MT Clarke is finished comedian and has done exceptionally fine work on the le- gitimate stage. He has had several acts in vaudeville but his present offering is said to be the best he has ever produced.

He will sing several new songs in his act and will be assisted by Foley Brothers the clever dancers and the Palmer sisters two charming soubrettes.

DANIEL RYAN.


 The well known repertoire actor, Daniel Ryan, and his excellent com pany opened a weeks engagement at Polls theater to-day, the first play being the Italian romance "The Hunchback and the Fool" This play is an adaptation of Francesca da Rimini," which has been played for many seasons by Otis Skinner with great success. MT Ryan is seen as the Hunchback and it is said to be one of his best portrayals. The attraction tomorrow afternoon will be "The Vagabond King" and the evening, "The Bells" This play is romantic piece after the fashion of "The Prisoner of Zenda," and has been one of the most successful pro- ductions in MT Ryan's repertoire. It is play that will appeal most effec- tually to the lovers of "The Prisoner of Zenda," and to readers of the An thony Hope, the Agnes and Edgerton Castle and the Marchmont heroes of later day fiction. The action of the piece takes place in a little state called Hamburg on the borders of the German empire. Prices matinee 15 and 25 cents, evenings IS, 25, 35 and 50 cents Seats now on sale.
