the main feature of Mr. Whiteslde's en-,
gagement will be a grand scenic revival
of Hamlet" which will be the bill for
Thursday, Friday and Saturday evenings,
with popular price matinee Saturday
afternoon. Sunday, evening, for one per-
Torrance only, Mr.. Whiteside will pre-
sent The Red Cockade," a romantic
drama in which he has achieved great
success.
Conditions of the American stage at
this time brings Whiteside into marked
prominence. He stands almost alone in
the field of tragedy. Several years ago
Elwyn a. Barron of the Chicago Inter-
Ocean, wrote: IF he live, he will rule
us" He still lives, and while he does
not rule US, he is one of the most con-
scientious and talented defenders of the
tragic muse today. i do not think the
tribute the less laudatory, even if our
present file Of tragedians, real or al
legged, can be counted on the fingers of
one hand. This is not an age of tragedy
the romantic and frivolous in amuse-
ments predominate. Yet the love for
mortuary drama inherited from our fore
fathers is not entirely extinct, and 1t is
quite certain Whiteside possesses the his
toric energy to arouse this latent taste in
no uncertain degree.

Bathing in Caracas is generally done In

In the first place a bathroom indoors

Special Correspondence of the Globe.
NEW YORK, April 6.-Dramatic inter-
est the past week has conferred in the
acquittal Of Olga Nethersole at the hands
Of a New York jury. The action of the
jury was the only piece Of calm, con-
sentative, discriminative work In the
whole proceedings. All else has been
sensational, hysterical and hypocritical
The came craving for notoriety that actu-
ated the Sheldon blasphemy in Topeka,
Kan, was largely responsible for the
onslaught on Miss Nethersole and the
people of her company. Not only New
York, but the country at large, has en-
joyed the nine days wonder, and now it
is to be hoped that, for the future, the
fortune Of the average playhouse will be
left to proper police surveillance unvex-
eel by the spasmodic criticism Of two
classes of people, the journalistic black
mailer and the ignorant social reformer
of misdirected energy.

of rag-time fun, presenting for the first
time here The Hottest Coon in Dixie"

successful colored comedy organizations
on the road this season. The popular

past to BLACK Patti" "A Trip 10 Coon

cations here would promise a stirring well

The performance is made UP of the in
gradients that are usually found in a
colored entertainment. There is not
much of a story or plot, but sufficient to
carry the songs, dancing. specialties and
ensemble numbers in which the produc-
ton abounds. A feature of the perform
ance is the famous original "Clorlndy'
chorus of sixteen male and female voices
which, for sixteen weeks, was quite the

His Christian name was Esau.

And see his saw saw see-saw'
He made his saw saw see-saw-,,
They called him "See-saw Esau
He sawed his saw, but naught saw no.
And ne'er his C-saw he saw!
He had wife, this sawyer man;
Her lovely name was Flossle
She saw him see-saw every day,
But Esau neer she saw see.
And Flossie saw what she saw
Gar more than See-saw EsauD
She never saw her Esau see
While she saw Esau see-saw!
One day the lightning knocked him nat'

And q see-saw silver hit his eye
And gave see to Esau.
Alas, for what his see saw!
