"Sweet Kitty Bellairs'' the new comedy by David Belasco, which that noted playwright-manager will 'present at the Gennett Nov. 20, is one of tbat celebrated author's best efforts. It opens with a prologue, and iff tho four acis which follow, the varied scenes are described as emotional and highly dramatic, but not to the extent of overcrowding the comedy element, which is always prominent and well sustained. "Sweet Kitty Bellairs." is a born flirt, typical of a kind of woman who has lived in all ages, who delight in toying with men's hearts, only to cast them aside until she herself falls under the spell of the tender passion;
when she becomes a true woman, who

in
"Quincy Adams Sawyer." There is none of the sort of pathos, now deemed mock sentiment, in the great rural drama "Quincy Adams Sawyer.'.' In fact it would be very hard to pick out from the prompt book of this play any lines that could be classed as "sentimental." Yet there is sentiment in plenty in this most popular of New England dramas and mighty good and true sentiment it is, too. . The blind girl, who is the centre of much of the dramatic interest, is a most, is a most appealing figure, yet she neither mopes nor whines. It is by personality that she appeals
rand the sentiment that surounds her
is the natural outgrowth of situation and conditions and noUthe provision of the playwright. When the play is presented at the Gennett, Nov. 2S, matinee and night, it will repay the observer of such things to note the entire absence of the trite and mackneyed sentimental touches.
"Faust." The Porter J. White Company, presenting Goethe's immortal "Faust" is booked to appear at the Gennett, Nov. 30, matinee and night. The character of Marguerite is entrusted to the care of Miss Olga Verne and she proves thoroughly worthy. Miss -Verne' acts the part and -looks it, she. makes up beautifully, she is graceful, ingenious, sweetly innocent . and .possesses a fine voice. Altogether she is indeed an ideal Marguerite. . Miss Verne is supj6rted by a most excellent company of fifteen metropolitan players including Wm. Richards, .who is said to be all that can be. desired in' his presentation of -"his Satanic majesty;" The scenic effects are the best and complete; settings . are- carried .for sijc acts. "Heart of Chicago.' ;Llncoln J. Carter's ','Heart of Chicago"' will be seen at the, Gennett . Nov. 27. The play, needs no' introduction to local theatre goers and' conies here this season with the best cast that has

Francis Macmillen. In the coming of Francis Macmillen the great American violinist to this city this (Monday) evening, music lovers are assured of a rare treat. Cer
tainly no artist in recent years has met with such sensational success as this young man, who in four years has jumped from comparative obscurity to an undisputed position among the greatest of modern virtuosos. In fact many of the most competent critics of the world have placed him alone on the top rung of the violinistic ladder. The rise of this young American read3 like a romance.. , His,. debut in London is said to make an epoch in the musical 'history of the British metropolis. Only recently he gave three recitals. at: Queens hall; London, each time to packed houses, a record that has not v been equalled there by any-artist in the past three years.
