It is announced that Mrs. Danes
Defense" has been added to Margaret
Anglin's repertoire and she will give
one performance of 1t on Saturday
night, which will be the last night Of
her engagement here. 1t has often been
stated that this Is Henry Arthur
Jones most remarkable play ,and the
fact that it has survived the test of
ten long years of life proves that lts
intensely dramatic story Is much 10

teresting to compare Margaret Ang-
Inns work in Mrs. Danes Defence
with that in "The Awakening of Hell
ena Richie" and there is no doubt that
those who have seen one will wish to

An audience which practically filed
the Empire theater last evening placed
the stamp of approval on the I1Voil
comedy company which opened at the
Third street house for an indefinite
engagement. "The Little Widow" the
opening three-act musical comedy, is
replete with good situations and ex-
ceIlent singing numbers and Mr.. Kelly
and his evenly balanced company ac-
cepted the many opportunities offered
them in a manner which resulted IN a
very clean and creditable performance
throughout. The chorus is composed
of good looking and clever girls. The
lobby of the house has been redecor-
ated, while the sceenry used for the
opening production is credit to the
scenic artist. Mr.. Kelly has had
strung from the theater to his sign at
the corner of Third and Main streets
a line of lights which attracts much
attention and should be of valuable
assistance in bringing the dollars to
the box office.
Kara, without ooubt the greatest

ing, Wolfe, Moore and Young, three
rollicking entertainers; Richardson's
Posing dogs, Rolf Rafaeley, the Eu-
ropean cartoonist; Moredock and Wat
son. the rag-time kings, and new
comedy pictures. The bill did not
start yesterday afternoon until nearly
o'clock, owing to the fact that the
center of the stage until that time was
occupied by two telegraph operators
giving the returns of the fight. These
were read in front of a special drop OF
great American flag which Manager
Bovyer had had painted especially Tor
the occasion. The bill will be reviewed
in tomorrow'S issue.
