at present the most talked of thing in
the theatrical world 1t was shelved a
few years ago by Bronson Howard,
having as he thought run its course.
The war with Spain awakened renewed
interest in the drama, however, and it
was produced by that shrewd manager,
Jacob Lift. He put it on at McVick-
er's Theater, Chicago, for summers 5
run, and it packed that theater to the
doors for ten weeks. 1t was not, how
ever put on in a cheap and fiimsy
way. An immense production Of it
was given with the greatest cast ever
employed in it's presentation. 1t is
this production and this company
which will be seen here shortly Re-
ports agree that no such splendid mill
tary spectacle has ever been seen on
the American stage. Over 200 people
are employed in the battle scenes, and
the company is headed by Maurice
Barrymore and Mary Hampton.
An entirely new and original play by
Anthony Hope and Edward Rose is to
be the feature of the opening Of the
London Court Theater The report
that a dramatization of Simon Dale"
would be presented was incorrect.
Charles Wyndham hopes to open
his new London theater in May. He
has already made arrangements to pro-
duce in it new versions of THE Dukes
Motto and of Don Caesar de Bazan,"
as we'll as new comedies by H. A. Jones
and Haddon Chambers. 1t is also as
serted confidently that Sir Henry Irv-
ing has relinquished to him the Eng
lish rights of "Cyrano de Bergerac," !"

Stylish Felt Walking
Hats for women.

Not two or three styles to pick
from, but a dozen or more. They
are all jaunty and stylish, and
becoming in their various styles
and colors to most any face;
most of them come in colors
black, green, navy, brown, red
and some royal blue; there's the
popular military felt hat with
it's brass and leather trappings;
the Fedora style, plain, with silk
bound edge and silk band
around, with bow; the Fedora
style with corded or silk bound
edge, silk band and with rosette
of ribbon and auil1s or fancy
wing OF ornament on the side.
These are the correct Winter
street hats, as they come out of
a shower as if new. Then, they
are so moderately priced-a fact
which also lends to their popu-
Iarity. Prices, 81 to $3.50.
