four-act romantic drama by Mrs. @. A.

titled "The Fortunes of the King.'
Mr.. Hackett appears as Charles Stuart,
who afterwards became King Charles
II Of England, a character in which
the actors well known qualities and
abilities will be doubtless revealed to
the best advantage. The action takes
place in 1861, shortly after the battle
Of Worcester, when Charles became
enamoured Of the charming Jane Lane.

the orient, either assisting his father

equaled Carl Hermann s fame in Eu-

faculties roam when, in collaboration

time the widow of a former Shotgun

The widow has never seen her husband,

intervenes. This opens up other ave-

that he eventually turns the kingdom
upside down and is himself chosen Sho-
