CBPITKL CITY COUR1BR, mMM H it Jt V Vi ell H The I.att Mis. Mrs. W. J. Florence "In the Mighty Dollnr" played to slim houses Monday ami Tuesday evenings. Mrs. Florence has lost none of1 her old tinio fuvoi-itiriin but her absence for a short period from the triage and the fact that she has not good support is probably the cause of unuppreciativo audiences. The play needs much padding. "The Old Homestead" was greeted on Thursday evening at the Lansing with a large, appreciative and enthu siastic audience. The play is a strik ing incident of the success with which familiar scenes are made bright. There are many characters iu the story, but they stand djvided some what, each occupying an individual sphere and yet all midgling as neigh bors and friends in tlio natural course of life rather than as characters modeled for a play and lltted into cer tain well defined groves and lltted places. The play is redolent with the fragrance of country life, the sunshine of happy contentment and sturdincss all around, only clouded by the concern of Joshua Whltcomb and Aunt Matilda for the absent boy who had hoped to better his fortune by leaving the farm for city life. The male quartette is simply charming. Lincolnites only wish the company played a longer en gagement. "KlKlit Hells" Tiu-mluy KvciiImk. That charming production. "Wight Bolls, ''will bo seen at the Lansing Tuesday evening, and as it has been seen hero before by the same excellent company, little can bo said in praise of the attraction that has not already been -printed. The opening scene is a pretty air rung on chimes of bolls which are not in view. The effect is pleasing. During the Hist act a verse or two of "Hear deni Bells" is sung. This song is always popular with an audience, at least the chorus is, no matter how often the song is heard. In the second act a locomotive clangs iiwuj uta lailioad ilejiot scene, with the melody peculiar to Itself The sec oud scene of the second act is repre sented on shipboard. Daniel Mcdozlo counts the stiokes ami a,s "Llylit Hells" and thinks he will turn in.

McGo..lo in one stateroom, and the two servants, John and James iu an adjoining one, have a difficult dine of It keeping their feet. Iu this they show great agility. Several times tho vessel, or rather tho hull of it, which is left, appears to be on tho point of going over; at last it does, reels over and over again with increasing rapidity. Tho three occupants of tho staterooms in view keep constantly climbing liko squirrels in a cage. It iu ludicrous and absurd, but very funny. Tho audience roars in laughter. The Brotheis Byrno aro always called be fore tho curtain at the close of this act. There aro a number of amusing confus ing situations, and in tho end everybody is happy. There is no vllllau In tlio piece. Incidentially there is some very clover juggling, remarkably whistling, and there Is a moonlight scene, humorous throughout, causing hearty mirth. It is, therefore, good medicine, easy and pleasant to take. Seats now on sale. Kt'iiliiiin L'oiiiIiii; Mire A jilrl ft.
