Annie Hughes will shortly be seen sus- taining the chief character In a new piece, entitled "The Finishing Touch." to be pro- duced by Frank Curzon about Easter, under the personal direction of the author. An American drama, In four acts, en- titled "The Convict's Daughter," will be produced at the Grand Theatre, Islington, on March 7, His Majesty's Theatre, Johannesburg, U giving a benefit performance of "The Country Girl" (tola is the last week In town of this popular organization) Wednesday afternoon, mid the Empire Palace Music Hall, In con- junction with the Sass Nelson Comedy Co. and Leonard Bayne Dramatic Co., are giving a per- formance on Saturday next In aid of the same worthy fund.

LUND, Known as the "Native Daughter of the Gold- en West," Is a product of which that Bectton of the country can justly boast. Although still to her teens she has been before the foot- lights for seven consecutive years, and has lost only one week during this long and con- tinuous service. Her first appearance In pub- lic was upon the Orpheum circuit, and, al- though she was then only a tot, she quickly became a "headltoer." Between her engage- ments during this period Bhe also appeared in London and France, where she achieved dis- tinct triumphs. Despite her youth, Babe Lund possesses a well developed contralto voice, clear and of extended register, her enunciation being one of the salient qualities of her work. She has aided in winning suc- 27 18 cess for many popular songs, contributing t 10 19 the fame of such ditties as "The Bambo to boo Tree," "Congo Love Bone," "Clean Hnnds and Tainted Gold" and other numbers. She is a sister of the well known team of the Lockhart Sisters. for me to ssy that under Mr. Coote's man- agement It was excellently staged, well cast and highly appreciated by a densely packed audience. It should be aa big a money maker as "The Fatal Wedding." the agency of Richard Pltrot, and sail on Feb. 27. Thomas Barrasford's new house, the Al- hambra, has been opened In Paris with every Indication of success. Belle Davis nnd her Pickaninnies. Polk and Rollins, Edna Mastln, and Helen Yorke are Americans on the bill. All have done well, and the French press speaks particularly well of Miss DavlB arid her colored assistants. Marlon Winchester, who has been on the continent for some time, where she became an Immense favorite, opens at the Palace on Peb. 29 for a run. I hear wonderful ac- counts of the costumes she Is to display when she arrives In London. They are an act In themselves. Maud Caswell, who Is now working alone, opens at the Royal next week. Blanche Sloan Is playing at the Cambridge this week. This Is her third visit to this ' ball nnd her popularity la as great as ever. She bos recently had a very successful series of engagements on the continent. Including the Moulin Rouge, Paris, and Apollo, Berlin. Thr Manhattan Comedy Four are topping the bill at th« Hansa Theatre, Hamburg. Dave Carter, the new tenor of the four, sends me a commemorative programme, in which they are featured large, and in which I also notice the portraits of Johnson and Dean, who are making a triumphal progress through Germany. Johnson and Dean come to the Palace shortly. J. Warren Keane appeared at the Tlvoll on Saturday, where he presented a clever and attractive act. He won bis audience In p handsome fashion and undoubtedly will become a favorite over here Moving picture machine makers and phono- graph manufacturers have now a newspaper of their own to The TalUng Machine New$ and Oinematouraph Chronicle, edited by Leon- ard W. Lllllngston. It is well produced, full of interesting matter and in every way ably conducted. The Sisters McNulty are back In London again, and I found them, on a visit to the the least, be a very big drawing card in Jo- hannesburg. The company at the Standard Is giving a very excellent version of "Old Heidelberg" at present with great success. At the Empire Palace B. G. Knowles still holds the star position, and Is supported by a very fine company, including: Amber Austa, a very clever sand dancer; Wilson and War- ing, American comedy performers; the Pant- zer Brothers, head to head balancers; Lala Selblal, vocalist, juggler and trick 'cyclist; Pat Carey, MIbb 0 Deyne Sparke, Wlll Haines and Evle Hamilton. W. C. Fields, the American comedy Jug- ?ler, who has Just finished a most success- nl engagement here, la now to Cape Town, and Is repeating his tremendous success down there. Mr. Fields la looked upon as one of the cleverest and nicest fellows who bag ever appeared under the management of the Empire Co. The others appearing at the New Tivoll, Cape Town, are: Peggy Pryde, the Flexmore Sisters, Nina Carlton. Bert Rrantford, the Salvaggls, acrobatic dancers (well known in America): Dora Greve, and the Haydas Troupe of acrobats. Sensational blood and thunder dramas are having a run at the Gaiety, and Mr. Brown Is making an attempt to run a variety show at the Pavilion. Another bit of sensation to add to the popular grief here Is the news just to hand of the death ot H. Freeman Cohen, at Calen- don, near Cape Town, Cape Colony, where he had been resting for the past three months. Mr. Cohen was one of the big min- ing magnates of the Rand; was one of the men sentenced to death by Ex-President Kruger at the time of the Jamison Raid. Mr. Cohen took his own life by cutting his throat with a razor. ««» IOWA. Des Moines.—At Foster's Opera House (Wm. Foster, manager).—E. H.
