1t VIII He the Fair week Attraction
1T the Metropolitan.
The dramatic version of Quo Vad;s,"
which is soon to be presented in this
city, should excite a. good deal of interest.
There is always a sense of pleasuraDle
excitement in the coming of a new play
and when 1t is developed from a widely
read and poular novel the interest nat
urally ranges very close to fever heat
Scarcely any book of comparatively re-
cent publication has been more widely
read than "Quo Vadis." For number
of seasons it was one of the best selling
novels in the market, and this advantage
VIII undoubtedly bear fruit in attracting
wide attention to the new play. 1t was
first produced last season at McVickers'
theater, in Chicago, and continues under
the able management of f. c. Whitney
and Edwin Knowles.
The Chicago engagement proved a great
surprise to everybody concerned for, al
though success was predicted for the play,
nobody anticipated the necessity of giving
two performances per day for two entire
weeks in order to accommodate the
thrOngs who besieged McVickers' theater
in the seventh and eighth weeks of the
run. let such was the case, and in the
long history of theatricals in the Illinois
metropolis nothing of the kind had ever
before been experienced.
The production was afterwards taken TO
London, where it entertained the British
ers for many weeks, and was frequently
seen by members of the royal family.
the Prince of Wales going SO far as to
send for the managers personally to be-
stow upon them his warmest congratula-
tons upon the elaborateness Of the pro-
ducuon. Later still, New York was cleo
trifed by the magnificent spectacle and
its memorable run at the big New York
theater outlived every other production
in town
There can be no doubt that an honest
effort has been made to develop the dra-
matte value of "Quo Vadis'' In an entire
ly adequate and dignified manner Stan
islaus STANCE who is widely experienced
as an opera librettist and dramatic writer
prepared the play from the original Pol
ish manuscript of Sienlhiewicz, with faith
ful regard for the meaning and inspira
ton of the novelist, and the work is CO.
herent in manner and artistic in form
+. c. Whitney and Edwin Knowles. ex-
perienced and, liberal producers, are the
responsible managers of the production.
The Saint Paul globe. (St. Paul, Minn.) 1896-1905, 1900-08-26

and their faith in the work is evidenced
by the fact that they gave carte blanche
to scenic artists and costumers, with
view to obtaining the most desirable re-
suits. More than a car load of scenery
is required to set the play, and the nu-
merous costumes prepared in Europe from
authentic models add an elsment of essen
tial interest to the production. Music is
also made a feature, and a chorus of
twenty voices trained by Julian Edwards,
who has composed a special score for this
play, add significance to several Of the
scenes. Dancers are also employed to rep
resent the corybantes, and, as if to make
the success doubly sure, the speaking
parts, thirty-two in number, are assigned
to talented persons, many of whom have
won distinction in the dramatic field.
"Quo Vadis,' as a play and production,
is worthy Of the most thoughtful and lib
eral attention. And it is assured that Mr..
STANCE has followed the Sienkiewicz story
with the utmost fidelity.

For months it filled one of New York s

there for three months, and it has since

land. Its story is the old one telling in
four acts and six scenes of the glorious
triumph of virtue and the defeat of vii

thrown in to vary the monotony 1t is
worth telling, if for no other reason than
because its success indicates that the de-

BLACK CROOK JR.
The Opening Attraction at the New
Star Theater.

Readick's BLACK Crook, Jr.,n will be
the first attraction at the new Star thea
ter, which opens its doors for the pub
lie Sunday, Sept. 2. The company comes
from Denver, where it played an engage
ment at the Tabor theater, the best
amusement house in that city. BLACK
Crook, Jr., is under the management of
Mr.. A. r. Pelton, who has been connec-
ted with a number of ffrst-class Eastern
theaters and companies.
The Denver papers say that .'Black
Crook, Jr,' is meritorious in the high
est degree. Such a gorgeous spectacular
performance is suggestive of the paImy
days of the Kiralfays; such beautiful
array of artistic scenery is carried so
many really clever dramatic artists are
seldom banded together, while ter better
vaudeville acts are not to be seen on any
stage during single performance
BLACK Crock, Jr," is not only beauti-
full scenic production, but 1t is meritori-
GUS as dramatic performance the
various speaking parts being in the HANDS
OF competent ladies and gentlemen, for
the show does not depend upon its seen
ic equipment alone.
One of the most attractive features and

on the American stage, is the electric
portion of the show. In which two tons

Ii Will Re the Attraction at the
Grand Opera House
for the Coming
Week.

The work of renOvating, redecora ting
and refurnishing the Metropolitan opera
house is rapidly nearing completion; the
big theater has been gone over from
curb to back wall and from cellar to
dome, and when the doors open for the
hrst performance of "Quo Vadis,' in
Rugurating the regular season of 1906
1901, It's playgoers may feel a proper pride
IN the possession of palace of amuse-
ment which for beauty and taste in dec
Oration, completeness of equipment and
absolute perfection in everything thai
goes to make up modern, scientific, up
to-date theater is not surpassed in any
rity of the United States or Europe.
1t is doubtful if any of our citizens
realize what q magnificent theater they
have in the metropolitan; certain it is
that very few of them have ever thor
Dughly inspected the ediace or know how
Eplendidly 1t is adapted to the purpose
for which it was built However, be-
fore the opening Of the season each and
every one of the patrons of the Metropolis
TAN. as well as the public in general will
have an opportunity of going through
the house with a view Of ascertaining for
themselves the truth of what has been
often stated by the management and by
managers, agents, stars and actors Of
travelling attractions who have played
this theater, that the Metropolitan opera
house of ST. Paul is the finest thea
ter in America.
To this end Manager Scott haS arranged
a grand reception and promenade concert
to take place Saturday evening, Sept. /,
from 80 to 10 p. m. The entire theater,
lobby, foyer balcony, gallery, stage and
even the immense vaults beneath the
auditorium will be thrown open to the
public. Seiberts full orchestra will be
in attendance, the theater viii be bril-
liantly lighted and everybody is invited

The pupils of Theodore Lescheutzky
celebrated the anniversary Of his seven
tieth birthday a few weeks ago in Wen
ma. Notwithstanding his age, he is as
busy as ever in imparting his knowledge
of the art of pianoforte playing to scores
of students. AS an Austrian journal ex-
presses it, whole shiploads of pretty girls
came to his studio every year from Amer
lea" Many Of them, however, have to
content themselves with a lesson or two
a month. He is the teacher who prepared
Paderewski, Essipoff, Schutt, Hamburg
and Gabriowitch for the concert stage,
and whenever he has a pupil of great
promise he refuses to accept payment for
his instruction, indemnifying himself by
the sums he charges those who appear
to have more money than talent. He
owes his success as a teacher chiefly to
the fact that he is imbued with the
Slavic spirit-the spirit of Chopin-and
it is noteworthy that his best pupils are
mostly of Slavic descent-Polish or Rus
sian. One of the maxirns of the Leschetitz-
ky school is that the German classical
masters, too, must be interpreted in the
modern romantic spirit In spite of the
ravages and rantings Of pedanuc critics,
no pianist who refuses to adopt that max
i'm can hope to become a favorite Of
modern audiences.
