Coburn's Greater Minstrels.
In the minds of those who have
witnessed the performance of these
artists, the first question which
arises (after a glance at this head
line) is "when?" They have vis
ited Camden every season for sev
eral years and on each visit have
been greeted with a crowded house.
We feel that we cannot give the
public a better assurance of seeing
a dhow that will be enjoyed and
remembered for some time, than to
qupte the statement made by Mr.
J. A. Coburn, owner of the show:
"We vNl visit your city on Mon
day night, Oct. 30th, and will pre
sent at the Opera House, the new
est and cleanest of all that there 1h
in minstrelsy." Parade and band

Will Present "Rebecca of Hunny
brook Farm," lu Columbia.
Everyone remembers the beauti
ful pluy "ilea liur" which was pre
sented In Columbia, and "Rebecca
of 8unnybrook Farm" will bring her
message of cheer and sunshine to
the cltisens of Columbia and vicini
ty for two nightB, Wednesday mid
Thursday, Nov. 8 and 9, with mat
inee Thursday, when she will be
seen at the Columbia theatre.
? The dramatisation of the book,
which had perhaps the greatest sale
of . the last decade, for every one
loves Rebecca and wants to kuow
ail about ^er, was made by Kate
Douglas Wlggln, author of the book
and Charlotte Thompson, who has
several stage successes to her cre-j
dit. The play Is In four acts, and
its personnel Includes all of the
people who were made friends In
the reading of the book. The dra
matists have not confined them
selves to the earlier adventures of
Rebecca, but have taken what thoy ,
listed from the newer "Chronicles ol
Rebecca," In whloh further Incidents
In the career of that unconvention
al young woman are related.* The
plot revolves arouud Rebecca's life
at the home of the Sawyer aunts,
Miranda and Jane, who take the
girl because there are so many chil
dren at hen home (her mother ls*a
sister of the delectable old maids)
and who are horrified at the pranks
and life of the young girl who has
come into their home. But Rebec
ca's loving and lovable nature as
serts Its poorer even over the hard
ened characters of her kinswomen,
and when' the last curtain falls she
has not only conquered their liking
but has made herself the center of
the world for them. The Incident
of the soap selling, in which Re
becca whs aided and abetted by her
chum, Emma Jane Perkins, and the
objects of which waB to buy a pia
no lamp for the destitute Simpson
family, when bread and bacon and
baked beans would have been infi
nitely more appropriate, brings the
element of love Into Rebecca's life,
and with the close of the play
comes the Intimation of wedding
bells for 'her and "Mr. Aladdin."
The company which will present
"Rebecca of Sunnybrook Farm" Is
one of the best sent out by Klaw
Erlanger, and ' their name is a
guarantee for the finest of casts
and the most elaborate and beauti
ful productions. In the cast are
Ursula St. George, Sam Reed, Alf.
