COMING ATTRACTIONS.

William Faversham will present his
new play, THE Fann," by Edward
Knoblauch at the Belasco Theater next
week. This new play by Mr.. Knoblauch
has proven to be one of the important
novelties of the season. In this drama
Mr., Faversham impersonates a faun, the
same being the god of the shepherd.
This particular faun happens to wander
out of the woods and fields-his natural
element-into London. He is discovered
by a certain Bord Stonbury enjoying
bath in a huge vase in the garden of
his house. He is first thought to be a
tramp or some other obnoxious person.
Lord Stonbury Is very soon made right
in this matter, with the result that he
provides the faun with an ulster for his
nakedness and brings him into the house.
The two enter into an agreement, with
the result that the faun is dressed up as
human being and makes his debut
into society. 1t may be easily imagined
that the dramatist has been able to
evolve from so propitious a beginning
play of very considerable novelty, inter-
est, and charm.
Richard Carles popularity has never
been better illustrated than in connec-
ton with Jumping Jupiter" which
comes to the Columbia Theater next
Monday evening. jumping Jupiter is

such a burden, but presents such we'll
