THE GOURIER.
THE THEATRE
Parties with ample supply of tears and
wide open lachrymal ducts had a chance
to iadulge in their specialty at the Oliver
Tuesday evening. A epectactlar melo
drama founded on the well known novel
The Vendetta" has been favorably
known throughout the country for a
aeries of years under the title of its hero
"FabioRomani.'' It is one of the few
playa dramatized from' a tear stained
novel In which the ear marks of the lat
ter are but faiutly visible. It is a weird
play, quite sombre in tone, but for the
most part true to life. It has a plot that
is possible if not overwhelmingly prob
able. It abounds in strong scenes and
situations, some of which border closely
on the blood and tbander drama. A
number of pretentious stage settings add
to the general efect.
The acting waa satisfactory. Aiden
Benedict, who impersonates Fabio bo
mast, has a voice of uncommon volume
aadresonance with discretion, dodging
the temptation to rant and roir. In
action he k forcible and earnest. Miss
Olive West gave a well-posed portrayal
of the amorous and deceiving Nina. She
was equally at home in the subdued
passages of the first part of th9 play as
in the highly emotional incidents at the
doss.
Between acts two and three there is a
weird fire and serpentine dance sched
uled. This feature received proper and
and graceful attention at the nanda and
feet of Miss Hunter. At long intervals
we find one of the minor parts given by
an actor who deserves unstinted praise
for a rounded bit of character acting.

played a ragpicker. Toby Bex.
Prof. Wm. Windsor has been lecturing
at the Funke on Phrenology and hk
free evenings have been crowded. Day
time he make charts of people's head
t five dollars per chart. The ultimate
conclusions of phrenology are still a dis

it k evidently an exact science. If hk
remarks and attacks on those who dis
agree with him were clothed in more
correct English and not obscured by
what k called the "endless introduction"
style he would be more convincing.
The next attraction at the Funke will
be Fitz and Webster's jolly musical com
edy, "A Breezy Time, which comes for
one night only, Thursday, March 17.
Thk clever .attraction has been seen
here before and will be well remembered
by local theatre goers as one of the best
of the musical farces. The company
thk season k raid to be, if anything, a
little better than ever, especially so aa
regards specialties, there being no less
than twenty-live high cIbbs vaudeville
acta introduced throughout the three
acts of the play. Prices, 25, 50 and 75
cents. Seats on sale Wednesday 10 a m.
"The Gay Matinee Girl" which comes
to the Oliver theatre for a one night's
engagement, Monday, March 14th, is
aid to be about the brightest concoc
tion of music and farce that playgoers
have seen. What the title has to do with
the meager plot, does not matter. The
audience just enjoys itself. It k kept
busy doing thk for two and a hill hours
by Momoe & Hart, and a big company
of pretty dancers, singers and specialty
artkts. What story The Gay Matinee
Girl" boasts of, concerns the deceived
wives of two theatrical managers, an
aspiring eoubrette and come summer
boarders at a Florida hotel.
Monroe k Hart form a strong comedy
team. The former plays Jay I. Waa?, a
Northerner, while the latter appears aa
CoL Bill Banks, a Southerner. They
are ia evidence much of the time aod
the audience never tires of their work.
Chaa. H. Dean aa Bob Whitewater, the
negro hotel porter, ably seconds the ef
forts t. M. Barlow makes Willie Work
an exqukite tramp, while Miss Fern
Melrose and Miss Alice Hamilton are
properly versatile as the rives of the
two managers, turning up in disguise to
plague them, and Miss Myrtle Franks
does not miss any of the amuBing points
in the character of Prudence Prim, the
aged spinster, who k equally ready for
an engagement aa a soubrette or a wife.
