THE COURIER. 10 1 -J: THEATRIGAb. THE OLIVER. "Xathan Hale," Clyde Fitch's etir ring dramatization of the story of the noble patriot spy of the Kerolntion, will be seen at the Oliver Theatre on next Thursday night. In the first place, Clyde Fitch, the anthor, is a Connecti cut boy. Nathan Hale himself was born in Coventry, Conr.eciicot, and graduat ed from Yale in 1773. One of his stauncheet friends, who was also a Con tinental Captain with him, was William Hull, also a graduate of Yale, 1773. Then pretty Alice Adams, Nathan Hale's sweetheart, was born it Canter bury, Conneticut, and her father. Col. Adams, who was of New England's glorious contributions to the Revolu tionary cause. The early scenes of the play are laid in New London, Conn. It may not be generally known that the Reverend E. E. Hale, the anthor of "A Man Without a Country' is a grand nephew of the Revolutionary martyr. Sketch of Seton-Tboeipsoa. The following article concerns Mr. Seton-Thompeon, who will deliver two lectures at the Oliver Theatre, Satur day. April Stb, matinee and night: Ernest Seton-Thompson, the distin guished author and lecturer, is about to begin his first lecture tour through the States of the Rocky Mountains and the Pacific Coast, under the management of Major J. B. Pond. For the past two seasons he has been speaking twice a day to eastern audiences in order to supply the demand for his lectures. There have been only two or three other such successes on the lecture platform during the past two decades. Ernest Seton-Thompson looks like a man who has lived much out of doors and shaken himself free of- restraints and conventionalities. Yet he is per fect! at home on the platform and speaks with ease and natural straight forwardness and simplicity that is good to hear. Tall, gaunt, large-framed, with a shock of Jet black hair and a complectkm dark as a Spaniard, one understands after seeing him why his printed portraits look so black. Yet he is not so black as he is painted. Mr. Seton-Thopmqon was recalled from his cabin in the woods of Mani toba to undertake the work of animal illustration for the "Century Diction ary," and is now touring the country as a lecturer, still lives much out of doors. He makes yearly expeditions into the wildernesses, which are not wildernesses to him, because his ani mal friends are there. He also has a big eighty acre tract of land in Connec ticut, where the wild animals ream about in a sort of animal heaven and where not even the sound of a gun is permitted. THE FUNKE. -A Soldier to the King, one of the most successful plays seen in this coun try, comes to the Funke Opera House on Monday night, April 1st, and will be presented by Delia Pricgle and her merry company. It is a stirring, whole some play. Theatre goers positively grow enthusiastic over the great battle scene between the French and the Ger mans, the great duel and scene showing the guiiotine in operation. Great spec ialties will be introduced between each act. A carload of special scenery is used in the producdon. Ladies free tickets Monday night. Seats now on sale. H. W.
