SPORTING LIFE. COMING.
1t VIII Certainly Be Seen Here This
Season.

1t Will Certainly he Seen Here THIS
Season.
It has been definitely decided by Jacob
Lift that his many friends here shall
have chance to see his greatest produc-
ton, Sporting Life" here this season,
and in all it's first flush of most sensa-
tionally successful season The play Is
still running at the McVicker, in Chicago,
and the eleventh week starts tonight,
with as good prospects as any of the for
mer weeks. The run this production has
had I'm Chicago this spring has been SIM
ply phenomenal, and 1t looks as though
Mr.. Lift could continue the play there
all summer. but so many of his admirers
here have begged to let them have
chance to cheer this superb presentation
that he could not refuse.
The story of the success of Sporting
Life is known from one end Of the coun-
try to the other. First came its original
production in New York at the Academy
o. Music, and the New York press was,
for a wonder, unanimous in praise. For
twenty weeks the biggest theater in New
York was packed to the doors at every
performance, and then Mr.. Lift took
Sporting Life to McVicker's theater,
where 1t has scored the sensation of the
season, indeed the sensation of many
seasons. The tenth week has Just been
completed, and still the crowds continue
his big house is not twice as large as it
is. In Chicago the papers have been
fully as enthusiastic as the critics were
in New York. They have praised the
play as being the best melodrama ever
seen in the Windy City, they have praised
the production as being the finest scenic
presentation ever witnessed anywhere.
and they have credited Mr.. Lift in hav-
Ing collected the best company ever gath
cred on any Chicago stage Thew have
sounded the whole gamut of praise with
heartiness and unanimity which is most
fatterins. Now Mr.. Lift promises to
bring here the whole production intact

and for nearly as many in Chicago be-

MANSFIELD AS CYRANO.
He Is Scheduled to Appear Here
Late This Month

Late This Month
Richard Mansfield comes the last three
days of this month He will present his
great creation and production of "Cyrano
dc Bergerac, as given during the New
York run. Cyrano is a most fascinating
character. There is, first of all, pic
turesqueness about his deformity that at
tracts, but as his spirit gradually unfolds
In deformity that attracts, but as his
spirit gradually unfolds in all it's Iargess
OF nobility, its tender regard, its sublime
trust In the reward of right-doing, 1t exer-
cises magnetism that is not to be with
stood. In the assumption of the role by
Mansfield this powerful influence is large
ly explainable by the fact that Mansfield
is Cyrano and Cyrano is Mansfield Never
In all his versatile presentations has the
actor found such congenial character
To level his lance at every sham because
he despises trickery and deceit, is for
Mansfield to be himself There was once
a real Cyrano. He bore an enormous nose,
and Moliere stole his plays. This, how
ever, is a matter of unimportant detail
Cyrano, as Rostand, has created him, is
henceforth living character, even as
Hamlet Is immortal. His ready wit his
poetic temperament, his tremendous
moral and physical courage, his self-de-
NAL and self-abnegation are some of his
heroic attributes. Doomed to lifelong
ugliness, which excites ridicule rather
than pity, there is yet no note of disap-
pointment in his gay badinage, no re-
proachful bitterness In his view of life.
His physical valor, his skill as a swords
man, can defend him, if needed be, from
outward assault, but the drawer quality of
manly soul enables him to conquer the
inward blue devils which might be ex-
pected to conquer him, and lead him
captive into the dungeons of moroseness
and despair.

ropolitan with his British Qua d band,
which has created 50 remarkable a fu-
rore during their present touc of the
United States which b gan at the White
house early in March before President
Mckinley.
The name of Dan Godfrey is house-
hold word in Great Britain. In this the
first general tour of the Uni ed States
yet undertaken by an English military
band, Lieut.. Dan Godfrey and his red
coated British Guards have won the
hearts of the public by their splendid
melody. The band has b2en commended
by the critics of the East and the met
ropolitan cities as being the finest yet
heard in America. Its distinctive must
cal features are the beauty of tone, the
remarkable blending of the ensemble and
the delightful orchestral effect all brassi-
ness is avoided ard the wood wind pre-
dominates.

err the Opening attraction.
After being closed for a week the Grand
opera house will reopen for a further
term of two weeks and, in view of the
lateness of the season, a scale of popular
prices will prevail. For the first half of
the week, beginning tonight and ending
Wednesday matinee, will be seen the
young romantic actor, True s. James, and
company in "a Royal Prisoner which
met with such a cordial reception at the
Grand a few weeks ago. For the last
half of the week, and commencing
Wednesday night Mr.. James and his
company will present Don Caesar de
Bazan.' OF the many plays Of a romantic
nature that have been written, none are
more prolific in romantic sentiment, or il
lustrate more forcibly the intrigue, love
and chivalry of the time the play treats
of. In the title role, Mr.. James is said to
have found a most congenial character
ization, that exhibits to advantage his
graceful stage presence and his excellent
acting talents.
The cast of "a Royal Prisoner will re-
main unchanged, except Mr.. C. A. Boyd
will replace Mr.. Book In the role of Count
Ivan Schouvaloff, Miss Mabel r. Griffith
will succeed Miss Rodgers in the role of
Elizabeth and Miss Marie Moore will APP
pear as Theodore.
Augmenting the dramatic performance
there will be two special features of de-
cided attractive interest. The first is the
special engagement for the week of the.
celebrated animatograph, an English ma
chine of moving picture type. A very en-.
tertaining repertoire of views will be
given, including the following: The
Cuban Episode, humorous view en-
titled Chicken Stealing, the launch of the
warship Illinois, the battleship New York
entering New York harbor, the run of the
New York fire department, a thrilling rep
resentation of a storm at sea, a view en-
titled After the Storm, the arrival of tho

train, the vanishing lady, the sleeping

of the Spanish army, the wonderful per-
forming elephants, view showing Nc
Kinley and Cleveland going to the capt.
toll, Mckinley taking the oath of Office,
the umbrella brigade, the morning wash,
the pillow fight, the burning stable, sleigh
riding in Central park and ouners. There
will be another special and highly enter
tanning feature in the engagement ofqthe
'Fata Morgana,' a series of the most.
artistic stereopticon pictures ever given in
this city.
Special summer prices will govern this
engagement.

alike. Lieut.. Godfrey avoids all clap trap
display and devotes himself to tie pro-
duction of pure melody relying on its
excellence and effect with bJilliancy and
charm that has never been heard from
any band. An opposite extreme, the new
Patrol March, by Ivan Caryll, repre-
scnting the approach, march past and the
disappearing into the distance of a regi-
ment, is remarkable in it's imitation of
marching feet. In encore numbers
Sousa's marches and other popular pieces
are found following fast upon Wagner,
Guonod, Mozart and other selections from
great masters. AS a finale, England
and America" the nautical number ar
ranged by Lieut. Godfrey for tn tour,
introduces the national and popular airs
of both countries, while describing the
union of the fleets. Here the lily of
the band is such that no meretricious out
side effects, such as real cannon, are ne
cessary, for the drummers represent to
the life the booming salutes Of the war
ships of the crash of thunder.
The soloists are of rare calibre, and the
cornetist, F. L. Kettlewell, the f1utist, E.
S. Redfern, are easily the first in Great
Britain, while the drummer, who gives a
solo in which he plays no less than twelve
different instruments, is little short Of
wonder.
the White house, the tour of the British
Guards has resulted in many interesting
international episodes. In New York the
band appeared side by side with the Sew
enth regiment musicians before a cheer
ing audience of 10000 people, and the New
York World described the occasion as a
God Save the Star Spangled Queen cele-
bration. In Boston Lieut. Godfrey and
his men won all hearts by turning out
to escort the homecoming of the Fifth
Massachusetts regiment, and the unique
scene was witnessed of the English red
coats leading the blue-coats of Uncle Sam
to the music of the British Grenadiers I'D
Bunker Hill, where a far different scene
was witnessed century and a quarter
before.
In Cleveland on May day occurred one
= Of the most singular of the many tri-
'phs gained in their present tour of
America by Lieut. Dan Godfrey. No less
than eight companies or bands turned
out in uniform and attended the perform
ance as a body, adding to the very
large numbers which filled the Cleveland
Grays armory in every nook and Granny.
Half way through the programme Lieut..
Godfrey was presented by the president
Of the Sons Of st. George with a beautt-
ful conductors baton costing 5000. In en-
anel on the baton the Union Jack and
Stars and Stripes were intertwined, and
in addition to the inscription of presenta-
ton was the motto, Blood is thicker
than water" Lieut.. Godfrey in his re-
Spouse mentioned that it was one of his
greatest pleasures in past years to know
that American mothers had taken an old
tune of his to sing as lullaby to their
babies, and then he played the Mabel
waltz. from which Mother, May 1 Go

THE STORMY PETREL.
How the Little bird Is Supposed to
Hatch Its Eggs


Hatch Its Eggs
London Strand
The stormy petrels nest just above the
Atlantic surf on the islets near Iona and
the Hebrides There above the rock on
certain islands is a black, buttery SOIL
in which they burrow like little winged
mice, and on a nest of sea pink lay one
white egg. AS the desertion of the re-
gions of light and air by birds is some
thing outside the natural course of their
lives, 1t leads to various and unexpected
social complications and domestic prob
lens. Among the latter is serious one
the difficulty of keeping the underground
house clean or moderately cool 1t is
usually very hot Sand-martins for in
stance, do not attempt to ventilate their
burrows as rabbits and rats do, neither
do kingfishers nor the stormy petre.s
when they make their own burrows, and
do not creep into chinks between piles
Of stones or rocks. Evidence of the high
temperature of this hot chamber where
| the young petrels are Matched is seen in
a very pretty popular belief IN the Outer
Hebrides.
The people say that they hatch their
eggs, not by sitting on them, but by sit
| ting near them, at a distance of six in
ches between them and the opening of the
burroW. Then the petrels turn their heads
toward the eggs and GOO at them day
and night, and so hatch them with their
song" This, which sounds like fable
of the East Atlantic islands, has really
q. basis in fact. Davenport Graham says
that the account Is very correct; though
| never heard the cooling noise by day,
l often did in the evening. 1t is rather
purring noise When its nest is opened
up the bird is usually found covering
few inches away. from its egg" This
hot and stuffy atmosphere may aid the
Matching of the eggs; but there is no
doubt that 1t brings into being other and
very undesirable forms of life. The nests
and burrows. of sand-martius are full of
most unpleasant insects, and those of the
kingfisher are nearly as bad

them. The company presenting Uncle
