Coming Events.
The day has long since past when a the
atrical company consisting Of two or three
competent actors and a majority of in
competent sticks can go on tour and meet
with success. Realizing the Importance of
this fact, George II. Brennan, manager of
the Southern Amusement company. has
taken unusual pains in selecting a COM
pany to present THE Clansman" Thomas
Dixon, jr's remarkable play of the south.
Most OF the months during the summer
was spent in interviewing applicants as
we'll as in sending for and looking into the
qualifications of hundreds of actors After
most careful consideration the cast was
completed When rehearsals began it was
found necessary to make several changes
although all Of the actors originally Sc
lected were Of the highest quality. 1t was
found that those better suited to the roles
could be secured, and the changes were
made. For some of the parts It was neces-
sary to rehearse several people before the
required perfection was found. The com
pany as finally completed consists of the
following we'll known and competent actors:
Mabel Brownell, Franklin Richie, William
H. Tooker, Maude Durand, Theodore Kehr-
valid, Charles Aveling, John B. Cooke,
Claire Mcdowell, Violet Mersereau. Charles

remarkably picturesque. The whole pro-
