaire." This is the piece in which poor Jerome Sykes was appearing when death overlook him. Mir. Seabrooke is one of the funniest comedians on the American stage and 1t is advertised that he is surrounded with his ability. The company includes Diamond Bonner and othe rpeople of well known standing.
 It is in this musical comedy that the great scene, "a theatre within a thea | tre" is shown. It was one of the great est novelties the East ever saw. "The Wizard of oz' has been tried on Montgomery, and our verdict was pleasing to those who presented it last year. It is a distinct novelty. combin- ing musical comedy. spectacular and drama.
 "The Flaming Arrow is billed as a I cIudes a number of real Indians and an Indian brass band. The play was writ ten by Lincoln Carter who has given the stage some of the best of melodra. matic art. The return of Albert Taylor will be welcomed by the people among whom he was reared. It Is pleasing to know that he will begin his engagement here with a production of Peaceful Valley In this fine comedy Mir. Taylor and his company are seen at their best. | Manager Neal of the Bijou said yes. terday that hereafter. as a matter of accommodation to his patrons, seats for matinees at the Bibb Street house would be reserved for the first floor and that each seat would be sold al the uniform price of 20 cents. whether 1t was to be occupied by a child or ar adult person. The seats upstairs will be sold as usual

4srhe wizard of Os" Friday.

The Montgomery Theatre is evident lv in for a record-bPeaking engage. ment with the wizard of OE," which is to be seen at that house next Frts day night.
 The enormous business that this ate traction is doing this season is really phenomenal and probably no other per formance could quite succeed in draw" ing so universally well. The WYE. ard" possesses so mahy elements or success that it is little to be won dered at that it has become so attrac- tive and so popular with American theatreKoers. Music, comedy and ex. travaganza are so adroitly intsrmixed that the result Is an entertainment that is pleasing to all classes.
 Frank Baum's book of fairy stories lends itself admirably to the purposes of extravaganza. and in ''The Wizard" every advantage has been taken of the opportunities to provide a per- formance that can be scarcely de- scribed otherwise than as extraordi- nary.
 There are several scenic effects in 'The Wizard" that would make 1t talked about" if there was nothing more. One of these Is the cyclone which comes at the very beginning of the play. And, by the way, 1t be- hooves all to be in the theatre early, as the performance begins at o'clock and the cyclone comes within five min utes after the rise of the curtain. The cyclone Is most realistically managed by the aid of electricity and Is one of the most startling scenes ever put on the stage. Next to this comes the scene showing the field of peoples, the flowers being represented by human figures. A snowstorm comes up, the flowers are blighted, and the tropical scene is gradually changed into one of winter.
 No mention of the wizard of Oz'' would be complete without dwelling on the performances of the Tin Wood man and the Scarecrow. These are two creations that are absolutely new to the stage and they have undoubted- Iy done much towards the success of ''The wizard" in fact they form the very backbone of the entertainment
 The company is a large one and the chorus. 1t Is said, is made up of the prettiest girls that will be seen in this city for long time, and when 1t is stated that they have been trained by Julian Mitchell no further proof of their excellent work will be necessary.
