Kruger. who was the FIRST TO follow Mrs.
Leslie Carter in the role OF Maryland CAL
vert, will be seen in that role on this
visit. She understudied Mrs. Carter and
plays the role in almost the same identical
manner in which its creator did. In her
support Miss Kruger has such we'll known
artists as Herbert Bostwick, Teft johnson
and B. J. Murphy. Scenery, costumes and
effects are the same as ever. The belfry
scene is still shown in the same effective
manner.
Pixley & Luders' latest musical comedy
effort, 1.-The Prince OF Pilsen," will be the
offering at the Boyd Tuesday and Wednes-
day nights and Wednesday matinee. This
Is said TO be the best thing these authors
have yet done. The scenes are laid at Nice
on the Riviera, which gives ample scope
for beautiful scenic embellishments. The
costuming is most elaborate. Dorothy
Morton, John W. Ransone, Sherman Wade,
Harold Crane and Lillian Coleman are
some Of the noted principals. Some Of the
very catchy numbers sung are: The
American Girl" Song Of the Cities.' "He
Didn't Know Exactly What to Do" THE
Tale OF the Sea She'll" The story of the
play in outline is as follows: At the
height of the season the news reaches Nice
that the prince OF Pilsen is coming to at
tend the festivities ~incognito. The propri-
etor OF the principal hotel shrewdly de-
clares that there is no money for us in a
prince unless the people know that he is
here" and therefore spreads the news of
his expected arrival. He engages a brass
band TO meet the prince and makes all ar
rangements for a snowy reception. Hans
Wagner, a brewer OF Cincinnati, and his
daughter, travelling abroad, 60 to Nice to
meet Wagner's son, a lieutenant in the
American navy stationed at that point.
The band mistakes the American brewer
for the prince Of Pilseh and the American
travellers are bewildered at the reception.
The best rooms in the house are placed
at their disposal and they are not permitted
to pay for anything. When the real prince
Of Pilsen, a dashing young student at
Heidelberg, arrives with his companion
they are ignored entirely and cannot even
secure rooms at the hotel on account Of the
large crowds attending the carnival Of
flowers. The prince, annoyed, does not
disclose his identity. but awaits an oppor-
tune moment to declare the American
brewer an impostor. Just about this time
he meets the brewers pretty daughter and
falls in love with her. Then he learns that
the brewer is harmless and has no inten-
ton to do wrong, and there is a happy ter
mination to the complication.
Are You a Mason?" the farce that ran
for an entire summer at Powers theater,
Chicago, and for six months at Wallack's
theater, New York, will be given at the
Boyd Friday and Saturday nights and Sat-
urday matinee. It will be interpreted by
a very clever company Of farceers. Mrs.
Bloodgood of Rockville, ILL.,, insists that
her husband, Amos Bloodgood, should join
the Masons. He promises, but does not
Join, but persuades Mrs. B. that he has.
This gives him a chance to have many a
quiet time and Mrs. B. does not worry, for
she believes Amos is at the lodge. His
son-in-law, Frank Perry Of New York,
adopts the tactics Of his gay old father-in-
law. Had the two conided in one another
all would have gone we'll, but they do not
and a series Of ludicrous complications
ensue. A bombshell bursts in the house
hold, when a real Mason, a Mr.. Morris,
navs a visit to the Bloodgood family.
Finally everything is worked out happy.
John T Sullivan, Miss Atherton and COM
pany will be one Of the numbers In the new
bill at the Orpheum for the week COM
mencing with a matinee today. Mr.. Sulli-
van. who is Rose Cochlan's husband, has

the legitimate. Miss Atherton was a men,
Der of Nat c. Goodwin's company In
when We Were Twenty-one." Captain
Hunting" the sketch in which they viii
appear. is by Sidney Grundy 1t tells a
story of the %lovemaking of an English off,
Ger whose courage in war is llonlike, but
whose nerve grows faint before Cupid's
influence. Thorne and Carleton, prime local
favorites, will entertain with the bright
repartee in a skit called What Papa
Brought Home" The Rosinos, easily re-
called here, do a unique acrobatic stunt,
intermlngled with comedy on a ~rebounding
billiard table. Among the new features
is Leslie's dogs. Wonderful leaping grey
hounds and all sorts of clever tricks by
the members Of the troupe fill every min
ute of their allotted time with entertain
ment. Harrison, the tramp juggler, who
was the first to do the hobo" f~unmaking
and Juggling turn here, in vaudeville, is on
the bill. Alice Raymond, the eminent
American female cornetist, assisted by
