William Gilettes latest dramatic Of

successes of the season, and in Chica-
go, when presented there a short time
ago, played a record breaking engage
ment to standing room only at every
performance The Wednesday matinee
will be played at popular prices.
The play opens in the house in Lon
don of James Larrabee and his vile
Madge, a pair of Adventures. At HON.
burg they have met Alice Faulkner,
young woman whose sister fell afoul of
a man of royal blood and who when
dying left to Alice papers and photo
graphs which incriminate the young no
bleman. He is about to be married, and
his agents are seeking the documents.
The Larrabees recognize the value of
the papers for the purpose of blackma1l
and are trying to force them from Miss
Faulkner, who, with her mother, is prac-
tically their prisoner in the London
house.
At a critical moment when the LARA
bees seem about to secure posscssi IN of
the papers Sherlock Holmes, who has
been engaged by the nobleman who
wishes to regain the letters and photos,
appears on the scene. He sets about his
work at once, and by a sldllful ruse
learns the exact spot in which the de-
sired package is concealed. While he is
doing this, however he falls in love with
Miss Faulkner, and when she delivers
over the documents he hands them back
to her, at the same time warning the
Larrabees to see that 40 harm comes to
her. Larrahee seeks the aid of Prof.
MOriarty, the spider of crime whose web
stretches over all London.
Moriarty takes the case for the sake
of defeating Holmes, who is his greatest
enemy though the pair have never met.

the coming week.
1.-THE Gunner's Mate,' which will be
seen at the Grand this week, commence
ing tonight, is a new naval drama deal
ing with the American navy, and is the
work of William ]. McKiernan dramatic
editor of the Newark, N. j., Sunday
Call. 1t is in four acts and five scenes
The first act takes place in Lulxen's Snug
Berth, a sailors lodging house, on the
water front. Clement Carroll, the gun
ner's mate, and hero of the play, has a
protege in the person Of Arthur GLADDEN.,
a little boy, known to the inmates Of the
lodging house at Blizzard. The boy is a
son of a shipmate of Clients, who has
died of yellow fever on a previous cruise.
Before he died the sailor intrusted his
son to Clem's care, and told him the
story of his wrecked life. The boy is
heir to big fortune, but between it and
him stands DR.. Herbert Quayley. The
latter is anxious to get the boy out of the
way. and when he discovers him in the
sailors lodging house he undertakes to
get rid of the boy by injecting the germs
of a fatal disease.
Glenn arrives home in time to save the
boy and illustrates the Villains plans.
Fooled in this, the physician, with the
assistance of Lukens, decides to shang-
hal the boy and send him off to sea, hop-
ing that he will never return. Plum Duff,
waif of the streets, and her friend,
Brooke Burns, learn of this plan and
apprise Glen of it. Once more the hero
comes to the rescue in a strong scene,
which forms the climax Of the first act.
Incl b ntal TO the first act there is
charming love episode between Glenn and
Miss Mildred Emerson, a young lady
of wealth and social standing, who, IN her
frequent visits of charity and mercy to
the slums, has fallen in love with Glen.
Glenn realizes the social barriers that
stand in the way, and does not dare to
give expression to the love he feels I'M
til Miss Emerson draws him out Here
ensues a very pretty love scene The
second act takes place on board the flag
ship New York. Here is shown life
aboard warship as it really is, and all
of 1t forms a coherent part of the dra-
matte story of Clem's love for the
