¥ ~* ALE HAMILTON, co-starring with Grace La Rue in ‘Dear Me," writes us from Nashville that the season of that attraction will elese in April and that Miss La Rue and he are going into vaudeville. They are looking for a sketch with the male role the leading one. ‘Dear Me” will be at the Grand Opera House,” Cincinnati, March 5. Inci- dentally, Hale tells us a story. “A young friend of mine,” says he. “made his first public speech re- cently. Asked how he got along, he replied: ‘Fine. They hissed the first wpeaker and they hissed the second. Then came my turn, and when I got through they hissed the other two all over again." MISS LA RUE INVENTS. With the Hamilton note was «ne from Miss La Rue. “T am an inventor,"’ she writes. "I have designed a corset meant espo- clally for slender and medium weight ‘women. I intend to call it the La Rue and shall see that it gets on the mar- ‘ket some way. It is modern in styie. You'd have to see it to appreciate it." Careful, Grace!

In addition to the ordinary, comforts the house has a Chinese lounge. But it is notable chiefly for two small stages at the right and left of the main stage. On these tho players came out at the end of the second act to bow to the surprised audience. “Bavu," named for its villain, is & jdarkest Russian melodrama, much of it played in shadows and some of it lin inky blackness. It is, perhaps, |more mysterious than thrilling, though by no means lacking in tnel- |dents calculated to make the Blood |turn cold or hot. Vossibly there ts = bit too much calculation and not quite | enough violence Certainly, the Mohammedan villain likes to take his time, especially, in having his say, and as he is @ com- firmed talker he takes up a great deal of time. Profiting by the revolution, he has stolen rich plunder and hidden Jit in an attic room built of stone. It is lis plan to leave the loot there until he can remove ft at his leisure, and meanwhile he must have a pass- port to get away. Then he finds ft | ry to have a wife and prefers |» desperate Indy of the nobility, one jAnnia, to the sfmple and devoted Olga. The young commissioner who brings the passport pretends to marry Annia to the base adventurer, but \arter much scheming and gloating it appears that the paper bears the names of the commissioner and the |lady. He becomes the hero who ts to |save her as well as love her. Sus- pecting as much, the wily Bava de- cides to get rid of this young man Jand apparently succeeds in Imprison- jing him®in the chimney room, which promptly closed up with stone anit | mortar. Smoke adds to the danger of |the prisoner. ‘The agonized heroine | manages to get a stone loose and a {hand is thrust limply through the | hole But Just as the hero ts sup- posed to be dead he hops nimbly out lof a basket. Even before'this time he has been acting pretty much Ike a | harlequin, popping up in the most un- ‘expected places and always giving the villain the slip. The hand ts that of poor Olga, who, after manipulating a secret panel, has managed to) get her- | self walled up during one of the dark \intervals, On her band is a ring | bearing the seal required for the pass. port, bit the hero mannges to get an imprint. He also succeeds in runing jhis sword through Bavu by way of finishing off an impromptu duel. Then nece he dashes off with the heroine through a slyly worked revolving door. Henry Herbert is a most sardonic | villain, and William H. Powetl an ex- |ceedingly alert hero. Carlotta Mon- |terey as Olga and Helen Freeman as Annia share the suffering fairly. Maude Eburne is amusing as a wicked old harpy and Charles Wray Wallace goes the same evil way with @ wooden leg. “Bavu’* ts essentially. villainous. cceateereenees | A DIFFERENT RUTH.
