somo good voices in tho company and
tho songs were on tho whole, very well
received. Minnie Sartcllo in "Plum
Puclding" carries too heuvy a burden.
In a moro appropriate piece she would
appear to much bettor advantage. Sho

majority of soubrettesand is suflleicntly
attractive to give her real valuo in an
adequate play. Spence, "Hobo Dill," hi

is anxiously awaiting tho new Gilbert

Madeliuo Merli coinen to tho Lansing
next Monday and Tuesday, October 2
and .'J. On Monday night sho will prohent
"Tho Story of u Kibs," a new play from
tho French, from tho pen of'Eniilo
nier'flj "Jano"
Zola. Tho plot in laid in Franco at th
present time, and deals mostly with tho
lives of two people who are ruled moro
by their nerves and feelings than by
their reason. Thero aro several start
ling situations, one especially In tho lth
act where a paralytic tries to expose n
murder, and another in tho third act,
in which tho portrait of a dead man
llgiires conspicuously, Tuesday night
Miss Merll will present her version of
"Thereeo Raqtiln," the play in which
Mrs. James Drown Potter and Kyrlo
Hollow appeared last pciihoii and which
provoked ho much discussion. "Tlieieso"
is decidedly realistic, and Miss Merll's
version Is said to bo quite as startllngly
"reallBtlc"as any that has been pro.
seated. Seats a. o now on sale for tho
Merll engagement.
"Tho Limited Mall," which returns to
tho Lansing theatre next Wednesday
October 1 is of tho comedy drama order,
and was written by Elinor E. Vance, a
former Columbus tologrimh operator.
who has utilized his tiaiuing to intro
duce many startling and wonderful in
volitions In stage effects, many of which
aro produced by the aid of electricity,
and servo to worlc tho spectators up to a
high pitch of excitement. A railroad
train two hundred feet long and twelve
feet high dashes at lightning speed
across tho stage, rccupylng jiiHt six
seconds to do it in. A wreck scene, a
saw-mill scene, and somo unique
featutes of telegraphic manipulations
aro among the other triumphs of rea
lism. Unlike most nlays of its class, it
has u well defined plot and around this
is woven tho interesting situations that
go to make an enjoyable performance.
Whiloa night operator at tho Union
depot, Columbus, Mr. Vance conceived
tho idea of writing a novel depicting
in a truthful manner tho'many incidents
and episodes by which ho was dailysur
lounded. "Nellie Harland; A Homauco
or tho Kail and Wire," was tho result.
And the little volume had such a largo
sale, and tho critics were so enthusias'
tic over his maiden effort, that it was
finally decided to dramatize the work
which was done, and it was christened
"Tho Limited Mail." Tho royalties
from tho book bring him an income of
several thousand dollars a year, while
from tho play ho derives, it is said, no
less than e.r,000 a month. Tho sale of
seats opens Monday.
