MORE THAN QUEEN.
ulia Arthur Has Genuine Triumph
in Her New PLAY.

Julia Arthur Has Genuine Triumph
in Her New Play.
Miss Julia Arthur presented "NIore than
Queen" a drama founded on the first
empire at the Park theatre, Boston, Wed
nesday night. Emile Bergerat wrote the
story and its dramatization was the
greatest success last season in Paris.
Miss Arthurs production is the first In
the English tongue and in every way
the first night was brilliant achieve
ment. The audience was fashionable.
The star was accorded a magnificent re-
ception.
The drama is intensely interesting and
staged in remarkable fashion. 1t forms
one of the most notable theatrical Incl
dents for many years in this city. The
theme of the story is from the romantic
eourtship and marriage Of Napoleon and
it brings out the human rather than the
public side of those two great figures in
history. Some of the accepted beliefs
In their lives have been departed from,
and Miss Arthur's Josephine was a char
acter far excelling any she has yet as
pired to portray. Through the thrilling
story of domestic relationship with Napo-
leon she was magnetic in her tempera-
ment sympathetic in voice and dazzling
in raiment and personal charm.
William Humphrey was Napoleon and
his portrayal was far different from the
usual SldEe type. Inc drama is In
prologue wherein Napoleon first meets
Josephine de Beauharnais, and five acts,
Of which the most beautiful as a stage
picture is the coronation at Notre Dame.
The belief of both Napoleon and Jose
phine in their destiny affords opportuni-
ties for climaxes which succeed each other
as only they can from the hand of a
master playwright.
The adaptation from the French to the
English he's brought no loss of chaPm
in wit, sarcasm or logic from the origi-
nal. Miss Arthur's company is large and
of unusual strength. The first production
accordingly had few, if any, faults.

Happy End.

Leicester, Oct. 7.-Chairman E. j.
McDermott Of the selectmen does not
think the board did anything out of the
way in taking the books of Tax Collect
or H. B. Watts and, in fact, he does not
see how the selectmen can be accused
of taking his books.
He said today: Zone hook was OBJ
tanned of Mr.. Watts by Mr. Booth ap-
plying for it,~but the rest were left at
the office of Blackmer & Vaughn, the
town counsel, by Mr.. Watts himself.
The matter would have been settled up
long ago but Mr.. Vaughan of the firm
Of Blackmer & Vaughan was absent in
Europe and the other partners in the
law office were not familiar with the
case

STAGE REALISM.
German Count Proves an Ideal Prop
erty Man.


Realism on the stage has always been
more or less of a hobby with Charles
Dickson, but this season he is said to be
having a surfeit of it, all through the
property man of his company. Mr.. Dick
son is playing Mistakes VIII Happen
out in the northwest. The property man
created a sensation by coming to the the
atre in a cab and being dressed in i'm
maculate attire.
Once inside the theatre, he got into his
working clothes, and Notwithstanding his
dudish appearance, he made good" He
spoke in a dialect that impressed Mr..
Dickson as a sort of German frappe.
When the props were given to the various
five dollar bills, three ones and some odd
change. He asked what the money. was
"yell'' said props, wen you say, all 1
change you hat got to hat it, -wot?''
Yes. but stage money will do. l may
lose this" said Mr.. Dickson.
"Neffer mind, | got more, was the an
Great Scot! why are you doing props
with such bunch of money!" cried the
comedian.

When Miss Esmond glanced at her sup
posed marriage certificate, she found the
genuine article, made out for Thomas
Genowin, actor, and Dorothy Maryland,
actress" the characters played by Mr..
Dickson and herself Props had gone. to
the blank and had filled in the names.
Then when Lansing Rowan, who is sup
posed to have suffered an accident, calls
for whisky, she got two good fingers of
the real article, and she couldn't imagine
what kind of cold tea she was taking.
While in Milwaukee props hunted IN all
the book stores TO find volume entitled
Treasures of Thought" which has to be
on a table in. the third act. AS the title
is fictitious, he left an order to have a
number of books made with the right
title on the covers. Mr.. Dickson, mar
yelling much, finally learned that props

the position to travel and see the coun-
try. He would not say more of his iden-
tity nor tell whence he came
