Meats, Siiis^e McHenry - Illinois McVicker's Theatre. The last two weeks of Otis Skinner's engagement at McVicker's theatre are announced, the run of the newest play "Prince Otto" ending Saturday, May 19. Mr. Skinner's success both as author and actor has been of the most pro­ nounced type. He has given the public a play that is clean and pure and at the same time intensely interesting. It has comedy, sentiment, dramatic intensity, and is moreover blessed with a story that runs stright from the opening to the closing of the play. Of Mr. Skin­ ner's personal work too much cannot be s ud. He is id ;aily fitted in the title part and has made the success of his life in the role. His superb voice, sweet and musical as a silver bell when used in the tender passages of the play, rises to tremendous power in the moments of passion. The picturesque costumes of the Prince show well on Mr. Skinner and altogether he is charming. The company surrounding him is made up of well-known actors among whom are Nannette Comstock, Grace Filkins, Maud Durbin, William H. Pascoe, Frank L. Sylvester and E. A. Eberle. The scenic features of the production are beautiful to look upon and the cos­ tumes. made in the style of 1820 are quaint and exquisitely pretty. One of the most extraordinary scenes ever presented on the stage is that of the avalanche in the last act of "Hearts are Trumps," the big melodrama which will follow Otis Skinner at McVicker's theatre, opening an extended engage­ ment there Tuesday night. May 22. The scene shows a portion of the Alpine heights with deep ravines and fearful crevasses. Over these rude wooden bridges are thrown and all" Through the scene parties of tourists, lashed together and carrying Alpine sticks travel over the perilous paths. The chief villain tries to push the heroine over the cliff but her loveiv swings from the opposite side of the ravine and saves her just as an avalanche sweeps down from farther heights and carries the villian to a well- earned destruction.

T h e tremendous business that made it necessary to erect such an establishment is the result of new ideas applied to the coftee busi­ ness. C. F. Blanke was the first man in the United States to blend coffees solely with regard to their drinking quality in the cup, rather than follow the old formulas of so much " Mocha" and so much "Java." There are good,medium, and poor Mochas and Javas, the same as there are good, medium and poor California fruits. That is the reason other coffees are not uniform. Blinke scientifically blends every lot of coffee to produce a drinking quality exactly like " it has always been." " Faust Blend " is his highest grade. Blanke's other brands are as good proportionately. The C. F. Blanke Tea and Coffee has secured the fo liewiii agencies who will handle their celebrated teas and ccr GILBERT BROS., McHenry O. W. CAKL.
