Inere was SAID TO be Dig row IN the
Kiralfy troupe last night. 1t was all on
account of unpaid salaries, which are
claimed by Miss Maud Dickerson. the
fair Antiope, and her husband, Harry
DIckerSon, the "Discord" of the troupe.
At the last minute both of them refused
to go on unless at least one weeks sal
airy was paid and, although Manager
Con6lin is said to have tried to act the
part of mediator, the money was not
forthcoming and both of them left the
theater. Mr.. and Mrs. Dickerson called
at the GLOBE Office last night and made
the following statement: Since Nov. 9
we have not received our salaries. On
that day we were paid in full. When
we requested BOlossy Kiralfy to settle
with us he put us off until we should
strike big city. He would give us from
81 to So at time, and now he owes us
$3.50. Last Saturday night when Miss
DickerSon asked him for some mOney,he
gave her 81, and he didn't even secure
our berths for us on the train. In
San Francisco almost ali of the
ballet left us because they couldn't get
their money. We have placed our case
in the bands of MetZler d Peterson, our
attorneys, and they have garriSheed the
box receipts tonight. Mr.. Kiralfy
brought us from England under the
promise that our salaries should be paid
weekly, but we have had to wait too
long already for our money"
THE SHOW GOES ON.
81 am McGinty with the grip" said
Joe Hallowell, the comedian, as he wall
dered onto the Grand opera house stage
last night as Mopsus in Kiraify's "Ah-
tiope." This Interpolation described
the condition of affairs with the
"AntiOpe" company to nicely. TO
begin with, the Monday nights per-
Torrance was cancelled for the reason,
so it was announced. that the arrival
of the scenery was delayed by missing a
railroad connection, although it is quite
likely that internal disSenSions conSti-
tute the real cause. When the curtain
went up last evening the audience was
somewhat astonished to see the familiar
face and figure of Frederick Book, ar
rayed in a scarlet Mephistopneles
suit: and still more surprised
when Jessaline Rodgers, his
wife, appeared a little later in
the character of Antiope. AS the piece
progressed it was evident that there
was something the matter with almost
everything, barring the dancing and the
speciality actor. Chorus people filled
star parts, and stumbled throughout the
dialogue with Indifferent success. The
scenery hitched several times, and the
Minneapolis cOryphees were rather
awkward. Nevertheless, the entertain
ment presented was far from being I'M
satisfactory. The speciatiesara first-clasS
and the dancing excellent. Mile. Fran
ciscinia Paris, the premiere, created
quite Juror by her wonderful dane
ing, and Alice Gilbert was also very
pleasing. Senorta Carmencita, the
Spanish dancer, proved to be a decided
novelty, and the balletS were all pleas
ing. The marionettes, the wire walk
ing by lie Mandue. the PialraS, the Won
derful Spanish athletes, were specialties
that called out enthusiastic ap
plause. The scenic effects and
though it was found necessary to
cut many of the songs because nearly
all the company are victims of the ''la
grippe" the audience was indugent
and "AntiOpe" was pulled through in
fairly creditable style after all. Fred
erick Book and JesSaline Rogers did
wonderfully well considering the short
notice they had in which to prepare for
the two leading speaking parts.
Lillian Lewis changes her bill tonight
at the Harris theater to ''AS in Look
lng-GlaSS.
The second presentation of 81 Article
47,'' at the Harris theater last evening
was marked by a better attendance than
ON Monday evening. but still it was not
as large as the company deserved. The
company was at its best, each member
rendering Miss Lewis excellent support,
especially Mr.. Whitecar as George
Duhamel, who never made better pre-
sentation. Miss Lewis improves on ac-
quaintance and her appearance last
evening was simply superb. She was
especially strong in the last two acts.
The play was well received and will no
doubt draw large houses the remaining
evenings of the week.
A change of bill is announced at the
Bijou opera house for Thursday even
ing, when will be presented for the first
time in this city the thrilling war drama,
"After Taps" Miss Florence j. Bind
lep will appear in the character of Jes-
sic, in which she has made distinct
hit. The play is full of strong situa-
tons, and is particularly pleasing to old
soldiers.
Manager Brown, of the Comique, has
secured the greatest attraction of the
| season, Jack McAuliffe and Billy Mad
den, for the evenings of Jan. Is and
l6. Mr.. McAuliffe is the champion of
America in his class and Billy Madden
is too well known to need comment.
Don't fail to see them.
