Extensive preparations are being made lor the presentation of Rloe's Surprise Party in the big ope ratio bxtravagansa "1492," whioh oooara on Monday evening at Naylor's opera house. "1492" has proved a marvelous saooess and its history Binoe it has been interpreted by Rloe'a Surprise Party has been that of

an uninterrupted run of three years continuously in New York and two years in Boston. Mr. Rice's former great successes, "Adonis" and "Evangeline," are clearly outstripped by this produo tion. The organization is one of the largest ever brought here, as it numbers over 60 people, including it* own orchestra. The artistio success of the enterprise has been made more of an attempt than the fiaanaial. "1492" is a story of disoovery of this country by Columbus and the theme permits of the introduction of the most elaborate scenie display. This has happily bedn taken advantage of and Its humor is so pointed as to con tain laughter in every line. The muslo is pretty and of a charaoter known as popular, while the novelties and specialties in ballets, The Tramp, oharmlng Queen Isabella, The Fraulein, and The Ohapples are exceedingly novel and clever. One known as "DMly Hints from Paris" has achelved particular re

nown. The cast embraces artists who were received with particular success in New York and Boston. Local theatergoers are thoroughly assured that they

Edward Milton Roy la's suooessful oomedy drama, "Friends," will be presented for the first time in this city on next Wednesday evening, Deo. fith. "Friends" is a combination of light comedy of the genteel sort and oldfashioned melo-drama. The story is epitomized by the euthor thus: John Paden, Jr., oast off by his father because of his determination to adopt literature for a profession and make his own way in the world, and Adrian Karje, a poor pianist, are warm friends. Both love Marguerite Otto, an opera Binger, who turns ont to be a titled heiress. She is a step-daughter of Hans Otto, a drunkard and opium flend, who has aorime to hide. Karje wins Marguerite's love but Harold Huntington, a director of the Metropolitan opera house, and a scheming villain, learns Hans Otto's secret, makes all believe that Marguerite was the result of an illegal marriage, and for a time keeps the lovers apart. Young Paden hides his love for Marguerite, sacrifices himself on the altar of friendship and fights

for his friends, Adrian and Marguerite. The hardships of Adrian Karje and John Paden are surrounded by a reokless humor and a modest manliness. Around this theme is woven a story of such beauty and such intense dramatio interest, that sentiment naturally and agreably loses Itself in the oharaoters whioh are made to stand out boldly. The life is the life of to-day, and the soene is New York. The death of Hans Otto, the reconciliations of Paden, Jr., with his father, the marriage of Marguerite and Adrain after Earje has won fame as a pianist, and many other bright

In faot, the the performance "Is up to the times" in every respect.

The grand finale entitled "Aladdin," introducing the entire strength of the oompany, is by far the most ambitious effort ever seen in modern minstrelsy. All in all, the performance to be given by Al Field's oompany oan be looked forward to by our theater goers with muoh anticipated pleasure.
