HOOligaR In New York.

Mr.. Tas. L. McCabe, who if
one half the good things said
about him may be believed is a
comedian of unusual ability. will
make his first appearance in Great
Bend Kansas at Wilmer opera
house Dec. IS. At the head of
the company producing "Hooligan
in New York; Mr.. Wheeler was
a for number. of years promi-
nent in the farce comedies produced
by the late Charles H. Hoyt. He
was in the original cast of "A
Milk White Flag "A Black
Sheep" and "A Stranger in New
York" He was with Weber and
Fields when their company in
cluded scuh famous artists as De
Wolf Hopper Willie Collier,
Lillian Russell and Fay Templeton.
Last season he cl leated the role of
Hooligan at the American Theatre
New York where the play had a
run of lis nights. Mr.. Wheeler is
peculiarly adapted to the part,
which requires not only an unctu-
Gus comedian but an actor who has
the training and ability to enact
heroic roles as we'll. The fact that
he has scored the greatest success
of his career in 'Hooligan in New
York" would indicate that the
production is one worthy of atten-
tion.
