Few authors have left the stamps of their minds so clearly impressed on their works as he has done. He gives what youth desires -an overflowing heart, daring thoughts and speedy deeds; he tells of what youth loves best -of knighte and maidens, romantic stories and adventures; he mingles wit and humor with these, but not to so great a degree that the softer ground tone is disturbed.

Missouri Girl" at the Opera House This Evening One of the brightest things in the theatrical firmament that has cropped out of late years is Fred Raymond's domestic play, "The Missouri Girl," which depicte principally the country girl in Southwest Missouri during the exciting times when lead and zinc ore was being discovered in large quantities in nearly every farmer's door yard or corn field. Raymond has diecovered an entire one, the set of ordinary stage run characters, of those that are usually out found in plays of this class. The plot ig interesting and keeps the audience spellbound natural from start to finish. The comedy is and not forced, and is excru: ciatingly funny. A number of original ideas are brought out in such a way as to bring forth an immenee amount of laughter.

The scenery used in the production was reproduced from photographe taken in the picturesque Ozark mountaine, the principal lead and zine mining districts in the world. At the opera house this evening, Wednesday, February 20. A typical Hoyt farce, with all the latest fun, presented in a manner to suit the popular taste, is "A Day and a Night." The company presenting the merry edy is said to be fully equal to the requirements of the play, The story rethe exploits of a very modest New Jersey youth during a day and a night in New York while in search of voices for the village choir. His father, a commodore of the United States navy and a thoroughbred, is disgusted with the milk-and-water character of his conscience-stricken boy and determines to effect change, 80 be arranges that his son shall meet a lot of comic opera eing. ere.

In the eubsequent scenes his son displays true sporting proclivities, and seta a pace that meets the complete approbation of the parent, who, in the final act, is discovered in company with his son and a lot of chorus girle at a late supper, by his sanctimonious wife. The denouement is very clever. At the opera house Thursday evening. "The Governor's Son," the successful new musical farce on which those versatile comedians, the Four Cohane, are starring, has been staged under the direction of R. A.

Roberta, who has officiated in the same capacity tor some of the biggest and most notable productions of recent years. In none, however, has his genius for stage management been better displayed than in this new piece of the Cohans, which will introduce those prime favorites as full-fledged stars on Febrary 22, at the opera house, matinee and night. While it is a known fact that the Vanity Fair company in the past been the best burlesque show en tour, still this season it is promised to eclipse all previous efforte and a glance at the following vaudeville artiste goes far to prove the assertion. Tne Three Savane, comedy acrobate, head the list, followed by Swift and Huber, black face diane and musical entertainere, assisted by the singing dog "Blootch;" Sullivan and Inman, well known Irish monologuists and singers; John and Lillian Hoover, change artiete and jugglers; Ed and Rolla White in bag punching and athletes; Kessner and Reid, acrobatic songs and dances; Margie Teabeaa, pleasing comediene, and Bessie Stanton in startling sensational poses aided by electrical effects. "Vanity Fair" will be at the opera house next Saturday afternoon and evening.
