Lew Dockstader believes that he has
accomplished the ambition of his life this
season in building up minstrel entertain
ment that for completeness, beauty of
scenic environment and perfection of
every detail that makes up a great min
strel entertainment has never been equal
led. This is no small task in the field of
amusement. Managers in other lines get
new plays, new operas, but the basis of
the minstrel entertainment is always the
same and demands the most extraordinary
Ingenuity to give new originality and
variety to old established form. From be-
ginning to end the Dockstader Minstrel
Company will present a programme at
the Grand Opera House, Philadelphia.

Henrietta Crossman as Peggy O'Mara
in Ernest Denny's comedy ''All-of a.
at the Bijou, New York, has made another
New York hit, and added once more to
the list of Broadway successes. There is
no question about the success that Miss
Crosman has achieved. She is always de-
lightful and now in this clever and merry
farce is proving anew that she is the fore
most coincidence in this country. Peggy
O'Mara is Irish, and possesses the wit and
impulsiveness and impetuosity of the race.
The charm with which Miss Crossman
portrays characters of this type is known
to all who saw her in Mistress Nell" and
Sweet Kitty Bellairs" Peggy is surely
one of her most fascinating stage creations.
She and her excellent company in this
farce furnish the sort of entertainment
everybody enjoys. The play itself is
bright and filled with humor. 1t is of the
kind that make people laugh, and Miss
Crosman and her clever associates bring
out all the merriment of the comical
situations. ''All-of-a a Sudden Peggy" can
be recommended to all who run to New
York for matinees at the Bijou, and there
will be special matinee on Washington's
birthday. Miss Crosman is displaying
Wednesday matinees because she will be
at the Bijou only four weeks in all-three
weeks longer-and the midweek afternoon
performances are given to satisfy public
demand. There will be all too few as it
is. 1t should be understood that at the
close of her New York engagement she
will go to the Pacific coast and will not
play in this vicinity, so the New York en-
gagement offers the only chance to see her.
