The junior ball has steadily increased
the chief social event Of the winter sea-
son. Last years ball surpassed that Of
the previous year. and If present plans
are carried out, as they undoubtedly will
be, the party to be given Jan. so will be
the most elaborate affair ever given in the
twin cities, The junior ball is no longer
a distinctly college function. but is patron
lied very. largely by the alumni and soci-
ETY. of Minneapolis and St. Paul. as well
rs by some out -of-town guests. 1t is
managed by an associa ton of juniors who
organize to do all in their power to make
the affair success IN every detail. The
men Of the 1904 class formed the junior
ball association six weeks ago and elected
Paul A. Brooks as president; George Gill
Iette. vice PRESIDENT; Joe Thompson. sec
1etary,l and Moses Strathern, treasurer.
The association is much larger this Year
than ever before, and numbers fifty men.
The members are prepared to spare no
pains or money in making the ball sue
cess. The various committees into which
the association is divided are all planning
to spend more money than in previous
years, in order that their particular work
may eclipse everything which has ap
peared before. Many new and unique
features will be introduced.
The decorations will be largely in the
class colors, red and white, which will
make the big ar1nory present a very gay
and festive appearance. The color scheme

will be carried out In a magnificent cleo
lures. Maroon and gold will also be used
in some of the displays, while flowers and
palms will be In great profusion through
out the armory. The decoration commit
tee has some pleasant surprises in store
which it at present refuses to divulge.
The members ask a very large financial
appropriation from the association and
will probably spend something in the
neighbOrhood Of $700.
The program committee is also promis-
ing something entirely new and attract
i've. which may be kept as useful SOU
venir of the junior ball. A dainty supper
Will be served from little tables decked
with flowers and lighted with candelabra.
The music has not as yet been definitely
decided, but will be the best thai can be
obtained. and a program Of some thirty
two numbers will probably be danced
Having begun work earlier and with a
larger and more energetic association
than ever before and with plans to spend
more time and money than In former
years, the coming junior ball bids fair to
eclipse all previous affairs. It will, with
out a doubt, be success in every way
except from a financial point, and the
fifty members Of the association are will
ing to share the financial loss provided
upon the university, upon the class Of
1904 and upon the members Of the Junior
ball association. {'.I

The Cost of a Big Production.

An idea of the cost of exploiting a big
production and the risk involved may
be gathered from the experience OF
John Fisher and Thomas W. Ryley. to
whom American playgoers are indebted
for the importation OF the English musl-
cal comedy, "Florodora."
In the summer of 1900 these men pur-
chased the American and Canadian
rights OF the play. which had been run
ming for several months at the Lyric
Theater. London.
The price paid was generous. but was
merely a drop In the bucket compared
with the amount OF money that was in
rested before the first performance was
;iven at the New York Casino. About
month after they had secured the
play, arrangements were begun for its
production, and for the first day the
heckbook was in constant demand.
The most important thing was. OF
curse. to select the company. This

Dramatic Royalties in France.

The dramatic author in France Is lib
orally treated in the matter of royalties.
According to the Figaro" the majority
of the Paris theaters pay from 10 to IL
per cent of their gross receipts. At the
Opera. per cent is paid; at the Come
die Franchise. Is.
The total of royalties paid by the
theaters OF Paris amounts to about
1900. 900 francs a year. In the provinces
the royalty is usually per cent and the
annual payment about 100000 francs.
Roughly speaking. therefore. French
playwrights make between 100000 and
$500. 900 year. On the other hand, this
is divided up among many.
Long runs are the exception to the
rule. a run of 100 nights being extra
ordinary. Aside from Sardou. much of
whose wealth has come from foreign
countries. the only writer's who have
been making large sums of money in
the last few years are, probably. Capus
and Rostand, and neither Of them Is
likely to have made as much as, for ex-
ample. Fitch.
In England Pinero. Jones, and Phil
lips have made the most money among
The dramatists of the higher grade, but
their returns will probably not COM
pare with those OF such men as the
writer's OF certain popular musical
pieces and the Drury Lane spectacles
and melodramas.

Rapid Career of an Actor.

The rise OF Stanislaus STANCE, who made
the stage version OF "Quo Vadis." has
been rapid. II was not so many years
ago that he was n struggling amateur,
with a boundlcss ambition to become
great actor.
His desires lay in the direction Of
tragedy. and. supported by band OF
fellow aspirants he acted in Richard
III" and in THE Bells" That was ten
or twelve years ago. when Mr.. STANCE
lived In Kansas City and had classes in
elocution. Then he gained a foothold on
the stage, playing in Brady's After
Dark" Then came an engagement with
Marion Manola and Jack Mason. the
translation of "L'Ami Fritz" for their
use. and its success.
The Magic Kiss" for which Mr.,
STANCE wrote the libretto, and in which
Camille D'Arville made hit, followed.
and after that II was easy sailing. and
Mr.. STANCE retired permanently from
the stage to devote himself TO writing
plays. Brian Boru" and Dolly Var
den" and one-act play or two. have
made up his work to the present time,
while he will have new musical piece
called When Johnny Comes Marching
Home" produced in the fall.

Henry Arthur Jones New Play.

The new play by Henry Arthur Jones,
which will be put On at the Criterion
in London in the autumn. has been writ
ten with Miss Lena Ashwell in view,
which means that it will have strongly
emotional episodes. for Miss Ashwell
won fame in Mrs. Danes Defense"
The idea is said to have been in Mr..
Jones mind for several years. but he
was waiting for the proper actress TO
appear. He believes he has found her
in Miss Ashwell. The action Of the
piece takes place in and about Monte
Carlo.
The leading character is Ellen Farm
don. the daughter OF bank clerk, who
through a succession of chances is torn
from her humdrum surroundings and
thrown into the whirlpool of smart So
ciety. The interest OF the story is said
to be of a domestic nature. albeit of a
highly tragic level. The piece, 1t is
claimed, contains much comedy.
