At the Novelty.

The bill at the Novelty theater this
week grows in popularity with the au-
diences and the general verdict is that
the programme offered is the best
show that has been presented at that
playhouse this season. The Trans-At-
iantic four is winning great success, as
are all the other acts including Area
dia," the prima donna and violinist;
MADEIRA and Miller in the clever Mas
queraders'' and Harrison brothers in
their screaming farce. THE Matrimon-

pleasing illustrated song. Darling, I"

The most widely advertised musical
number in 1.-THE Merry Widow which
comes to the Grand Wednesday, De-
cember q, is the languorouS waltz in
troduced midway in the score and skill
fully repeated at intervals until it is
sprung to accompany a heated dance
between the widow and the Prince
DaniIo in the second act. The scene is
the Marsovinan fete, at the widows
garden party in Paris, picturesquely
dressed and stage directed. After all
the coryphees have danced away, the
place is left to the widow and the
compartment of many violins, proceed
to epitomize the seductive possibilities
of the waltz as it is danced in the
country where the waltz king lived.

became unbeatable. The family became
