Sofia Scalclii and her company of grand opera stars at the Oliver theater on 'Monday night, January 0. Mine. Scalclii has .sung before more of the nobility than any artist of her time. She was associated so closely with the triumphs of Tattl that she became too much of a rival 'for the capricious little soprano, who became insanely jealous of the great contral to and refused to sing with her again. Associated with Salchl are several artists of the first rank. Mile. Helene Xoldi the past two seasons has sung with remarkable success lu London and Paris. She possesses a strong and particularly dramatic voice of unusual sweetness. She is a native of Chicago and the first great singer that the win dy city has produced. Signor Alberti, the baritone , is an accomplished ar tist. The tenor, Signor Canzio, has not been heard in America before this display of this popular author's quaint versatility, and it is' said to be replete with bright lines, ridiculously funny situations, dainty dances and up-to-date features. "A Stranger in New York" will bs presented here by the original great cast, which is headed by Harry Conor, Harry Gllfoll, Anna Boyd and George IJeane. All of these artists will be pleasantly remembered as the original principals in the famous "A Trip to Chinatown," and the characters which they have been cast for in the "Stran ger" were especially written for them by Mr. Hoyt. Prices $1.00, 75c, 50c and 25c. Scats on sale Monday morning at 9 sharp. Secure your scats early. "Under the lied Robe," the greatest dramatic success known in New York for many years, will be the attraction here on Tuesday evening, January 10, at the Oliver theater, for one perform ance only It conies to ns immediately after its pronounced triumph at the Empire theater.

Of all the plays which Mr. Hoyt has contributed to the stage in the past, none have proven a greater drawing card or made a more favorable im pression than his musical comedy, "A Stranger in New York," which comes to the Oliver theater next Wednesday evening, January 11. The "Stranger" is pronounced, his, best, work, and as far as humor is concerned has never been equalled upon the stage. The piece gives the widest scope for tne the young romantic actor who created so many roles under Mr. Charles Froli man's direction, heads a large organi zation of competent actors. That the popular demand for romance is not wanting is npparent in the success which "Under the Red Robe" has achieved ever since "The Prisoner of Zen da" set the fashion. In response to many requests Charles Frohman gave several revival performances of "Under the Red Robe" at the Empire theater recently and the furore created was tremendous. Prompted by the re ception given these revivals he deter mined to repeat the piece in a few other cities, and the performances 'here will no doubt be thoroughly ap preciated. This is going to be the last chance theater goers will have to see "Under the Red Robe."
