chanting scenes of the Mystic
Kingdom of Rootytootoot, where
Pauline Hall a nd the Honeymoon
ers" make a merry sojourn.
Miss Hall with beauty and voice
at their best appears this season in
the NOSE elaborate production she
has ever offered. The combined
genius of c. M. S. Mcclellan, the
librettist, and VIM. Furst, the COM
poser, are in the "Honeymooners."
An expensive setting has been
given the opera and the star is sur

other artist in his line on the stage,
while Miss Caroline Hamilton is
the late prima-donna Of the Bos-
tonians. The other principals are
clever and well known people, and
the chorus is one grand conven-
tions of pretty girls.
Among the effective numbers
are Miss Halls "Take it Home and
Give it to the Baby" Richard
Golden's two funny songs; "On
Tuesday | Took to Drink" and
"The Ghost That Never Walked"
while a charming comedy bit is
THE Dainty Little Morning
Glory" duet for the star and the
comedian.
JAKE sCHAEFER To GO ON THE
STAGE.
Jake Schaefer, the billiard play
er, is going on the stage. He is to
appear in a new play, entitled
"Percy and Harold" in which
Ward and Vokes are going to star
next season.
The piece, which is faTce-com-
edy in three acts, deals with the
adventures of two broken down
English noblemen in this country.
The first scene is laid in the Man
haitian club in New York. 1t is sup
posed to be ladies' night at the
club, and Mr.. Shaefer will play
billiards and also instruct some of
the ladies in the game. The second
act takes place in the nOblemen's
room in tenement house, while
the last scene is at lawn party.
The play, which is by George G..
jerks, Pittsburg, will be produced
under the management Of Whit
taker and Crossley in Columbus,
Ohio, on August u.
SHE DANCES IN A CAGE OF LIONS.
The latest thing in the way of
amusement novelties in the SER
pentine dance as presented by
Mile. Sandow at the Olympic,
Boulevard DIES Capucines, Paris.
She enters large gilded cage con-
tanning three lions and lioness, and
there under the watchful eye Of
Max Him goes through the steps
and poses of her part with grace
and intrepidity.
There is a sensational feature
even about the appearance Of the
cage. 1t reposes on the floor below
the hall until a fanfare of trumpets
gives the cue for its "entrance."
Then it is raised to the stage, ele-
vator fashion, the elecric lights
blaze, the lions growl, Mile. San
dowa mods to the leader of the or
chestra, smiles at the audience and
the dangerous performance begins.
All the while NJ. Him keeps watch,
an iron club in one hand, whip in
the other and in his hip pocket
loaded revolver.
CHAs. COUGHLAN REJOINS ROSE.
Two important changes were made
in the cast of "A Woman of No I'm
portance." Chas. COughlan, brother
of Rose Coughlan, who has revised
the play somewhat, has rejOined
his sister and will appear in the
part played by Maurice Barrymore,
and Aubrey BOucicault will re-
place Mr.. Tabor. The change was
made last Tuesday. The play as it
is now is Tremendous success.

quite a number of his relatives and
friends at the Bloomingdale asy-

Mr.. Scanlan's physical condition is
excellent, but there are indications
of continued brain decay. Judged
