DRAMATIC ODDS AND ENDS.

- " What Happened to Jones" is the title
duced last season. 1t will be given at
the the Grand with clever company, includ-
ing George w. Larsen, Walter Lennox
Sr, Barney McDonough, Gilbert Card
ner, Harry Levian, j. w. Cope, Robert
Bowen, Anita Bridges, Laura Case, Dor
Shepherd and Ada Craven.
Robert Mantell, the eminent romantic
actor Will be seen at the Grand at an
early date in The Dagger and the
Mantelrs art is said to shine with pc
culiar lustre.
Hoyts "a Stranger In New York" will
be presented in this city shortly. The
play is brilliant farcical skit and full
OF theatrical ginger" There are new
Hoytian jokes and good vaudeville spe-
cialties of an interesting and entertaining
character.
The opening of the Hopkins Trans
Oceanic Star Speciality company at the
Grand will doubtless be to a crowded
mouse, for such an aggregation Of stars
has never before been seen in one COM
pany The stellar feature is Mile Mar
celia and her family Of eighty trained
ctockatoos, parrots, macaws and ravens,
raved for a year. Equally attractive
features are: The three Quitanos, panto-
minists from Vienna; Fake and Semon,
musical comedians, A o. Duncan, ven
tramp and soubrette; George c. Davis,
mimic; Max MILAN and Shields, travesty
artists; Morello troupe in speciality and
trick dog feats; Anna Kenwick In coon
songs and buck dancing.
1t must not be supposed that the ref
erences in the newspapers to "Kelly's
Kids" refers to a brand of gloves or to
Unframed young goats. "Kel1y's Kids"
are the children of the prolific brain Of
that prince Of humor:sts and caricatur SITS,
R. F. Outcault, who has introduced them
to blaze world through the columns
Of the New York Sunday World, and
they are the favorites of millions of read
ers. T. W. Dinkins has had musical
farce comedy made Of the world stories
and with a high-class company of Sc
lected artists will present it on the road
this season, which will be one of the
great fun-making engagements at the
Grand at an early date.
Among the new stars ct the Grand this
season will be Howard Hall, in his orig
inal romantic play, "a Soldier Of the EN-
pire." Mr.. Hall will be seen as Capt.
Gilbert dc Montville, a young officer of
the Imperial Hussars, a style of role
in which he has been pre-eminently sue
cessful. His. supporting company Is said
to be one Of the very best that will go
out this season, and includes among
others, Miss Laura Alberta, Miss Rose
Stahl and Mr. William Walcott.

PERSECUTION OF THE JEWS.
1t Figures in the Plot of "Zorah,'
Coming Next Week.

The attraction at the Metropolitan for
the week Of Sept. "a, following Vests
Ministries, will be the famous Jewish
melodrama, "Zorah,' the strongest and
most sensational drama of the season.
In its novelty Of conception and theme,
as we'll as in the strength Of its dramatic
situations, this play ranks with Zangwill's
THE Children Of the Ghetto" The lat
ter play deals with the Jew in London,
while ''zorah" tells Of the Jew in Russia,
where the children of Israel are subject
ed to the most rigorous and unreulitllng
persecution.
The scenic effects of Jacob Lifts pro-
duction of ''Zorah" are said to be ex-
tremely elaborate and very hands me.
The locale of the play is Russian, three
of the acts taking place in Moscow, and
one In the Algachi mine in Western ST.
IBERIA. The first act is placed IN ona of
the quaint bazars or shops of the He
brew quarter of Moscow, and it
Is said that the mise en- scene is
exceptionally picturesque, and to have
been reproduced from actual photogra phs
The second and fourth acts are laid in a
reception room in the government 3alace,

mine. All of the scenery has bean paint

The animal kingdom usually gets the
worst of it when scientists start out to
experiment. Two Chicago doctors met
in a cigar store the other day and be-
gan to comment on "penny-in-the-
slot" electrical machine. One allowed
that the cigar store cat could stand the
shock without tlinching. The other vol
unteered to hold the cat if his friend
would furnish the penny. So the two
grave and learned men rounded up the
cat and one held the animal in his hand,
grasping the knob of the machine with
the other. His companion dropped in
the penny, grasped the other knob,
turned on the current and grabbed the
cats tail. And then the air was filled
with sparks and fur and howl that at
tracted all the small boys in the neigh
borhood. The first doctor bought the
cigars.

Rushing Through Life.

The nervous excuses of to-day
cause unhappiness and depression.
Modern civilization 10 very complex,
competition is fierce, and life is full of
fret and fever. In kind of frenzy men
rush through the weeks, not living life,
simply consuming it. The trains are
never still, the fires in the factories never
go out; even at midnight the thunder
of commerce is heard upon the street.
The commercial spirit so dominates our
era, says DR.. Newell Dwight Hills, in
Ladies' Home journal, that many are
mere patent animated machines,
doomed to wait on bales of goods and
tend their bonds and books. An age of
telephones and railways, when indus
tries are highly specialized, when the
modern newspaper is as large as an an
cient book, involves high pressure brain
action. If the Indians are dying out be-
cause brain and nerve are too soft for
our highly complex civilization, many
of our people also are going down with
nervous wreckage, through the fierce
strain to which they are constantly sub
jected. Also in this country of ours,
where the resources are as yet unde-
veloped and wealth may still be made
rapidly, the stimulants to ambition and
avarice are excessive. If to-day we
note the number of mans interests,
and the range and scope of his emo
tons and sympathy, the modern citizen
lives more in single year than did his
ancestors in century. Modern educa-
ton also is increasing the tension. Only
six presidents can be chosen in gen.
GRAFTON and there are over 65,000,O00 of
people, yet daily our pupils are remind
ed that every boy may expect to be
president. Prizes and contests stimu-
late our youth to the last point of nerv-
Gus tension, until boys and girls of ten
and twelve remind us of the race horses
that are "gaunted up" for the race with
scourge and spud. Forgetting that cul-
ture comes from knowing one subject
WELL" women also take all knowledge
for their province, and, coming to-
gether, try to climb themselves to
death. What wonder that our genera.
ton has dull eyes, muddy cheeks and
sleepless nights! How inevitable our
depression and gloom!

recently been disinfected. Mrs. Craig
