MR. MALLORY WILL ACCEPT CON-
 MITTEE CHAIRMANsHIP.
Errorneous Idea Prevails That He Has Announced That He Wfll Not Again Head the Casnmittee---
 Opposiffon Improbable.
Advertiser Bureau.

Selma. Aug. s.
 There is an erroneous idea on the part of some that Hon. H. S. D. Mel~ lory will not accept a. reelection as Chairman Of the State Executive Com mittee, MT. Mallory has never express4 ed himself as being unwilling to again serve as Chairman of the Corn- mittee. Tn fact your correspondent feels authorized in saying that a re- election will be very gratifying to him.
 Some of his friends urged him to stand for Chairman of the coming State Convention. MT. Mallory said that he would not be an applicant for that position, 1t being his idea that the Chairman of the Executive Committee should not allow his name presented for Chairman of the State Convention. and believing further that such hohors should be distributed It Is probable that 1t was from this that some have gotten the idea that he would not con- sent to again act as Chairman of the Executive Committee. This idea Is in- correct.
 It is not probable that Mir Mallory will have opposition, but will be narn- ed by the Convention as Chairman of the Executive Committee.

The season Of fun and frolic in the
theatrical line is now at its height at
the Lyceum theater,l where. Ralph Stu
art and his excellent company are pre-.
senting fine series Of first class com
edies and farces. The week just closed
duction Of 1.-THE Brixton Burglary, an
English comedy Of exceptional merit.
The critics praised this superb acting
piece extravagantly, and commended
unreservedly the clever work, of, each
member of the company. In short, the
first comedy of the light amusement
ventures which are to hold the. boards
Of the Lyceum during Mr.. Stuart's sum
mer enga gement, went with dash that
packed the house to standing room on
Sunday night. ~.
For this week, Mr. Stuart announces
another high-class comedy, with the
same 5farcical bent, in ~. Pink Domi-
noes an American play which had
great vague few years ago. It con-
Germs the mischievous sport of some
ladies who sent invitations to their hus-
bands to attend ball. Of course the
stupid men never realized that the in
<vitations emanate from their wives,
and SO go to the ball looking for a~lady

his search, complications. follow. The
play is of high quality, being carefully
written and polished in every line and
represents some of the best dialeg ever
written for an American comedy. Mr..
Stuart thinks highly of it and says that
the English of 'fPink Dominoes' alone
should preserve it and keep it sweet
for future generations. !
All of the Lyceum IS favorites will be
in the big cast this week, and much is
expected Of Mr.. Stuart's revival. of
this famous old piece. Tt will be hand
somely staged, and as the "play g con-
voction,'' admits of brilliant costum
ing, some pretty gowns will be worn.
All in all, uPink Dominoes,' will af-
ford an evening Of unalloyed pleasure
to playgoers in search of a genu-
inely funny play.
In speaking Of the extraordinary sue

DEWEY
sThe Merryrnakers. "

All that is novel and up-to- date in the
way of fun making devices is contained
in the Merrymakers, z an aggregation
Of burlesquers at the Dewey theater
this week. This organization is one Of
the bestSof it's kind on the boards to-
day. The members Of this Woorthy
troupe Of mirth producers are artists
and are paid salaries in accordance with
their talent. Two burlesques and
vaudeville turns that are treats in them
selves, make up a capital bit of enter
tainment. The aim has been to amuse.
No pains nor expense has been spared
to gain this end and success thus far
has crowned the efforts of the manage
ment. The Merrymak ers is g show SO
different from the rest that it has sue
ceeded. Originality, no matter in what
branch of business, is sure to be re-
warded and there is certainly an abun-
dance of this rare product in the Merry
makers: The opening burlesque::

METROPOLITAN
Dockstader's Ministries.

Time was when New York had
perpetual minstrel show, Birch, VAN
bold & Backus. For many years this
merry trio presided over a theater
bearing their name, and in which the
majority of the old-time MINISTRIES were
seen and known to the metropolitan
lovers of fun. When these men passed
away minstrelsy became only an oc-
casional entertainment in the metrop-
oils and now there remains but one
metropolitan minstrel who occupies,
for several weeks each season, theater
on Broadway. Lew Dockstader is now
the one blackface comedian who com
.mands the patronage of the metropolis.
In January this year the great New
York theater, which has almost the
largest, seating capacity of any theater
in the city, was found to be too small
to accommodate the throngs that
wanted to see him. Every effort was
made by the, managers Of the theater
to. secure release from contracts with
other combinations which had time
engaged in the theater, in order that
Dockstader's run might be extended
indefinitely, but. the efforts were not
successful and he was obliged again to
take to the road. It is believed next
year that he will, possibly remain in
the metropolis the entire season.
InofP IS d GOdSOuss Luz tu1S. DOCh-
stader is inherently a genuinely funny
. man. He does not depend upon the
slapstick OF funny falls for his fun
but upon his brain. He is naturally
both humorous and witty, and while
other .blackface comedians depend upor
the parrot-like repetition of stories anC
gags and songs written for them, by
others to produce fun, Dockstader i:
the originator, the inventor, the write1
- of fI,<
funny feast he spreads before hi:
patrons. On his last stay in New Yorl
he was interviewed by the public press
on almost every topic Of general in
terest and his humorous and witty com
ments were quoted with great FIRE
quency. He will be here with his grrea
show at the Metropolitan for fou.
nights and Wednesday matinee, com
mencing tonight.
