The lino of attractions offered at thu
two theatres .tlio pant week was most
uttrnctlve, but tlio public did not ro
spond in Mich a manner an to oiler
much encouragement to the not too
cheerful mantigors.
"The Masked Hall" at the Lansing
theatre Saturday evening, whb excel
lently done, to a Htuall audience. Mr.
Cooto ua Paul lilondet the part createil
by John Drew, gave a strong character
izatlon. There Is a noo)ty In "The
Masked Hall," the portrayal of a tipsy
woman, or rather a lady Intoxicuted, and
Miss Marion Voting sustained the same
admirably. Her acting was delicate, yet
effective.
Mr. and Mrs. Oliver 11) run are not
particularly well known in Lincoln, and
they did not prove to be a diawing caul,
Monday and Tuesday.
On Wednesday "The Girl I Left Ho
hind Me," a military play not equal to
"Alabama" or "Shenandoah" was pro
minted at the Lansing Wednesday by an
evenly balanced company. Tlio Indian
Scar Brow talks a very very poor
quality of Iudiauese. It sounds a good
deal like a Dutchman trying to talk
French. Lucy Jlowkcwortli, Irene
Kverott.wasa hm colly ingenuous por
trayal. Violet Hand's Fawn Afraid was
also exceptionally good. General Reun
ion and Major liurleiah and 1'arlow
and Jloickcworth wore well cast. It is
doubtful if experienced military men aro
quite as excitable as the oillcers in "The
Girl I Loft Uohind Mo," even in the Hico
of danger. Thcro is an idea prevalent
that old campaigners are self-contained
and calm. Tlio play is a strong one and
was well staged and acted,
Thursday night at the Lansing theatre
Nellie McIIonry described "A Night At
Tho Circus" in her customary breezy
way. There are now and effective
specialties in the farce, and the piece
pleased tho audionce.
Last night "Tho Stowaway," one of
tho most familiar plays on tho stage, re
peated its usual success at tho Lansing.
Herbert T. Flint has entertained

"Little Puck" as it will be seen to
night at tho Lansing is a spectacular,
musical extravaganza. Frank Daniels'
name is a household word wheiover
laughter is a popular element. Thoro Is
a flavor of sedateness about Daniels
that makes him simply irresistible.
Every ono is familiar with tho story of
"Littlo Puck" which is an adaptation
of Frcdorick Anstoy's celebrated novel
"Vico Versa" by A. C. Gunthor. Mr.
Daniels has alwajs had tho roputntion
of being surrounded by a clover company,
and on tho occasion forthcoming ho has
fairly outdone himself, as the list

names on tho farco comedy stago of to

promise of witnessing probably tho most
important engagement or the season's
announcements in Felix Morris' coming.
Mr. Morris is unconditionally classed
among tho greatest artists or tho past
halt century. His remarkablo versa
tility, his inugnotisui, with his delicato
touches of nature as pictured in his
work, have won for him seoroB of admir
ers everywhere. His Monsieur Jacques
in "Tho Old Musician," introduces him
in a pathetic, touching role of a poor old
musician starving for food and in abject
povorty. And in thochiiractorof Major
De Doota in "Tho Mujor," both of which
plays will bo given hero, ho h soon aa u
nervous, hen-pecked husband. There
is astrongcontrastin tho twoplajs to bo
given, and thcro is said to be enough
fun and droll humor In "Tho Major" for
two or throo plays. Mr. Morris is sur
rounded with a well chosen cast, and
comes to us from St. Louis and Kansas
City, where tho entire cast is spoken of
as being simply perfect. Tho presenta
tion will include details of rare perfec
tion, and it is to bo hoped that tho
theatre will bo tilled.
Willie Collier will on Tuesday evening
produco "Hoss and Hoss" at tho Lans
ing thcatro. Tho piece claims no
authorship; it was written by this com
pany, mado by tho company, and plajed
by tho company, littlo by little, piece by
piece; us tho occasion suggested funny
lines have been introduced, new business
furnished and tho plot constructed by
paragraph. Willio Collier Is by far ono
or the brightest of young comedians.
His quaint manner and earnest endeavor
have won for him a place second to
none in the hearts of the mirth loving
public; on the cast this year me given
the names of some of tho brightest
farceurs in tho country. Among tho
numeious specialties to lie given thist
season will be Collier's parodies;
J-iines H. Gentry's hayseed songs; Slier
man Wade's ecceiitiic dances; Helena
Collier h new pastoial movement, called
"The ShepardcHs," and a new dance by
, Louise Allen Collier entitled "The '
Ostrich Dance." in which she will wear
a costume entiiely of ostrich feathers,
The quintette is still a strong featuie of
.the entertainment, as are iiIhi "The
Howery Hall" the famous juiy mid Hit
j funny dial, and the "Dollar I'oity." A
'new song called "Four Dead Swell
Micks" will no doubt boa populai nil

"The Fast Mail" which appeals at the
Lansing theatre Wednesday evening is
said to be the most successful laihoud
and scenic melodrama on the road
this season. Mr. L. J. Carter, the
author and manager, has connived to
weave into a consistent story nearly all
tho good points or the sensational drama
whicli tradition has handed down, ad
ding thereto tho most ingenious niechan
leal effects of tho play. Observing tho
drawing qualities of a tank of "real"
water, a tiro ongino with "real" horses,
and a fight botvveon "real" pugilists, Mr.
Cartor has determined to combine into a
singlo piece as many similar attractions
as could woll l)o crowded togothor. Tho
climax of each act itt Btrong enough to

Charles A. Gardner, a popular Lin
coln Favorite, and an accomplished
comedian, will piesent his new play.

sine of an appreciative audience in this
city.
Walker Whiteside will be seen for
