tion at the Theatre Republic now the
beiasco Iheattel in New York CITY,
the play has drawn large ana delighted
audiences. Time seems only to in
crease it's popularity and each succeed

the Grand Opera House on SATURDAY.
aItetn oon and night, comes we'll recum-
mend. d and no doubt will he one of
the funniest shows to visit here this
season. Aside from the highly anus.
ing situations in the play and the
hilarious antics of Weary Jack Rag
giles the tramp, scenic effects have been
added with unstinted liberality ana
the mark Of painstnking drilling and
tne severest discipline are apparent 10

participant in the performance.
Side Tracked, - with its scenic ans
mechanical effects. its funny tramp,
GeIman and Irish comedians, its saucy
hoyden and charming lovers, will be
the attraction at the Grand Opera
House on Tuesday afternoon and night.
There is vim and 60 about the play
that captures the gallery as we'll as
the elite OF the audience. The special
scenery iH effective and several strong
specialties assist materially in the
action CT the play.
Lively farce will rule the stage of
the Grand Opera House on Monday
night, when William Collier, clever,
tunny and essentially American, is to
play an engagement there in "On the
quiet, comedy by Augustus
Thomas. Mr.. Collier visits for the
nrst time since his London successes,
with a prestige gained by few Of our
native players. He has just returned
from a visit Of four months in London,
where his performances of 1.-THE Die
tator, and "On the Quiet" set the
English metropolis by the ears and
earned the patronage CT the royal fam
ily. Mr.. Collier's acting as Robert
RidRway, the calm and ready witted
young man who wins a Sl6, COO, COO
wife againat great odds, is as clever
as ever IN his repartee, as rich in bis
strategic resources and as cheerful and
alert in his imperturbability.
This is Dustin FaFnum's third
season In that graphic study of the
plains, "The VirRinian. During all
this time, and although the organiza-
tion has covered thousands of miles,
the cast has suffered little change.
Practically all the original members
have been retained by The Kirke La
Shelle company, and will be- seen here
when The Virginian" comes to the
Grand Opera HOUSE.

vizier and other ministers who were
in the country have hastily returned

of the authorities are taking place. but
the situation remains very strained
