 AS STAGE MANAGER
Will Direct Afternoon Perform ances Soon to Be Given
 at the AlcaZar.
Many of Henrik Ibsen's Works Will Be Presented to the Society
 Folk of the City.

A series of afternoon performances will soon be given at the Alcazar Theater- The management states that 1t will be a society event and bid for the intelli- gence and culture of the city. The plays given will be the works of Henrik 1bsen and Maurice Maeterlinck, and, among others, "A Dolls House. Pillars Of Society,"" 'Hedda Gabler,'' Ghost Walks '"The Intruder" 'The Blind and "The Seven Princesses" will be pre- serfted by the clever stock company now on the boards at the theater.
 IbSen'S plays are considered second only to Shakespeare and as $. l.. Alderman is to act as stage manager during the performances in the afternoons, large crowds will without doubt encourage the new departure. The spirit of enterprise exhibited by the management is buoyed fidence of the public, and the time In which the performances will be given de- bends upon the reception accorded them.
 MT. Alderman, who will act as stage manager, is a well-known society and club man, and has often assumed charge of the productions presented by amateur society people in this city. MT. Alderman believes that the plays will tend to ele- vate theatricals in general. and as society will gather on the first night to witness "A Dolls House." a continued success Is looked for. The new stage manager does not interfere with the duties of others during the regular evening performances but nc has entered the idea with the de termination to bring off the plays in the best manner possible.

 There are two versions of the trouble. One is that Miss Nelson made herSelf eX- tremely obnoxious to the other members of the company by her efforts to monop- olfze the stage and the faVors or the tu- diences. It is charged that ali the ep- plause was taken to herself and that none of the others was permitted to snare III the concentrations.

She had several stormy interviews with the manager, but when he insisted that she make herseir less conspicuous she, too, retired.
