'''VICTORIA THEATER, TONIGHT, WILLIAM GILLETTE.'''

[[William Gillette]], in "[[Sherlock Holmes (play 1901 Victoria Theater)|Sherlock Holmes]]" will give a performance at the Victoria theater tonight. This will be [[William Gillette|Mr. Gillette]]'s only appearance here in some time, as at the end of a short American tour he goes to England for a run in London for one year. The play ran all of last season at the Garrick theater in New York, and the production seen here will be identically the same as that seen there in every particular. In speaking of [[William Gillette|Mr. Gillette]]'s performance in St. Louis, the Globe-Democrat, on Tuesday, January 1st, said: "There is no use arguing or trying to analyze such effect as [[William Gillette|Mr. Gillette]] as an author and actor has obtained in '[[Sherlock Holmes (play 1900-1901 Olympic Theater)|Sherlock Holmes]].' No one in the huge audience last night was proof against the spell [[William Gillette|Mr. Gillette]] wrought. He simply defies criticism, and analysis. The interest aroused is most absorbing, and the play speeds on swift wing, for one entirely forgets one's surroundings."

Victoria Theater — Wednesday, January 23d, James A. Herne, in "Sag Harbor."-The fine salt winds that blow across the shores of lovely Land Island are no more fragrant of delicious than is the atmosphere of Herne's latest play, "Sag Harbor," which will be seen at the Victoria Theater Wednesday evening, January 22.

Herne will appear here in his original role of Captain Dan Marble. Seats now on sale.
