THEATRICAL Among the more desirable theatri cal offerings of the year is Klirt & Gazzolo's production of "Big Hearted Jim," a drama by William L. Roberts with a far western locale. The leading part and the play stir the American heart in particular, but the big, honest Montana sheriff, Jim Saxon, appeals to everybody, as he is the hero of all in his community. There are two ambuscade scenes in the play and many quick, intense, thrilling situations, but all sickly, sentimental and cheap sensational clap trap has been eliminated. "Big Hearted Jim" is strong, vigorous, genuine, with an abundance of romance and lots of good fun. A varied group of interesting characters surround the leading figure and are played by a company of players with a determination to keep the entire production up to a high standard. "Big Hearted Jim" comes to the Towle opera house, Sunday, April 21. Sixty, actually sixty, is the number of people who will be seen in Buster Brown at the Towle opera house in the near future. "A light, pleasing and musical entertainment in every way superior to most of the so-called musical comedies," is what one of the foremost critics said about Buster Brown, which is among the early bookings at the Towle opera house. Buster Brown in its latest form with a complete outfit of new songs and dances and a number of novelties is easily maintaining its popularity of last season. The march of the Bobby Burn's Brigade in the first act of Buster Brown soon to be seen at the Towle opera house is conceded to be the most difficult and intricate ever presented on the stage. In its execution are employed twenty-four young ladies who in order to become thoroughly familiar with it rehearsed ten weeks. For this march over one hundred girls were tried before the requisite number were sec u redMaster Helton, the ideal Buster in Buster Brown, accompanied by his faithful dog Tige, and assisted by three score singers and dancers is among the early bookings at the Towle opera house. The threatened strike of cooks and stewards on the lakes has been settled. They all get a raise. Fire destroyed the principal business section of the town of Hastings. Ont. Loss, $80,000. Seismographs at Berkeley. Cal.; near Philadelphia; Albany, X. Y.; Vienna, Austria, and namburg, Potsdam, Goettingen and Jena, Germany, recorded severe earthquakes yesterday. One Italian was killed and ten others injured in a railway collision near Philadelphia.
