Strength of the Weak'-Gennett.l
Miss Florence Roberts who is TO be
| seen at the Gennett next tuesday, in
| her latest success, The Strength of
| the Weak was for number of years
one of the most successful stock stars
of the Pacific coast and later under
the direction of her present manage
ment presented in that section all of
the success of the eastern cities with
a splendid cast. 1t was while essaying
such roles as Tess of the D'Urber-
viIles, Madge. Martha of the Low
lands, that she was approached to con
slider proposition to appear on
Broadway, and when the authors of
the possibilities and Mr. Cort arrang-
ed her metropolitan debut. With that
success she was received may better
be CLEANED from the fact that the
piece ran for $50 nights at the Lib
erty theatre and only left that house
with the coming Of the hot months.
She will bring on the occasion of her
first visit the original cast and pro-
duction used during the initial run.
BABES in TcyIand"-Gennett.
Babes in Toyland," as produced by
Hamlin and Mitchell, is the most dain-
ty and artistic production of extrav
aganza ever seen on the American
stage. Many years ago Kiralfy Broth
ers were famous for their extravagan-
"a productions, and at later date
the Chicago Opera House productions
of extravaganza were deemed to have
reached the highest limit but these
pail in comparison to the productions
now being made by Hamlin and Mitch
ell in every essential way. More than
that, they have set a new pace for
this line of production the world ov-
err. Every detail in Babes in Toy |
land has been thought out with the
utmost care, from the creepy ship |
wreck scene in the prologue to the |
gorgeous volcano in the last act. The
employed in the production for the |
ensuing season embraces players of |
merit who are thoroughly capable |
of doing ample justice to Glen Mac |
unusually clever book |
The production in it's entirety will |
be given at the Gennett Friday night |
October 10Th.
THE Love Route"-Gennett.
In the great track laying scene in |
the comedy-drama of THE Love
Route" there is introduced one of the
most colossal props ever used in
any stage production on the road. 1t
is a locomotive, twelve feet high and
some twenty feet in length. 1t is main
y constructed out of sheet iron with
a practical bell and whistle of the us
ual type. The driving wheels are sol
idly made out of wood and altogether
the majestic toy presents a startling
effect. 1t is so large and bulky that
1t causes no little comment on the
road at railway stations and among
the transfer agents. 1t is certainly an
advance on the locomotive employed
in the famous old play by Augustine
DAILY called Under the GaSlight.
The Love Route will be presented
at the Gennett Theatre next Wednes-
day evening.
