' "Ole Olson" made his annual reap-, reap-, ptarance at the Grand theater last night,- and found a crowded house of his Id friends present ot receive him. "Ole Olsen,- that fs, Ben Hendricks' Ole, ranks among the foremost Swedish dialect characters on the, stage today. Hendricks' genial and open personality blends perfectly with the unsophisticated, unsophisti-cated, blundering Immigrant, making It iuite impossible to separate the Hendricks Hen-dricks from the Olson. V Mattie Lockette, the spflgKtry soa-l soa-l btette. as Gerrie Dimple, was entirely releasing and had won the favor of the tadience before the drop of the first jrcortatn. The CFlanagan widow was In the hands of Mis Mabel Gray and not particularly well acted. Ed Chrissie as Dr. Shtngle, whoi sighs his name "G. Quintan Shingle." created his share ftf the funV and the pair of villains, vil-lains, Royal Thayer and Jefferson Bas-s Bas-s sett, were acceptable, as Was also Miss Agnea Fuller in- the role of Mrs. Jor dan. : t Aft excellent feature of the performance perform-ance Is the staging, the singing of the Swedish Quartette and" of Hendricks. The latter sings two songs of his. own cotrrpowttiony "Babies and Blossoms" and "Memories of My Swedish Home," both of which were rapturously encored. The engagement of "Ole Olson"- is for the remainder of the week. e e . f. Miller Kent in ''The Cowboy and the Lady" comes to the Bait Lake Theater The-ater tcmigTit for an engagement of three performances. Especial attention Is called to the facjE that during William Gillette's engagement engage-ment In "Sherlock Holmes" at the SaK Lake Theater the curtain will rise at precisely 8 o'clock each evening and that those coming late will not be seated seat-ed until aftei the end of the first act. The Interest In the story. 6f the play commences at the rise of the, curtain, and thiq rule Is mads so that those who are Irr their places promptly shall not be dtstotbed by a few late-comers. e The seat tale for Murray and Mack's "A Night on Broadway" opened at the Grand theater this morning. Otis Skinner d"urln a recent engage-rpwrt engage-rpwrt In Rochester, N. Y., was called linori for a Speech, and one of the local -critics Wrote: "The eminent tragedian jproved to be something of a humorist, 'consciously and unconsciously, and he ' made a very pretty speech.'' Why can't a tragedian be Just as humorous in . speCh-makloir - A fomedian ? He -certainly ts apt to have Just as good a memory, the main thing trt these extempore ex-tempore remarks. a. Louis Mann may go with Weber and Fields next season. His wife, Clara Lipman, Is not yet recovered from an injury sustained over stx months ago.
