Another Big Hit.

The George II. Webster Stock Co.
made another big hit last night when
it opened for the last three nights of
this week at the Grand in the western
melodrama In Arizona. The work of
the different members of the ompan
were particularly good, showing con-
CluS1Vely that no mistake was made
in. the selection of a single one of
them. The play. was a western one,
and during it's action the audience was
moved to laughter and tears, so we'll
were the different parts portrayed.
The plot is one of intrigue and
tells the story of Dick Marlowe, a
handsome young cattle man of Ari-
iona, who passes through a number
of hairbreadth escapes, as the result
of the Vaccinations of Captain Ben
Sol ostensibly an officer in command
of a border port, but who is the real
leader of a band of cattle thieves.
Benson, who is in love with Vera
Randolph, the beautiful daughter of a
wealthy cattle owner, resorts to every
crooked practice to 'discredit Marlowe.
and win the girl. But Benson is shot
for his pains, and although the per-
petrator is at first thought to be Mar
lowe, the hero is cleared by the con-
fession of Manuel Lopez, a Mexican,
whom Benson has wronged, and all
ends beautifully.
j. F. Carleton did some very nice
work in his character of Dick Mar
lowe and Miss Madel Vol Volner as
Vera Randolph gave an excellent
portrayal of the part. The other
characters were very well sustained,
the entire cast being as follows:

At the orpheum.
The best Jap act that ever appear
ed in.-this city vas the unanimous
opinion of those who saw the work Of
the Havana troupe of Japanese
equilibrists who are playing at the
.Orpheum the last half of this week,
and Manager Fowler is being con-
graduated on securing them. Their
work with the STICKS and their loot
balancing has not been equaled in
Fargo, and their work with the revolv-
ing barrels was astonishing. There
are three in the company, two men
and one oma
Miss Evelyn Dare's singing of IL ]
had the World to Give You, was well
received and pleased the three large
audiences Of yesterday and she had to
respond to a recall. The other single
turn on the bill is that of Miss Mae
Kessler, who rendered som solos on
the cornet hat are highly appreciated
and she, too, was given several en-
cores.
O'Clar & Mcdonald have a most
pleasing Irish comedy act Which Is
filed with singing, dancing and dia-
logue and real Irish wit, and 1t went
well. Another act that was very
pleasing was that 1of Sampson &
Sampson which they have named In
the Days of Caesar in which they
show great feats of strength. 1t rs
a fine bill for the closing of the holiday
week. The Coscio orchestra has a
lot of new Christmas music and the
Orpheumscope shows some very pleas
ing pictures.
