AFTER an absence <^f two years The Henrietta will again be seen in Chicago This piece, by Bronson Howard, who is to-day recognized as the best dramatist in America, is probably his most success­ ful comedy.. In the early days The Banker's Daughter was considered a phe­ nomenally successful piece. Since that time he has given to America The Henri ©tta, Shenandoah, and other comedies almost as good. The probabilities are. however, that The Henrietta will continue to prove the strongest drama that Bron son Howard has ever written, and will be ibr some years the best drawing piece financially that has ever been seen in America. Mr. Robson will bring to the Chicago Opera House a company com poeed of the best people in their line of business to be found.

THE success of Captain Fracassa at the Chicago Opera House is so pronounced that the new opera has been witnessed s6 far by a succession of large audiences whose enthusiasm has been marked This addition to the already excellent repertoire of the McC tull Company, is most welcome at this time. In Captain Fracassa, this well balanced organization finds a iqost excellent vehicle for the dis­ play of its resources and capabilities The music of Captain Fracassa is most pleasing. It is so involved that it can not be appreciated thoroughly by people other than experts. "Captain Fracassa' is an opera comiqne of a popular type, and it undoubtedly has before it an era of pronounced succe-s. Its scenes are of that brilliant order that please the eye, Its costumes are picturesque and bright, and its action is so rapid that it keeps the spectator on the qui-vive for some­ thing new and startling.
