ROSE CoGHLAN.

1.-THE Duke of sKlllicrankie," in
which Rose Coghlan appears at Polls
tomorrow afternoon and evening, is
comedy in three acts, the scenes being
laid in England and Scotland. 1t Is
said to be trimming over with excel
lent comedy and fine sentiment, and is
play that would appeal to all classes.
The story is simple, but original and
out of the ordinary. 1t tells Of q duke
who fell In love with a beautiful and
charming lady His love is not re-
ciprocated, however, and, getting des
perate, he abducts her and takes her
to his castle in Scotland. In the COM
pany of chaperone, Mrs Mulhol-
land, played by Rose Coghlan, the
young woman remains at the castle a
prisoner. Although beseiged by the
duke she refuses to become his wife.
Finally he relents and offers her free
dom. 1t is then that the fair prisoner
discovers that she is really in love with
him and decides to remain at the TO-
mantle old CASTLE AS Mrs Mulholland,
the widow Of a "glue. king Rose
Coghlan will no doubt be seen at her
best. Last season the play ran for
more than 200 consecutive nights at
Charles Frohman's new Empire the
alter, New York, and it visited few
cities outside the metropolis. The
piece was under the management of
Mr. Frohman and was staged at a cost
of something like $4,000. The original
production, as seen at the New York
Empire last season, will be seen here,
and it is expected that the magnificent
gowns worn by Miss Coghlan will ere
ate furore among the feminine con-
tingent of the audience. The scenery,
too, especially that in the second and
last acts, is said to be most elaborate
and SO massive that the services of
many extra stage hands are requires
to handle 1t. Prices are 25, 30, rs, 81
and $1.50; matinee %, 80, so, 70 and

THE NINETY AND NINE"

"The Ninety and Nine" rural conn.,
edy drama Of more than usual merit,
is slated for production Monday night
at Polls, and irrespective of the fact
that it has appeared here OH two pre-
vious occasions, the story of the piece,
which is by Ramsey Morris, is of inter-
est to the local play-goers. tits found
ed ON the title of Ira d. Sankey's fam
Gus hymn and depicts with true real
ism the struggles of lost sheep. The
hero of the play, Tom Singleton, who.
falsely accused, resorts to drink and
is lost to society and family by de-
bauchery, is rescued by a woman of
exalted character, actuated by the
most. sublime of all human motives,
love, and the trend of the story shows
the outcast wandering mid the bleak
hills of social ostracism, and his re-
demption and restoration to useful
citizen by the faithful woman whose
heart struggle holds forth story of
human interest Prices are %, 80, 80
and 70 cents. Sale of seats Saturday.
