King and Dancer

One Of the most dramatic events in
the vacillating career of Frederick the
Great was the appearance at his court
OF La Barbarina, the Italian dancer and
intriguer and the bloodless battle he
won, avoiding the snares thrust in his
path, was afterwards referred to by
him as the greatest battle OF his life.
This incident is prominently referred
to in the coming production of Fred
orick the Great" by Lewis Morrison.
The role of La Barbarina is played by
that charming actress, Florence Rob
erts, who infuses into the character a
subtlety that borders upon genius. The
scene between Frederick Newis Morri-
SOM and la Barbarina is one Of the
most exquisitely delicious exchanges OF
humorous repartee presented in many
years and the final interview OF these
people is a picture Of such delicate and
pathetic shading as to bring tears TO
the most blase. IL will be presented at
the Opera House tomorrow night.

Bic Fonses at DookstaderIs

The bill at Dockstader's this week
continues to draw crowded houses.
Miss Carrie Behr is the bright star on
the bill, and her act is one OF the
sprightliest and best that has been
given at the theatre for a long time.
Many have been to see her the second
and even the third time during the
week. Her Interpretation OF Sister
Mary James Top Note" is particularly
clever. Oscar p. Sisson and Miss Wal
lace make up another strong feature,
the comedy work of the former and the
singing of the latter being far above
the ordinary. The coon comedians,
Swan and Orlay, have long been favor
ties at Doc kstader's. The genuine
black-face comedian is always appre-
ciated on any bill, and there is no dis
counting the genuineness of this pair
Mr.. Fox and his terrier, 'Foxey," fur
nish an act that sparkles with origi-
nality, and the almost human inteli-
gence OF "Foxey" is wonderful indeed.
The other features Of the bill are good.
Manager Dockstader is well pleased
with the attendance OF the week, and
has every reason 20 feel that his ef-
fort to rrovide his patrons with legiti-
mate vaudeville entertainment is beine
appreciated.

The Winters Tale

In THE Winters Tale" which will
be presented at the Opera House by
Louis James, Kathryn Kidder and
James B. Hanford, on Saturday might,
October %, Miss Kidder appears in a
double role. In the first four acts Miss
Kidder impersonates Hermione, the
noble, pure, falsely accused queen of
Stella, wife or LeOntes. by ner sweet
courtesies to her husbands guest, Po-
hxenes, the king of Bohemia, she rouses
the very demon of jealousy in Leontes,
who imprisons her and has her brought
to public trial that he may prove her
false to him. This trial scene is most
intensely strong. Hermione defends
herself before the king, majestically
simply powerfully, believed by
the whole court, and yet he jeers at
her. Messengers from the oracle OF
Apollo pronounce her chaste and the
king dehes the oracle and the gods
when with a terrific crash lightning
strikes the temple OF justice and in his
terror at the anger OF the gods the
kings eyes are opened and he realizes
that he has been mad. Kathryn Kid
der Is superb in this scene, regal in her
clinging, classic robes of pure white.
Inc transformation IS WOnQefIul
when she appears in the next act as her
daughter, Perdita, the child who has
been cast away, now a maiden OF 16
the supposed daughter of the shepherd
who had found her on the rocks She
Is sweet and girlish, shy but dignihed
and the very incarnation Of grace. The
act, after the turbulent ones that pre-.
ceded dt, comes as a glimpse OF sun
shine after a storm. It is pretty, bright
pastoral, full of life and Joy. There Il
a dance of shepherds and shepherd
esses that is one Of the most beautiful
things imaginable, in which Miss Kid
der enters with a joyous abandon tha
is delicious. Her magnificent body IL
its soft draperies, now hidden now re
vealed in the wild dance is beautiful
almost beyond description.

FRANKIE WELSH WAS EASY
Plucly Little Fighter Had No Time
With Mccall Last Mig 1t.

WIFI MCOdu Last NlB VI.
A large audience gathered in the
Academy Of Music last night to witness
the semi mi-monthly BOLTS OF the Empire
Athletic Club.
The most interest was centered in
the wind-up between frankie Welsh,
Of Philadelphia, and "Skeet" Mccall, Of
this city. The go was for fifteen
rounds, and many predicted that unless
"Skeet" put his man out in six rounds
he would lose the fight. In this they
were mistaken, for during the entire
contest Frankie was simply not "in II" "
He was afraid OF Mccall, as he evinced
by his running tactics, chasing himself
about the ring only to avoid absolute
defeat.
Mccall weighed in at o'clock, tip
ping the scales at 10 pounds Welsh
refused to mount the scales. There was
no fighting of any account except in
the sixth round, when both men warm
ed up a bit.
The fifteen-round go between kid
Bernisconi, OF Philadelphia, and Jack
Haggerty, OF Trenton, was good one
from start TO finish, some hard fighting
being INDUCED in. Bernisconi was
given the decision, his many right
hand jabs over his opponents heart
counting for much with the referee.
