Miss Larry Al Infantry Nall.

very unique and novel entertain
ment was presented to a small audi
ence i'm Infantry Hall last evening by
it's originator. Mr.: Alexander Black,
and IL is safe to say that three times
the number listeners would have
greeted that talented gentleman had 1t
been understood how thoroughly real
istic was this picture play"
The author of Miss Jerry" on intro
ducing himself and his work to the au-
dience explained his idea of depicting
the different attitudes OF his characters
during conversations held by them, and
the vivid impression made on the re-
ceptive mind, an impression never TO
be attained by mere description. The
story itself is a pretty one, outlining
the trials and experiences OF young
newspaper woman in New York city,
and contains the requisite amount of
romance necessary TO hold the hearers
closest attention, and is altogether a
charming piece of work.
Several of the photographs were
especially fine one, a series of vision
views" by freight being very artistic.
Others of different sections of the me-
tropolis were exceptionally good. and
the drop curtains added not "A little to
the beauty Of the play. Miss Jerry"
herself is a winsome young lady, and
the other characters have carried out
the authors idea wonderfully well in
their impersonation before the camera.
These picture plays bid fair to be-
come quite popular, and If Miss Jerry"
is q fair specimen of the new art they
are fully worthy of the delightful criti-
cisms passed upon them by the leading
literary people of the country.

War Drama at the Star Theatre.

History will repeat itself at Aliens
Star Theatre next week. The Maine"
is DESTROYED. war is declared, Santiago
Is taken. and a score of other thrilling
incidents occur at each performance.
All these things happen in The
Maine Avenged" a melodrama, by
Hamilton Harris, former prominent
actor. who has emerged from retire
ment to give the public another addi-
tion to the crop of war plays.
The first act shows two officers plot
ting the destruction of the Maine"
They are overheard by a sentry who,
i'm reality. is n cuban spy. Just as one
of the Spaniards, Lieut.. Castares. is
about TO touch the button that viii
blow up the vessel. the spy breaks
into the room. discloses his identity and
the fact that he possesses n letter which
convicts the lieutenant Of treason. The
two fight q duel and the Spaniard falls.
Jose the spy. releases an American
Imprisoned I'm an adjoining cell. Mean
while. the Spaniard manages to press
the fatal button before he expires. and
the el"Maine' is seen to go up i'm smoke.
This gives the play n good start and
the succeeding acts show the Cabanas
prison. where Nadalina, sister of Jose.
is rescued: a Spanish outpost. where
the wife of Col Bostana makes trouble
for him. and. finally. Gen. Garcia s
Headquarters before Santiago. where
Col Bostana is proved 10 he villain

deserts and where. with the fall Of
Santiago, the play's title comes true.
MIR. Harris himself plays Jose with
considerable ability: and he is ably
supported by very strong company.

FRANCE PREPARING FOR WAR.

Paris. Nov. 10.-There is little doubt
that the news of French naval prepara-
tions is i'm the main correct. Admiral
Fournier has arrived in response to NJ.
Lockroy's summons. and the two have
already held a long conference with sew
eral admirals at the ministry Of marine.
II is believed that NJ. Lockroy intends
set-off TO the British demonstration at
Portsmouth. and ii Is rumored that he
will increase the French feet at the cost
of /, ,000. 900. 900 francs. which will be OBJ
tained by a conversion Of rentes into 2A
percent. The admirals, IL Is understood.
have reported all the coast defenses In
complete state Of readiness. At Algiers
there is the greatest activity. The forts
have been fully manned and the de-
fenses improved.

PROVIDENCE OPERA HOUSE.
Miss Rshan Gives a Charming Performance Of
Katherine In The Tanning Of the ShreM."

IL was a memorable night that closed
the too brief engagement of Mr.. Angus
tin Days company at the Providence
opera house. The audience completely
filled the handsome house from gallery
TO carpeted floor, and 1T was such an
audience as Providence always turns
out to reward the best I'm dramatic art
with it's favor, "a discriminating, ap-
preciative and cordial company that it
must be special delight for the folk
on the stage to face. The bill selected
was Shakespeares rollicking comedy
The Tanning OF the Shrew." Miss
Rehan has established a name for her
self in the sympathetic part of Kathe-
rine, and her Interpretation last even
ing was accomplished with combined
delicacy and heartiness that immensely
delighted the expectant audience. In
deed. the whole production was I'm the
nature OF a dramatic treat. Shake
speare is rare with us these days. Miss
Rehan is more rare. And Katherine is
pictured for us only at long intervals.
Mr.. George Clarke as the raging. low
ing and long-headed Petrucio, the
bridegroom who realized the job that
was cut out for him, but never fiinched.
because the charming Katherine was
eminently worth the game, gave a
vigorous and entirely happy interpreta-
ton OF this particularly choice subject,
the sub-plot that has to do with the
love affair of Blanca and Lucentio was
prettiy done, Mr.. Varrey gave a COM
posed and hearty Baptiste, Mrs. Gil
bert was a quaint and fetching Curtis,
and the whole production danced mer-
rily on from curtain TO curtain, to the
uninterrupted delight of the audience.
1t was "a performance to be grateful
for.
Tonight the stage at the Providence
is taken by about the most popular and
crowd drawing actor that comes to
town in the course of a season-Mr. Sol
Smith Russell. with a new play by
Martha Morton, of the homely Russell
type, and an unadvertised speech OF
the star pretty sure TO come between
the acts. The new piece is named
Uncle Dick" and Mr.. Russell has al
ready made a success in IL. Ii is said
that il affords him opportunity to dis
play his uniquely uuiet methods to even
better advantage than anything he has
offered before. Miss Morton has made
a study of Mr.. RusselFs style. and the
new piece is described as fitting to a
dot. Especial pains have been taken
in mounting "Uncle Dick" and some
novel stage effects. grand scenery and
beautiful costuming will be seen. The
supporting company is the most ex-
tensive Mr.. Russell has ever carried.
There will be three evenings and a Sat
urday matinee of the popular comedian.

Spaniards Given Time to Study Amer.
ica's Rejoinder to Proposals.

Paris, Nov. 10.-The joint session Of the
peace commission yesterday was short
because Senior Rios and Judge Day con-
Cured in the service Of the American
rejoinder upon the Spanish commission
ers without a formal reading OF the
paper. which would occupy many col
umns I'm an ordinary newspaper and an
adjournment was taken until Saturday.
IT is quite safe to say that the Ameri-
cans have made no new propositions re-
gardng the possession of the Philippines,
but confined themselves to a discussion
OF the proposals and assertions made by
Spain at the previous meeting. Just
what were the terms OF the American
rejoinder cannot, Of course, be ascer-
tanned. But despite persistent asser-
tions here to the contrary, there is no
ground, as has already been cabled, for
the Spanish contention that the United
States acquiesced, at the signing Of the
protocol. In some reservation by Spain
of her Philippine sovereignty. This ut
terly unfounded rumor is now quite well
understood to have come from a high
source In sympathy with the United
states.
