The recent success achieved by Mr..
Otis Skinner in his revival Of Fran
cesoa da Rimini'' is by far the most
ambitious of the well known actors
career. Notwithstanding the high
class'of entertainment heretofore pre-
sented by Mr.. skinner. it is safe to
state that nothing he has been seen in
here before surpasses it in the mag
nificence and completeness Of its pres
entation. Mr.. skinner has surrounded
himself with company Of artists
whose regulations have already been
established, and include among its
number such well known artists as
Aubrey Boucicault. Marcia Nau
Dresser, william Norris, Gertrude
Norman, E. a. Eberle, W ]. Con
stantine and others OF equal promin-
enee. Mr.. Skinner and his support
ing company will be seen in its en-
tirety at The Kentucky on Wednesday
night.

DRAMATIC NOTES.

Miss Efie Shannon as to wear a re-
Mica Of Queen Alexsndria's gown in
Paducah. IL will be much like pri-
vate view in an atelier Of one OF the
big modistes ia Paris to visit the Ken
lucky theater on Tuesday evening
November Ie when Miss Efiie Shan
non, with Mr. Herbert Kelley, will
produce their new play, "Her Lord
and Master" Miss Shannon will, ON
that evening unbox an array Of beau
tiful gowns which to the women in the
audience will convey some authoritat-
i've hints as TO swagger fashions. and
cause them to fairly gasp with appre-
ciative delight. Perhaps not many
Paducah women will have occasion to
copy a hunting costume, which Miss
shannon will wear in the first act.
This costume is made Of green cloth
laid in white box piAits, and trimmed
with ooze leather. The loose blouse
is OF bright scarlet material. entirely
tucked and hand embroidered. n
jaunty hat and high boots of the oozo
leather complete this costume.
Changing from this outdoor garb to
dinner gown OF white embroidered
mousseline de sole the pretty fair
haired actress offers a charming pc
turs. In the next act Miss Shannon
will wear two gowns. The first an
English tailor made of pale gray
Irish poplin. With this will be
worn a chinchilla boa and shoulder
cape, and tiny bonnet of pale
blue. which the queen, as the Prin-
cses Of Wales, made distinctively her
own. The second gown in this act
Is very interesting one from the
fact that it is an exact copy Of one
made for Queen Alexandra. IL is OF
softest white satin, with a com
plete overdress Of pointed applique,
the rich Irish lace fairly simmer
ing in palest pastel shades of green,
pink and blue. With this she wears
white cloth cape, trimmed with
sable tails, and heavy collar of gen
uine old Irish lace. For her last ap-
pearance in the play. the little actress
wears morning gown of pale rose col
ored silk batiste. the long flowing
skirt drapped with an ezquisitely en-
broidered chiffon fischu-
Miss shannon has long been known
for her extreme originality and artis-
tic taste. Several years ago the New
York Herald offered a prize for the
test dres sed woman on the American
stage. This was done by popular
vote through the paper, and the prize
was awarded Miss Shannon, she re-
ceiving 25, 900 votes in two days.

stars may come and stars may go,
but James L. English's own com
pany, Murray and Mack, the celebrat-
ed Irish comedians, seem, like the
brook, to run on forever. Among the
first TO enter farce comedy, they have
been running along with the leaders
ever since, and il the truth were
known, they have accumulated more
money than any comedy scam ON the
American stage. They have SUI
rounded themselves with an unusually
strong company this season, and have
paid very close attention to the ar
rangement of details. An unusually
large number of properties and scenery
complete the three acts. They will
present one of Mr. George limerick s
latest farces, Shooting the Chutes, ="
which is one Of the delights Of Coney
Island and other resorts. II is fav-
orito pastime OF the silly season and
especially among the young people, If
not with the old ones, who seek TO
have their blood circulated by some
excitement of this kind. The plot Is
so simple that a child can understand
it and so intensely funny that the old
and the young alike are kept in an
uproar of laughter. Among those sup
porting Murray and Mack are Kitty
Beck, Lonnie Dean, Katherine Rob
erts. Jessie Sharp. Sisters Deane,
Rose Mckee, Billy Rose, Boulder and
Griffin. and many others equally well
known. A dazzling chorus Of beauty,
including the Five Rosaries. direct
