NEW YORK, January 12.-The feature
of the opening of the stock market to-

Tempest and Sunshine"

The appearance of Mary J. Holmes
delightful novel, Tempest and Sun.
shine" dramatization by Lem B. Par
ker, is an event that should be looked
forward to with interest by our thea
ter goers. The scenery is beautiful,
everything used in the representation
being carried by the company. The
costuming is quaint and pretty, the
gowns being made of airy summer
stuffs, made in the period of 1850
which is the time of the play; beau
tiful Southern melodies are introduced
throughout the play with great effect.
The story is both strong and inter.
esting. and is relieved with much com.
edy which is contributed by the darky
servants as special entertainment
for their masters and mistresses, who
are of the Southern aristocracy.
Tempest and Sunshine is one of
the big successes of recent years and
no one who enjoys a first-class play
presented in a first class manner
should fail to see Tempest and Sun
shine" to be seen at the Gennett on
Saturday, Matinee and night, April 20.
