When Miss Maude Adams took up '"rhe
Little Minister" about year ago, it
proved most pleasing to her thousands of
friends and admirers and it seems as
though Mr.. Barrie's sweet little Scotch
story with the charm of "A Scotch ballad,
grows in public favor with every presen-
tation and that Miss Adams makes
'more bewitching Babbie with each sue
ceeding engagement. She will be here for
a single engagement at the Opera House
on Monday night and will appear in two
plays. The other is "'Op o. Me Thumb"
a ono-act drama reputed to possess great
force and power. The new Offering pre-
sents Miss Adams in a character quite
unlike any in which she has previously
appeared. The company includes Eugene
Japson, George Irving Joseph Fran
coour, Charles d. Pitt, Lloyd Carleton,
William Henderson, Wallace Jackson,
Charles Walcot. Thomas c. Valentine,
Mrs. W. c. Jones. Miss Margaret Cor
don, Miss May Galyer Miss Anita Roth
and Miss Violet Rand. The performance
will begin exactly at eight o'clock.
James X. Hackett. who comes with
his company to the Opera House on
next Thursday night will present a
new romantic drama in four acts by
Mrs c. A. Doremus and Leonidas Wes-
tervelt, entitled THE Fortunes of the
King" He will, in this play. be seen
as Charles Stuart. who afterwards be-
came Charles II of England a character
In which the actors well known quail
ties and abilities will be doubtless re-
vealed to the best advantage. The ac-
tion Of the play takes place in the year
1851 shortly after the battle of Wor-
cester when Charles met and became
ienamored of the charming Jane Lane.
The management of the Opera House
is to be congratulated for securing Al
Leech and the Three Rosebuds for a
lreturn engagement on next Saturday
afternoon and night. when they will
again present that bright snappy and
charming musical comedy William A.
Bradys Girls VIII be Girls" Never

The japanese athletes who are to
demonstrate Jiu Jitsu, the Japanese
art Of self defense, at the Garrick The
atre next week, offer what is undoubt-
edly one of the most interesting exhi-
bitions Of modern physical culture ever
shown on the stage of a theatre. Dur
ing the week any local athletes who
desire to try conclusions with the Jiu
Jitsu experts and may go upon the
stage at any performance for that mr.
pose. The japanese mode Of wrestling
is dangerous and IN the event that one
man gets injured in any way during
the demonstration there is always an
other to take his place. Athletes, ply
sicians and every man, woman and
child anxious TO secure a scientific
method Of muscular development will
be interested in the demonstration to
take place at the Garrick the coming
week.
