-Si 'rftjgiYT- jg THE COUBIBR. ANNOUNCEMENTS. i t 6- llr fe ) i-Nt Mr. Potter has made "Trilby," a play tbat fairly teems with action and dra matic effect. The story is told in a com prebensive, straightferward manner. Every situation is reasonable and natur al thero are no anti-climaxes, no repe titions, no extraneous theatrical devices, the development of the story is logical and consistent at all times. Mr. Potter has followed the book rather more faith fully than is the custom with the aver age dramatist. Most of tha characters have been reproduced with wonderful fidelity. Little Billee, Taffy and the Laird are Da Maurier's portraits brought to life. Svengali is depicted with hor rible realism, Gecko is the same weird, pitiable specimen of a musical enthusi ast that the book portrays. Jolly Zou Zoa, reckless Dodor and the half dozen other minor characters which have be come so well known and admired by the public are all graphically represented. Regarding Trilby there will be a dif ference of opinion, that is as to her re lation to Du Maurier's "Trilby,' as to herself all will agree that the stage "Trilby" is thoroughly charming. For the sake of dramatic effect Mr. Potter has changed "Trilby's" character to the extent of making her weaker in her love for Little.Billee than was the original. She does not make a willing sacrifice for her lover's sake she is taken away from him by the hypnotic art of Svengali. This may not be so noble, but it is cer tainly more in accord withfhuman nature. It. other respects the stage character does not differ materially from that of the book, though of course it is not possible to present all the varying shades of "Trilby's" charming nature so graphically described by Du Maurier. A company of admirable players has been brought together by Manager Pal mer for the interpretation of "Trilby." Evory role is taken by a competent per Bon, and there is an attention to minor details that is most commendable. "Trilby" will be presented at the Lan ing theatre, Wednesday, January 7. "A Bachelor's Wife," a comedy drama which will be presented by Dan'l Sully at the Lansing theatre Saturday, Janu ary 11, is entirely new, having been written by Mr. Dan'l Sully and the emi nent German comedian, Dan Mason. It abounds in various complications, both humorous and dramatic, and deals as do nearly all comedy dramas, with love and a touch of villainy. The scene is laid in a fashionable boarding house in New York city. Ru dolph Bunger, a German of means, en gages himself to Mrs. Belle Dashington, a widow, and the match is broken off by Tom Ryan, a practical joker, who charges Bunger with being the father of an infant which is left at the door step of the boarding honee by its mother. Much fun ensues in onse- , quence of the storm raised by the widow at the supposed perfidy of hei lover. George Farwell, alias Wallingford, is the villian of the play, and there is also his deserted wife, Helen Farweli, who is the mother of the child, which causes so much trouble for innocent Bunger and the Widow Dashington. The Pacific coast press have endorsed Mr. Sully's new play and speak for it as being the most successful one of the season's pro ductions.
