 { The company that will be seen here is the best that ever sang this opera :. The story of 'woodland" deals with the birds of the forest. and not sim gle specimen of the genus homo ob- trudes his presence into the company of feathered songsters. The spirit of the piece Is one of dainty joyousness. and the play, both musicaliy and seen fcal1y, is characterized by distinctly novel effects. The cast provided by Mr. Savage for the interpretation of this most quaint musical conceit is a strong one and includes such well known players as George Leslie, who has the principal comedy role, that of a bibulous and bogus Tyre Bird with a fondness for branded cherries. and penchant for stealing thrones. Associated with him are dainty little ence Rother. Ethyle Cooke, Constance Farmer, Harry Benham. Dwight Allen, H. A. Barrows, and score or more of young women who will be seen in the choruses and who, as they are all sup- posed to represent some feathered deni- zen of the forest. were selected be- cause of their daintiness, beauty and superb singing voices.
 The company carries its own orches- tra and travels in special train, which means that woodland" will be presented here with the same fidelity to detail and beauty of production which has marked its presentation in all the principal cities

Susan in Search of Husband" by Eugene W. Presbrey, and VIII pc supported by peculiarly ex- cetlent cast of players. Miss Irving herself was especially engaged to sup- port Miss Robson in this present ve- hicle. which achieved an undeniable success at the Liberty Theatre.
 It is doubtful if a better company in better play ever visited the South. for the cast includes such excellent players as Harry HiiIiard. Alan Pol lock. Darrell Standing. Miss Willett Kershaw. Miss Helen weathersby, Miss Emily Wakeman and E. w. Lyons. all firmly established in New York as ar- lists of more than ordinary ability Liebler and Company have never vet sent an inadequate company. or an un- successful play in this direction, and from all accounts they have outdone themselves in the present instance, for the reports of Susan in Search of A Husband" stamu 1t as one of the most artistic. delicate. charming little come | dies that has yet been given to the American public. and one which is re- | plete with a wealth of sentiment and first class comedy situations.
