THE LYRIC THEATRE.

Have you seen and heard the Bus ter Brown girls at the Lyric. Now. listen, just a moment It doesn't make any difference if you are of the same sex, you'll like this act because of the good singing and pretty costumes. If you are an old bachelor with a grouch, you'll like this act because the girls will drive away the blues by their charming personality. and if you are single. of the male gender, youll say they are the best ever. They constitute the best singing and dancing act ever seen in Hot Springs.
 The Petete family of acrobats are also a feature that all should see, be- cause no more sensational act has ever been witnessed in local vaude- vile, than that done by this family. The risks they take are many, and for daring and rapid work, they can not be surpassed. If you have not seen this show, today is the last chance to appreciate the worth of the Lyrics great bill

AT THE AUDITORIUM
Louis Mann in DeIevatino a Husband

Louis Mann in "Elevating Husband ' Fresh from run of six months n New York and two most successf1l additional months in Chicago Louis Mann is to be seen at the Auditorium theatre. on Tuesday evening, March 18th, in "Elevating Husband" the new dramatic comedy by Clara Lip,
 man and Samuel Shipman in which this distinguished character actor is credited with having scored one of the most decided successes of his no
 table career. Opening originally al
 the Liberty theatre in New York, Mi
 Mann played in succession the Gar
 rick, the Criterion tfor two engage
 ments), and the Grand opera house.
 It would be interesting to compute the
 hundreds of thousands of people in
 New York alone who enjoyed Mir.
 Manns performance during these
 lengthy runs.
 Louis Mann's popularity as an ac- tor does not consist solely in his power to make an audience laugh. lie has the rare gift of being able to min gle tears with merriment. one moment conyulsing his audience with laughter and the next by a marvellous transi- tion of voice and facial expression, bringing the heart into the throat. No play that he has had in recent years has afforded him sucn splendid oppor- tunity to display these powers as "Ele- Vating Husband" One of the best comments on the performance is that it makes you laugh but it also makes you think
 Mr. Mann's role is that of young 'hve-cent- store merchant who falls in love after successfully reaching an af- fluent position in business. He is bit unpublished, however, and the young woman whom he marries deter mines to elevate" him. The humor of the play as well as the heart inter est develops from the ensuing compli- cations.

 The story is from the Hungarian, and the libretto has been written bY Edith Ellis Cary Duncan providins. the lyrics, and the composer is Chas. ]. Hambitzer a musician whose ex- ceptional talents were discovered and vouched for by Miss Scheff herself. The Love Wager gets it's title from the plot, which deals with wager made by Mitzi tFritzi Scheff), the fas- cinating and mischieyous child of Hungarian widow, that she will give a handsome lieutenant one kiss for each of her three elder sisters if he succeeds in marrying them off. He agrees to find husbands for all of them, and by series of incidents he succeeds in making three of his friends promise in succession. Tn makes Alitzi the eldes unmarried daughter, as she wanted to be, for ac- cording to Hungarian custom only the eldest daughter can receive marriage But when the lieutenant comes to collect his three kisses there Is an interpreter misunderstanding but ultimately. of course. he gets his three kisses, as we'll as the charming Mitzi

 There has been considerable

 to meet such a contingency. Our

 work cut out for her for some time to come and no matter how big she may talk, she is in no po- sition to start any trouble with this country. The moment she does her nearer neighbors will wipe her off the map.
