TWO NEW TEMPLES
TO Be Erected by the Christian Scien-
lists in Chicago.

Chicago. Feb. 1.-Chicago Christian
Scientists have subscribed $4,000 within
the last ten days towards the erection
of two costly new temples, one for the
North side, and the other for the West
side congregations, to be dedicated
some time before the close of the pres
ent year, and which will be equal arch
dtecturally to the First church, in Drex-
el boulevard, on the South side, dedi-
Gated one year ago.
The main idea, of the Christian Scien-
lists is to possess three temples in Chi
cago, one for each division of the city
which will be conducive to the spread
of the belief in these divisions of the
city.

Chorus of Jersey city coppers:
ADJUSTMENTS.
Academy of Music.

It is a long time since the Academy of
Music held such a gathering OF the 1alr
sex as it did at the matinee yesterday
Andrew Mack and his new play, The
Last of the Rohans.' were the magnets
that drew the ladies out and kept them
constantly entertained from the rising of
the curtain on the first act until its hnal
fall on the last. 1t is beyond question
that Mr.. Mack's latest play fits him bet
ter than anything he brought here in the
past. There is just a sufficient blend of
comedy, sentiment and thrills, and the
comedy is of the kind that Mr.. Mack en-
Joys so thoroughly himself that his list
eners cannot help being affected. They
not only laugh at him, but with him At
one or two points in the play there is a
suspicion of tears. but they are quickly
dispelled with a fresh CLEAN Of comedy.
Mr.. Mack makes no second visit this
season to the Academy. A word to the
wise is sufficient.
An entertainment which Will undoubt-
eddy prove one of the most popular of the
season has been booked by Charles Froh-
man at the Academy of Music for next
week. The play is sPhroso.'' a dramatic
cation of that most charming novel by
Anthony Hope. the author of the "Pris-
oner oil Zenda," and that most popular
artist Odette Tyler viii be seen In the til
tie role. There is much to make this one
of the events of the season. Not only is
Miss Tyler a most pronounced favorite
but in addition to her being assisted by a
special company of extraordinary merit
there will be seen on the stage here the
complete Empire Theatre scenic produc-
ton in all its magnificent proportions
Just as was used during the highly sue
cessful run OF 'sPhrosos there.
The play has proven n of the most
popular staged In recent years and de-
servedly so for 1t has in all the elements
to please all classes of theatre patrons.
The heart interests are aroused and the
sympathies are excited. 1t tells a beau
tiful love story and has in it a mixture
of the light heroic and comedy which is
most pleasing.
Miss Tyler as the Lady Of Neapolia,
has scored a triumph. Great as was her
success In Secret Service as Caroline
Milford her 'sPhroso,' has exceeded 1t.
The part fits her to a nicely. It calls
for a mingIing of childish petulency. girl
ish caprice, and feminine love of fun that
so fits her personality that IL is sne de-
| clares of all the roles she has played
the best to her liking. Lord Wheatley
in the play is Robert D. MaeLean who is
well known here and his success as the
Engiishman has been of the very highest
order. Such is a brief resume of what
may be expected and the probabilities are
| that a crowded house VIII greet each per-
Torrance. The stage story deals very
| largely with the fight between Constant
tine, the old lords nephew. Mouraki
Pasha. the Turkish governor and Lord
| Wheatley the new purchaser of the
| island. The dramatist has made it one
| Of the most unique in situations ever con-
ceived. The interest is never allowed to
flag and throughout the play can be said
to be one of the most interesting ever
put on the stage.
