control killed and devoured a horse be-
fore he was recaptured. 1t has been almost

In Joseph Arthur's "still Alarm" which
will be seen at Keith's Opera House dur
ing the coming week, local play-goers
will greet an old friend. While Mr..
Arthur does not pretend to have added
much TO the literature of the stage in his
"Still Alarm" he has, with considerable
ingenuity, introduced novel bit of real
ism in the shape ola fire engine and the
interior of an engine house, showing with
remarkable fidelity the inner workings of
this branch OF city life, which, to most
people, has peculiar charm. His hero is
drawn from real life, and is a repre-
sentative of those brave men who fight
our tremendous fires with unfaltering
courage and who so often go to their
death feaJlessly, heroically trying to save

New One Next Week.
A BIG LIVE LION ON THE STAGE.
Two Bills for Providence Opera House,
"Still Alarm" at keith's, "Inside
Track" at Lothrop's and ssUntamcd
Wallace at Westminster.

"The Crust OF Society,"" an adaptation
from the French of Dumas, familiar to
playgoers this and last season and very
popular in this city, will be presented in
the Providence Opera House the first three
evenings of next week. II has been offered
three separate times at this theater, and
at each visit interest in ii seemed to
develop. When this play, in its present
form, began its successful career, il
caused more comment, favorable and
otherwise, than any other presented
in this country for score OF
years. 1t was declared risky, but nearly
everywhere 1t was acknowledged to be
one OF the cleverest, most interesting and
complete dramatic treats seen in recent
years. Its success caused flood OF plays
all taken from the same source, until
"Crusts," "Fringes" and edges OF So
ciety" could be seen on the bill boards OF
all principal cities. 1t will have
the advantage OF strong
company next week and il
promises are kept it will be sumptuously
staged. Miss Zefiie Tilbury will play
Mrs. Eastlake Chapel, the adventures,
and Miss Kathleen Kerrigan will imper-
senate Mrs. Ernestine Echo.

very fate to which they themselves fail
victims. There are no braver men
than the firemen of Americas big cities,
no class VINO fight longer, harder and
more valorously, or who save
more lives, none who take greater
chances and none who receive less re-
ward. Mr.. Arthur's theme Is therefore, n
popular one and the great prosperity
the play has enjoyed is not so surpris-
ing. With the company are the
two intelligent Arabian horses, Pegasus
and Bucophaus, who for several years
have made the dash for the fire
from the engine house. The com
pany is headed by Will s. Harkins,
whose portrayal OF the role OF the hero,
Jack Manley, has been warmly com
mended everywhere, and who stands to-
day a. one of the most finished actors on
the stage.
