Theatrical Notes

"The Creation Of a Woman from |
as presented at the Garrick
this week, is a clever bit Of mystery
which is likely to puzzle even the
most knowing ones among the theatre
goers who delight In performances Of
this nature. The glass tank and the
filling of il with water and then the
immediate production Of a woman In
the tank is puzzling, but when it Is
done a second time and a second
"Dida" appears just to show how the
act is done il is more puzzling than
ever It is one Of the cleverest illus
ions that has yet been offered at a
local playhouse.
The return Of Henry V. Donnelly to
the stage-he comes 20 the Grand
Opera House next Friday and Saturday
nights. I'm the "Serio-Comic Governess'
after i've years as manager I'm New
York City. will be welcome news to the
theatre -goers Of this country. Mr..
Donnelly Is unquestlonably one OF the
funniest and most versatile comedians
on the American stage and probably
uo'ono man ever Afforded more amuse-
ment than he when. with Girard, he
toured the country with Natural Gas
and late in ''rhe Rainmakers." His
erness' this season was a clever bit
Of mama cement on the part Of Frank
Howe. Jr, and the public IS TO receive
the benefit. When Mr.. Donnelly retired
from the stage. ne leased the Murray
Hill Theatre in New York. and for
a..r In ha 4saIA tf
manager before the front OF the house
When Manager Howe secured the
"Serio-Comic Governess." he looked
over the available comedians Of tbs
lcountry TO decide upon the one who
would appeal more strongly 10 thu
public and finally decided TO offer tn
part to Mr Donnelly.

From an accounts j. C. Stewards
musical farce "The Two Johns" whicl
comes to the Lyceum Theatre tonight
is stin the favorite that Il was for 81
lmany years Crowded houses havl
been greeting this wonderful farce
everywhere. and it win undoubtedly
meet the same fate here. for there havl
been quite few inquiries in regard {
its coming. The Tat men who play tn
two Johns are al Rice and Dan Ander
son, and not alone do they weigh 40
pounds each, but they are comedian
that can sing and dance and are reall!
funny. The ladies' OF the company ar
said to be unusually pretty and tn
costumes worn by them are creation
of art. All in all ''The Two Johns
