H | 1 y gt~ g 0 (Oh, horror!) a nurserymaid,” to where the last curtain leaves her peacefully re- posing on his psychic bosom. The story of e Gay - Lord Quex” has been told before. Briefly it repeats thus. The gay lord, the ‘‘wickedest man in Lon- don,” has fallen deeply. in ‘love, for the first time in forty-eight years of a mis- spent life, with sweet and wholesome young English girl. To win her he has reformed—a simple matter of mnot doing the thing he is accustomed to>do. But neither Rome ner a new reputation are built in a day, and Quex, on his good be- havior, realizés the precarfous tenure of the difficult affection that the girl has been coaxed and coerced into giving him, Among those who disbelieve in him as a narrow-path finder is Sophy Fullgarney, manicurist, and the foster sister of Murfel Eden, the fiancee of Quex. Miss Fullgar- ney has been a ladles’ maid and nursery mald before reaching her present exalted altitude and is without any troublesome scruples as to spying, eavesdropping and those other little conveniences for finding out other people’s business that are not commonly made use of. Disliking Quex heartily, and adoring Murlel as deeply, Miss Fullgarney decides in her respecta- ble and impertinent mind that her dar. ling shall not marry ‘“that old villain, and with all her advantage of unscrupu- lousness sets about to entrap the very vulnerable gentleman. She fails, Lord Quex having been there before, in enticing Him to kiss her, but does overhear an ap- pointment made between him and a senti- mental Duchess, who desires to take a sentimental leave of her former lover, and immediately places the worst construction Cigar is also the on the meeting. Inveigling herself into the position of maid for the nonce, y _is dis- COZY COACHES Lighted as it is with real electric lights and luzuriously appointed. the most brilliantly beautiful tramn in the world is the CALIFORNIA LIMITED Chicago in three City Ticket OfPice™= — 641 Market st covered at the keyhole of the Duchess’ boudoir, where later she is locked in by Quex, who has sent the Duchess to her hostess' room with a tale of ‘“nerves.” And here comes in Pinero's usual big third act. The scene between the mani- curiet and Quex is simply breathless, the play of character upon character clever to a degree. He has his code of honor, as foreign to hers as chalk to cheese, and HOSTE"ER’S CELEBRAT! BISTTOMACHRS If you want to get well again, you cannot take a beiter medicine than It is the best heaith restorer known to science, and will cure Headache, 'Nervous- ness, Flatulency, Indigestion and Malaria, Fever and Ague. Try it the Bitters. the contrast is stunningly effective. Both finally reach a common ground, and are betrayed into a mutual admiration that is as esthetically grotesque as their for- mer dislike. The last act, that reads rather dully after the third, acts delight- fuliy, and but for a slighit sag in the sec- ond act there is no lag in the interest. One trembles for ““The Gay Lord Quex’" in the hands of any but the best of com- panies, but there was no tremble com- ing last night. Possibly to Miss Anglin belongs the chiefest honor of the illusion, for her completely convincing assumption of the manicurist role, so radically out of key with anything in her former reper- toire.- She invested the part with a rich, unconscious humor, a ippy.” flippant, smart, impudent, yet sound-hearted at- mosphere, that set Sophy before one with the strong, droll line of a Phil May. Her gesture, tone, glance, everything, strengthened the illusion, and Miss An- glin's Fullgarney will go down as one of the greatest comedy portraits of the pe- riod. Mr. Miller has in Quex an apt vehi- cle for the display of his various dis- tinctions, finish, subtlety, manner, and the rest. He is most grateful to the part | and the part to him, and Pinero’'s re- formed lord would go far to find a more finished interpreter. Sir _ Chicheste: Frayne, Quex’'s unreformed friend., is delightfully assumed by Lawrence D'Or- say, and Miss Eustace gives a highly sym- pathetic portrait of the Duchess. Grace Elliston is pretty in the pretty role of Muriel, and the rest of the cast are all competent. The plece, it need not be sald, is mounted splendidly, the garden scene at Fauncey Court bling a de luxe edition of the kindfof thin Alcazar. The prophecy made by ¥lorence Roberts some months ago that ‘“Zaza” would prove her greatest success has surely come true, as the events of the past two weeks have plainly proved. Miss Rob- erts gives to “Zaza” a distinctiveness that is all her own. This popular star is fortunate in having the support of White Whittlesey, George Osbourne, Charles ‘Wyngate and Georgie Woodthorpe to give her that aid neces- sary to the portrayal of the strong char- acter she assumes. That the piece and the acting of it are pleasing to the puo- lic is best shown by the nightly crowding of the house and the enthusiastic recep- tion it receives. ‘Zaza” evidently is good for a long run. California. A good-sized atidience was very pleas- antly entertained by the Neill Company .at the California last night with the sparkling comedy ‘Niobe This is the tarewell week of the Neills, and this last production is well chosen to leave the best of impressions’ behind. Edythe Chap- man, in the title role, is more than ever successful. = Neill, .in the character of Peter Dunn, is good as a matter of course, although it is generally admitted that he appears: to better advantage in the more serious roles. Gertrude Keller, who is becoming quite a favorite this season, gathers new laurels as Hattie Griffin. Donald Bowles is sure to be funny;anywhere, and as Cornelius Grif- fin he is:exceptionally clever. The others of the cast fill in the gaps acceptably. Frederick Warde in “Francesca di Rim- ini” comes next. Tivoli. The ever-popular “Idol's Eye"” has never been better staged or acted than it was last night at the Tivoli. Hartman, Annie Meyers, Arthur Cunningham and Edward Webb kept the large audlience that greet- ed the old comic opera convulsed with laughter. Frances Graham, in her old role of the priestess, received her meed f applause and several handsome bou- quets. Sybil Page .enacted Maraquita in a manner that gave her a place in the favor of the audience. She has a sweet voice and a pleasng -presence, and, bar- ring a slight sign of nervousness, made & good Maraquita. She received a num- ber of .handsome floral pieces at the end of the first scene. ‘The new topical verses sung by the quartet contained many “shets”” on current toplcs and were re- sponsible for many encores. The choruses and the stage settings in the, “Idol's Kye” are particularly good. Ceritral. An underground railway and a train of cars flashing through a tunnel in which the intended victims of a heinous plot are bound to the track is one of the thriliing features of “‘The Road to Ruin,” produced at the Central Theater last fvening.

John and was arraigned before Judge Conlan yes- terday morning on charges of passing fic- titious checks. Owing to the absence of | the cashier of the Bank of Santa Clarg, the prisoner was remanded until to-mor- row at the request of District Attorney Byington. Although information reached the police | vesterday that some of the drafts and | checks deposited by Black in California | | banks have been paid in the East since | his arrest, Captain of Detectives Martin | kas every hope that Black will be given a | long term in prison. 1 The payment of some of the drafts and checks is looked upon by the police. as | | being a part of the plans of Black to! swindle banks all over the country. Hav- | | ing once established his credit with a | | bank, it would be an easy matter for | Black to deposit forged or worthl drarts and checks and draw against the; | léefore advice could be received from the ast. | The swift action of the police depart- | ment of this city nipped in the bud the | daring scliemes of the man of many aliases. If he had not been arrested last | week, his credit would have been good with many banking institutions in this | and other cities. CHECKS WILL BE PAID. The complaints filed against Black by | Colonel Andrews of the Diamond Palace | and by Cashier Scott of the Western Na- tional Bank were based on checks drawn | v the accused on the Bank of Santa Clara. The checks drawn by Black were | returned and protested and complaint was | made to the police. i Black had deposited a genuine draft with the Santa Clara bank, but he was requested by that institution not to draw against the draft until word came from | the East that the document was good. | | Black’s haste to secure funds proved his | undoing. Before the Santa Clara bank heard from the East, Black's checks were presented and protested. Word came from Indianapolis yesterday that Black's drafts deposited with the Santa Clara bank had been paid. Conse- quently Colonel Andrews and the Wesi- ern National bank will receive their mon- ey from the Santa Clara bank on Black's checks. | The draft deposited by Black in _the | name of A. Young, for the sum of $1000, been paid also. This draft was drawn on the National Bank of Indianapolis in fa- | vor of “J. B.

In the face of the genuine drafts depos- | ited by Black the complaints filed against him last week will fall to the ground, | but the prisoner will not be given his lib- erty. The police of Springfield, Mass., W him for passing a forged check for ‘When Black was arrested Chief Witt- man sent a number of telegrams to East- ern cities asking for information concern- ing the prisoner. The police of Spring- field, Mass., desired to send an officer aft- | er -Black with extradition papers, but| CLjef Wittman replied that it was not necessary, as Black could be held here on the local charges, As the local charges may not stand, Black will be held as a fugitive from jus- tlce pending the arrival of extradition pa- | pers from the East. Chief Wittman and Captain of Detec- tives Martin are not afraid that Black wili secure his liberty simply because some of his drafts have turned out to be good. A draft on a New York bank for $1100, deposited with the Western National Bank of this city, has been returned as being | worthless, and Black will have to answer | to the cl ing documents. CONSULTATION IS HELD. A consultation was held yesterday aft-, erncon by District Attorney Byington, | Chief of Detectives Martin and Attorney | D. Y. Campbell, representing the National | L e e 3 2 i 2 comedy hit of the play. Fannie Mcln- | tyre, as the heroine, did good work. “The Road t« Ruin” isa lurid melodrama, replete with .ne scenic and electrical ef- fects. A packed hotise enjoyed it from start to finish last night, and testified its =ppreciation by frequent outbursts of ap- plavse. Orpheum. The attractive bill at the Orpheum | crowdeéq the house last night and the ap- | plause was liberal. Mr. and Mrs. Wat- | erous, operatic vocalists, made a hit and Frederick Hallen and Molly Fuller CI'Q<E ated amusement and laughter in their musical comedy, *“The Sleep Walkers." Dave Lewis, the German character com- | edian, tickled the audience with his funny | sayings, and Mabel Sisson and May Stew- | art made a favorable impression in their farcical travesty, “A Mysterious Pill.” The holdovers are Swan and Bambard, acrobatic comedians; Eleanor Falk and company fin a new speclalty, ‘Moon- beams”; Loris and Altina in their sen- sational Willlam.

The house was, as usual, | filled to the doors. A handsome souvenir | of the occasion in the shape of a set of | Ehotogmphs of the leading lights of the | urlesque was given to each patron. Bou- | quets for the performers whose abilities | to amuse have brought about the as-| tounding success of’the production were very numerous. Blake, Bernard, Kolb, | Dill, Maud Amber and all the others were | applauded as much as ever throughout ' the long run. If “Fiddle Dee Dee” ever | wears out “Pousse Cafe” and the traves- ties ““A Royal Family” and “Antony and Cleopatra” will be put on. | Grand Opera House. “The Two Orphans,” that ever popular ! melodrama that draws tears from the | gallery and dress circle alike, opened the week last night at the Grand Opera House in a style seldom equaled. The scene in which the second act is laid, the gardens of Belle Air, evoked the continued ap- plause of the delighted spectators. The capacious stage was a vision of beauty with its cool masses of greenery, the play of moonlight on sparkling fountains and the varicolored lanterns swinging among the trees like glow worms, Every act in the play was set with similar care and thoroughness, and that was the way in which the piece was played, tou. Maude Fealy was am ideal Louise in voice, in figure and in action, there be- ing nothing overdone or underdone in her | personation of the sympathetic character of the blind girl. Mr. Morgan gave to the part of the chevalier, . Maurice de Vaudrey, the same attention to detail that has characterized all his work, and it is of most excellent quality, quiet and repressed though it ‘may be, Hardee Kirkland as the Count de Linieres, Fred Butler as the outlaw Frochard, Herschel Mayall as Pierre, Blanche Stoddard as Henriette and Maggie Leavy as Mother E;rochnrd are deserving of special men- tion.
