All Next Week at the Ellis Theatre.

Cash Tomlinson and his own company gave an excellent presentation of “The Game of Life” as their opening bill at the Alcazar last night. The plky is on that requires acting of the best class to be effective, but the company left no room for criticism ] and every person in the audience left the theater more than pleased, and declared the production to be the best seen in this city for several seasons. , Cash Tomlinson, one of the best men in stock, needs no introduction to an Indiana audience. He has been seen heretofore with the best stock companies appearing in the state, and has never failed, to be a great attraction in any city. This season he has his own company and is to be congratulated on the excellent talent that he has secured.

Mr. Tomlinson has no equal as a stock character man. He has a style of his own, which wins his audience 'from the very first. His voice, as well as his general manner, is that of an actor rarely seen in repertoire. His impersonation of “Tim Mayo,” the successful Western gambling house keeper, yet an honest and “good as gold” man, willing to sacrifice money, ambition and honor for the good of his daughter, was most pleasing, v Miss Eodia Sitzer, the little leading lady of the company, is a new one to the Newcastle audiences, However, she is one of the best actresses ever seen on the local stage and is just such a star as should be in a company surrounding Mr. Tomlinson. Her presentation of Tim Mayo’s daughter could not be bettered, and won the hearty approval of the audience. Miss Maud Renal do and Miss Kathleen' Hall are also excellent characters and deserve special mention. Guy L. Baech made a genuine western sport and threw all the vim possible into his part, Lawrence Finch made an excellent secretary and detective, and Carl Fleming was a good crooked politician. Tonight the company will present the “Wolfe,” which will be seen for the first time in stock. The plaiy is a very strong one that has been presented all over the country by special Companies for several seasons with great success. The Cash Tomlinson players are well fitted to their parts and will without a doubt give a fine presentation of the wellknown play. —The Daily Courier, Newcastle, Ind.
