MT. James Here Saturday.

That splendid actor, Lotus James, will be the attraction at the Mont gomery Theatre next Saturday mati- nee and night and will present two of his greatest characterizauons, "Ingo- mar" at the matinee and "Virg1nius" at night.
 For years Mir. Jamss-has been con sidered the greatest 'Tngomar" living. Possessing as he does magnificent physique, resonant voice and breadth of artistic temperament, he not only looks the ideal Barbarian, but his years of valiant service under the banner of art has mellowedy his delineation until now 1t stands without a parallel in dramatic annals.
 Every school boy has read, and every school girl has been told of the self sacrifice of 'Virginius' tne Roman Fa- ther, who to save his daughter from dishonor slew her, and many have been the tears shed in sympathy for the youthful Icilius, her sweetheart. who was thus deprived of his bride by the internal machinations of AppLis Claud- ius, the tyrannical Decemv1r. Who ruth lessly conspired the infamous deed that actuated the tragedy of Virginius, and while centuries have lapsed since that fateful day, yet, thanks to the constructive genius of Sheridan Knowles, the story is perpetuated iu the drama, and as long as Louis James

away Down East" Again.

'sWay Down East" which is to be presented at the Montgomery Theatre Tuesday night, has come to be regarded as a classic among the wholesome and picturesque plays which depict rural life in New England. It will be pre- sented even upon more elaborate scale than last season when it tested the capacity of all the theatres in which it appeared.
 There is in this delft combining of hu- mor and pathos with incisive dramatic incident a tremendous amount of hu- man interest. The passions and emo tions which sway these simple people of the New Hampshire farm are the same as has governed all people of all ages since the world began. Human nature is pretty much alike regardless of environment, and there are heart tragedies among the peaceful granite hills as stirring as those of the bril- liant city boulevard.
 The play has become so well known through successive performances that any reference to it's character seems almost superiuous. In the parlance of theatrical folk, it is the best repeater of any play of modern times, It goes to the same cities year after year. and the business 1t does seems to Increase with every succeeding engagement. The play has made several fortunes for Wm. A. Brady and Joseph R. Grismer. and the end is not yet It Is the sort of play that appeals to all classes of theatre-goers. City bred folk enjoy the characters and pictures they have known in other years; the rural folk are pleased with having their own peo- pie set before them in a mimic world, while those who frequent the gallery find just enough of the melodramatic in the play to appeal to their heroic natures.

 Phenomenal progress has been made in all branches of science and indus try during these twenty years but the evolution in minstrelsy has kept apace with the most progressive and the min- streI show of twenty years ago. com pared te the show of today would be sorry spectacle. In those days a minstrel show consisted of the singing of negro songs and the imitation and burlesquing of the dances and man nerisms of the negro but the minstrel show of the twentieth century goes far beyond that. A grand parade head ed by a military band Is almost as essential as the burnt cork and be- sides the negro melodres there must be the latest popular songs of the day sung by the sweetest singers to be pro- cured, a half dozen vaudeville acts, electrical and scenic effects which rep- resent the ingenuity of the most skilled stage mechanics and electric ians. a company of more than sixty talented performers and half score of men to conduct the business end of the performance.
