clear through and it has a charming

rather inferior to the music, but in a

ANNOUNCEMENTS.
'The Defaulter," Lincoln J. Carter's
now production, which will appear in
this city Wednesday, October 10, is the
story of a defaulter. A young bank
manager defrauds the bank and makes
his wife think he is honest. At his
trial the proofs of his guilt are undis
putable and In is sentenced to the penal
settlement for life in Australia. After
twelve years the convict writes to his
wife to come and bring with her a cer
tain box of papers which he says con
tains the proofs of his innocence. In
stead it contains the money he had
plundered from the bank. When the
wife arrives she discovers the true con
tents of the box. Her husband prevails
upon her to ask for two convicts as ser
vants. Spe does so and ho and his pal
get the job. The little girl, six years
old when he began his sentence, is now
a beautiful young lady of eighteen. 1 ho
convict tries to get his wife to consent
to their daughter's marriage with the
debauchee, his companion. She refuses,
he tries to force her and she is obliged
to denounce her husband to the author
ities and he is sent back to the galleys.
The scenery is especially good, notably
the scenes of the prison wall with Syd
ney and the harbor in the distance.
Too mnch cannot be said of Conroy fc
Fox's Irish character studies. They
have been coming to this city for many
seasons now and their line of work is
well known to theatre-goers, who have
laughed themselves hoarse over their
funny sayings and flashes of genuine
Irish humor. Their work is always
clean and their characterizations, al
though true to life, have ridiculed their
race. They will be seen for the first
timo in this city in their new comedy
entitled "O'Flarity "e Vacation,' which
tells the story of two well-to-do Irishmen
who take a couple of days outing at the
well known summer resort, Atlantic
City. The predicaments into wbicn
they fall and the complications that
arise while trying to make themselves
agreeable with the swell people of this
famous watering place are worked into
a very interesting, although ludicrous,
story. The company with which Man
ager Malley has surrounded his stars is
an exceptionally strong one, and in
cludes such well known people as J. W.
Kingsley, late of the "Robin Hood"
opera company; Hayes ana Post, the
grotesque comedians, who made such a
very great hit at the Madison Square
roof garden, New York city, this sum
mer; Miss Susio Martin, for many sea
sons with Edward Harrigan; Miss Letta
Meredith, for a long time at the head of
the Boston Theatre "Black Crook' com
pany; Miss Katie Allen, the bright little
soubrette who was Conroy fc Fox's lead
ing support last season in "Hot Ta--malee;"
Miss Jean Evelyne.late of Froh
man's forces, and a number of other
clever people. Everything to be seen
in "0FJarity8 Vacation" is said to be
entirely new. What songs and dances
there are interspersed throughout the
piece have all been composed and ar
ranged especially for Conroy & Fox.
These comedians always sot the boys to
whistling a lot of new airs around the
streets and this timo will prove no ex
ception to tho rule. Conroy it Fo are
popular with the people ami the indica
tions are that the house will bo packed
from pit to dome.
"Human Hearts.' which will be seen
at the Lansing theatre Monday, Oct.
14th; is one of the best performances
that will visit Lincoln this season. Gov
ernor Holcoinb and family have ex
pressed their intention of attending
because one sceno in this beautiful play
deals directly with executive life, "Hu
man Hearts' deals with life in the hills
of Arkansas. Tho first act shows Tom

Logan married to Jeanette Ariusdale.
an adventuress. Logan is also loved by
Ruth Larkin. Frederic Armsdale, an
old lover of Jeanette, comes to the Lo
gan homestead, and Jeanette, disap
pointed in Logan, as a husband, con
sents to run away with him and desert
her infant child. Armsdale, fearing a
just retribution at Logan's hands, sug
gests that he kill him. Jeanette consents
and plans the details, but, by an acci
dent, Logan's old father is stabbed to
death instead. Logan is accused of the
murder by his wife, and is sentenced to
prison for life. Four years elapse, and
Logan's mother has become blind,
while Ruth, a ministering angel, has
taken her place as mistress of the house.
Logan's blind mother and half witted
brother, Jim m y. go to the Governor of
Arkansas and ask for Logan's pardon.
When Logan, in the prison, is ordered
to the dungeon for having saved a crip
pled boy from a cruel guard, the pardon
arrives. Armsdale has stolen Logan's
child in hopes of getting the Logan
farm, which the grandfather had left
her by will. Logan now realizes that
he has loved Ruth all the while. Aided
by the tramp, whom he has befriended,
Logan rescues the child, and the faith
less wife is accidentally chot by Irms
dale. The child is safe in Ruth's arms
and all ends happily.
