AT LoTHRoP's.

"A Man of Mystery" which appears
at Lothrops theatre this week, lays
bare a phase of city life which is little
understood to most people. The story
Of the play is something like this.
Richard Glenwood, nephew of a rich
physician, DR.. Leslie, poses as a sancti-
monious member of society, and is re-
spected by his friends as a model young
man. But he is leading a double life,
and is rhe leader of a gang of burglars
with secret den in the slums of New
York He is known to the police as the
SHADOW because they can never lay
hands on him. He plots to rob his I'M
Gle, and with some of his gang, is
caught at midnight, tampering with the
safe. He hypnotizes his uncle and
makes him open the safe. How the
marauders are foiled and how the
Shadow" dies at last" are brought
out dramatically during the progress of
the play, in scenes which are striking
in their intensity Brown and Mellow
ell, the managers, have given the piece
splendid scenic equipment, and as a
spectacle ii is as imposing as any
thing shown in the house. The COM
pany is composed of well known artists,
each Of whom has been chosen with
reference to his fitness to the part ne
performs Mr.. Van Kenzie, who plays
the Shadow" is actually in possession
of hypnotic power and has written a
power accidentally while a boy, but
rarely exercises it. He holds that it is
a gift, WHICH must not be abused, al
though in-the play he shows how easily
1t could be done by an INSCRIPTIONS
man.

Nethersole played fitfully over this tin
der prepared by Clyde Fitch. The vo-
ciferous audience received the resulting
explosions rapturously.
Certainly nothing could be more gor-
geous than the mise en- scene of the first
act of 'Sappho" The riot of color, the
brilliant costuming, the life and con-
slant movement and the exquisite
blending of music and painting which
characterize this act are unsurpassed

DUsE is SERIOUSLY ILL.

Eleanora Duse, the famous actress,
is seriously i'll in Vienna with infam-
nation of the lungs. Should she re-
cover her physicians say, she will not
be able to appear on the stage again
for a long time.
Her condition is pronounced so criti-
cal that there are many odds against
her recovery.
Nine. Duse is to Italy what Bern
hardt is to France. She is especially
effective in tragic and emotional roles,
and is noted for the somber and poeti-
cal Interpretation of her characters. AS
an actress in which the morbid side
of nature is depicted, she is reputed to
be the greatest in the world.
Nine Duse has appeared on the same
stage with Bernhard on notable occa-
sions. Several plays were written for
her by D'Annunzio, the great modern
Italian poet.
Nine. Duse appeared in this country
where she was tremendous artistic
success.

call Caught Mapping" There are lots
of possibilities in this title, and the
team promises to bring all of them out.
McPhee and Hill, the wonderful hor-
rlzontal bar experts, have a great act
and their performance seems impossi-
Bile, even after you have seen them do
it. The four Weston sisters, singing
and dancing condolences, are going to
make some revelations in the dancing
line, and they are said to differ from
most singers of their type. that they
have good voices. Caroline Hull, the
double voiced vocalist, promises to
make a hit in some new songs. Lima
and Nani, the European novelty duo,
who appeared last in Worcester with
Tony Pastors company at the WOr-
cester theatre, have a new act of a
laugh provoking nature. Another ac-
robatic act is that of Edward Estus,
the famous equilibrist. who has some
difficult balancing feats, and Fernan-
DEE, the Observation-Disclosures Will furnish
20 minutes of fine music.
