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.
