HMiss Bob White"

1t is not so many years since a man with
a manuscript under his arm sought hear
ing in vain with the powers that were in
the theatrical world. He was but one
among many; mere atom in the rush and
swirl of men counting the tickle goddesses,
Fame and Fortune. Cndaunted by rebuffs,
scorning discourtesies, still undismayed,
this seeker after mere hearing persisted,
and refused like many other men in SINH
lar positions to be dissuaded from his pur-
pose. The wiseacres of the theater gently
but firmly refused to listen to him, so he
approached an Acquaintance in commercial
life. thinking that perhaps another adage
might fit the theatrical managers, "A little
learning is a dangerous thing" The mer
chant listened to the aspirant and wishing
to encourage him finally produced the
piece. The merchant was VIM. M. Singerly,
the author was Willard Spenser and the
manuscript was 'The Little Tycoon" one
of the most successful operas yet produced
in this country. With the fortune made by
his first venture Mr.. Spenser produced his
second, THE Princess Bonnie" and then
he fully realized the meaning of the adage
that heads this article When he wrote a
third opera, Messrs. Nixon and thinner
man secured it and their instantaneous sue
cess with Miss Bob White is already MS

For the last week of the season of mu-

at Chase's Theater, before the commence

acters of the comedy in the pursuit of

vaudeville is absolutely essential to the
proper presentation of "A Day and Night
in New York. In fact, such a period of
time could not properly be passed in New
York without entering the dominion of vau-
deville. 1t is not in derogation of the nu-
merous other numbers to state that one of
the leading features of the entertainment
will be repetition of Ching a Ling Loo"
the jingle of the fowery kingdom in which
Mary Marble and Little Chip made such
hit several weeks ago, in Chinese make
up. A number that is expected to create
sensation is 1.-The Pajama Girls which
will be rendered by a double octet com
posed Of the most attractive members of
the chorus of twenty-five, robed in the
slumber garments named in the title. Other
numbers will call for attractive costume
display. Mary Marble will have among her
other duties the singing of ''The Hoo Doc

one of her best efforts. Mr.. Harlans ad-
mirers will doubtless be glad to know that
one of his several assignments is Just 10

1t IS expected that the bill will be enlarged
by the addition of several vaudeville acts
now being engaged by Mr.. Chase in New

have been retained for "A Day and Night

last week, in their own specialties

The BfjOu.

The most stunning woman in yaude-
VILE" as Alexandra Dagmar has been
styled on account, supposedly, of her great
trfumphs in the vaudeville world in Lon
don. Paris, New York, San Francisco and
other large cities of this country will head
the vaudeville part next week of the Bijou
bill, and will introduce a repertoire of
songs that will be ambitious, as well as
popular. Miss Dagmar, in addition to be-
Ing one of the most beautiful women that
have ever appeared on the American stage
will display a variety of dazzling costumes
that were made by the world famous dress
makers of Paris, and which in themselves
should prove a great magnet to local
patrons of burlesque.
Another feature of the coming weeks
Rijou bill will be Lenore Whites living
art studies. in which Miss White will be
the central figure and be surrounded by
twelve of the prettiest members of the
Bijou chorus. The Great Tascot who is
said to be one of the best singers of coon
songs in this country; the Three Osnatos
triple bar performers; Jessie and Willie
Barrows, in a dancing act, and the Three
Graces in a comedy sketch will also be
seen in the olio. Dave Lewis, the popular
German comedian, will return permanently
to the Bijou company next week, and in
conjunction with Bert Leslie will present
burlesques that should tend to increase the
popularity of not only the comedians them
selves, but the cozy little Bijou Theater.
Next weeks offering of the stock COM
pany will include songs by such we'll
known favorites as Nellie V. Nichols, Susie
Rocamora, Susie Fisher, Sophie Leslie
John P. Rodgers, Charles Marsh, AL. Cam
e1on. Matt Kennedy and Lew Harvey. The
large and handsome Bijou chorus will be
costumed more elaborately next week than
at any previous period during the season.
and the burlesque itself will be found, ac-
cording to the management, to be the very
best that has ever been offered. The cine
ograph will close the bill with a new series
of motion pictures.

well-known novel, "Called Back" and was
put into stage form by James w. Harkins
jr.. author of Mr.. Shea's popular success,

of blind man, Gilbert Vaughn, said to
be character part requiring skillful inter
probation, which, needless to say, is ac-
corded by the star. Tuesday and Friday

MIR. Hyde" Mr.. Shea has won undoubted
man of two distinct natures. Another in
teresting production will be 1.-The Bells

famous by Sir Henry Irving, and while the
version used by Mr.. Shea tells the same
story. the latter's play was specially pre-
pared for him by Louis Cardot, the we'll
known French dramatist. Tuesday, Thurs
day and Saturday afternoons 1.-The Voice
OF Nature will be presented. This play is
by Theodore Kremer, the German drama

Ing situations. One of the most dramatic
episodes in the play is the bomb scene.

Unusual Fare.

A pound of fair quality of moist brown sugar added to horse feed of chaff and corn doubles it's work-pro- ducing power, and therefore, the or dinary feed may with this aid be great ly reduced in weight without propor- tionally reducing the efficiency of the animal getting it. When no other feed is obtainable, few pounds of four, mixed with enough water to make it easily drinkable, have great staying power, but few horses would take this however hungry, unless they had at some previous time been made accus- toned to it. 1 have known horses, when there was little grass, habitually to rob the camp of fresh, salt or dried meat. It is even more certain that no horse would touch flesh unless at some time accustomed to it.
 What strange food graminivorous animals will eat when habituated to it, is almost beyond belief. In Iceland, horses and cattle are frequently fed on dried fish. I have known sheep to eat meat, fruit, bread, pastry and the like, anu eNSh IoDdSSO, III SOhSluCldDle qudH- tity, without harm ensuing. During the early time of the diggings, when gold was being found in large quan- titles, and horse feed, beyond the grass, was not prOcurable, many of the rich claim holders fed the horses, used in their work on the mine, with bread sooner than suffer delay. Bread, even unleavened, Is better food for horses than raw flour and water, but it takes time to prepare, and is rarely avail able in an emergency, while four is much more likely to be.
