Academy-''Sis Hopkins"
A play which has ben before the pub
lie constantly for four seasons and has
each year played to more people than
the year before comes to the Academy
next Monday, and Miss Rose Melville
will again be seen as Sis Hopkins. that.
quaint and interesting country girl from
Central Indiana with the red side combs,
the funny walk and the remarkably phil
osophic sayings which have become by
words the length and breadth of the
land.
This is the fourth season Miss Mel
Vile has been playing the title role OF
this clean and beautifully presented
| play. She is still the pathetic char
acter whose whole life has ben spent in
Posey county. Indiana. and when the
awakning comes to her that she lives
within narrow limits and that the out
side world is different from anything
she had ever supposed she leaves her
peaceful home and goes away to learn
to be like other people,
The play is refreshingly free from the
raspings of modern dramatic produc-
lions, and Miss Melvilles delicate COM
edy and tender pathos are revelations
of character acting.

DIVORCE
Famous Singer Has Already

Oo'ms Arrives From Europe.

New York, Dec. 12-Mme Nordica,
who at the conclusion OF a recent con-
cert tour went to live with friends a
short distance from the city and prac-
tically withdrew from professional en-
gagements for the winter. has instituted
a suit for divorce, to be tried here. Herr
Zoltan Doeme. the accused husband, ar
rived in this country about 10 days ago.
The papers in the case have been filed
and trial will be had as quickly as pos
sible.
While very little about the suit has
become known, II Is said that the rumor
that Herr Doeme's attentions 10 a we'll
known singer I'm Paris were the ground
OF action, Is not true. The prima donna
has kept closely the case, which she has
made out with her counsel, and even
intimate friends are guessing who may
be involved as correspondents.
Herr Doeme. It is remarked. is a tall
ented singer has had a host OF admirers
among society women. He is unusually
attractive. HIS achievements as tenor
include appearance as Parsifal in the
Wagner theatre at Bayreuth.
Nine. Nortica' marriage to Herr Doeme
took place in Indiana polls on May 26
1896. the night before she closed an en-
gagement there with the May musical
festival The prima donna's former hus-
band was Frederick A. Cover. a wealthy
electrician, to whom she was married in
Paris In 1852. While a suit of separation
was pending in 1887 Mr.. Cover attempted
to cross the English channel in a balloon
and was reported lost.
COURTS RULED HIM DEAD.
His body never was recovered. however,
and as late as July. 1894 it was said
that Cover had been seen in London and

Herr Doeme He was OF an aristocratic
Hungarian family. at one time an off,
Ger In the Hungarian Cavalry and was
younger than the prima donna.
The trouble between Nine Nordica and
her husband became known TO friends
more than a year ago ard efforts were
made to bring about n reconciliation. The
singer informed her friends that her mind
was made up. Herr Doeme was I'm III.

Nine. NordiCa did not make an en-
gagement with Herr Conrled for the Met

generally understood that he amassed
considerable money through his connec-
ton with telephone interests. but II is
believed that his estate did not amoun,

Him Through Window.

New York. Dec. 12.-Nat Goodwin. the
actor was thrown from an automobile on
the Brooklyn bridge early last evening
and got a severe cut on his head, as well
as a general shaking up. His injuries
made 1t necessary for his understudy to
take his part in "A Midsummer Nights
Dream" at the Montauk theatre In
Brooklyn during the first act, but by that
time Mr.. Goodwin had pulled himself to-
gether so we'll that he was able TO go on
and finish the play.
During his Brooklyn engagement Mr.
Goodwin has been living at his home In
this borough at 326 West End avenue, and
late this afternoon he called an electric
brougham from the New York Transport
alton company to go TO the theatre IN
Brooklyn. The machine was In charge of
William Chatterton of 434 West FIFTY
second street. and everything went all
right until the automobile was midway
between the Brooklyn tower and the an
chorage.
Then, according to the driver, clip
catch worked loose and the steering gear
became disarranged. Before Chatterton
could shut off the power and bring the
brougham to a stop II veered to the right
and crashed into the heavy iron guard

lance. but Mr. Goodwin. who soon recov-

he would go TO Brooklyn first.
He was taken in a carriage to the
Washington street police station. where
Or Wilhelms OF the Cumberland street

activity this year In building operations
as there has been in former years. but
still there Is considerable doing In this
line. more especially on some Of the new

This is taken as a natural result OF the

begin to get thick In the more populous
section some adjacent suburb Is plated
of and II Is not long before the houses are
almost as thick as in the older sections.
