The New Phillips.

The New Phillips.
The panic which had such a run last
winter and spring threw the persons
who are now composing Frank NAL
tese & Co., out of melodrama into
vaudeville, that they might make a liv-
ing. They had made good in melo-
drama but that move was really the
making of this company. In comedy
they are good and there is no dream
about that. In THE Wrong Mrs. APP
pleton'' they will be seen once more
and that once is tonight.
The panic did not effect Harlem
Bros, and it does not look as IL it
would ever have chance. Judging
from the crowd which are attending
the New Phillips these first three days.
AS long as these men can keep up
their line of comic acrobatic stunts
they will get the crowds.
RUDE Dickinson is a show within
himself. One look at him means a
laugh and when he commences to talk
1t is scream.

1.-THE Lion and the Mouse"
In 1.-THE Lion and the Mouse" which
Henry B. Harris will present here at
the Gennett theater matinee and night
March 6. Charles Klein. the author,
has written play that promises to
be Of enduring popularity. Indeed. 1t
may be said that the success already
achieved by this drama is beyond any
thing known in America in the past
ten years.
The theme is most pertinent to the
present day when everyone is keenly
alive to the machination of trusts and
kings OF finance. Mr.. Klein has dis
played excellent judgment in present
ing q phase of American life with
which the public has become familiar
through the newspapers and maya
zines OF the times. He depicts a king
OF finance as he is. robbed of melo-
dramatic attributes. In opposition to
him he places true figure of Ameri-
can womanhood-it is their struggle
with the final victory for the girl that
constitutes the basis upon which this
powerful drama of emotion is built.
From this complication arises 4 series
Of situations OF strong emotion, and
admirably rs they are written. they
gain In power Of conviction from their
adroit handling by the exceptionally
fine cast which Mr.. Harris has select
ed for the presentation Of this drama
The announcement OF the play here
cannot fab to elicit the keen interest
Of all classes Of theatergoers.
