Lafayette Square Opera House.

"a Celebrated Case" will be the bill of
the Berger Stock Company at the Lafayette
Square Opera House next week. This great
play, which is the work of no less a nota-
BILE playwright than Adolph D'Ennery.
known the father of the French melo-
drama. has had a remarkably successful life
on the American stage. Originally produced
about a quarter of century ago at the
Union Square Theater, New York "A Cele-
brated Case" has gone through a splen-
did activity of frequent performances
throughout the country. which in them
selves are marked evidences of the worth
of the piece.
1t is play with quite the same charac-
teristicS have endeared THE Two Or
phans'' to the amusement seeker-a play
for which d Ennery also stands as father
and it is claimed by many to be almost the
equal of its better known prototype. In
its rendition there is a decided display of
tilial affection and purity of sentiment,
dramatic condiments which. when properly
handled, seldom fail to bring the results
desired In an emotional drama. Further
more, it is embellshed with pictorial dis
play, for which the locale of the play-in-
cident to the battle of Fontenoy in France
offers fine opportunity. while the dramat-
ic situations the author has supplied are
said to be thrilling.
For the coming production by the Berger
company the preparations would seem to
anticipate a complete performance. Stage
Manager Frederic Sullivan is said to have
secured adequate scenic and costume eff
fects. The cast Is follows: Prologue,

A Quick Study Record.

From the Chicago Inter Ocean.
On one occasion James O'Neill made a
record as a quick study which, if it could
have held, would have been recited even
today as the most remarkable achievement
in memorizing a part in the history of the
theater.
1t was in the old days of the old stock
companies, and O'Neill was sent to support
a lady star in Ford's Theater.
1.-The part, which was a long one, was
sent to me-, relates the actor, land on a
two days railroad trip managed to digest
1T. On putting in an appearance for re-
hearsal was told that for some reason the
bill was changed, and that 1 would have to
appear in another role. The script of the
part was handed to me at 10 o'clock Mon
day morning 1t was longer than Hamlet.
I told Mr. Ford that to memorize the lines
by evening was impossible, much less re-
hearse the business. Ford entreated, i'm
plored, f1attered. He declared If 1 did not
play the theater must be closed. Even at
supper time the question was not settled.
The house was sold out, and both star and
manager implored me to go on and, If
necessary, read the part from the script.
Double salary was offered if would only
try my best. l finally relented. 1 think it
was one of the hits of my life 1 not only
spoke every line, but gave a performance
which induced the star to embrace me-
Some weeks after / could not keep the Sc
cret any longer, and SO / informed Ford
that l had played the role over a week
some years before"

The novel and startling melodrama. "a

of characters to certain extent new to the
stage. The company includes many favor
ites Elsie Crescy portrays the part of
Arlula, a beautiful queen of the gypsies.
The character allows great scope for emo
tional powers. f. Laurence Lee, the au-
thor of the play, is also in the cast, ap-
pearing in the part he created for himself.
Milo, the Unknown. Anne Hardiman as
the adventures has difficult and heavy
character to sustain, but she has made a
decided hit. The heroic male character,
Delos Lamont a young Frenchman, who
is the inventor of practical airship, which
furnishes one of the sensational climaxes
of the play, is in the hands of George W.
COnklin. The comedy part of Teebie Jim
from Louisville is faithfully and laughably
enacted by Dave "A. Flynn The villain
part of Barton Williams is played by Jack
Donovan. "a Ruined Life has been a
great success since it's first production, and

Columbia Theater.

To produce two heavy Shakespearian
tragedies in succession is more of an un-
dertaking than Manager Luckett had sup
posed, and consequence, instead OF
Macbeth for the third and last week OF
the Galland Companys engagement. the
management has decided to continue
Romeo and Juliet during Monday. Tues
day and Wednesday evenings. following
with THE School for Scandal on Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday evenings ana
Saturday ma tinee.
Romeo and Juliet" as put on by Mr..
Luckett has proved a very elaborate and
expensive production. requiring great at
tentiOn to details. While offering the pub
lie this attraction he endeavored at the
same time to prepare a still more elaborate
presentation In Macbeth which was In
tended to be put on in style not seen here
since Sir Henry Irving last appeared III
this country with the most elaborate pro
duction of this tragedy ever placed upon
the stage. The Galland Company was to
have played Macbeth with all the Irving
stage business and with lavish stage set
tings. Mr.. Iuckett did not realize what he
had undertaken until the stage director
started to work upon the production. In a
very short while it was discovered that to
present Macbeth properly would take
some weeks of preparation and would re-
quire a small fortune. In no other way
would the Galland management feel satis-
fed in putting it on. Beside, it has just
become known that Miss Galland is to up
pear during the coming winter season In a
! revival of Macbeth under the direction OF
her regular manager Mr. j. Fred thinner
man, jr. Miss Galland has. during her en-
gagement here. scored one of the biggest
artistic hits in her career. Her Lady Teaze
has been pronounced a superior one, while
her Juliet. the critics and public have ap-
proved. John Blair also has established
himself as a great favorite because of hIs
excellent work.

An Effective Rebuke.
From the New York Times.

From the New York Times. II
During a recent engagement In Miiwau-
kee E. s. Willard had occasion to repuke
some thoughtless women In the audience
at his last matinee performance. In the
last scene of the play, when the denoue-
ment was a foregone conciusion-as 1t SO
often is-some of the women present rose
and began to adjust their wraps; me
noise they made disturbed Mr.. willard In
his last long speech. Amid the rustling of
silks and audible whispers the actor sud
denly came to a dead stop. The wait pc
came obvious to- every one f1naiiy, ana LOT
more than minute there was absolute
silence. Then some one applauded, ana the
handclapping became general.
Mr.. Willard stood unperturbed IN the CEN
ter of the stage. When the applause had
ceased he remarked:
II think 1t would be impolite to interrupt
those who wish to leave" Il
According to the Milwaukee scribes the
actors manner was perfectly courteous
and his smile expressed kindness. whether
they SO impressed the ladies In the ease IS,
however, matter of father doubtful con-
lecture.

"Gloriana.v

Beginning the week of Monday, June 1,
the Berger Stock Company at the Lafayette
Square Opera House will tighten the sea-
son with the production of ''Gloriana," a
well-known farce comedy taken from the
French. Its past successful performances
leaves little or no speculation as to the out
come of its production by the Berger play
ers, since the players all have a weakness
for comedy parts, and are generally seen
at their best in such vein. The piece will
have an adequate mounting.
