mediocre productions, which consisted of costumes and little else, inevitably led to the resurrection of that early and greatest of all romantic, dramas, The Three Mus keteers' At different periods Fechtey, Mayo, Free, Salvini, O'Neill and Sotherp have appeared in the role of Dumas de. Hghtful hero. Now managers E. D. Stair and George H. Nicholai introduce a new Rthmond into the field in the person of MT. Harry Glazier. Reports from other cities indicate that he has met with success in this part. The play was seen here last season and although handicapped by tho small stage of O'Brien's Opera House it made quite success. With the spendid facilities of the Jefferson Theatre it will be possible to more adequately produce this play.
 'The Three Musketeers' will be the att traction at the Jefferson Theatre next Mon- day night.

LONDON PAPERS
Find Significance in. King Edwards
 Speech to Frederick William.

London, January 30. = King Edward s speech to Crown Prince Frederick William of Germany when investing him with the insignia of the Order of the Garter is ap- proved on all sides as furnishing additional proof of the friendly relations between the new monarch and Emperor William.
 The morning papers are, however, more interested in the peculiar wording of the proclamation of the King by Sir Alfred Milner in Pretoria as Supreme Lord of and over the Transvaar.' The general opin- ion Is that the use of such an unusual phrase must have some significant mean ing.
 "Is it possible" says the Daily Mail, "that the government desire to leave themselves loophole, and do not wish at the present moment to go beyond the as- sertion that Great Britain is the paramount power in South African

"Why Smith Left Home"

.eWhy Smith Left Home' is one of the clever farces of the day. It involves no shady characters in its dramatic personnel. 1t includes no incursions into questionable flats or hotels off color One new type bound to be reproduced time and again is the naughty cook who rejoices in the name of "Lavinie,'' is Holland Dame and secretary of the Cook Ladies' Union. A demure French maid pretty and know ledeeous is a bit out of the ordinary and Count Guggenheim, who falls in love with a woman he sees on the street is quite as wise as the chap in Prince Aline" who chases a photograph around the world. The husband John Smith," who finally leaves home is a novelty in a way, for he is the central figure, yet is not the husband in the regular farce who goes off on lark and then repents in three acts; in fact, this husband is good and loves his wife. Why Smith. Left Home will be at the Jefferson Theatre next Saturday, matinee and night.
