THEATRICAL.
At the Academy.
Last night tho Shea company gave
a very fine presentation of a "Tale of
Two Cities" nt the Academy of Music.
This afternoon the "Slaves of Sin"
will bo presented nnd tonight "Tho
Hells."
Saturday afternoon, a "Tale of Two
Cities" will be repeated, and Saturday
night "Man-o-Wnr's Man" will bo tho
attraction.
Bon Ton Burlesquers.
The performances given by the Ideal
Ron-Ton Burlesquers nt the Gaiety yes
terday were In tho class entitled to
designation ns "warm members." From
start to finish tho features were up to
the limit In certain lines and calculated
to more than satisfy the blase occu
pant of tho front row.
Tho company contains some of the
most tnlented artists In their line that
have appeared In the Gaiety this sea
son. Tho humor of the entertainment
wns well represented by Larry Smith
nnd Eddie Shnyne, who kept tho audi
ence In continuous laughter whenever
they nppeared on the stage. The vocal
selections of Miss Viola Sheldon were
pleasing features of tho programme.
Miss Sheldon has a voice much super
ior to the average heard In the bur
lesque. Miss Champion, who Is one of
tho handsomest soubrettes on tho rond,
was excellent, especially In her act with
Larry Smith, entitled "Hunting a Hus
band." Welland, the Juggler, who prob
ably has few equals, Introduced Sev
ern! novelties In his turn. The chorus
wns good and beautifully costumed.
Tho performance closes with a racy
burlesque, entitled "A Run for Your
Money," which Is one of the funniest.
Tho Bon-Tons will be at the Gaiety for
the balnnce of the week, afternoon and
evening.
"The Sorrows of Satan."
The story of the devil on earth Is the
theme of the startling dramatization
of Marie CorelU's famous novel pro
duced this season hy William A. Brady.
While tho Idea of the devil appearing
upon tho earth Is not entirely new, for
Goethe has pictured It before, his char
acter Is absolutely original with Mnrle
Corel!!. In making tho Spirit of Evil
follow the example of his Divine Mas
ter the author has not written Irrever
ently, the story being told In nn abso
lutely Irreproachable manner und with
deep religious fervor.
It will have all the requisite scenery,
which Is of a gorgeous nature, tho lead
ing scones representing a fete de
champetre, employing nearly one
thousand electric lights, a moonlit con
servatory and the deck of a yacht
storm-tossed at sea. It will be the
attraction at the Lyceum theater this
and Saturday evenings nnd nt a Satur
day matinee.
"The Highwayman."
The scenes of "The Highwayman,"
to be presented nt the Lyceum Monday
night, are written In an ntmosphere of
wayside Inns, lonely country roads and
pastd'ral glades, when gentlemen at tho
beginning of the century comforted
themselves with the philosophy that If
hanging were a bad fate, starvation
was worse and, therefore, resorted to
robbery as a fine art when luck was
against them.
It Is n genuine comic opera, bubbling
over with fun and infectious music
nnd gorgeously mounted. It Is con
sistently musical and artistic through
out and does not drop to extravaganza.
Excelled by None.
Among repertoire companies none
stand higher In public estimation thnn
Aubreys' Dramatic company. It con
tains the most talented people In the
theatrical profession, Including some
clever specialty artists whose various
"turns" are unequalled. The company
presents a repertoire of successful
dramas, comedies and farce-comedies
that have held the boards In New York
and other large cities. No play Is re
peated, so that patrons will have vari
ety enough to suit nil tastes.
The company will be at the Academy
of Music all next week nnd on Monday
night "The Land of the Living" will
be presented. There will be n change
of specialties and handsome costumes
nt every performance. Special ladas'
tickets will be distributed for the open
Ing night, which can be exchanged
without extra charge at the box olllce
up to 6 d, m. Monday.
"Hearts of Oak."
The Lyceum will have on Tuesflay,
Dec. 12, a typo of melodrama that Is
altogether too uncommon In these days
In "Hearts of Oak." one of James A.
Heme's earliest and best plays. Tn
"Hearts of Oak" Is a story of love and
self-sacrifice plainly, yet eloquently
told, and a spirit of homely heroism
pervades the whole play.
In the company are E. P. Sullivan.
j Thomas M. Hunter, Nat Jones, James
iiorne, tua Hamilton, Eliot Enneklng.
Marie Adair and Margaret Cecil. A
special feature of tho presentation will
be the singing of some good music by
the "Hearts of Oak" quartette.
