The theater-goers of Minneapolis will

is generally regarded as the greatest
dramatic offering of recent years when
Mrs. Leslie Carter. herself at the very
front of contemporaneous English speak
ing artistes brings David Belasco's play,
''Du Barry" to the Metropolitan opera
house. Mrs. Carter will occupy the Metro
politan stage all OF the week beginning
matinee and special afternoon perform
ance Wednesday. In the chief role of ''Du
Barry Mrs. Carter a little over a year
ago at the Belasco theater, New York,
gave the somewhat blase theater-goers of
the metropolis a decided sensation and for
months thereafter the dramatic reviewers
of gotham used all Of their superlatives in
discussing her histrionisn. Mrs. Carter
presented this play 352 times in New
York. and last December it was taken to
Boston, and Chicago for engagements of
weeks in Philadelphia. In these important
centers Mrs. Carter repeated her gotham

his most prominent star to close her

MEETS SMALL FAVOR.
.Bjornson's Pant ermanic Move Re-.
garded With suspicion by Scan
dinavian People.

the Interests Of the
Kaiser.

orally indorsed. The Danes are bitterly
opposed to it as they have not forgotten
the loss Of Schleswig and Holstein. The
SWedes and NorWegians appear to be IN
different.
Mikael H. Lie in Verden,s Gang ops
poses the Bjornson program as vision
airy and impracticable. The idea was
born in Germany, he says, is fostered by
Germans and the sole purpose is simply
lance with Emperor William as the CEN
trail figure The smaller nations like those
of Scandinavia and Holland have moth
ing to gain as Germany is governed alone
by self interest, and the little states will
be in danger of losing their independence
and their individuality.
The course of the German empire IN
recent international questions proves that
there is nothing sincere behind the Pan
Germanic talk. The attitude Of Germany
toward the United States in the Vene-
zuela affair, the immense increase in the
navy to challenge Great Britain's strength
on the sea; the support of the sultan
against the European demands for re-
forms in the Balkan Provinces. and the
failure to assist in the "open door" poll
icy for Manchuria, indicate plainly where
Germany stands with regard to the United
States and Great Britain.
AS a means of attaining universal peace
the idea is an idle dream for no great
power has more incentives for going to
war than Germany.
The Bjornson agitation, aside from
being impracticable, is a positive detri-
ment to the northern countries, as 1t
gives the impression that strong pro-
| German sentiment exists in Scandinavia
which will tend to ALLEVIATE the we'll known
| friendship of England.

Dewey-"The INVADERS"

1.-THE Invaders will open at the Dewey
theater tomorrow afternoon to remain

There will be no advance in prices, tho
at the La Sale theater, Chicago, where
the company had a run Of six months, the

play is in two scenes, the first taking
place at a resort on the coast along
the Gulf of Mexico the second on the

BIIou-"A Gamblers Daughter"

BIJou-"A Gamblers Daughter"
Commencing with Sunday afternoon, the
new sensational melodrana, "A Cam
bler's Daughter will have its first pres
entation in this city by cast of actors
and actresses Of exceptional merit and
marked ability. The piece will undoubted-
ly be well received here and prove one of
the choice events of the present theat-
rical season. The company is headed by
Miss Clara Thropp, who altho a young
woman, has won enviable laurels as an
emotional actress in the last few years.
"A Gamblers Daughter was written by
the playwright, Owen Davis, author Of
many popular melodramas, and it has
been pronounced the best of the many
works from the pen of that skilful writer.
It tells the story Of a. Chicago Board of
Trade man who surreptitiously conducts
a magnificent gambling house and with
his partner plans a gigantic and fraud
ulent wheat deal on the board of trade.
His nefarious schemes are circumvented
by his beautiful daughter, Kate, whom he
really loves, and who in turn loves her
father and faces every danger to save
him. A pretty love story runs thru the
plot, and after many thrilling escapes
and adventures, the hero, her father S

ID another woman. The deception re-
sorted to in order to bring this about is
finally discovered, but 1t Is then too late,
and Leah, In her despair, invokes a soul
whitening curse upon the recreant one.
This is the great scene of the play. Sor-
rows and trials however, ultimately work
their leaven of peace, and Leah's torn
heart softens to forgiveness, reuniting
husband and wife. 1.-THE Jewess'' will
be repeated for the Wednesday evening
performance. The repertory for the re-
mainder Of the engagement will include
elizabeth on Monday evening, "Madga"
Tuesday evening, Camille for the
Wednesday matinee and Friday night per-
formances and the latest Ibsen creation,
'.Hedda Gabler," for Thursday night.

Finland is smouldering. That seems to
be the evidence Of those who know the
conditions there. Up to the present time
it has been possible for the leaders Of the
constitutional party to restrain the peo
pie from making anything more serious
than occasional demonstrations against
Russian control. Now many Of these lead
ers have been banished by the order of the
governor general and in this way Cen
eral Bobrikoff has really sent out Of the
country those who are doing their best
to prevent an uprising Of the Finlanders.
Russia has been steadily increasing the
number of troops which she holds in Fin
land, as tho she was preparing to keep
down the former grand duchy by her great
and overwhelming military force. It may
be asked why Finland should object so
much more strongly to military rule than
do the other sections Of Russia. The rea-
son for this is that Finlanders have known
and enjoyed self government. For CEN
turtles they have been to a great extent
free men, and it is difficult, therefore,
to force them to yield to the corrupt bu-
reaucracy that now governs Russia. If
in place Of a peaceful and fairly prosper
Gus grand duchy Finland is turned, as
now seems certain, into a discontented
and mutinous province, Russia will have
lostvery much more than she can possibly
have gained by this change.

of the neatest strokes in the delineation
of his character is the episode Of the slave
girl, Eunice, who is brought to declare her
love for him.
Petronius offers to have Lygia removed
from Aulus house by Neros order; and in
the second scene the thing is done.
The second act is in the gardens Of Nero
and the entrance to his palace, a stage
setting of splendor. The rising curtain
discloses Nero. Tyre in hand, surrounded
by his courtiers. When all have gone in
to the feast, Lygia is brought to the scene
by the guard. which has torn her from
Aulus. Lygia makes an appeal to the
Empress POppea to save her from what
appears her obviously destined fate, and
there occurs the scene in which the girl,
a known Christian, stretches her hand APP
pealingly over the infant daughter Of
MUS presses his suit upon her In such
fashion as to call in the strong rebuff from

like her, a Christian convert.
