The Greatest Repertoire.


1t would be hard to find a stock COM
pany presenting line OF plays equal to
those given by the McAuliffe Stock COM
pany, which will appear at the Chandler
Music hall for six nights, commencing
Monday evening, Feb. 10th.
Some of the similar attractions have
one or two bills which are featured, but
Mr.. McAuliffe believes that every per-
Torrance should be equally powerful and
that each and every one should be decid-
ed drawing power in itself. II is not the
aim of the management to open with one
particularly attractive play and then
follow up good impression with series
of unpalatable presentations. The open
ing bill Monday evening will be the
great comedy drama, "Dens and Pal
aces" with "a Prince of Liars, I" "Sham-
us O'Brien,r "The Fatal Coin," .fOut
casts of Society,"" "A Daughter of the
People" and "The Fairies welI'' to fol-
low. This exceptionally strong list of
plays will be produced entire the same as
the original productions.
High-class specislties will be intro
duced between the acts as follows:-Jere

dies; All. W. Wilson, the worlds great

Music hall was well filled for the play
whose tropical warmth of temperament
melted the frozen emotions as fingers and
toes gradually lost that detached feeling
OF numbness so common under northern
skies at this particular season. Sleighing
parties came from all around, even a place
so distant as Tunbridge contributing to
the number of spectators.
Opinions differ as to whether "Under

that while they bear some resemblance to

The scene of "Under Southern Skies

by beautiful stage setting of luxuriant
vines, orange tree in the center and the
pillared portico of Southern mansion.
The cast was good throughout, and the

until the maturing touch of sorrow lays
upon young shoulders the responsibilities
of womanhood. Both she and Marguer-

and mother, Stella Crofton, though not
the greatest of tragediennes, had sufii-

citation at the wedding scene a thrilling
moment.
John T. Burke was fairly ideal in the
character of Major Edward Crofton, the
high-minded Southern planter, while

out the Halloween party admirably. The
colored element was something superior,
