general opinion seems that the

WITH MANSFIELD
Was Manager Vernon and the
Experience Helped Him
to Success.

BENJAMIN. B. Vernon, manager of
the Vernon Stock Company. which
comes to the Grand opera house next
week, claims that his success In the
amusement world has largely been
due to the three years he was asso-
cfated on the business stan of the
late Richard Mansfield.
While Mr.. Vernon has played a
great many party, he has never con-
sidered himself an actor as his tall
ents have proved more successful d..
the managerial line. but it is anus
ing to hear him relate his expert
ences with the eccentric Mr.. Mans
Held, and he authoritatively states
that constant association with an ar
tistic man as Mr.. Mansfield watch
ing him in his careful and constant
study of parts would make any man
in commercial life an actor.

such a diyersiiied opinion.
The other play. Slaves Of opinm.y
Is Of sensational character and based
on the sale and the nse OF the drug
opium.
AS q production, Slaves OF Opt
UNI, Is most picturesque, as the
scenes are laid In Chinatown OF New
York CITY and the exteriors and in
teriors Of the different scenes have
given the artist opportunities for
beautiful stage pictures.
The street scene in Chinatown Is
most interesting, The gambling PAL
ace Of Flung Low, the rich chinaman,
Is beautiful, and the opium den, tho
last act Of the play. which Il the
acme of stage craft, Is most wonder
full and fascinating with It's dim
lights, scented atmosphere ana hrif-
liant surroundings.
The Vernon Stock Company carry
tw cars Of scenery properties, dra-
peries, decorations and furnishings to
give these productions complete
performance.

Mr.. Sousa, OF course we know
you are at the head of great band,
and we also know you are very fond
OF shooting. and l have come to make
a proposition to you. Our band here
in the mountains is going to give
concert next Monday night and our
big piece, the one we have been
working on for long while, is Buca-
lossi's Hunting. Scene. We can't
make the thing go. 1t seems to be
too much for US. But the boys want
to do it, and we want to ask you II
you won't come around and give us
lesson. II you will consent will
promise to give as fine day in the
mountains, shooting pheasants and
squirrels, as you ever had in your
llfe.'
That shooting proposition was too
much for me, and l agreed to be with
the mountain musicians that night.
so I went to their little aaroom,

The story of, ..The Man Of the
Hour involves the fortune of both
the heroine and her brother, and the
fact Is held over the head of th@
mayor by way of forcing him to the
will Of his party's boss. Many other
powerful influences are brought to
bear, but the mayor resists them all.
The fact of his resistance is then used
to show the heroine that he is OPP
posing the railway franchise for the
purpose Of personal gain, even at the
cost Of the fortune of herself and all
