Miss Illllmun did clever work In the role ot Marion Dale and among tho veiy excellent members of her sup porting company were J. M. Donavln, W. II. Barwald, J. J. Coogan, Florence Pulton and W. A. Dllllon. Incidental to the play specialties were introduced by Marie Rogers, who sang seven al songs very acceptably; W. A. Dllllon, an entertaining Irish comedian, and the California trio of acrobats. The company's enncert orchestra, under the direction of Professor J. P. Hansen, rendered the music between the acts. The company gives an evening's en tertainment that Is duplicated In quali ty and variety by few of the reper toire company's now before tho public. This afternoon "Charity Bess" will be the bill, and tonight "The Now South." Last ot the Course, The tenth and last entertainment ot of the Brockway course was given nt the Lyceum last evening to a large and fashionable audience. The entertainers were Van Vcachton Rogers, harpist, nnd Charles T. Grllley, recltatlonlst. Mr. Rogers proved himself n thorough master of the harp, the volume of tone elicited and tho crystalline clearness ot his arpeggios being remarkable. He was especially successful in variations upon the air "Old Black Joe," with Imitations of a banjo. Mr. Grllley, who bears a strong facial resemblance to Roland Reed, is one of the best entertnlners that has ever ap peared In this city. He gave a num ber of recitations Involving the por trayal of many different charaotcis, nil of which ho represented success fully In voice nnd manner. The course as a whole has uecn very successful this season, nnd " Is hoped that enough interest may be taken by Its patrons to Insure Its continuation next winter. "The Crack-a-Jacks." One of the best, If not the best, ot companies that have appeared at the Gaiety theatre this season Is now play ing a three dajs' engagement at that popular house. "The Crack-a-Jack Burlesquers" have demonstrated that It Is possible to please an audience even in Scranton by a clean and meri torious performance that Is marked by the absence of obscene Jokes nnd Inane attempts to create mirth by local hits. The curtaln-rulser Is a musical farce, In which Miss Legender, the LjtIo star; Miss Irene Young, dancing spe cialist, and Miss Louise Von Woel lener, tho Viennese nightingale and yodler, assisted by a chorus of fresh voices, gave a delightful season of melodj. In the second review, the trick bicyclist, Snyder, gave a marvelous ex hibition on tho wheel: A. II, Weston appeared in new English songs, which were heartily encored, and the fun makers of the tiou;ie, tho McDonald brotheis, were seen to good advantage in a laughable specialty. Miss Hello Wilton, descilptlve vocalist, Introduced Paul Dresser's latest songs with great success. Tho only real tedious number on the programme came In this pait in the rliape of one of tho usual "scope" ei les of pictures, supposed to represent the Dixon and McGovcrn flght.etc. The closing review Is a burletta, called the "Drummer's Paiadlse," which sparkles with wit and brlsht music. "Tho Crack-a-Jncks" will be at the Galetv today and tomorrow, afternoon and evening. "A Milk White Flag." Hoyt's "A Milk White Flag" will again wave for the amusement and gratification of theater-goers. It conies to us this season re-wrltten und up to the times, replete with military hits, and containing good natured satire in profusion. A now diess of scenery has been provided and the costuming is spick nnd span, and ns for musical number and specialties, It Is promised that manj novel surprises will be given. For the past few seasons "A Milk White Flag" has won a large clientage and tho management has always kept faith with the public by providing them with a first class entertainment and one of novel and surprising feat ures. The company of fifty people Is a strong one and contains a laige number of farce favorites, and Includes sevetal members who have become fast favotltes In their respective roles. This attraction will be at the Lyceum to night. Kelcey-Shannon Company. Undoubtedly the most thrilling and Intensely dramatic situation of Clyde Fitch's great society diama, "The Moth and the Flame," which comes to tho Lyceum Thursday, Is that of the marriage in high life. It represents a splendid church wedding In one of the most exclusive and aristocratic of New York parishes, whete the vlllian ous groom Is suddenlv confionted h, tho woman he has wionged, tho wife he has deseited, and when there, at the foot of the altar, as she denounces him, strikes her a cowardly blow and fells Iter to the floor. This, however, is only one of a ssiIot of suprcmelj Interesting climaxes, ev erj one of which shows the genius of tho playwright. Mr. Herbert Kelcey and Miss Eftle Shannon, who will play the leading toles, will be seen to greater ndvnntane In "Tho Moth and tho Flame" than In any of the New York Lyceum Theatre productions In which thej' have hetetofoie appealed. "The Moth and the Flame" will be seen In Its entlietj', with all the splendid sceneiy and costumes, und the oilglnal cast, as first presented at the Lyceum for a period of 125 nights last season. "Mile. Fin" Friday Night. Filday night "Mile. Fill" will bo pie scntcd at the Lj count. The Miners' Journal, of Pottsvllle, saj's: "Those who wero at the Academy last night had tho foi tunc ot witness ing tho pioductlon of an exquisite Frenclt comedy, 'Mile. Fill,' by the Pilar-Morin companj-. It was a com edy of the very highest order, tinged with a Parisian atmosphere, but with nothing to offend American Ideas ot morality. There was throughout the play some deliclously funny situations, nnd tho presentation was in decidedly skillful hands, tho company being composed ot comedians of a very high order."
