During his trip abroad MT. Savage se- cured the American rights and forth with after Americanizing it, produced it in New York city. The original book was by Rudolph Schanzer and Carl Lindau with music by Henry Bereny. The American adaptation of the book was made by A. B. Thomas and Edward Paulton.

 Day Rain Legend.


 Day Rain Legend.
 There were few frenzied fnanciers in England at the beginning of the eighteenth cetury if the banker Bull Hot, of whom the following story is told. can be taken as an example: The feast of St. Swfthin, July 15. 1725. was a particularly wet and stormy day. Trusting implicitly in the old super stition which says that if it rains on St. Swithin's day it will rain for forty days thereafter, Bulliot opened a pool for every one who was willing to bet against him. The affair attained so much -notoriety that the wager was re- duced to writing.
 eff. dating from St. Swith1n's day. reads the memorandum. 'it rains more or little during forty days successive ly Bulliot will be considered to have gained. but if it cease to rain for only one day during that time Bulliot has lost''

LYRIC THEATRE

Pretty impu1sive Peggy o'Mara, the sweetest little Irish girl who eyer her own way during the current week at the Lyric theatre, and the audiences which will crowd that popular play house at every performance will grant ming ways which gets her everything she wants. If she don't get it's there will be trouble, for Peggy has a will of her own. and she isn't at all back ward about asserting herself.
 Peggy O'Mara is the heroine of Ern- est Denny's entrancing three act comedy, 'tAll-of-a-Sudden Peggy'' and Eleanor Cleveland, the popular star of the company which bears her name, will impersonate her to the highest degree of enjoyment this week This wonderfully interesting and amusing play is only to be compared with ''The Marriage of Kitty in which Miss Cleveland was seen with such brilliant success last season. Peggy is much the same delicious little morsel of femininity as was Kitty, and her pres ence here this week will mean that the patrons of the Lyric theatre will enjoy her every moment before them.
 And not alone Peggy, for there are ters in the play, all of whom will be shown with decided success by the members Of Miss C1eveland's com pany.
 gy'' will be one of the finest which has been provided this season at the Lyric and everyone who witnesses the per formances of this delightful play will be carried away, not only with the excellence of the play, but with the magnificent rendition which will be provided. The play was the greatest of all the splendid successes scored by Henrietta CrosInman and for several seasons provided that eminent artiste with degree of favor which is rarely tresses It's three acts are replete with laughing sensations and the many and varied caprices Of Peggy keep an au- dience at the very top notch of hilar- ity.
 The story of the play is unique, and at times unusually dramatic, thereby possessing a striking flavor which makes it extrerne ely popular. No better comedy has been seen upon the Amer ican stage in very long time, and every one who visits the Lyric theatre this week will join in the expressions Of delight and approval. The cast has been very carefully selected, and the stage settings and costumes will be more handsome and elective than have been seen at any previous offering of the company.
 Miss C1eveIand's role is one of the most delicious and entertaining she has ever handled. and will renew the delight engendered by her presenta- tion last season of '"rhe Marriage of Kitty She will have excellent sup port in every way, and not one detail comedy event of the season.

ATTRACTIONS 1.-THE THEATRES
POLI'S THEATRE

Commencing with the performance this afternoon and continuing all the sent Edward Sheldon's gripping drama of the South, '%The Nigger." A few years ago another story of the South, .'The C1ansnan' was dramatized by with opposition from it's first presen- tation, especially in Boston and Phil adelphia,. being deemed of too radical 3. nature for Northern cities The au, thor of ''The Nigger'' has obviated from the story many features of the race problem which ,. were decidedly y, t:The Nigger'' had it's initial produc- tion at the. New Theatre in New York and was a success from the start, so much so in fact that Messrs. Liebler & Co, are preparing to send out sev- era1 road compaaies with the piece.
 The story of the play concerns row. who is nominee for the gover- norship at period not long after the war. when racial prejudice was at it's height. Morrow's greatest supporter ie who believes that if Morrow IS elect ed, he will favor the liquor interests. It so happens that at this time the country Is in a furore over a crime committed by negro, while under the influence of intoxicants, upon 2. white woman. The play leads up to the fight ed goverror and a mob of angry cit- izens, who are ready to lynch the ter ror-strtcken negro. Morrow single handed holds at bay the mob and as a result of the crime, he vetoes bill for the continuation of licenses. This unexpected move enrages Moves ana in revenge he makes known to Nor row, that he has co1ored blood in his veins. Terrified by this revelation Morrow sends for Georgiana Byrd, to whom he has pledged his troth and tells her the terrible facts, regarding his ancestors. Inspired with feeling of repulsion by this statement she flees from him and he prepares to make known the truth at public meeting to be held. His courage and the thought of the great sacrifice he is. about to make causes the girl to suffer a change of heart and she returns to her lover, and the final curtain finds peace and happiness for all concerned.
 Ethel Clifton, the new leading won- an. will have many opportunities for clever and artistic acting in the role of Georgiana Byrd and, needless to say, she will make the most of them.
 MT. Van Beuren, the talented young leading man, will portray the role of Philip Morrow and his performances in the past are sufficient proof that the part could not be in better hands.
 Miss Pringle will have a splendid part as Nanny the mother of the negro and MT. Kent, MT. Fox, Miss Starr, Miss Bernard, MT. williams, MT. Harrin gton and all the other favorftes will be cast in important and inter- esting roles.
