Al | of which is an unconscious compliment to the actor’s art. .= We admire Mr. Miller.

The management promise a very complete presentation of the play. The Aicazar.

How- ever, we are to have a variation in this week's presentation, “A Marriage of Convenience,” in which he will appear as a fiery, eccentric Frenchman—man of the world—fighter and swain. The Tivoli. For the sixtht week of its successful grand opera season the Tivoli will offer two of the most interesting of Italian operas. Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Saturday evenings will be devoted to Verdi's lyric-drama “'Rigoletto’ or “The Fool's Revenge,” with Sig. Maurice de Vries in his great creation of the jes- ter; Rhys Thomas as Duke of Mantua, Sig. Wanrell as Sparafucile, the brigand; Anna Lichter as Gilda, Rigoletto’s daughter nd Mary Linck as the bewitch- sy girl Magdalena. sday, Thursday and Sunday | evenings and at the special Saturday matinee for the first time in many years Donizetti's melodious work ‘‘Lucretia | Borgia” will be sung.

Edgardo Zerni | gallant young soldier Gennaro, and Slvia Crox his lively companion, Maffio Orsinl. The other roles will be in care- ful hands. e th E The Baldwin. Henry Miller during the last week of his engagement at the Baldwin will pre- sent for the first time on Monday evening a comedy of manners, entitled “A Mar- rlage of Convenjence.” It is an adapta- tion from the French by Sydney Grundy seventy-third week that the young man- ager has provided entertainment in this popular theater. Furthermore he has been unusually successful and has won a warm place in the hearts of the people of this city. To close the season he has arranged for the revival of the two most popular comedies presented during this eéngagement, namely “Lost—24 Hours” for the first three nights and the remainder of the week the German comedy, “Num- Nin Additional interest will at- se events by reason of ine re- appearance of Sam Edwards, the big, Jolly comedian, who has been ill for some time, and of Miss Lucille La Verne, who oins the company pcrmrmen(l{;‘ Edward ell will take the part of the broker who went on the awful spree.

Morosco's. “Shall We Forgive Her,” a melodrama, dealing with the social problem from an English standpoint, will be the attraction at Morosco's during the coming week. It was one of Marie Walnwright's tavorite plays and was presented by her at the Columbla early last season. The story is strongly dramatic, vi#ldly portraying the trials of an innocent woman betrayed by her affianced husband, whom she had followed to Australia to wed. She re- turns to England and happily marries a worthy citizen, who finally banishes her when he learns of her misfortune.
