THE PASSING SHOW.

The Academy of Music, the first of the
dramatic houses to throw open its doors
Cor the season of 190l-02. experienced one
of the most prosperous weeks in its his
tory with a melodrama that bore all the
earmarks of newness on Monday night
During the week THE Road to Ruin
underwent commendable revision and
the later performances were anything but
like that on the opening night. The book
ings of the Academy for the season COM
prise about all that is good in the line of
popular melodrama while several notable
successes Will be given TO the patrons of
Mr. Stairs playhouse. During the year
such established successes as THE Little
Minister" Barbara Frietchie," and a
number of others Of similar high grade
will occupy the Academy stage. But the
majority Of the attractions that will Ray

The Academy "The Great White
Dii. .mnnI.',


Tomorrow afternoon "The Great White
Diamond" Walter Fessler's latest dra-
matte Offering. will inaugurate the second
week of the season at the Academy of
Music with a special Labor Day matinee.
The week just closed has been one of
phenomenal success for the Academy,
which has been thronged throughout the
week with large audiences. The patrons
were delighted not only with the excel
lence of the entertainment offered, but at
the unusual little attentions and courte-
sizes that they found awaiting them on ev-
cry hand. The house is perfectly ventil-
ated and at all times was kept at most
comfortable temperature without regard
to the conditions that prevailed on the
outside The free reading table is well
supplied with the latest periodical litera-
ture and the toilet rooms are stocked
with everything required for the comfort
of the patrons. That these attentions
and studied considerations for the pa
irons are appreciated could not for a mo-
ment be doubted.
There Is nothing subtle in stage craft
or ingenious in stage mechanics that has
not been employed in the production of
The Great White Diamond. From all
accounts IL must be a most remarkable
proposition in a melodramatic way, and
If what is said of it is true, its votaries
will be legion at its presentations here.
The author has avoided the extreme of
working his play to a great climax in the
third or last act Throughout the capti-
waiting romance of the love story, Incl
dental to his stage pictures, he has pro-
yided a series of startling happenings
that outdo even the most modern of cur
rent melodramas. The press agent says
he avoids the hysterical and the glamour
of crime, and works out faithfully the
destiny of his hero and heronie in a way
legitimate enough so be classed with the
very best efforts of Cecil Raleigh and
Frank Harvey. There are no murders.
no ladies with pasts, nothing suggestive
of immortality. The play was built with
no ignOble end in view and contains not
the taint of sensuality which so often
proves so successful in the advertising of
mediocre plays 1t contains love and mod
esty. crime of the kind that is daily
brought to light in the police courts,
comedy and humor of the uncommon and
inoffensive kind, and will be acted by
company that is heralded as a capable
one.
For the holiday matinee tomorrow the
regular night prices will be charged. but
the usual matinee prices Will prevail for
the other afternoon performances, on
Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday.

the peoples of the Western hemisphere.
That was a policy earnestly favored by
President Mckinley, and which inter-
ested him so deeply in the exposition
I from it's first inception. 1t is strange,
disastrous stroke of fate that the faH
of the exposition should be threatened
through this fearful tragedy. We should
be lacking in loyalty to his memory, If
we did not bend all our. energies in
crowning the work which he had so
close to his heart. The position in which
the tragedy found me gave me the op-
portunitys of knowing what was in-that
execrable shot. The president had taken
from the start It's idea and conception
are in harmony with his wise and bene-
fcent public policy.
1.-The years that have been spent in the
evolution and development of the essen
tial interdependence of the nations Of
this hemisphere, which form the Pan
American idea, had their full first ex-
pression/in this exposition. 1t gave the
opportunity which he utilized in that
great speech which has already passed
into history as the highest note of Ameri-
can craftsmanship and the most
perfect expression of the Pan-Ameri an
idea. The way in which the idea
has been developed here and the glorious
setting which art and industry has given
it, gratified and even surprised the presi-
dent He was deeply impressed by the
beauty and magnitude of the exposition,
the wonderful display of electrical IL
Illumination and the evidences on every
side of the hearty cooperation of the
governments and peoples of the North,

engrossed in a great undertaking than
Buffalo was with the Pan-American ex-
position three weeks ago. Every man,
woman and child in the city had a direct
interest in the exposition undertaking.
1t seemed that everyone with whom a
stranger spoke had in mind the large
ideal of the great good which the demon
stration of the wonderful resources and
abilities of the Western hemisphere was
to do for the country. Buffalo people
seemed rather proud that the whole ex-
pense of the demonstration had fallen up
on them and their fellow citizens. Tiley
would call attention to the fact that all
of the funds had been raised IN Buffalo
without assistance from the nation, the
state or even the city corporation.
When, in his memorable address the
president emphasized the Pan-American
idea and made it part of history, the
people of Buffalo realized that their eff
forts were appreciated. They seemed
contented and proud that as individuals
of one city they had done the work which
we'll might have been the nations under
taking. The revulsion was terrible and
now it is passed the question of what is
to come is interesting. The public feel
ing is strong, and all one way. Everyone
seems to realize that the stockholders of
the exposition have met great loss,
probably of not less than a million dol
lars. That practically means the citizens,
for about every Buffaioan has stock in
the exposition according to his means.
The dollars and cents seem pretty thor
oughly to be eliminated from the calcu-
lation now, but the work to be done and
the end to be achieved, seem foremost
in every mans mind. They feel now that
the exposition must be carried to a glor-
ious finish as a labor of patriotism and
of love. President Milburn put this
thought very strongly. He said:
There will be no faltering in our eff
forts now. Considering how much the
success of the Pan-American exposition
means in the development of closer po-
litical and commercial relations between

SIX WEEKS MORE.
There are six weeks more of the lie
of the exposition, and, it's full bloom of
it's beauty and interest. The exposition
has been developed to it's highest point
and it is being operated in a more eIab-
crate scale than ever. 1t is compli-
Gated mass of more varieties and enter
tainments, more far-reaching in its ideas
and purposes. 1t is a. national enter
prise and should be supported as such
for the credit of our country, as the
leading nation of this hemisphere. That
support, 1 feel certain it will have in
the fullest and overf1owing measure
Referring to President Milburn's state
ment, Director General Buchanan sid
that at no previous expos tion had the
countries of South and Central America
taken as deep personal interest in the
success of an exposition as they had in
TINS one; that CnlS was especially true of
Chile, which had expended upon a build
ing and an exhibit half million dol a. S,
and equally so of Cuba, which for the
first time in her history stood independ-
ent in a great exposition within a mag
nificent building of her own, filled with
her natural resources and productions.
This one feature of the exposition, =
said the director general, has attract
ed greater commentator from the
millions who have visited it than has
been the case heretofore with Latin-
American exhibits at any previous one
