MIR. Daniel Sully in a new play deal
ing with life ina little Idaho village,
will be the attraction at the Lyceum
next Thursday evening.
Our Pastor which is the title of
Mr.. Sully's latest production, is three
act comedy drama written expressly
for him by Jerrold Shepard In con-
struction, dramatic strength and gen.
uine heart interest, it is far ahead of
anything this popular actor has here
tofore presented, and it's delicious, rib
tickling comedy makes it by all ODDS
the most enjoyable play produced this
season.
The play is deliberately staged, carr
load of scenery being carried to present
it adequately.
The sale of seats will open on Mon
day for the engagement Of Mr.. Daniel
Sully in his latest success, Our
Pastor" at the Lyceum next Thursday
evening. This promises to be one of
the most important dramatic events of
the season, as Mr.. Sully is a strong
favorite here and his new play is said
to be the best he has ever produced.
The Show Girl which appears at
the Lyceum on Monday, is one of B. C.
Whitneys attractions, and this alone
is guarantee Of a first class enter
tainment for the patrons Of the Ly-
ceum. Mr.. Whitney is known through
out the theatrical field as being one
of the best producers of the day. At
the Majestic Theatre, New York City,
he has had another musical extra
vaganza entitled the isle of Spice"
which he has recently sent on the road,
after successful run Of $50 nights at
that theatre, where it did phenomenal
business and which has caused no end
of interest in the musical line, and
Mr.. Whitney has spared no amount Of
expense in making The Show Girl"
an attraction as equal as the Isle of
Spice in splendor and scenic beauty.
The company numbers sixty people,
with a carload of magnificent scenery
and electrical effects.

At THE METROPOLITAN.
Comments upon the scenic equip
ment of 1.-The Lighthouse by the Sea"
which comes to the Metropolitan
SAASoSAC Il GU 4OS 10, anu S0t1lu1ud
matinee, have been most enthusiastic,
and 1t would see mthat the acme Of
stage realism has been reached in the
marvellous electric storm which takes
place in the third act. The curtain
rises upon a scene of great beauty: the
full Autumn moon slowly lifting itself
from the shimmering waters of the
broad Atlantic as it lazily beats upon
the rocks of the lighthouse which tow
ers high in the air. Soft, fleecy clouds
float lazily by on a gentle breeze, which
gradually freshens, and the waters
grow restless as: thick, heavy clouds
gradually obscure the moon. The
heavy boom Of the surf as it rolls and
breaks upon the shore, is now mingling
with the bowling Of the wind, and lends
weirdness to the dastardly work Of the
villains who, after terrific fight with
Caleb Gale the blind lighthouse keeper,
beat him into insensibility, extinguish
the light, destroy the stairs and abduct
Flora his grand daughter. The steam
er which the villains hope to destroy,
Is now seen heading toward the jag
ged rocks at the mercy of the waves,
which rise mountain high and break
over her. Realizing the utter helpless
ness of the situation, Mfnty snatches
torch from the hands of a life saver,
dashes up the rocks, and as she steps
upon the clothes line leading to the
great light, the storm bursts forth in
all it's fury, and as this frail, slender
girl outlined against the angrq clouds
torn by broad and vivid flashes of
lightning, is seen moving toward the
light, her body swaying with the blasts
Of the tempest, the roar of heavens
artillery mingled with the screaming
wind and the boom Of the surf, the
audience is moved to a high pitch of
excitement, and as she crashes her
torch through the window of the great
light and it flashes forth a path of
safety for the steamer almost upon the
rocks, pent up enthusiasm is relieved
by a whirlwind Of applause.
It requires a. force of stage mechanics
twenty -four hours in which to set up
the great lighthouse used in 1.-THE
Lighthouse by the Sea-" 1t towers
twenty five feet in the air.
