NEXT TUESDAY
Yirtunly au entirely now version of
"Tho Alaskan," a musical comedy of
-superior merit, will bo tho attraction
jit tho Medford theater next Thurs
day night. This is tho snmo produc
tion which run for five coiiBecutivo
months in Chicago, tho past sum
Tnor, nnd comes to Medford in its new
dress nnd with Chicago's strong
stamp of nprovut written plainly nil
over it It is now n bright, cherry
entertainment, full of crisp, clean,
snappy dialogue, fresh humor of tho
twentieth cc'tnry vintage, and, as
tho book in its entirety has been re
written carefully, many new somrs
interpolated nnd a thoroughly com
petent compnny, it is sure to bo n.
wclcomo visitor nnd n popular offer
ing. . ,
Tho story in brief, concerns Rich
ard Atwntcr, a young miner who has
been grub-staked by a wealthy east
erner. Atwater's claim is on tho
Tcrgo of playing out when a letter
arrives stating that his benefactor
lias died, leaving one-half of tho
mine to his daughter Arlee, and that
shp, with a party of friends, will
como to Alaska. Tho party arrives
about as quickly as tho letter. At
wnter faills in lovo with his partner,
but the failure with the claim makes
it impossible to declare his love. A
discovery of a rincft vein of gold,
nnd the sale of tho mine, brings
wealth and" happiness nnd weddings
"bells join in the finale. '
Tile present production is full of
novel, exclusive surprises, and the
much heralded "Snowball" song is a
strong feature. Richard Carroll, Gus
Wcinbnrg, Detraar Poppen, John R
Phillips, Sidney Algiers, Jessie Ston
cr, Ella Lockhnrt, Alice Kenn, Mar
cell Scott, and a large chorus, go to
complete, probably the, strongest
lnugh producing combination to visit
us this season.
A brand new revised edition of
"Tho Alaskan," now made over into
n genuine fun-making musical me
lange, will bo tho atraction at the
Medford theater next Thursday.
"Tho Alnsknn" ha? not been seen
hero before in its present form. I
comes to us now from n phdnominal
fivo months run in Chicago, where
tho entire press of that city lauded
it as " tho bullicst musical show seen
thore in years." Mannger Wm. P.
Cullcn, who has given us innny b"'1
things, namely: "The Burgomaster"
and "The Tenderfoot," is the produc
er, and he has been especially happy
in tho foramtion of tho presont com
pany. Tho complete Chicago produc
tion intact, will be brought here.
Richard P. Carroll and Gus VTein
burg are rcsopnsible for mnny of the
new, novel surprises nnd exclusive
features with which "Tho Alaskan"
fairly bristles, and in tho part ot
Walt8ingham Watts, a stranded the
atrical manager, Carroll has a part
oxactly suited to his peculiar tnjent.
Gus Weinburg as Professor Kniclo
fljion, is prominent amongst the fun--raokers
and is given nmplo opoprtuni
ty to extract many laughs, with the
aid of his "laughing powder" not
saying anything about his natural
spontaneous humor. Detmar Poppen
will be welcomed as Toten Pole Pete
-while John R. Phillips will show his
splendid voice to advantage as Rich
ard Atwater. Jessie Stoner ns Ar
loo Easton, Aliceo Kean ns Mrs.
Good oBtter Best; Etta Lockhnrt as
Kuko, an Esquirao child of nature;
also Fairy Plumb as La Lu La; not
forgotting Sidnoy Algiers in the now
famous character of Snowball, the
Polar Bear, will, all bo welcomed.
Tho many now musical interpolations,
including "Snowballing." in which
tho entire nudieenco tnkes part nnd
tho sclf-samo audience is allowed to
-polt back. "Laughing Powders," 'Hi
3Ii Ili," "Tho Face of the Girl I Love"
tmd twenty other odd song hits of
last season, including "My Totora
Polo." The largo chorus of Esquimo
girls and miners is again a Btrong
factor in this season's organization.

Joyed Last Year Is Again
Richard Carroll
In "The Alaskan."
Whose acting last year was
of the mo3t attarctlvo features ot
production.
No nlay of the great west ever pre
seated upon the stage huf achieved
the enormous success of "In yom
iug," which comes to the Medford
theater Tuesday, December USMh.
No drama so true in constructive I
progress, so life-like in emotion! fi
delity; so deep in pathos, nnd so rich
in quaint humor has been given to
the public in mnny years. City after
'city has fallen captive to its fascin
ations, nnd countless audiences have
been half spell-bound by the witch
ery of its homely truth In the title
role, Mr. Willard Mack has found
the most emphatically suitable medi
um for his remarkable talents since
his nppcarnnco upon the stage. Tfio
accuracy of his portrayal, together
with the native nbility he brings to
his work, have united in producing nn
entirely new couccutioii of pure Am
erican drama. Tho unanimous np-
'proval of tho press, nnd the unstint
ed appreciation of tho public has re
one suited in a eulogy unique in dramatic
tho annals, which nttcst tho worth of this
extraordinary offering
