The Academy-s'The Fatal We'd
dinur


The large audience at the Academy of
Music last night enjoyed one of the best
written of the numerous melodramas that
have been presented at this house for
some time. Theodore ESremcr, the author
of The Fatal Wedding has evolved a
story that is full of that element known
as heart INTEREST," and while there is a
vast amount of seriOusne IS to the piece
the comedy element is cleverly brought
in. and laughs rapidly follow tears during
the action of the play. The audience last
night showered great amount of ap-
plause upon the various members of the
interpreting company which includes a
number of capable players.
The production is quite an elaborate
one, some of the scenic effects being con-
siderably better than the average seen in
this style of stage entertainments.
Heading the company are Edwin Nor
daunt, whose work In the role of Howard
Wilson. club man. was at all times ef-
fective. Mr. Mordaunt has the advan-
tage of pleasing personality, and his
portrayal of the role is characterized by
a commendable amount of virility. Ola
Humphreys, as the wife Of Wilson, gives
evidence of the posse ssion of dramatic
talents of high order. She makes a
SidCe4uI' ioNapie heroine, anu her cOnlTl-
button to the performance is remarkable
for its thOroughness and Iaturalness.
little Cora Quinten, a child actress of re-
markable clevcrness, played the part of
Jessie. who wins the affections of the
audience by her many acts Of kindness
toward the children of the neighborhOOd.
with an intelligence that is quite surpris-
ing and wholly unlocked for. Other mem
bers of the company are Jack Miltern.
Frank Montgomery, Charles Western,
Richard Quilter, Howard kryle, Julia
Ralph. and Louie X. Quinten.

Kernnn's-..The RambIers.v

Two well-pleased audiences filed out of
Kernan's Lyceum Theatre yesterday af-
ter enjoying nearly three hours of fun
and entertainment offered by "The
Raablers," a good combination of clever
specialists.
Several features presented in the olio
were decidedly novel and scored heavily
A striking novelty very much out of the
ordinary and easily the topliner of the
programme was the act presented by the
Brothers Lutte, one of whom is armless
and uses his feet more dexterously than
the average performer does hts hands.
He began by playing several musical in
struments and using carpenters tools. and
finished with a number of remarkable
rife shots. The Major Sisters introduced
an original act in the shape of boxing
buck dance" in which they proved to be
very clever.
Wolf and Milton made good with
their act, Fun in Billiard Room" Gus
and Maude Sohlke, accomplished novelty
dancers, scored well with their singing
and dancing pickaninny assistants. The
BijOu comedy four-Wightwick, Nelson,
Mack. and Oswald-presented much that
was new and some that was old in their
singing and character sketch. George
Scanlon and Pearl Stevens worked well
together in their laughable bit Of nom
sense and song.
The entire company appears to advan-
tage in the opening burletta, "A SUM-
mer Rehearsal and the ''Tally-Ho Club
burlesque, which follows the olio. Daily

unusually large share of applause.
