The story is French one of the first

can secure the coveted veil, which alone
will save Carthage from destruction
and the lives of all the born, who
would otherwise be burned as sacri-
fees upon the altar of the sun god.
The following scene presents the outer
temple of Moloch, with all the horri-
bic preparations under way for the
slaughter of the innocents.
This is succeeded by Hamilcars
apartments where SalammbO is con-
fronted by her father, whom she is
unable to convince that her heroism
was accomplished without degrade
ton. The last scene of the fourth act
pictures the tryst of Salammbo and
| :Matho among the ruins Of the temple
of DelOS, where she Vainly attempts
to save the barbarian, whom she has
grown to- love, because of his mag
naminity. The last act takes place
at the outer temple Of Tanit. near the
Acropolis, and represents an intense
ly dramatic tableau. Salammbo, seat
ed on a throne at the top of the tenn
pie steps, among the populace and
rulers of Carthage, is compelled to
watch MatlIo tortured by the mob I'M
til finally reaching the temple steps,
he falls dead at her feet. His awful
sufferings break Salammbos heart,
and she expires simultaneously with
the unfortunate Matho.
The company is said to be strong
one, augmented by a large chorus rep
resenting the priests and priestesses Of
the pagan temples. Among the players,
aside from Mr.. Dalton, who will be
seen in prominent roles may be men
toned: Robert Lowe, Hugo Toland,
Jerome Harrington, Harold Walch and
Ina Brooks.
Regarding the work of Miss Walsh,
she is so well and so favorably known
in this city that it is only necessary
to say that it is asserted that her
Salammbo excels anything she has yet
! accomplished. Charles Dalton, who
will be remembered by all who saw him
as Marcus Superbus in "The Sign of
the Cross" ably seconds the star, and
| has, it is said, a role that equals the
one in which he made such an impress
sion when he appeared in Wilson Bar
rett's powerful religious drama.

the Grand this week.
When Mr.. Mantell first came to this
country his first hit was made in
Sardou play, when, as Loris Ispanoff,
he fairly divided the honors with
Fanny Davenport in Fedora and
with that famous performance he woke
up one morning to find himself noted.
Then he followed up his success with
roles of the same character.
On Sunday, Monday and Tuesday
nights Mr.. Mantell will present w. A.
Tremayne's dramatization Of Joseph
Hatton's novel, The Dagger and the
Cross" The play is a romantic drama
full of action. The story opens in the
year 1864 in Venice. Francesca, the
wife Of Roubillac, painter, is beloved
by Zilletto, the sculptor. Through the
power of hypnotic influence the wom-
an returns the love of the latter. Rou-
blllac and wife are persuaded by Lo-
reno, priest. to leave Venice for
England, where the former is engag-
ed to decorate the chapel on the es-
tate of Sir George Talbot. The real
action of the play begins in the castle
of Talbot on Christmas eve RoubilIac
and Francesca are again happy and
contented. Then ZillettO'S voice is
heard among the carol singers with
out and shortly afterwards he enters
The old relations are renewed, al
though Zilletto adds an intrigue with
Mary, the daughter of Sir George, and
the sweetheart Of a splendid young
Englishman named Clegg. Zilletto,
knowing that Roubillac wants him to
give up Francesca, offers to do so on
condition that Roubillac impersonate
a priest and marry him to Mary. In
his desperation Roubillac agrees and
the secret marriage takes place. After
the ceremony, however, Zilletto breaks
his word to Roubillac, and the latter
lies in wait in the forest to kill his per-
secutor. When Zilletto, and Mary meet
near Roubillac'S Hiding place they en-
counter Clegg. The men quarrel. The
EngHshman hurls the Venetian against
the very tree which conceals Roubillac
and the latter takes this opportunity
to thrust his dagger into the Williams
heart. 1t is night and Clegg does not
witness the act. A moment later Clegg
is discovered standing over the body
with dagger in hand by Sir George
Talbot, and is accused of murder.

"THE SUBURBAN."
Lifts Racing Melodrama VIII Be Pre-
scented at the MetropoIitan.

Jacob Lifts big production of ''The
Suburban" will have its first perform
ance in the Northwest at the Metro
pOlitan. The new play is by G.. T.
Darcy, who wrote "In Old Kentucky"
In Chicago, where 1.-THE Suburban. had
its first performance in May last, it
ran at McVicker's for fifteen weeks to
audiences that crowded Mr.. Lifts spa
cious theater to the doors.
Mr.. Darcy has, in the present n1elo-
drama, chosen the greatest racing event
of the turf year for one of the princi-
pal episodes of his play. The story of
THE Suburban" deals with the for
tunes of Donald Gordon and Alice, his
/ wife. Through the villainy Of a trusted
relative, Donald is turned adrift on the
world to shift for himself as best he
may. He leaves his wife in the care
of his treacherous cousin, who not only
attempts to supplant him in the heart
of his father, but also take his place
the affections Of the wife. Donald
turns up in time to save his family
and to be proven innocent of the crimes
charged to him by the wicked cousin.
1t is through Donald that his father
thWarts the Vaccinations of the villain
and wins the Suburban.
In the third act there is a scene in
the paddock at Sheepshead Bay race
track. Here a motley crowd of book
makers, touts, trainers, stable boys,
jockeys, spectators, are wrangling over
the merits of the prospective runners
in the great race. Then the scene
changes to the grand stand and a bit
of the track just before and during
the running of the big event. Two
hundred people are employed in this
scene, and their concerted action helps
to fill it with excitement and thrills.
At first all eyes are turned toward
the paddock, when the beauties canter
to the post in the grand parade which
is one Of the features Of Suburban day.
Then comes the anxious moment when
| the start is made; the eager straining
to watch the colors in the contest of
speed around the track; the suspense
of the closing half mile; the shouts of
encouragement; the wild rush of the
finish, with the winner just a nose in
advance of his adversary. The scenery
| for 'The Suburban" was painted by
Ernest Albert, John H. Young and
Homer Emens.
The entire production, with the same
cast that helped to make this play a
great success, will come to st. Paul. J.

"THE DAUGHTER OF HAMILcAR."
Blanche Walsh VIII Appear as Sa-

iaTnbo, at the Metropolitan.
Blanche Walsh, accompanied by
Charles Dalton, in Stanislaus STANCES
romantic tragedy, The Daughter of
Hamilcar," will be the attraction at
the Metropolitan opera house tonight
and during the first half of the week,
with the usual Wednesday matinee.
The play is founded on "Salan1mbo."
one of the most remarkable books of
modern authorship. It's action is laid
in the ancient city of Carthage, the
history of whose people and customs
is little known. Flaubert, the author
of "Salammbo," probably selected this
arena for the recital of his terrible
story because it is impossible to dis
pute the accuracy attaching to the in
cidents or personages, which, for the
most part, he drew from his fertile i'm
agination.
The play opens in the gardens of
Hamilcar's palace, showing in one di-
rection the entrance to the Temple of
Tanit, and in the other the Temple of
Moloch, representing the respective pa
gan deities who were Worshiped as the
symbols of the feminine and masculine
principles of creation. This is follow
ed by the apartments of SaIanambo, the
daughter OF Hamilcar. Every possible
latitude is here given to the scenic
artist and the stage mechanic. A mas

The third act shows the interior of
the tent of Matho, commander of the
barbarian armies. 1t is to this tent, in
the dead of night, that Salammbo is
forced to go alone to regain from Metho
the sacred veil of Tanit that has been
stolen from the temple. She meets

comedy, Peggy from Paris" which
Henry w. Savage is to produce at the
Studebaker theater, Chicago, in the
near future. The date of the produce
ton is set for Jan. 26. There are but
two acts in Peggy from Paris" and
these are divided into two scenes each.
The first scene of the first act will show
the biggest room in the Commercial
hotel at Hickory Creek, Ind, where
an "Old Folks party is in progress
for the benefit of some local charity.
The second scene of the act is placed
upon the stage of one of the Chicago
theaterS, and it is here that the star
is introduced. The first scene of the
second act will be as close a reproduce
ton as is possible to put upon the
stage of the finest suite of apartments
in the Auditorium Annex, and the last
scene of the play takes place at Honey
moon Terrace. The last scene is devot-
ed to the production of a comic opera,
so the gamut of the costuming will be
very wide.
When George Lederer, the chorus
picker, was a younger man, he used to
do all of his own stage managing, says

it, but only long enough to get the
company in trim. While he was in
charge of affairs he declares that he
had a lesson in diplomatic discrimina-
ton taught him, which he has never
forgotten.
1t was during a rehearsal. Lederer
stepped out in front of the unruly
group and said: Il want all the prin-
