Nine. Emma Nevada. who is again
singing in this country for the first
time since her memorable appearance
in 1884. will visit Butte during her west
ern tour, the date reserved for her by
I.Manag ger Mcfarland being February a.
Although Nine. Nevada has sung al
| most continually in France, Austria
| and Italy since her debut in La Son
! nambula' at her Maiesty's theater in
| London in 1880, with the exception of
her visit to this country in 1884, her ca
| reer has been of a character which has
| kept her fame pretty constantly be-
| fore the eyes of the rest of the world.
| The incident of the Hellini statue at
! Milan, Italy in which, in tn garb CT
| Amina in La Sonnambula" she en-
I, belished the statue of marble, was an
| object lesson whose effects were felt
| everywhere. Another incident of sim
/ liar portent was the linking of the
names of Bernhard, Nevada and Duse
at the head of the programme which
all Paris witnessed for that reason
/ quite as much as because the occasion
was a benefit to raise funds for mon
| uinent to Alexander Dumas. More re-
Gently an incident which Inundated the
singer, only to end in eXalting her, was
| that of the Kisses of an audience at
| Seville, Spain, because she was an
American and her countryinen were en-
gagged in loosening the Spanish grip on
Cuba. Nine. Nevada did not enjoy be-
ing Missed, but the queen regent and
the Infanta Eulalie took pains to make
amends to the great artist. Afterwards.
in Madrid, the queen regent sent for
her, and after hearing her sing eX-
claimed, How wonderfully you sing;
you are in better voice than ever. How
could the public treat you so after
hearing your voice?" The next day as
Nevada was leaving the queen gave her
a bracelet of gold containing a mag
nificent uncut sapphire set in diamonds
She sang also for the Infanta Eulalie,
who said that the queens act repre-
scented the real Spanish feeling. The
press of New York, where Nine. Ne
vada recently concluded a series of
concerts at the Metropolitan opera
house is unanimous in declaring her
one of the present greatest vocalists
the world has ever known, and that as
a cantatrice she has no equal
Browns in Town." which will be at
the Grand next Sunday, is said to be
one of the brightest and cleanest COM
edies now on the stage, and is being
presented by a capable company. The
plot of the piece deals with the trou-
bles of Dick and Lefty Preston, two
young people who have been secretly
married and who are trying to con-
ceal their marriage from Dicks father.
The old gentleman has decided aver
, sion to marriage, probably as Dick
says. because he has been there him
self" and has vowed that if Dick does
marry before reaching the age of %
he will cut him off without cent Dick
! and Lefty have taken a cottage at
, Brighton and are living an ideal life
amid honeysuckles, hens and inquisi-
tive nefghbors, and of course the old
gentleman turns up. Dick is living
under the name of Brown at the cot
tage, and the older Preston takes a
friend of Dicks for Brown and Lefty
for Mrs. Brown. On his arrival Dick
has arranged for Suzanne Darce, a
friend of Letty's, to act as Mrs. Brown.
This eventually leads to the discovery
by the old gentleman that there are
two Mrs. Browns and the extraordinary
explanations that the young people
give for the unusual number of wives
on the part of the imaginary Brown
; keep Preston senior in whirl of eX-
, element for three acts.
Last week Richard Mansfield had a
t call from budding dramatist who
/ disclosed a remarkable idea in connec-
: ton with bodybuilding. The young
man explained his story with enthus-
} asn. There was originality in it, and
though there was not a character suit
: able for himself, Mr.. Mansfield per-
mitted the author to read the entire
scenario. Page after page was reeled
off and the plot thickened and thicken-
ed until the last act was reached. The
; story even here sped merrily along I'M
" til it was quite apparent that the cli--
; max was close at hand. The playwright
) read boldly up to this point and then
finished abruptly: Then he dies" and
proceeded to smooth and fold his manu-
script
That's scarcely satisfactory pro-
tested the star. How does he die!
You mustn't leave it solely to the i'm.
agination.'

The death hasn't come. I've or.

be here in week.
