ohiI Otis Comedians Last Three Days
of This Week.

Something very extraordinary in
The amusement field has been secured
by the management of the Opera
house for limited engagement, be-
ginning next Thursday, Oct. IS. 1t is
none other than the famous Phil OFT
whose peculiar eccentricities as
comedian will be remembered with
pleasure by all who enjoyed the
work of Joe OFT in THE Star Gazer,"
wherein Phil appeared as The Double
They will remember how they were
nystified and amused by the appear
nee of first one and then the other,
10Th seemingly the same individual.
Ever since that time, Mr.. OFT has
cen appearing in high-class produc-
lions, in both legitimate and vaude-
lille in every part of the country, but
lis one hobby has been to provide
ligh-class musical entertainments
1T popular prices; realizing that the
lay of the melodrama has run it's
curse, when blood and thunder is
10 longer wanted by the theatre go
ng public, he has equipped himself
With several musical farces, in which
he comedy situations fairly run riot,
but in which there are also many
pleasing musical numbers and pretty
ances. the very kind of an entertain
ment that will be appreciated by those
Who enjoy the best and prefer laugh
ter to sensationalism
To sum up. in comparing Phil Otis
omedians, please remember what he
IS offering: High-class musical COM
edies written by a recognized play
wright. wherein there is not one dull
instant, interpreted by a star whose
superior is not to be found on any
stage, supported by a clever company
IF singers, dancers. comedians and
show girls, all handsomely custumed
he whole staged as BELTS a recognized
production, and all at bargain-counter
1rices.
Remember. if you see Phil OFT and
1on't laugh, see doctor. Seats to-
morrow.

CONDENSED DISPATCHES.

Floating in Long Island sound, off Fort
Schuyler. the body of George Ide NAL
com, board member of the New York
Stock Exchange firm of Malcolm &
Coomb, New York, was found Sunday
exactly one week after he disappeared
The fears of his friends and business as
sociates that he ended his life by jump
ing from a Fall River boat were thus
borne out. 1t was reported at the Office
of the Fall River Line that a man an
swering the description of the missing
broker jumped from the steamer Pris-
ella going east last Sunday afternoon.
The Malcolm family attributed the suicide
to dependency over the death of his
son. who died last June on Fall River
boat on the way to the Malcoms' sum-
ner home at Hyannisport. Mass.
