"PopoM vory truthfully said: "Truth
needs no Mowers of Bpnoch," and to that
end tho fact of moroly announcing that
Lewis Morrison will appear in hie groat
creation of Mophiflto in "Faust," in a
more olaboruto production of Goethe's
romance than haB over boon our for-

tune to witnoBB heretofore, is sufilcient
to assure tho public of a performance
worthy of the author and actor, for Mr.
Morrison is always thorough in all ho
does and there is a brilliancy in his work
which ie distinctly Morrisonian. Hence
the cause of tho enormous popularity of
"Faust" as presented by Lewis Morrison,
who announces this as positively hiB
last visit to us bb "Mephisto." At the
Oliver, Monday January 30th. Prices

wherever tho comedy has been presented.
In tho second act especially the auditor
will notico the novelties. An ordinary
garden hose which is innocently coiled
up in the beginning of the act, provokes
roars of laughter before the curtain falls,
and a trained rat also comnB in for its
share of applause. ThiB act is set to
represent a carrisgo house and shows
both the ground floor and the loft, the
latter being practical and occupies tho
full width of the stage. It was quite a
feat in stage engineering to make this
loft solid, for there is a clear span of
thirty feet, but it was finally accomplish
ed and Ave people can run about the
flooring without the slightest danger.
The company which presents "Mistakes
Will Happen" is ono of the strongest
comedy companies that hps ever been
got together. It includes Charles Dick
son, Henrietta Crosman, Chas. Harbury,
Adrh Eckert, Oarrie Behr, Edmund
Lawrence, Ben Doane, Franklin Garland
and Jacob Litt, under whose direction

production. Prices $1.00, 75, 50 and 25
oents. Seatson sale Tuesday a. m. at 9
sharp. Secure your seats early for this
will be the society event of the season.

Miss Dorothy Morton, the celebrated
prima donna, who will be seen in this
city next Wednesday evening, February
1st, at the Oliver thdatre, at the head of
the Dorothy Morton company, s be
yond all doubt the best light opera so
prano in America. Aside from having a
voice of remarkable purity and sweet
ness, she is probably the handsomest
woman on the American stage, and is a
prototype to the Airy, Fairy Lillian
Russell, when that glorious song bird
had reached her highest point of popu
larity. Mies Morton cotneB to this city
at the head of an organization which
stands without a peer in this country.
The repertoire contains nearly all the
best standard works" including "(Jirofle
Glrotla," "The Beggar Student,"
"Chimes of Normandy," 4,Fra Diovolo,'
"The Bohoraian Girl," etc. Aside from

pany, an entire car load and other ef

Blanche Walsh and Melbourne Mac
Dowel, supported by the Melbourne
MacDowell company, will be seen at the
Oliver for two nights and a Wednesday
matinee beginning Tuesday, February
7th, iu a revival of Fanny Davenport's
great production of "La Tosca" and
"Fedora." This may be looked upon bb
rather an important event in theatrical
circles, and it is fair to presume that the
sale of seats will go at a lively rate. In
Sardou's play, "La Tosca," all dramatic
power is brought into action, and the
result is one of the most enjoyable pre
sentations the stage has ever seen. "Fe
dora" is a most elaborate work, with
strange physical and theatrical interest,
crowded with varied ' and magnificent
movement, and is a perfect example of
continuous dramatic suspense. MIsb
Davenport's fertile researches and lavish
scenic embellishments gave her stand
ing aa a manager. Neither money nor
pains have been spared to present the
plays in good style. Sardou has always
rilled his plays with fine points, and not
too fine to be lost on anybody, even in
the gallery. Sale of seats and boxes be
gins Saturday, February 4th.
There are many novelties in the con
struction of "Mistakes Will Happen"
which comes to tho Oliver, Thursday
February 2nd. Even the time honored
screen had been relegated to the garret.
But if Mr. Stewart has left out a lot of old
timbers, he has replaced them with new
ones which serve the purpose far better
and the change from the old to the new
iB thoroughly appreciated by the large
audiences which havo been the rule
