A. M. Palmer's company plays a two-night
engagement at the Creighton theateT. open
Ing with a performance tomorrow evening,
the engagement closing with a matinee
Wednesday,. The story of the play OF
"Trilby' is told in the following arrange
ment:
The action opens in the studio of the three
mBsketeers OF the brush, at the time Trilby
had become thoroughly at home in this domi-
cile In the Quarter Latin, and had won the
regard of Its occupants. 1t dawns on the
large, numbering Taffy that he has passed the
period of having Trilby be a sister to him, so
he blurts out his love for her. His astonish-
ment and surprise are as big as himself when
he learns from the lovely model that her
heart has been given to his comrade, Little
Billee. This confession. wrung from Trilby
is quickly followed by the news that the IA
vored sutton has quilted Paris for Florence to
join his mother. Trilby is stricken with
grief at this announcement, but is soon com
forted by the return of Little Billee with
the impetuous confession that he could not
forsake her. The second act shows the atalier
draped with holly garlands from England
High carnival prevails over the point occa-
sions of Christmas Eve and the announcement
of the engagement Of Trilby and Little Bill
lee. The gay Quadrille has a gay cancan di-
vortisement, when callers interrupt the mer-
riment. The unbiddeA guests are Rev. Thomas
Bagot and Little Bllee's mother. Svengali
onllghtens them as 10 the festival. and shocks
them nightly with the surprising news of
the prospective ~nuptials. The luckless Trilby
appears and is urged to give up her love.
A subsequent interview with Billee leads
Trilby to consent to an elopement, but,
through Svengal's hypnotic arts, she is in
duced to quit Paris, leaving a hasty scrawl,
dictated by Svengali, to announce her de-
parture. Five years are supposed to have
elapsed before the rise of the curtain in
the third act, and the principals of the
strange, eventful story. little transformed
save as be.te!ed by fortune, meet in the
foyer du Cirque dss Bashi-Bazoucks, where
a new singer that has astonished all quarters
of Europe is to sing for the first time in
Paris. The singer proves to b. Tri,by, bit
under Svengal.s mesmeric sway she fails
to recognize her quondam friends. An alter
cation between one of her friends and Sven
gall leads to the latter's death from an af-
lection of the heart. Deprived of his influence,
Trilby returns to her natural self, her hyp-
notically inspired ability to sing deserts her
and she is hisse1 from the stage, returning
to the foyer, to recognize and welcome her
old comrades Of the Latin Quarter. The death
of Syengali appears to deprive her of her
animating spirit. and her life is despaired OF.
Billee %entreats her to marry him, even If, as
she believes, 1t Is on her deathbed. After
an affecting scene with Billee she asks TIM
to reflect and is left alone. A picture of
Svengali unfortunately chances to lie in her
way. AS She gazes upon it her eyes become
fixed, and under its baleful Influence she re-
lapses into an apparently hypnotic condition
and so dies, just as the new life with her
old friends is dawning to it's happier, better
day.
