The neAv “Railroad lack,’ ’the great comedy success, will make its first appear ance at the Metropolian Opera House Thursday night, January 14. and no doubt will be accorded a welcome second to none. The company is beaded by that dainty singing ami dancing soibrette. Miss Ma delon Caufman, and Jas DeNoyer, charac- ter comedian, with an adequate support na<l the superb scenic surroundings of the production could not help but make a deep impression. The play is mounted in a most elaborate manner, the stage set tings being in keeping with the ideas. The most sensational scene ever presented by a traveling company, a lady thrown in to a lion’s den and rescued by the tramp in full view of the audience. Prices 25, 50 and 75 cents. The Gay Mr. Goldstein. “The Gay Mr. Goldstein,” which is to be presented at the Metropolitan Opera Houe for a special matinee and night, Saturday, January ICth, is a clever com edy production and not only a clean, clear-cut parkling novelty, free from even the suggestion of offensive lines, but is preseuteu by a company that is stronger on all points than the majority of the farce comedy companies now pairing the country. The name of the play might in dicate that the attraction was in the na ture of a burlesque of the modern Jew. Such is not the case. The character of Mr. Goldtsein is really the only Jew in the play, and the part is played without the traditional whiskers, and even without a suggestion of Hebrew dialect. 'The Gay Mr. Goldstein” is considered by Manager Daily as a fitting vehicle in which to introduce as a star, Mr. Harry Stubbs, who for several years past has been considered the leading “stock” comed ian of America. For the last three sea sons he has been the shining light of the celebrated Dearborn Stock Company of Chicago. His supporting company has been selected v. r ith great care. A feature of this performance will be the introduc tion of up-to-date vaudeville features at fitting intervals. His Excellency the Governor. At (he Metropolitan Opera House on Tuesday night, 19th.

It scored an initial run of one hundred performances at the Lyceum Theatre in New York, continu ing until the accession of the heated term compelled its temporary cessation, only to be reproduced at the Empire Theatre the following autumn and achieve there a fur ther run of more than two hundred nights. Miss Martinot was identified with the play at the time of its initial success, and now has the sole rights for its production, and under the management of Mr. Jules Murry, is gaining with “His Excellency the Governor” throughout her extended tour the same distinguished favor accord ed it in the metropolis.
