Up and down the magnificent fjords Mr. Holmes sailed steamer, launch and rowboat. He also crossed many of the glacier fed lakes, led the steep roc! ous roads which wind through ever changing scenes of grandeur, It goes without saying that the collection of pho- tographs made by Mr. Holmes during his five weeks in Southérn Norway ranks among the finest of his many thousand superb pl&tures. while his motion pictures of waterfalls, cariole caravans, pano- ramas and the like add realism to the journey upon which he will personally conduct his audience. One marvelous mo- tion picture will show lh(l’l?' miles of the coast of the Hardanger fjord, as seen from the deck of a swiftly moving steam- er. In fact, by a trick of the motion pic- ture camera the audience will travel at the rate of 600 miles an hour, as the plc- ture, which took three hours to take, oc- cuples but three minutes on the screen. —— e = League of the Covenant. * An open meeting under the auspices of | the League of the Covenant of the Inde- | pendent Order of B'nal B'rith was held | last evening in I O. B. B. Hall. Owing to the inclemency of the weather the attend- | ance was not as large as anticipated. The league has been organized to bring to the attention of the young Hebrews the high- er ideals of the order and endeavor to In- | Guce them to join. Rev. Dr. Jacob Voor- sanger was the speaker of the evening and in a masterful address called at at- tention of his auditors to the condition of | the Jews in foreign countries and the need of active co-operation to lighten their [ burdens. He made a plea that the young | men join the order and assist in the com- mendable work. —_———— Fong Sing Has a Grievance.

REVIVAL OF “THE MIKADO” MAKES A STUNNING HIT AT THE TIVOLI Nance O’Neil Continues Her Triumph as Lady Macbeth . at the Grand---"Princess Chic” Attracts Big Audiences | to Columbia---“Barbara Fidgety” Has Fischer’s Boards of HE Tivoll production “The Mikado” almost revives belief in comic opera as an art. To begin | with, it i hion that done in @ puts to shame most of the travel- | } ing alleged comic opera combinations that rdrm to the coast, and again with what splendid inspiration have Gilbert and Sulli | van furnished the singers! Gilbert considered it necessary to give wit to his lines, clarity to his plot and character to | his pecple; and Sullivan to set them in music of the best. In reviving these op- eras—for the Tivoll contemplates a Gil- bLert and Sullivan season—the management ‘(‘v'uld have done nothing more desirable, | nothing more useful and nothing more at- tractive. The Tivoll, anyway, is a cong stant source of wonder to the traveling manager, from Grau down. There he finds the reason for the local rejection of operatic shows elsewhere received with open arms. It was, for example, given | to “The Strollers” to “‘wonder why,” un- ! til some of the more curious among them —headed by Marguerite Sylva herself— crossed daintily over the narrow alley be- | tween the Columbia and the Tivoli. They came to scoff—at two-bit grand opera, but remained to pray. One little much-mil- red maid, during the period scoff, s the T i girls. tion in a nuts % Sald the “Stroller” maid, “What a shab- by-looking lot of girls!"—it was in “‘An- | a Chenier” and the crowd’s frocks had | certainly been benzined more than once. Said the Tivoli maid, who had not vis- | ited “The Strollers” for nothing: ‘*‘Yes, but we can sing!” She might have sald “and = also, | with truth and that there are people at the Tivoll who outclass all round the usual traveling company. And ‘“The Mikado™ has the best the Tivoli can give. It is notable for the reappearance of Mme. Caro Roma, who after four-or five | years' prima donn: work in England comes back to a fascinating Katisha, this w The, three little maids from school e splendldly done by Annie Myers, { ningham Pooh-Bahs it handsomely and “tie enly Ferris” is the Mikado himself. The plece should see a month out with every mark of favor, though it is prom- |ised for only next week. | GUISARD. | o el | *“The Princess Chic” is a genuine' suc- cess this week at the Columbia Theater and large houses are attending. The per- | formance is 'in some respects superior to the splendid one given last season. - Vera Michalena, Joseph C. Miron, Edna Floyd, Adele Stoneman, Walter Lawrence are among the clever principals. The opera will be heard up to and Including next Sunday. “» “The Tempest,” with Louls James and Frederick Warde as associate stars in the respective roles of \Caliban and Prospero, will come next week. This exquisite com- edy, which is almost unknown to provin- cial audiences as an acting play, was last presented by the late Augustin Daly about six years ago. Messrs, Wagenhals and Kemper, who are managing the tour of Mr. Warde and Mr. James, found much assistance in recalling the particulars of this production. In some respects. they have been able to improve -on the Daly made in the science of stagecraft since then. Among the sceges that have elicit- ed the most comment is that of the great storm, where the vessel bearing Antonio on the shores of the enchanted island, From what is heard of this seene it would in realistic effect or pictorial beauty, has cver been attempted before by a traveling { company. This_occurs almost at the rise | of the curtain, for which reason the au- dience is requested to be seated’ before the beginning of the performance. The engagement opens next Monday.

On Saturday night will.be the last per- formance of this Shakespearean tragedy. On Sunday night “Judith,” . the much { discusseg Scriptural play, will be given its first production in English, with Miss O'Neil in the name role. A production of much excellence is promised. 5 .
