A Jewish company, composed partly
of professional actors but mainly of To-
cal amateurs, will present play in
Yiddish at the Metropolitan Sunday
evening.
Over two months of earnest effort
and conscientious, unremitting work by
the members Of the Roosevelt club have
it viii be seen in Saltwater tonight
and at the Metropolitan in Minneapolis
Monday, Tuesday and "Wednesday
nights and Wednesday afternoon Of
next week. Actors, aactresses. au-
thors and managers have finished their
labors and they are now rather ner-
vously awaiting the reception to be
given their creation.
The Roosevelters have set SO high a
standard by their past operate produc-
a Herculean task, but the opinion of
hearsals of the. "Ranee Of Oudh' is
that this task has been accomplished
and that the 1905 product ion will ex-
Gel in all departments the efforts Of
former years.
The play. written by Cyrus Brown,
unusual dramatic situations. The mu-
sic, by Claude Madden, is new, tuneful
and Catchy and the lyrics, written
by the author of the play and by J. w.
Geary and Francis Boardman, should
be most favorably received. The set
ting and the costumes are the most
elaborate and complete Of anything
heretofore put on by the Roosevelt
club and the whole production has been
worked over until it goes with a
smoothness and spirit that will do cred

deeply interested in the coming per

advance sale of seats insures a good
attendance, altho there are enough good
