the Lan
is one
of Lincoln J. Carter's productions that have brought him much money
in the last year or two. It is a mcllo drama constructed along pop
ular lines, and it appeals to a distinctive class or theater goers as
few niello dramas do. Sccnically, it is a triumph. Mechanical skill md
ingenuity have produced in this play scenic effects of the most vivid
sort. The fast mail is as natural as life. The company presenting this
play is said to contain a number of very competent people, some
members of the cast being strangers to the people of Lincoln.
"Mr. Names of New York," will be presented at the I-ansing theatre,
Sept. 5. Emily Rigl will appear in. a role which she is known to
especially favor, that of Marina Paoli, the hot-headed but warm
hearted Corsican girl, who after many vicissitudes chooses rather
to love than to hate. James E. Moore will give the people of
Lincoln a taste of his managerial judgement in the selection of a
company to support Miss Rigl. James K. Hackett has been intrusted
with the title role of Iiurton II. Harnes of New York, Mr. Hac
kett has had the advantage of the best surroundings the American
stage can afford in such companies as Daly's, A. M. Palmer's and
Daniel Frohman's, and last season he toured the country in "The
Private Secretary," under Mr. Itonta's management. The part ol Enid
Anslruther, the young English girl, whom Rarnes succeeds in win
ning during a railroad journey, is now in the hands of May Haincs
Moorc, who has added the word Moore to her name since her last
appearance here as Ethel Lincoln in "Mr. Potter of Texas" some
three years ago. Then there is Horace Lewis who used to appear
rs the sturdy old Corsican retainer of the Paoli family in the play,
but he now essays the role of Danclla, the wicked count. The rail
road scene is now given distinct transformations, and illus
trates perhaps the most humorous episode in the play.
A Good Appetite
Always accompanies good health, and an absence of appetite is an
indication of somothing wrong. Tho universal testimony given by
those who have used Hood's Sarsaparille, as to itsmeritB in restoring
the appetite, and as a purifier of tho blood, constitutes tho strongest
recommendation that can be urged for any medicine.
Hood's Fills euro all liver ills, biliousness, jaundice, indigestion,
sick headache. 25c.
