Sousa's "The Free Lance"

George Schiller, Stanley Murphy, Mcnte Elmo and other singers and comed- ians of like prominence. '"The Free Lance" is described as being a genuine comic opera, which Messrs.

F'ritzi Scheff in Mile Modste," under the management of Charles Dillingham;, will be the attraction at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow night.

The mem bers of Miss Scheff's company have also every opportunity, 1t is stated, to shine in their different ways and all the artists who made hits with her when the piece was first produced last season are, 1t is said, still in her support.
