The Butte inter mountain., 1903-01-10

OF red berries in the hair. In the second
act a pale blue satin dress is SHOWN and in
the third act an evening dress heavily
laden with jet This exhibition of milli-
merry and frills would do credit to Mrs.
Osborn, the manageress dressmaker of
Fifth avenue. Mrs. Langtry has not inn
proved as an actress to any great extent,
still she is attractive and graceful, with all
her old-time high-bred manner and car
rage.
Monday night 81 he Billionaire," musi-
cal comedy with Jerome Sykes as the star,
romped into Days theater for what prom
ises to be a successful run. The piece las
many Jolly spots. several catchy musical
numbers and clever libretto. Mr.. Sykes
is the same urctuous comedian that he was
in Foxy Quiller," and everything is joy
Gus while he is upon the stage. The sup
porting company includes several COM
petent comedians and vocalists, and the
chorus a lot of young and pretty girls clad
in aiaphanous costumes. The scenery is
also an attractive adjunct.
Across the way at Walack's, George
AIDES musical farce. The Sultan of Sulu,
is OH view. The piece in many respects is
different from any OF a like character and
is of course filled TO overfowing with Mr..
AIDES qups and jects. 1t moves with
lively strides, and from beginning to the
end s amusing. The music is original and
pleasing. the company competent and the
scenery and costumes adequate. The
Sultan" has been received with measure
OF approval and will probably make money
for all concerned.

;C al tho Garden thpatpr Hamlet
which was given a few performances in
this city two seasons ago. Sothern as
Hamlet is like no other actor in that role.
1t is a complex character and he has
evidently studied il with care. He is orig
inal and interprcts the part with genuine
reverence for Shakespeare. As Ophelia,
Cecilia Lotus shows marked Improvement
in her art. and her performance is pleas
ing, il not great. Daniel Frohman and
Mr.. Sothern have given the play sump-
tuous production in every detail. As an
entertainment il is a credit to the stage.
The first act of The Millionaire" at
Days is in two scenes, the first show
ing the lobby of theater and the Sec
ond the auditorium. Here congregate tho
wel-known first-nghters-.the kickers, the
Knockers and the dramatic critics. Every
thing is realistically represented. In the
auditorium on typical first night are seen
the regulars who have just before ap-
peared in the lobby. The orchestra Is
pounding away at the music, while the
important usher tramps up and down the
aises slamming the seats There is the
woman from the suburbs who refuses to
remove her hat. and the genial "lusher"
who climbs over people to reach his seat
in the middle OF row. On the open
ing night this scene was received with a
hurrah seldom seen in hrst-class theater.
1t went with rush and tcked the critics
and hrst-nighters to man and wom-
an. As a novelty it is bound to attract
attention. William Gillette has sent yours
truly unique Christmas souvenir. 1t
is in pamphlet form, with three engravings
on the inside. One represents Mr.. Gillette
as himself, one as a yachtsman and the
other the famous scene in Sherlock
Holmes" where Moriarity makes a call
upon the famous detective. The book is
handsomely gotten up and is intended to
