She is supported by Cyril Wilber, and her repertoire includes “The Salt Cellar, “Two Can Play at That Game,” “Drop- ing a Hint,” “A Dish of Dainties,” “The Passing Fancy,” and others. The great novelties of the bill, the three Hegel- manns, who come direct from Europe for the Orpheum circuit, are said to be the most skilled and thrilling aeralists in the world. O'Brien and Buckley, musical artists, promise something new in the musical comedy line. James Thornton, who has made such a hit, will have a new line of songs and a lot of patter, in which he excels. He has scored a great hit. The Macarte sisters will appear in an en- tire new act, which is sald to be even more sensational and thrilling than the one in which they made thefr first ap- pearance. repertoire for this week, as have the Windom quintet.

The Alcazar. “Richelieu” at the Alcazar was such a popular attraction that the management found it necessary to continue it through- out the week instead of three days, as was intended.

The struggle of this class for so- clal recognition by the Englisk in the so- clety and military cricles of India forms the ground work for the play. Nazare, a half-caste aid-de-camp on the staff of Colonel Brough, the commandant at Rawul Pindee, becomes the hero, and Nourmalee, the beautiful daughter of a rich and ambitious Eurasian merchant, is the heroine. The story is intensely inter- esting, the time being during the late Afghan campalgn in 1879-80. rough, in spite of the fact that he has a '\v!fe in England, is infatuated with Nazare's sweetheart, Nourmalee. The hero resents his dishonorable advances and quar- rels with the commandant, who accuses him - to the Viceroy of having as- saulted his superior officer. ~Nazare is arrested, tried by court martial and con- demned for twenty years to the military fortress at Candahar, but finally escapes with the aid of his sweetheart. The scenes throughout are very dramatie. This will be the first presentation of the play here. The Olympia Music Hall has an extra attraction and novelty in the Royal To- kio acrobatic wonders. They are cred- jted with being among the most skilled | troupe of Japanese acrobats and jugglers. It is claimed that nothing like them has J il purpose of ob- | | able, as is shown by the fact that the | past week has been the most successful, from the box-office standpoint, of the Morrison engagement.

However, by rea Miss Roberts’ excellent work this s acceptable delin of this famous and difficult character. ! The cast has been well selected and the staging and costumes will be not only appropriate to the period with which the play deals, but complete in detail. Morosco's. “The Cherry Pickers” will be the attrac- tion at Morosco's next week with James Brophy in the leading role. The play is by Joseph Arthur, author of “Blue Jeans,” | and is not, as would be inferred from its title, pastoral. “The Cherry Picke are really the famous Eleventh Hussars of the British army.

The vaudeville entertainment provided improving and the popular resort has a regular clientele of amusement seckers. There will be a complete change of pro- gramme, with one exception, to-morrow, aces will include those of . a pretty and talented singing soubrette; John W. Thompson, a Chinese musical comedian, and Dick Mack, a talking comedian, singer, dancer and hat spinner. Mason and Reed, triple horizontal bar performers in their comedy sketch, “The Tramp and the Section Boss,” will make their first appearance here, as will also Douglass and Ford, who created a sensation at the Orpheum re- cently with their club swinging and danc- ing.

Continued from Page Seventeen. four royal Kahilis were held by the kahili bearers, one at each corner of her bier and six at each side. Six others dressed all in_velvet waved the Kahilis over her body. You know we have a superstition about the dead. No insect must touch our dead. I remember shrieking out once I saw her and then never finding voice it seemed to me to shriek again or a tear to cry. I used to be awake at night and listen to the wailing. It never ceased, you know, by day or night for those three weeks. I thought I should go mad of it. A child suffers in so many ways that it cannot tell. No one understood, I think, what I suf- tered in that time. I missed her so. She did everything for me. She made all my little frocks; I have them all. The tabu is very strict, you know. It applies to everything, even to discarded clothing. My frocks were all put away when they were worn, my shoes, my ribbons, even to the pins which were used sometimes in fastening things. I will show you one of the little frocks.” She rose and went swiftly from the room and came back with a soft crumpled mass of yellowing lace and embroidery in her hands. “I love to sew, too,” she sald. “I find real happiness in sewing and being read to just as I remember my mother did. I get my friends to read, you know, and I make a lot of the things I wear.” “Do they sit on your bed now?” I asked. o, sald Kaiulani, laughing. “Habit is strong and they never think of oing it.” 2 ‘fi never heard of the tabu,” I said.

I have no bitterness against the United States. 1 think this is a hasty move forced on the American Govern- ment; a scheme which the war with Spain has helped. And I cannot but think it is a very great mistake. We would have given everything we had to give—we always had given every- thing, haven't we? “My father says it is as though a dear friend had come to us for hos- pitality and we had gladly offered our best in his entertainment and loved to show him_ every courtesy and honor and then he had said to us, ‘Go now, out of your house. I have been so well treated in it that I have learned to like and want it for myself.” That's quite true, I think, but still we do not blame America for being influenced to this mistake.” ALICE RIX. 0000000000000 00000 join the company, hoping to make both ends meet. Notwithstanding the little man’s explosive profanity, the cruel boni- face seized his two Saratogas and the out- casts went swearing away to the next town with no costumes, facilities for make-up, or money. At this point the old woman actress deserted the aggregation to accept a salary-paying engagement, arrived at and when the company the that he would have to ‘“‘play the old wo- man” in the “Ticket of Leave.” It was a ‘“ground hog” case and after the exerciseof much blarney Timothy suc- ceeded in borrowing adress from the Irish lr.;idl'lwho acted as chef at the third-class otel. . He played the part in a high Hibernfan falsetto which went wrong most of the time and finally got him into trouble. “I got along falrly well,” said Frawley, ‘‘until In the last scene I sat down and forgetting the danger, crossed one leg over another. This exposed my shoes and trousers and those long, earnest Yankees were so exasperated at the deception that they hooted me off the stage and nearly created a riot. I escaped with fhe re- ceipts, went back and took our baggage out of pawn and we_all finally succeeded in getting to New York wifhout walk- ing. From that day to this I have been thoroughly convinced that I was not in- tended for a female impersonator, what- ever my other fautls may be.” I It People and Plays. Robert Mantell is trying to get out of the frost belt. He has condescended to g0 into vaudeville, but will not go into New York, because the court would like to have a matinee performance by him. Roland Reed threatens to make an as- sault upon San Francisco with three new plays. If the Oregon were here we might defy him. Phoebe Davies will play another season in “Way Down Bast.” Lewls Morrison and wife were to_have taken passage on the ill-fated La Bour- gogne, but, owing to his success in San Franclsco, 'and the extension of his en- gagement, his European trip was given up at the last moment. According to a scribbler in the Crite- rion, they must have had some very re- grettable vaudeville in New York. This is the way he puts it: To begin with—Bowery rot; then a dose of coon polyglot; then a miss-every- other crack shot; then a plagiarized play without plot; then a flickering monkeyo- arranged Tor Shousands ‘snd the. somfort | Eraph: {hen B team that sanl make you of all will be carefully looked to.
