"APRIL WEATHER" THE BILL.
"SHIP OF STATE" TONIGHT.

This great artist needs little introduce
ton to theatergoers in st. Paul. where
he is well and favorably known. The
temperance of Sol Smith Russell at
the Metropolitan opera house this week
will, Of course, be a welcome one.
Mr.. Russell will present his new play,
april Weather." which has every
where been such renowned success.
1t is human nature. sunshine and
shadow, smiles and tears, and yet it is
the bright side of life which Mr.. Rus
sell paints for us. The shadows make
the lights brighter. This will be Mr..
Russelps opening play on Monday and
Tuesday. On Wednesday and Thurs
day the younger George Coleman's fine
art English comedy" 1.-The Heir at Law"
will be produced. Friday night and
Saturday matinee Mr.. Russell will APP
pear in Peaceful Valley" and Satur-
day night he will be seen in IA Poor
Relation"
This is an event to which much in
terest is attached on account of its
marking the invasion of the field of old
English comedy by Mr.. Russell, his first
assumption of the role of DR.. Pangloss.
The play, which is now nearly a hun
bred years old, and which the London
Times in 1870 said was decidedly the
best work Of an indifferent school," had
its first production in 1897 at the London
Haymarket.

"SHIP OF ST ATE"
Begins q Weeks Engagement 70
night at the Grand.

At the Grand opera house, week
commencing this evening, Manager
Lift has secured one of the most i'm
portant attractions presented to the
public this season, the new American
play, "Ship of State" by Frank d..
Skitf. The play was given its initial
production at the handsome theater,
called the Schiller theater, Chicago.
this week to very large and enthusiastic
audiences. In fact. upon Monday even
ing, for the first time in the history of
the house. many were turned away un
able to obtain even standing room.
"Ship of State" is one of those dramas
written for popular effect, and in its
class, quite pretentiOus piece. 1t is
conducted on modified melodramatic
lines, there being comparatively little
ciap-trap. Its incidents and situations,
though often of an extravagant char
acter, are very strong and reasonably
enough produced. and are free from ex'
IRENE sensationalism. Mr.. Skiff has
written a play of the plain
and homely sort that has good
qualities and will appeal te
people who like their sentiment simply
and the heroic unadulterated, aud are
not critical as to the details of the way
in which they are amused. There is 6
a good deal of ingenuity in the structure
of the play, which is evidently enough
the work of one thoroughly and per-
fectly familiar with the stage, and i
there is deal of crudeness it is not the
sign of an apprentices hand, but rather
the unaffected, sincere expression OF al
unpretentlous man more DESTROYS tt
please class of patrons whose want.
he seems to understand than cage
to gain the appreciation of those whit
examine the play for its artistic merits
That Mr.. Sklff knew pretty we'll wha
he was doing seems to be proven in thu
size and enthusiasm of the audiences a

been crowded nightly. which, by thu
| way, is novel experience with thi

I theater, and there has been great
liberality Of applause. indicative of the
satisfaction the play was giving. The
play Is elaboratelY presented in the
matter of scenery, and the uniforms and
costumes are very picturesque remind
ers of 1912, the historic period of the
play which deals incidentally with
Perry's victory on Lake Erie. There is
some strong and effective character
work, and the story is told in very
interesting way, with some natural bits
OF commonplace experience effectively
lnterspersed. "rhe Ship of State" is a
high class domestic melodramatic dra-
ma, and will undoubtedly continue in
the success and popularity it has
achieved in Chicago, and is superior in
tone, sentiment and diction to many
plays that have had very prosperous
career in the theaters, and is quite as
forceful, if less sensational, in its dra-
matte expressions. The most extrava
giant incident Mr.. Skiff has employed Is
that i'll the third act where a mild kind
of villain, disappointed in the hope of
securing the love of the heroine, is
suddenly seized with desire to thrust
her through hole in the ice, a malevo.

intervention of 1'ippecanoe Tim, an old

Brilliant methods. ship of State" will

Ellis, who plays the part of the heroine,
is one of our brightest and most pleas
ing, as we'll as artistic, little actresses,
who unites in her work the soubrette
and ingenue. She is decidedly arf,stic
and clever and has made a very
favorable impression upon the
patron, OF the Schiller th''ater. The
company, which Is unusually strong, is

Frank Lees "The Star Gazer."
Having apparently exhausted the
dramatic and comic possibilities of
earth life, the writers Uf today have
turned their attention to the stars in
the hope of obtaining something new.
One librettist has gone to Mars, another
has drifted off the earth, some have
yearned for the moon, and the DISPOSE
ton in general has been to fOrsake this
mundane sphere. In 1.-THE Star Gazer,"
however, nothing of this kind occurs.
The author. Franklin W. Lac, dramatic
editor of the St. Paul Dispatch. has
simply woven little story around an
eccentric astronomer, who is in search
of a comet. This part is played by the
star. Joe OFT, who makes the funniest
star gazer imaginable. OFT always was

absolutely like no one else, although,
now that his starring venture has
been so successful. he will have any
number of cheap imitators. He does
not have to utter word or move mus
Gle to win laugh, and when he speaks
or moves he is thoroughly original in
every detail of voice, delivery and
motion. His songs. "Only One" "Turn
Over" and the new one, "it's All Right,
But It's Awkward" have been made by
his inimitable mannerlsms, which invest
any song or any scene with the greatest
amount of side-splitting comedy. and
as the astronomer in the "Star Gazer"
he is given every opportunity for the
full exercise of his talent and versatile
ity. He has surrounded himself with
good company, each member an artist,
and when ''Tne Star Gazer" is seen
here soon it will doubtless score the
same emphatic hit that it has in the
South and elsewhere. 1t will open at
