Coming Events.
1.-THE Heir to the Hoorah." announced
as an American comedy, by Paul Arm
strong, will have it's first production here
at the Boyd theater this evening. It will
remain four nights and a matinee Wednes-
day. The title, which has a bit Of mystery
for the uninitiated, is explained IN the fact
that the ''Hoorah" is an immensely rich
gold mine and the Heir" a male infant.
Around the infant, husband, a wife, a
mother-in-law, a japanese valet, some
miners, a cowpuncher, a widow and a
maiden aunt Mr.. Armstrong is said to have
woven a very merry story. Joseph Lacy,
a rough diamond Of a man and part owner
of the Hoorah mine, has Just married an
eastern society girl, Geraldine Kent. The
marriage is one Of convenience and has
been arranged by a scheming mother-in-
law. who has exacted a wedding settlement
of 10000. This kindly disposed dame, by
her continual criticisms Of the miners
crudities of speech and manner, and by
her attempted intrigue between her daugh-
ter and a former eastern sweetheart, has
succeeded in separating the man and the
girl So Joe leaves the new palace in the
little mining town in charge of his wife
and his mother-in-law and starts Off to
Europe. He returns to hear some stories
Of his wife and the old sweetheart, which,
to his credit, he does not believe But while
the man and the wife are still at odds a
baby is born, which is toasted by the miners
as the heir to the Hoorah. OF course the
baby brings about a reconciliation on its
christening day, when the friends of his
father present It with a cradle, one piece
carved from the trunk Of a redwood tree
by the hands that need not have toiled.
The scene of the christening brings a
couple Of other little romances to a happy
issue also. Guy Bates Post, remembered
best as Steve in THE virginian," creates
the leading role, Joe Lacy. The cast in
cludes Jane Peyton, Ernest Lamson, Louise
Rutter, Colin Campbell, Ben 8. Higgins
