BROADWAY THEATER “This Wuman and Thlu Man.” “This Woman and This emotional drama, centering about the sacrifices of a mother for her chil and dealing” with great human em tions, will be seen here at the Bread- way theater on Friday, Oct. 29. Miss Minnie Vietorson, whose work in “The Straight Road,” “The Squaw Man’ ’and “Under Southern Skies” has made her favorably knmown wherever there is a theatrical public, will appear. In her new’ play, which is the work of Avery Hopwood, author of “Clothes,” and other big dramatic successes. Miss Victorson will portray a modern type of woman, confronted with social iso- lation, who has the courage to conquer almost insuperable difficulties, and who finally achieves happiness for herself and her boy, and the regeneration of the man she loves. Man,” an BREED THEATER. The Little Tuch;,'Sonntioml Bio- graph Picture. The management of the Breed the- ater hag shown its customary wisdom ln selecflng for the latter half of the he tremendously popular bio- g-raph subject, entitled The Little Teacher.” It is said that youth and authority never go hand in hand, and in this Hrilliantly dramatic feature a decidedly young and pretty girl is sent to a ceuntry school to teach the young idea. but finds that many of the voung ladies are her same age, and some much larger. She has many obstacles set in her path by the bullies of the class, finally calling upon a surveyvor who is passing to quell a rural riot that is taking place. She is fascinated with the young surveyor for his chiv- | alrous deed, but as he is a married man, she is attracted by the noble heartedness of the bully, of the class, who is elated because of the discovery of the surveyor’'s harmlessness, and his own prospects of becoming master of h)g teacher’s hearf. As usual, the balance of the pictures are in the same class of excellence, lhf;l’? being many to entertain and de- light. Miss Florence Wolcott, the voung prima donna. who is making such a hit at the Breed, will be heard in an entirelv new programme of operatic numbers, her concert numher being one of the most difficult and beautiful in hgr repertoire. he Hudson-Fulton Naval Parade the great feature.
