With its distinct air of originality, magnificent scenic environment and presouted by a good company, tho "King of tho Opium King'' should moot with tho same phenomenal suc cess hero tonight that attended Its pres entation elsewhere. The play, based as it is on life in the real Chinatown of the country, and the way one thrill fol lows another, Is enough to satisfy all who crave for 9onsations. There are so many thrills that it necessitates work of no less than four heroes to meet tho emergencies and foil tho machina tions of the villains, who attempt to make away with the American girl through the medium of opiuui. There is so much in the play that is sightly and picturesque, so much that is novel, amusing and instructive, such rapid movement, so generous a provision of unquestionably strong action, that ono may venture upon emphasis in pro claiming its merits. An exceptionally strong cast has been secured, headed by the California actress, Helen liar graves. X t 4 There is ono scene in "Uncle Terry," the comedy drama recently dramatiz ed from Charles Clark Mnun's success ful novel, which is bound to attract attention on account of tho ingenuity displayed in its construction. The prologuo, in which not a word is spoken, is referred to. A shipwreck at sea, preceded by a storm, is decided with a vividness which is said to be absolutely startling. Tho mechanical and electri cal effects used in tho prologue as well as tho scenery used in the succeeding acts were arranged especially for this production and are transported from town to town in special cars. James 11. Waite is starring in "Uncle Terry" under the management of Harry D. Orahamc. The piece is booked for presentation at the Grand opera house on Wednesday evening, coming hero from the Nosbitt theatre, Wilkesbarre. t t X The theme from which the play "Madeline of Fort Reno," was taken is from actual scenes and incidents that occured in, and about, old Fort Reno. Tho story centers around the life of pretty Madeline Hartman, daughter of the old settler and Indian fighter, John Hartman, whose name and bravery lias been recorded in the historical writ ings of the old period. The cast of players selected, for their ability and correctness of stature to impersonate the characters asigned them, could not ho better. The production will bo giv en here with the same big cast, scenery, properties and effects that it enjoyed during its Npw York engagement. Firemen in Philadelphia.
