1.-THE Adventure of the Lady Ursula"
one of Anthony Hopes most light and
graceful creations, is also one of Florence
Roberts most pleasing characterizations.
Her portrayal Of the character has the
added merit that it is singularly free from
mannerisms-the little outoroppings of in
dividuality that so often blemish the most
artistic work. Indeed, it may be said
truthfully that the Lady Ursula is ap-
parent all the time and Florence Roberts
Is invisible. 1t is only consummate art
that renders this possible, and that art
has long ago been conceded as being hers
The audience that app1auded her last
night filled the house to the doors and
was more than ordinarily select and in
telligent one that was quick to respond to
the delicate flashes of humor in the play
and to the nicely of the acting 1t was
however, a persistent audience and would
not be denied when it recalled Miss Rob
erts and Mr.. Henderson at the close of
the pretty third act after the admirable
love scene between Ursula and Sir George
Sylvester, who, as personated by Lucius
Henderson, is made abnormally handsome
for a misogamist. Mr.. Henderson is ex-
cellent support manly, and with sufficient
pulchritude of form and feature to render
it easy for the audience to sympathize
with Lady Ursula for falling in love with
him. He dresses elegantly also, the time
of the play, in the latter end of the ro-
mantle days, enabling all the characters
to do so, and he possesses the rare faculty
of being virile without coarseness, and
refined without effeminacy. Outside of
these two leading roles there is not much
for the remaining members of the COM
pany to do. In the small part of Mrs.
Fenton, Miss Fanny Young proves good
fit, acting the old lady with becoming dig
nifty. Miss Bertha Blanchard is very ac-
ceptable as Dorothy. William Yerrance
exhibits considerable character in his
handling of the part Of Rev. Mr.. Blimboe.
but at times he coarsened the personation
in the attempt to be funny. But every
thing goes in a comedy and 1t is permis-
sible to laugh even at a clergyman of the

Grand opera-House.

The clever little children of the Pollard
company presented paul Jones' very
successfully at the Grand Opera-house
last night. The opera is full Of interest
ing features and the talented juveniles
made the most of every opportunity The
audience expressed its full appreciation Of
the production with continual applause
The little people of the stage appeared to
enjoy it all as much as any of their hear
ers. The opera has a nautical setting.
nearly all the songs are new and catchy
Daphne Pollard, the precocious 5-year-
old, was the favorite of the audience. She
was encored time and again after each of
her special performances. Alice Pollard
was also particularly pleasing in a part
which gave her ample opportunity to
demonstrate her exceptional vocal ability.
Her pretty face and sweet voice are
enough of capital to make her star in
any company.
Ivy Pollard, in the title role, was as
charming as ever. Her part is a difficult
one and she handles it in a very credit
able manner. Irene Goulding was another
young miss who charmed her hearers
with the music of her voice and who
shows great talent for acting. Willie Pol
lard, in the character of old salt,
created plenty of amusement with topical
songs and eccentric dances. He is a born
comedian. Connie Pollard and Willie
Thomas also had humorous parts, In
which they appeared very advantageous
ly. The other little ones of the company
furnished support commensurate with the
work of the principals.
Dorothy will be presented this even
ing and tomorrow night. Thursday and
Friday nights and the Saturday matinee
will be given to the production of that
old fayorite, III NJ. S. Pinafore." The
last performance of the company's en-
gagement will be 1.-THE Belle Of New

particularly successful.

ADMIRAL EVANS

Roundly Scores Mem
bers Of Nicholson
COurtmartial.

CHICAGO, Sept. 21.-The complete
record Of the court martial case of Assist
ant Paymaster Richsworth Nicholson, on
the Atlantic station, received at the Navy
Department to-day, contains a severe
court which trieds Nicholson because of
the inadequacy of the punishment inflicted
by the court. 1t was alleged that while
on shore at Chefoo, China, Nicholson be-
came intoxicated and assaulted an elderly
civilian. The sentence of the court was
that Nicholson be reduced five numbers
in his grade. Rear Admiral Evans in re-
viewing the case says the evidence'was of
such a character that the sentence should
have been nothing less than dismissal
from the navy. Three officers Of the court
recommended clemency.
These three officers" says Admiral
Evans, "have proved to the convening au-
thority and to the fleet their unworthi-
ness hereafter to act as members Of a
court martial. 1t is sufficient to make
their brother officers blush with shame to
realize that there exist among the com
mand, officers Of the navy, at least four
for that was the smallest number re-
uuired by law to have arrived at the find
ings and sentence in this case-who have
so little interest in maintaining the honor
dignity and discipline Of the service, and
so small an idea Of the binding quality
Of the oath which they took as members
Of the court"
The Admiral disapproved the sentence
as being wholly inadequate and insult
ficient, and in order that it shall not serve
as a precedent in future cases. Nicholson
is native of California.

ADDRESS BY BEN GREET.
Students Are Urged to Work for In
terests Of Drama.


STANFORD UNIVERSITY, Sept IL
Ben Greet never met with a heartier re-
ception than that accorded him at As
sembly Hall this morning when he ad-
dressed the second general assembly Of
the semester. The distinguished actor
was introduced by President Jordan and
spoke very entertainingly on the English
drama and the part II plays in the worlds
affairs. He said in part:
'Noltaire has said that a nation may
be judged by its drama. I would make
II broader and say that the character Of
a nation may be judged by its art, in
Guiding music. painting, sculpture and
last but not least, the drama Up TO the

slow; before that time art had fiourished
chiefly in architecture. The introduction

just ready 70 be aroused from a long pc
riod Of harbarism.
Much is due TO the part the church
played, for mankind must admit that in
the days OF the so-calIed chivalry the
church alone kept alive all forms Of art
including the drama. Plays were not only
written but acted by the priests them
selves"
The speaker then paid fitting tribute
TO the memory Of Shakespeare. saving
in his eulOgy that his birth was the
greatest event in the life Of the drama
he set the dramatic standard"
Referring 10 the lack Of appreciation
Of the worth and position Of the drama,
Mr. Greet said.
There are many people who say the
drama has no place in the world except
as a matter Of amusement To which

ONE THOUSAND SERVIAN
OFFICERS IN THE PLOT
Military Conspiracy Against Regi-
cides an Affair of Large
Proportion

LONDON, Sept. 2L-The Times corre-
spondent at Belgrade sends review of
the situation in Servia, in which he says
the military conspiracy at Nish directed
at the regicides is far graver than the
Government dare acknowledge. OF a to-
tai of 1500 officers 1000 are said to be con-
cerned in it, and probably the bulk of the
nation secretly sympathize with them.
The clique OF assassins, however holds
all the chief civil and military offices. the
keys of the arsenal and the treasury, and
any one crossing it's path is doomed The
King is surrounded, and many doubt If
he will ever shake himself free. Minister
Gentchitch, in whose house the regicide
plot was Matched and who conducted the
secret negotiations with King Peter, is al
legged to possess an discriminating letter
which is kept hanging over the royal
head. Lately, however. the regicides are
beginning to realize that they have gone
too far and must moderate their attitude.
The elections are looked forward to with
considerable interest.

ed with sore throat and the manage
ment was compelled to put out the an
nouncement that Carmen" would not be
performed until tomorrow evening, ow-
ing to the indisposition Of Marchesini.
A large audience assembled, but many
went away when it was apparent that

Central.

The Central Theater capped the climax
last night and captured a packed house
with its revival of Dion Boucicault's
thrilling melodrama, After Dark" The
audience was given a surfeit of exciting
incidents and the tumultuous applause
proved that the famous old play has lost
none of its power to fascinate and en-
thuse. There were curtain calls at the
end of every act, and it is seldom that a
performance is so thoroughly enjoyed in
every detail as was this greatest Of all
tank" dramas.
The scenery was elaborate. The Thames
River is represented by real water, on
which steam launches and rowboats float
and in which there is heroic rescue
from drowning. The gambling den raid

Kolb, Dill, Bernard and the other fun
makers continue to extend THE Glad
Hand to crowded houses at Fischer s
Theater, which was packed to the doors
last night. 1t is composed of the best
selections from the Weber & Fields sue
cesses and the fun is kept up from start
to finish. The doll scene excites the
risibles Of the audience to the highest
point. The songs of Miss Amber, Miss
Jenkins, Winfield Blake. Harry Hermsen
Miss Vidot and Misses Hope and Emer-
son are catchy and tuneful, especially
my Cocoanut Lu," by Blake. ''The Con-
curers," travesty on the play THE
Conquerors," is also full of fun. One Of
the most taking features in it is the quar-
tet, Honey, VIII You MISS Me When I'm
Gone?" which was repeated several times
last night. The audience could not get
enough Of the song, "It Was the Dutch"
by Kolb, Dill and Bernard. Miss Am
ber's song, my Pauline was charmingly
rendered and received with vociferous ap-
plause. The song and dance, Honey
Send Home for Money" by Flossie Hope
and Gertie Emerson, proved not the least
attractive feature Of the travesty.
