CHICAGO, Sept 21-Ous Skinner pro-
duced his new romantic comedy, Prince
Rudolph at the Grand Opera House this
evening. The play is prettily mounted the
costuming being especially handsome ana
effective. Mr.. Skinner scored a success IN
the title role and the supporting company
shared his honors.
Prince Rudolph" is comedy brightly
written and full of strong situations and
dramatic climaxes. 1t is founded on the
theme of one of Robert Louis Stevenson's
earlier stories. The story the play tells is
an interesting one. Rudolph Wilhelm,
prince of Kronfeld, has contracted a love-
less marriage with Edora, the daughter Of
a neighboring grand duke. They have
agreed to disagree, and he, as a solace to
the lady, has turned the affairs of the
principality into her hands Edora has
prime minister schemer who Is using her
as puppet to further his own ends, he be-
ing a reY0lutionist who would overthrow
the reigning prince and place himself at
the head OF a republic to be formed, but his
influence over the princess is so great that
she believes absolutely IN him. Belated one
night on hunting expedition, the prince
takes refuge at the cottage of farmer
where he learns that scandal is rife with
the name of his wife and the prime min
lister; that his wife is detested by every
one. and that he himself is the butt of
ridicule for his subjects; he also learns
OF the revolutionary projects of the prime
minister. Returning to the palace while
IL pail Is IN progress ne makes the
astonishing discovery that his wife is an
exceedingly pretty woman, and he also
falls in love with her. She refuses to listen
to his pleadings. The following morning at
a meeting of the council, which is being
held to further the interest of the prime
minister, Rudolph for the first time in the
history of his reign, appears and takes
control. He also a little later seriously
considers the idea of removing the princess
from her regency. This Anglers the lady,
and at the instigation of the prime minister
she signs a warrant for Rudolph arrest, it
being still within her power TO do so. The
prince is arrested and taken away, but the
princess having had her eyes open as to the
true character of her prime minister, re-
penis, and an order is issued for the inn
mediate liberation of her husband. Mean
while, the revolt has come; the princess
fees from the palace; she goes to the fort
ress prison where her husband has been
taken to ask his forgiveness; arriving too
late, she finds him gone. He knows she is
finding her at the palace he finally traces
her TO the farmhouse, which is the locale of
the first act and there, for the princess has
found her Rudolph's worth, she pleads for
giveness and acknowledges the love which
has come so late The rebels, meantime,
have burned the palace, but Rudolph cares
little for that-he has found his wife and
she has found her love for him. But, as
she falls fainting in his arms. news comes
that the revolt has been suppressed and
the princely lover wins not only his wife
back to him, but also his kingdom.

players had the best of Watkinss pennant
winners in both games to-day, so far as
hits went, but the more CHASTITY errors
made by the Tigers in the first game lost
them the chance to win. The second game
was by agreement beforehand only a five
inning affair. Goar and Irwin, the latter
being Detroit's new pitcher, twirled in the
first game. Goar had slightly the better
control and pitched a good game through
out ending four different innings by strike
outs. He was touched up much more freely
at intervals however, than was Irwin, who
never.let up on his speed throughout, and
on paper Detroit should have won. The
Tigers took the lead in the second inning
on three singles, two free bases and errors
by Wood and Flynn. In the third and
fourth innings, however, the Indians, who
got only three hits in the two innings, were
aided by Illness, Davis's and Stenfeldt's
