The Lyceum.

The announcement that Miss Alice
Johnson, the new leading woman Of
the Frawley company. Will appear in
Barbara Frietchie,' the romantic
drama of this weeks bill at the Ly-
ceuln, is of unusual interest to Minne-
apolitans, and especially to those who
were charter patrons of the Hennepir
avenue theater when it opened in Sep
TENDER, and who have from week to
week given their support and appre-
citation to the excellent productions.
In securing this distinguished New
York actress, Mr.. Frawley emphasizes
his determination to give to his patrons
the best available talent as well as the
best class of plays.
With Miss Johnson cast as Barbara,
Mr. Frawley as Captain Trumbull, and
the other favorites of the company
happily bestowed, a convincing rendi-
ton of the stirring play is expected.
Miss Adele Knott, who was to have
appeared in "out of the Fold" was
delayed in reaching the city, bu she
will make her local debut this week as
Laura Royce. At the suggestion of
patrons another reception will be held
on the stage at the close of the Thurs

company. A general invitation, as be-
fore, is extended. Ladies' night will be
observed Monday, and a souvenir pic
ture of Miss Christine Hill will be Ere
scented to all holders Of reserved seats

more time to the preparation Of the
massive productions that will pe staged
during Miss Johnson's engagement, the
management has decided to omit tho
Tuesday matinee. A benefit will be
given on Tuesday evening for the
