...attraction next week, with usual matinees, Wednesday and Saturday. The play is one of Wm. A. Brady's most successful attractions and will be put on with the same splendidly equipped company, as when seen at this popular play house last season. The latest stage effects and the highest spectacular results of modern scenic art will again be displayed. With true love that runs roughly for its theme, and war, murder, bomb explosion, broadsword combat, fox hunting with English thoroughbreds and fox hounds, and similar realistic features to enliven a sensational plot "Humanity" is unquestionably one of the strongest melodramas...
...operetta by F. Zell, and with Genee's music it was given at Vionna in 879. Mr. Gustave Lagye then re-translated the title "Le Cadet de Marine."

Yet that is the light in which the football team's work must inevitably appear, if no more students take, what they should not be willing to call, the trouble, to go down to the Field every afternoon...
COLUMBIA THEATRE. - The greater "Shenandoah" will be presented at the Columbia Theatre for six nights and two matinees, beginning next Monday, in the same superb spectacular manner as that in which it was seen for one hundred and fifty nights at the Academy of Music, New York. As "Shenandoah" is now presented there are twenty-five horses and two hundred soldiers that participate in the realistic Sheridan's ride scene, and all the battle movements are gone through with ease and entire verisimilitude. The cast, too, is splendid. There could be no better type of the handsome Southern girl than...
