Howe, Adams and Howard aro responsible for Hiis feeling which exists in nearly every ev-ery audience that gathers to sec this bright play with music, for they are tho authors of it. The scenes are laid at a. rest-cure sanitarium in V.irginia.

Ticks has an uphill up-hill battle attempting to make love to Molly in his slangy manner and at. the saino lime gain forgiveness of her, but he succeeds in both and everything ends happily. Johnnie Hicks is played by Robert Pitkin, who is admirably suited to tho part. The nurse is interpreted by Elizabeth Guodall. Thcso two head tho company, which numbers nearly near-ly sixty people. The chorus is a splendid splen-did one aud includes tho famous "Prancing Bantams," who aro noted for their dancing. The production Is entirely new, as aro tho costumes. A sensation is expected this Sunday night, at tho Salt. Lako Orphcuui. when Ropario Guoircro makes her first appearance ap-pearance in thin citj. Bosario Oner-roro Oner-roro is regarded as tho greatest pantomime panto-mime artist in the world. She is a Spanish dancer, whose beauty and grace a.nd intelligence all find perfect expression in tho famous mutiical pantomime called "The Itose and tho Bagger." Tho Orphcum Circuit company com-pany brought Guerrero from abroad to this country for a tour of its theaters alone, paying her an enormous salary, it is said, for tho tour.

While in the act of drinking she unfortunately un-fortunately permits him to catch a glimpse of her diamond ring, Tho storm having now abated, she essays to continue her journey, but the cupidity of the bandit has been aroused and he bars her exit. Sho is greatly alarmed and offers tho man money, which he rejecls, and demands her ring. She sees now that she. has been trapped aud gives way lo despair. Suddenly Sud-denly an idea strikes her; at this instant in-stant the bandit draws hirf dagger to slab her, she releases her cloak and tho susceptible brigand is bewitched bj- tho sight of so much loveliness and stays his baud. The woman now wields all her arts of coquetry and Hat! cry; she lolls him Ilia! sho loves him and as proof, she is willing lo dance purely for his amusement. The bandit, is now thoroughly in tho ioils and is easily persuaded lo exchange his dagger for her rose by I he slender pretext that (he knifo frightens her. Tho dagger sccurod, she attempts flight, and then begins a struggle between them for mastery, ending by Iho woman stabbing tho bandit !o the heart and escaping.
