One Of the big theatrical events of
the year will be the joint appearance
OF Louis James and Frederick Warde
at the metropolitan tomorrow evening
in Wagenhals and Kemper'S Spectacu-
lar production of The Tempest"
The fame and ability of these cele-
DRAFTED players is too firmly established
to need comment; suffice to say that
Mr.. James will appear as the semi
human monster CaHban and Mr.. Warde
as Prospero, the philosopher and ma
gician.
The first scene of 1.-The Tempest"
represents the storm and shipwreck
raised by Prospero's magic art, with
the assistance of his fairy servant
Ariel. The audience is requested to be
seated before the rise of the curtain,
not only because this scene involves
one of the most wonderful transforma-
lions yet attempted, but because the
first few lines spoken unfold the whole
plot of the comedy. The next scene
represents Caliban's cave near Pros
pero's cell, which is followed by
magnificent perspective of the yellow
sands. The second act presents two
scenes, one in the forest jungle and
the other picturing the rocky shore of
the island where Caliban meets two
survivors Of the wreck and tastes wine
for the fist time, with the usual re-
suit The third act again shows the
yellow sands, which by seeming magic
gradually melt into a picture of the
mystic rocks and the finale to the same
representing magic banquet and the
dance of the demons. The scene
changes to ProSpero's cell, where the
power of his marvellous magic is illus
trated and ending with the advent of
the spirit and a grand tableau, as
sisted by chorus and ballet. The last
scene represents the great triumph of
Prospero in winning the love of his en-
emies and forgiving them their injus-
t1ce. The final tableau represents the
ship safe and sound after all, and all
the characters on board bound for
Naples.
Mr.. Norman Hackett will be seen as
Ferdinand, Miss Teresa Maxwell as
Miranda, Miss Edith Fassett as Ariel,
and Wadsworth Harris as Alonzo. The
engagement is for four nights and
Wednesday matinee.
lyon Yonson' will bring it's engage
ment at the Grand to a close with a
matinee at 80 and the regular even
ing performance tonight at S;15. The
enga cement has been one of the most
successful lyon Yonson" has ever
played in this city.
Manager Jacob Lit of the Grand.
announces the enga cement at that
playhouse the coming week, commenc-
ing tomorrow night, of Clyde Fitch's
we'll known play, Lovers Lane" Mr..
Brady, it is said, has provided COM
this season. At the popular prices
which prevail at the Grand the attrac-
ton is one of the best of the season
and should receive liberal patronage.
For the second time at a ladies'
matinee at the Star, the standing
rOom-only sign was hung up yester-
day: The women patrons fairly filled
the house. though there were men
enough to provide the overflow. The
bin offered by Rice and Barton's COM
pany was very literally applauded.
Next week the Rentz- Santley company
will be the attraction.
His Majesty and the Maid" is the
title of the new play by Joseph LIE
Brandt, in Which Mary Emerson will
star next season. Miss Emerson will
doubtless be remembered by many for
her performance of Lygia in F. c.
Whftneyis production of Quo .Vadis."
She will be under the management of
Samuel Lewis:
Mrs. Leslie Carriers London engage
ment in "Du Barry has been post
poned and her tour in America will be
extended until the middle of June.
After the Chicago enga cement she will
visit Milwaukee, st. Paul and Mime
apolis. Mr. Belasco will continue to
present Mrs. Carter in ''Du Barry all
of next season. Only three cities, Bos-
ton, Philadelphia and Chicago, with the
additional three just contracted for,
therefore there is vast amount of ter
ritory to be covered during the-season
of 1904.
Frederick ,Warde's part in "The
Tempest as the programme shows it,
is 'Prospero, rightful Duke of Milan"
In Portland a typographical, error
made it appear "frightfuI Duke of
Milan" Els - a,at ~. .,,
Under any other. circumstance there
would have been trouble, but Mr..
Warde saw the humor of the situation
and the fun he had with Augustus Nc
Cune, the business representative, by
feigning Indignation and demanding
explanations, WAS something worthy Of
record. ~ o. i
But there was funnier side which
Mr.. Warde did not see. He sent the
programme on no his daughter, mark
ing the error and explaining the joke.
By return mail Miss Warde replied:
Dear Papa1I enjoyed your letter
immensely, but please tell me wherein
the programme was wrong" Further
explanations We're not made.
Miss May Buckley is James O'NeilI's
leading lady this season. Those who
are familiar with her handsome face
and know her capability as an actress
will understand that she will undoubt-
eddy prove bewitching Kate" in 1.-The
ManXman.'
