Show I g WHh the First JVfighter. Ng H The Thatcher Stock Company will use the first H three nights of next week with the production of H "Moths". The Logan papers speak in enthusiastic H praise of the performances which are being given H this week in Logan. A matinee will be given H Wednesday aftenoon at 3 o'clock. H e 1 MARIE DROFNAH. When one comes to consider the difficulty in H obtaining first class Shakesperean players, it would H appear that Mr. Charles B. Hanford has been singu- H larly fortunate this season. From all newspaper M accounts, it would seem certain that Mr Hanford has H not relied wholly upon scenic investure in his pro- H ' ductionsof "Much Ado About Nothing" "The Mer- H chant of Venice" and "The Taming of the Shrew". H Particularly comphmentery things are said of Miss H Marie Drofnah, the leading lady of the company; m Mr.Ferdinand Hight, Mr Stewart Beebe, Mr- Fred- H erick Forrester, Mr. Robert Lee Allen, Mr. Henry H Mac Rade, Miss Rose Curry, Miss Violet Pierson H and others of the twenty-four players used in these H productions. H 0 vSt J! H Zig Zag Alley butts into a couple of nights at the Hi Theatre next week. i This "Alley" is not familiar to citizens gener- H ally, and no predictions can be made, but the chief Hi will not pinch anyone who goes to peep at it either H night. The Field Minstrels. Al G. Field, with a line of senile blubbering that has been stock almanac talk for forty years, is the only person in his minstrel troupe who is a detriment to the show. The first part is a clever idea, and the specialties special-ties are good. The stamp ot approval can always be put on the Field show as a whole, and Al personally per-sonally can always be depended upon to make an ass ot himself. & jt & The attractions at the Theatre from now on, are rather few and far between, but the finish of the season will be brilliant. C. H. Hanfoid comes next, followed by' Mrs. Brune in "TJnorna," then Maiy Mannering, Crane in "David Harum," Nat Goodwin, Sothern, in "If I Were King," and Amelia Bingham in "A Modern Magdalen," "The Climbers" and "The Frisky Mrs. Johnson." & Nat Goodwin was examining a canvas at an art exhibit in Boston the other day, when the painter of the picture approached him and sa "You seem to like that picture?" "Like it," answered an-swered Goodwin; "a man. who would perpetrate a thing like that ought to get six months." This was too much for the artist. "Why, what do you know about painting?" he exclaimed; "you're only an actor. How can you know a bad picture. You never painted one." "No," drawled Goodwin, "that's true enough. But I know a bad egg when I run across it, and, would you believe it, I never laid one, either." &fr t& t5 Our Julia Dean, of whom great things are being said in the Eastern Press, will be here with Goodwin, Good-win, and will receive a fine reception. ( Jt Miss Drofnah is Mr. Hanford's leading lady. Now spell her name backwards. & & & A Satisfied Feeling comes after a dinner with Pontet Canet. It is a wine that keeps you wide awake while you stay up, and makes your sleep delightful after you go to bed. This would be a great old world if everyone ev-eryone in it could have a bottle of Pontet Canet for dinner every evening. RIEGER & LINPLEY, "The Whiskey Merchants." |
