Ward e. Vokes Again.


Ward & Vokes are to be seen at the
Biiou next week with a company Of fifty
people in the second edition Of 1.-THE Head
Walters" their successful hodge podge
Of music. laughter and beauty. The new
show is ahead Of any Offering yet made
by Happy Ward and his genial partner
Harry Vokes. OF course everyone has a
pretty we'll defined idea Of the nature Of
the entertainment, but the expansion pol
icy has lifted it from the plane of musical
comedy to the more pretentious ono Of ex-
travaganza. The scenery Is all brand new
and the costuming on a. scale that would
bankrupt the average farce manager. BY
g. thorough revision Ward & Vokes have
always been able to repeat with each OF
their offerings, and they have been doing
a. record breaking business since their
opening. Some Of the new things this year
are my Morning Glory MARY Jane"
1.-THE Fife and Drum" and 'Lenore." My
Morning Glory Is number especially flt-
ting that favorite little lady Lucy Daily.
MARY Jane is Margaret DAILY vokes' new

The peculiar talents Of this we'll liked
coincidence are said to be perfectly fitted
by this song and its accompanying 'busi-
ness" The Tuxedo Ladies' band is
stronger than ever, numerically and artist

Mr.. Robson, in reviving this immortal
Shakspere comedy, and taking the part
in which he was so successful many years
ago, has bent all his energies to make
the presentation the greatest ever given
to this play and from the reception to
his production in other cities it is evident
he has succeeded fully.
Mr.. Robson has for many decades ranked
among the foremost interpreters Of classic
comedy in this country and in fact since
the death Of Compton, the celebrated Eng
lish player has not had a rival on any
stage In such parts as Dromio OF Syracuse,
Touchstone, Bottom the Weaver and Sir
Andrew Aguecheeck. His own personality
and the remembrance of his reception of
old In 1.-THE Comedy Of Errors would
serve Of themselves to make this pre-
sentation notable. but Mr.. Robson has not
rested with himself, but has gathered the

staged and costumed and in addition the
company carries it's own electrical equip
ment.~ &C., ...,.. 49, ,..r
Shaksperian scholars give Mr.. Robson
the credit Of being the actor who has
done the most to establish The Comedy
Of Errors" in it's proper place. He has
always commended that it is a comedy Of
the highest order and not a farce. Critics
give him the credit Of having done for
this great play what Macklin did toward
rescuing Shylock from the buffooneries
Of the clowns. -
Clifford Leigh. an English actor who
has won distinction in the companies Of
Sir Charles Wyndham, Cyril Maude and
Mrs Langtry, plays the opposite role, that
Of the Dronnio Of Ephesus, and his work
has been most hatternsly received. The
men bear striking resemblance to one
another. SO much 50 they frequently are
mistaken for each other even in their
street clothes. When in their costumes
and makeup they cannot he told apart.
One of the reasons Mr.. Robson has not
revived this play before has been the

strained domestic relations Of a smart
young society couple. George Croydon.

in political interests, neglects his pretty

innocuous filtration with fascinating

Hopelessly involved in social and politi-
cal disgrace, affairs are brought to an
unexpectedly pleasant ending by the in
tervention of a mutual friend Of the ,Croy
dens, Mrs. Lake, a DIVORCE, whose recon-
ciliation with her husband makes a very
pretty scene. It is said that the gowns in
the piece are unusually handsome, having
been designed, as were the stage sets,
under the personal direction of Miss
De Wolfe. Some features are the auto
mobile scene of the first act, the musical
party In the third act, a wonderfully re-
alistic portrayal Of similar functions in
smart New York life, the christening
scene Of the fourth act. introducing
bishop in full robes and with a sensa-

the last act with a decidedly novel elec-
trical effect of fireworks and the accom-

Beginning tomorrow evening, and with
the usual Tuesday, Thursday and Satur-
day matinees, the Ferris company, at the
Lyceum, will be seen next week in a new
com y-drama. ''Way Out West" It is
story OF strong heart interest, filled
with stirring scenes and climaxes, a story
with life and incidents at and around Fort
Gibson, l. T.. There are 80 many plays
Of the down east" style that it is q
great pleasure to Manager Ferris to be
able to break away from the usual order
Of things and give to the theater-going

western characters exclusively.
The story is as follows: In Fort Gibson

Grtgsby. Steve, United States cavalry
captain, is the innocent victim Of q plot
In which he is dtsgraced by an accusation
Of cowardice. His brother Sam, good

M'Cutche0n's Famous Cartoons.

The art OF newspaper illustrationin its

years. Newspaper cartoons have become
most popular feature of up-to-datc met

catchy" drawing By John T. McCutch
con now appearing daily on the front
page of the Chicago Record Herald is
one of the many special features of that
great paper McCutchcon's prominence
in the newspaper world makes newspaper
readers generally familiar with his histcr
nv. He came 10 Chicago in 1889, when
he Immediately became identified with

Worlds air scenes were of particularly
high class. 1t was later, however, assoc
cia ted with George AIDE, illustrating AIDES
well known sketches, "Stories OF the
Streets and of the Town., "Artie, etc,
and during the presidential campaign of
1896, when hspolitical cartoons attract

Cutcheon was generally acknowledged
leader in his profession, During the
Spanish-American war he was with Adj
mira Dewey at the time ofthe destruction
of the Spanish fleet in Manila Bay, and
was the first one to give the world
complete account of that great fight.
During his subsequent stay in tho Phil
pines he blossomcd out as correspond
ent of no mean ability, and he came into
view as q writer of merit, with the
faculty of keen observation and faithful
descriptions that have made the work
of his pen of double value. His two
years stay in a tropical climate shattered
his health, and after his return to the
United States he was forced to take
long rest. However he has fully recovered,
and readers of The Record-Herald will
be glad to learn that he has resumed
work and that his cartoons now appear
in both its daily and Sunday editions.
