representation as this, yet Impressed
with the conviction that the character
is not oyerdrawn. Great objection has
been offered 10 the scene ID which
LA poses as the model IN the
studio. The man or woman who cannot
look upon the disclosure OF the female
form, properly clothed, must be indeed
of sensual mind. The perfect and
graceful figure OF woman probably
represents the highest ideal IN creation.
1t Is the master effort Of the great mas
ter of US all. Such an exhibition can
by some be looked upon with honest
and cure admiration. To the artist 1t
suggests nothing but respect. To the

and then 1t was all over, for she re-
sumed her gown. and every one felt that
they did not realize their expectations.
Emma Bell personates la, and she al
most perfectly realizes the spirit OF the
role. To q sensitive woman 1t must be
n trying part, for she must feel con-
scious that instead Of gaining favor
with the audience she is gradually
arousing their disrespect and censure.
Miss Bell infuses 1t with sparkling
abandon and succeeds with true artistic
methods in revealing the many
varying phases of the character.
Clarence Handysides impersonated
Pierre Clemenceau. He imbued it
with fine expression and much
earnest feeling. He evinced much
fervor, and gsye fine dramatic
effect to tine really two great scenes
which terminate the third and fourth
acts. Miss Lille Eldridges gives very
clever character presentation OF
Countess Dombronowska. VIM. Ha-
worth was eminently successful and
satisfying as Constantine Ritz. The
company 10 indeed superior one, and
words Of commendation could be said
for it. A matinee will be given today,
and the engagement will conclude with
another presentation this evening.
Books containing the story, "Clem.
enceaus Case" may be secured of the
treasurer at Powers box office at re-
duced prices.
The play-going public is thoroughly
familiar with the sterling capabilities of
Dominick Murray, who enacts the vii.
lain role of Humpy Logan in "MasteI
and Man." to be seen at Redmond s
next week. In his line he is the peer
of any artist on the stage. A veteran
| in years, his artistic strength has ~
creased with his age, and only the tri-
vality of his art has been left with the
past. His personation Of the vengeful
foreman Is said to be striking in its
bold coloring, consistent in its elabora-
ton and keenly human throughout,
The play will be deliberately mounted.
The sale of seats is now in progress.
May Smith Robbins will give two pre-
sensations of "Llttle Trixie" at the Ly-
ceum today.
n. S. Wood will repeat "Out in the
Streets" at Redmond's this afternoon

It's no idle boast to say that tn q
specialties presented this week at

and versatile order. Matinee today
