THE COURIER. ANNOUNCEMENTS. For Thanksgiving day afternoon and evening, at the Lansing theatre, the attraction will be David Henderson's American Extravaganza company in "Sinbad; or the Maid of Baisora," a musical burlesque, which has had a tremendous success In the great cities of the north and west, having been played over 500 nights at 'the Chicago opera house, where it was first pro duced. The3tory is the familiar one of the voyage of Sinbad to the Pigmy is- KOBEKT G. INGEKSOLL. land, as told in the "Arabian Nights." It is done, however, in a burlesque fashion, retaining merely enough of the original tale to give it continuity. It is right up to date, and aside from the plot it contains many bright, new and interesting specialties. Nearly every one of the principals in the cast con tribute to the program a "special turn" which Is entirely original and quite out of the common. The music has much that is original about it, and there are moments when it borders upon the standard of comic opera. The scenery, costumes and properties are gorgeous. A panorama representing the caravels, the white squadron and the ocean grey hounds, opening the second act, is an artistic piece of marine painting, and the transformation, "the origin of the harp," one of the handsomest scenes ever put before a Lincoln audience. The choruses and ballets are well trained and are features of the performance. There could have been no stronger attraction provided for the patrons of the Lansing theatre than that of Rob ert Downing, who will be seen this. Saturday evening, in his new play, "Helena," by the great French writer VIctorion Sardou. This play is the au thor's masterpiece and the very best play of the American tragedian's rep ertoire. It is a romantic tragedy, that ranks with the celebrated "Glsmonda," in which Fannie Davenport made her great success, and from a scenic and spectacular point of view is said to be much above it. Mr. Downing procured the American rights to the play and has played the piece only this season and it has met with the greatest suc cess and won high honor for its author and for Mr. Downing. The play has to do with the atonement for and the forgiveness of a most brutal crime, and in its sublime passages one is almost carried away with enthusiasm. Eu genie Blair, the handsome leading wo man who has so long been identified with Mr. Downing's successes will be seen in the title role which presents a most powerful dramatic figure. Miss Blair rises far above the pathetic char acters of Virginia and Neodamia in this play and shows a wonderful strength. Thecompany supporting Mr. Downing is one of the best that he has ever identified himself with. It Includes such actors as Edwin Ferry. Charles Collins, Mrs. F. N. Bates. J. H. Kolker. Alex. MacKenzie, "Walter Barton and J. R. Emery. Bunco, the word applied to all the dif ferent modes of swindling Indulged in by a class of people who exist on the credulous, forms the main motive for the fun which sparkles and scintillates, through a profusion of songs, dances, pretty women, handsome costumes, and the ever changing brightness and color incident to these ingredients in farce comedy or comedy opera, in which class a "Green Goods Man." which ap pears at the Lansing theatre. Tuesday. November 26. belongs. "A Green Goods Man's" experiences are aptly summed up in his reply to his friends on his re turn to Jayvllle. when in answer to a question, If he was acquainted in New York, and if he had enjoyed himself he made this remark: "Well, I don't know whether I am acquainted or not; I was buncoed twice and arrested once, so suppose I must have had a good time." The leading character of the Down East Yankee will be portrayed by Mr. Frank Jackson, the famous sheriff In "Old Jed Prouty," a comedian of a high order of merit. Barry Maxwell will appear as the "Green Goods Man" and Billy Link will exploit the Dusty Rhodes and wea ry walkers, "A Tramp" now so common with the comic papers throughout the country; "Edvlna,"a phenomenally suc cessful dancer, appears In a startling dance, and Georgia Chartress in a whistling solo. The company, which numbers 17 people, contains splendid voices, graceful dancers and a number of novel specialties, including Chas. Eastwood, in his famous Imitations of J. K. Emmet. The beautiful comedienne. Emily Bancker. and company of distinguished players, will present the comedy. "Our Flat," at the Lansing theatre Monday evening, November 25. One of New York's most accomplished critics wrote the following of this attraction: " 'Our Flat Is a farce pure and simple, but It Is far above that form of amusement generally designated farce-comedy. The stereotyped characters of knock-about farce are refreshingly absent and the old case of mistaken identity Is barely made use of. The Idea of the farce Is particularly new, the situations are new, and the treatment they received from the company Is new. The clever lines and the clever acting obviate the necessity of a string of unimpressive specialties. The run of the thing is fast, but it is always legitimately con ned to the llces of pure farce." There Is a scene in "Our Flat" which shows re markable ingenuity and originality. Emmissaries of an Installment house enter the fiat and strip it of its furnish ings to satisfy an unpaid claim.
