Providence Opera House.

One OF the brightest and liveliest at
fractions ever sent from London TO
America is the big musical comedy sue
cess, San Artists Model" which will be
seen at the Providence Opera House next
Monnay, Tuesday and "Wednesday nights
and Wednesday matinee, under the mana
cement of Al Hayman, and Charles Froh-
man. San Artists Model is by Owen
Hall, with lyrics by Harry Greenback,
music by SIDNEY Zones. IL Is another
successor to the "Gaiety Girl" and Is on
the same merry lines of incessant comedy
and notable particularly for its array OF
famous beauties Of the London stage and
its numerous clever comedians, sparkling
music, lively dances, and magnificent
costumes. San Artists Model" will be
presented by George Edwardes' complete
English company of seventy favorites OF
the London stage, the entire company
having come from London with "An
Artists Model.n The cast offers many
sweet singers, graceful dancers and hum
Orous entertainers who will undoubtedly
please. Special interest will be taken m
the first appearance here of Marie stud
>bolme, recent addition to the gallery
OF London stage beauties, who has
quickly become noted not only for her
rare personal charms, but also for her
talent and fascinating qualities as an
actress and her clever singing and dane
ing. Miss Studbolme makes quite furors
by her singing OF "Umpty- -Umpty, Ay."
which was first heard in San Artists
Medei,D and the "Tom-Tit" song and
dance. Maurice Farkoa, one of the most
original of London entertainers, makes
great hit In "Laughing Song" and an
excellent baritone, John Coates, renders
some charming love songs. Lawrence
D'Orsay gives q new and extremely hum
orous caricature of IA Heavy Swell, and
the Nixon sisters are said to be quite
unequalled in sensational high kicking
and novel skirt dances. The "Sir Roger
De Coveriy," danced by the entire COM
Yany. is particularly brilliant by reason
Of the uniforms and laiies' costumes.
Fred Wright, Jr.. the comedian, brother
20 BERTHE Wright, Of "The Shop
Girl" Is very clever as an eccentric
cancer. 1t has been noticed by all per-
sons who have witnessed San Artists
Model" in New York that the aggrega-
tion OF women meet the requirements
that the word implies in a fuller and
more convincing sense th9n IL usually the
case in describing burlesque beauties.
When Messrs. Hayman and Frohman
arranged to bring this piece from London
they gave orders to the foremost milliners
Of London and Paris for modelled gowns
of the styles tnat were TO prevail In the
pwellest circles of the Old World during
the ason. These dresses. to the number
OF so or more, are worn in the resplend~
ent volunteer ball scene, and there Is no
dress in the lot replica OF which has
been seen IN any Il the fashionable dress
making shown on this side.

THREE CANDLES.
Only illumination for Pilgrim Lodge and
the Members Adjourned.

hhS HHShoSAS huJoui uSas
The lodgeroom of Pilgrim Lodge of Odd
Fellows, was dismal looking place last
evening, and when the members entered
1t they were obliged to peer into each
others face to see who was who, and then
inquire the cause OF the darkness, and
why candles ornamented the altar, and
other prominent pieces of furniture about
the room. Someone came In and ex-
planned that the burning of Masonic
Temple was the cause OF the trouble.
.Then We'll go home," said some.
"No, you WON'T" said past Grand
George l.. Robinson, and then tn MEM
bers began to smell big sized rat, and
here Is the "rat."
Early in 1895, on the evening of that
year that the officers of the lodge were in
stalled, Past Grand Robinson approached
Past Grand Alexander Mcintosh and said
in most pleading way, "Now Brother
Mack, want you to make an effort to
come to the meeting often" This re-
mark rather took the wind out of Brother
smack" for the lodge never had a more
regular attendant than he. Brother
smack" stepped back pace or two, and
eyed Brother Robinson from head to
foot, and repeated, Brother Robinson
attend more of the meetings during the
year than you do"
The bet was made, with Recording Sec
retary William A. Wilson referee. Side
bets were made, and at first Robinson
was the favorite. Brother Joseph You'll
den said that Robinson would beat
"Mack" and he was SO sure OF the result
After while Brother Mcintosh got
tired OF filing second chair, so one night,
when Brother Robinson was not present,
said that IL he lost cracker and cheese
would be the feed, but IL he could beat
Robinson, why the supper would be q
good one, for thP members were all
aware OF the fact that Brother Robinson
never did anything by half, and from
that on Mcintosh was first choice.
On the evening OF the first Meeting in
1896 the result was made known and Me-
1ntosh had been absent three and Robin
son five evenings. II was then decided
that the supper should be served on a
regular meeting night, and at any time
that suited the loser, but none was to
know the date. So since that item the
members have been watching and waiting
for the feast, and 1t came, last evening,
st Victor Gelb's. When all had had their
fill, Brother Joseph Youlden's cigars
were passed, and then the second edition
OF the fun began. OF course Brother
Robinson was chairman OF the committee,
tcastmaster, and as one brother called
Grands Mulchahey, Mcintosh, @. ID
Rounds, Charles W. Butler, Noble Grand
John l.. Schroeder, Vice Grand Emory
Peck, Recording Secretary William A.
Wilson and Treasurer Albert Fenner TO
assist him. Brothers Robinson and Nc
Intosh were given three hearty cheers,
ana at IL o'clock all stood and sang
"Auld Lang Syne," and after shaking
hands with Brother Robinson, who was
the happiest man in Providence, went to
their homes, wishing for another event
of the same sort.

"a Midnight Bell" Keith's, March 30.

Hoyt's " Midnight Bell'' is generally
conceded by press and public TO be the
masterpiece Of all his comedies, and the
cast that has been specially engaged for
the presentation in this city at Keith's

an ideal one. The favorite comedian,
Digby Bell, and his charming wife Laura
Joyce-Bell, the eminent contralto, will
be seen in the stellar roles of deacon
Tidd" and the "spinster." They will
be supported by an exceptionally bril-

Hodges building on Weybosset street,
which has been looked at and, IL is
thought, favorably. II is too early to spec

Is popular IL evidenced by the fact that on an

advantage of the generous offer of the man

the children obtained for them. The rule is,
when girls are unattended by escorts to give

seated In tho balcony. At times Mr. Chase
