Leaving no room for argument or discussion, the production of the "Karl of Pawtneket" at the Grand last night proved to be a theatrical event that combined the beautifully artistic with the delightfully entertaining. The play, partaking of the best elements in both farce and pure comedy, comes from the pen of Augustus Thomas. To add anything would be superfluous. The presentation is by Kirk LaShelle. For the lines seintilating with true humor by Mr. Thomas and the interpretation of a clever, evenly-balanced company of players, Atlanta theatregoers will rise up and call Mr. LaShelle "the man we have been waiting for." Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution, Feb, 3, 3904. "Alice Xeilsen 's production of 'The Fortune Teller' which is to say the Smith-Herbert operetta in which the fair Alice cut something of a figure five years ago was sung last evening in the Lyceum. Of course the theater was crowded, for the loyal regulars of this house never fail to give ear to every candidate for their favor. The revival is creditable to the present managers, and inasmuch as the scenery, costumes and properties are identical with those of the Xeilsen production it is a 'pretty Edna Bronson, in "The Fortune Teller," at the Gennett Theater. spectacle. The eve being pleased, the battle is more than half won in these times of theatrical glitter and pictorial splendor; but the new east, all things considered,, handles the musical side of the argument with ability. The ultimate result is a performance of distinctive brilliancy and the means to rational and refined pleasure for a multitude of persons. The opera is interpreted by a company numbering forty-five persons, surely a liberal provision; and of a truth the performance suffers little in comparison with that given by Miss Xeilsen and her associates when the venture was new. Among the able principals in the large cast are Edward S. Metcalfe as the Gypsy Sandor; Robert Lett as the acrobatic and mercenary ballet master; Phil Branson as the burlesque comTtli CUSILTS CEIEST Is well expanded.

! llirschberg in the Joe Cawthoi n role of the venerable gypsy father; Miss Grace Orr Myers as- the French prima donna Pompon, and Miss Edna Bronson as Miss Xeilsen's successor in the double part of Irma and Musette. Miss Bronson has a sprightly manner, an agreeable voice, archness, humor, physical grace and a buoyant spirit that carries her untired through three arduous acts, in which she is oh most of the time. Miss Myers is an accomplished singer and a stately figure. Mr. Metcalfe is a basso whose smooth and rich tones and artist method won the instant admiration of his audience. Mr. Baker's ringing tenor found its best expression in the duet with Pompon, 'If People Said the Things They Meant.' Mr. llirschberg is a mellow comedian with the kind of selfcommand that enables him to face superlatively absurd situations with unconquerable solemnity. The chorus and ballet are well disciplined, and the very spirit of mischievous mirth dominates the performance in all its stages. Altogether 'The Fortune Teller' is the most meritorious as well as the most pretentious offering of the season by the Lyceum management. Detroit Free Press. "Finer 'en Silk." The most pleasing musical comedy that has ever visited Kichmond was presented at the Gennett theater last night. The term "most pleasing" is made in the broadest sense, not that the vocalists were the best; for other musical comedies can boast of artists of greater renoun than those that composed the cast of the "Isle of Spice," but none that gave better satisfaction. Harry Kelley, Duncan Ma ley, Toby Lyons, Mr. Armstrong, Ben Grinnell, Florence Haywood, Leslie Leigh, Mattie Marty and Lisle Bloodgood, of the principals, were all good. Among the vocal numbers worthy of special mention were "Too-hoo Too-hoo, ' ' " You and I, " " Peggy Brady," "Mercenary Mary Ann" and the "Goo, Goo-Man." All were criven enthusiastic recalls. Tlie chorus work was especially good, and the stage pictures were extremely beautiful. Those who visited the "Isle of Spice" last night will long enjoy pelasant memories of the evening's delights, but it is to be reirretted that more did not "git on" the first and balcony floors. While an ordinary attraction would be satislied with a fair house, the "Isle of Spice" was not, and, with the larg company carried, -could not remain on the road if such audiences greeted he piece many nights in succession. Should the "Isle of Spice" return Ihe Gennett would not be large enough to contain the crowd. X. B. Don't make another mistake this week by failing jo see "The Fortune Teller." The plat is now open and the "wise ones" will secure seats earlv. "Two Merry Tramps," Wood and Ward's big farce comedy, is not an experiment but an assured success as demonstrated by a forty-three weeks' tour during the past season. Other countries have their outcsfs and vagiaries, but none of then have anything like the American tramp. He is an oddity and inimitable in his originality and nerve. The "Thoroughbred Tramp" is the King Bee of them all. lie '11 hang out at the Gennett next Saturday, matinee and night.

Bob Fitzsimmons, once champion heavy weight, is back from Peoria, where a dentist completed an artistic job of filling 1()2 cavities in the pugilist's teeth with diamonds. The diamons are for the most part invisible, but in one respect the admiring dentist let his enthusiasm run away with the necessities of the case. On three of the teeth a device has been set in small stones. On one tooth is the figure "3," on another the letter "T," and on the third a "C," indicating the phrase, "three times chapion." Red Robert says he is looking for a bodyguard to protect his diamonds from strong-arm men while in the world's fair cit. Don't miss the clearance sale of D. P. Armer's Westcott hotel jewelry store.
