LIE GRAND

"A play straight from the heart, a
story of love and hate, laughter and
tears, is one way to describe James H.
Wallick's big scenic production Queen
of the Highway" the attraction that
will hold the boards q! the Grand for
the week commencing with matinee to-
day.
Queen of the Highway is the work
of Charles A. Taylor. 1t is play
founded on facts and lacking in the
rough and tumble element common to
latter day meiodramas. The production
is said to be one of the heaviest of the
season at the Grand as to the num-
Der of people, scenery horses, wolves,
dogs, electrical and mechanical effects
carried All the scenery in the theater
is set aside, and nothing but that car
sried by the company is used.
One of the thrilling scenes of the
play is where the hero is at the mercy
of a pack of wolves. Rainbow" the
little Indian girl, rides horse on
run to the top of high platform, dis
mounts, turns the animal, fastens a
rope to the pummel of the saddle,
throws the end of the rope to the man
battling below with the wolves, and
then guiding her horse carefully along
the narrow platform she causes him
to haul the hero to safety.
The trick has now become so thor
oughly rehearsed that there is little
danger, except where the lights are at
fault, it being night scene, and the
only light that aids her is the spot
light that follows her every movement
from the fly gallery.

them. They differ vastly from each
other, yet all are not only possible but
very probable, normal men and women.
Of course, in the hands of mediocre
players such a delicate. comedy would
be as thin and colorless as water and
the spectators would see nothing to adj
mire, provided they remained awake.
But, fortunately, the play was admir-
ably acted.
Miss Ethel Barrymore's irresistible
impersonation of Cousin Kate was
thoroughly delightful, wholly convinc-
ing, and totally free from palpable
theatric artifice. The merits OF her
portrayal were pointed out at some
length in this paper the morning after
the performance. Bruce McRae's por-
trayal Of the exuberant Irish artist,
Heath Desmond, was another felicltous
achievement while Annie Adams was
the very embodiment of the prim, pre-
else and practical Widow Spencer.
It was all SO refreshing to contem-
late such natural, rational behavior
and speech, the Wholesomeness, as we'll
as the brightness of the latter, being
especially welcome. Excellent stage
direction was manifested in every
movement-every piece of business,
as it is technically known.
Let it not be inferred from the fore
going reflections that competent actors
and clever plays are unknown quanti-
ties in St. Paul, for some worthy at
fractions visit us every season. But
this one, from any viewpoint, was con-
spicuousiy meritorious in quality, moi
TO say rare; and as it was the hrst
real artistic triumph and delight or the
season, it deserves the tribute OF speclal
and repeated praise. #. q. II.

1.-THE ROYAL CHEF" AT THE MET
ROPOLITAN

"The Royal Chef" musical comedy,
which ran for twenty-three weeks in
Chicago, and which comes to the Met
ropolitan on Thursday, with the same
cast, is said to possess a coherent plot.
The story in brief relates the adj
ventures of one Heinrich Lemphauser,
who having successfully conducted his
campaign in Chicago for alderman, de-
Sires to recGperate his health by TAX
ing advantage of the alluring adver-
tisements of Cooks tours. 1t hap
pens that he lands on the island Of
Oolong at the very moment when the
king of the island threatens a whole
sale decapitation of his subjects, un-
less cook is found who will take the
place in the affections of his highness
that was held by the late caterer just
deceased. Lemphauser makes his ap-
pearance in the midst of the alarm
created by the kings threats.
The lord chamberlain asks the Teu-
tonic representative from Chicago what
may his business be. He is about to
impart the information that he is &
Cooks tourist. He has no more than
said Cook than he is raised aloft on
the shoulders of four of the kings
guards and hustled to the royal kitch-
ems. Heralds have preceded the I'M
fortunate Lemphauser and announced
to the king that the quest is over. a
cook has been found. The king rushes
to the kitchen and commands the new
chef that he prepare at once dish
that the gentleman from Chicago has
never heard of. and should the dish be
to the kings dislike, his head will pay
the penalty for his inability to please
the royal palate.
Lemphausers protestations of in
capacity are taken by the king as an
evidence of the new chefs modesty.
The dish is prepared and to conceal

numbers requiring the services of
twenty-five comedy girls.
Prominent among the vaudeville fea-
lures are the five Sisters Ballatzer,
Europe's sensational gymnasts. This
act, it is claimed. is one of the most
daring ever attempted by women.
Among others in the company are
Farron and Fay, German comedians;
Harvey and Walker, singers of catchy
songs; the Sisters Delay, three dainty
musical maids; Lorraine and Candy,
the man with the funny legs and the
girl with the big voice; Belle Wilton
and Marie Barrison, the gay burles-
quers. Larry McCale, comedian, will be
seen to advantage in the leading COM
edy characters in the burlettas. La

Arnold Daily presented a new COM
edy by George Bernard Shaw, written
especially for him, at the Vaudeville
theater, New York last Monday night.
1t is called ''IIow He Lied to Her. Hus-
band and will follow "The Man of
Destiny" In the work Mr.. Shaw does
not spare even his brother satirists,
and puts to stage use the old maxim,
IF man be man of honor he must
lie almost daily, so seldom is there any
other way to serve woman"
The author tells of a youthful hero
in love with another mans wife. He
arouses the husbands suspicious, and
when called to account, lies most con-
ventionally. The result, however, is
decidedly unconventional, as the hus-
band refuses to believe the well mold
ed lies, and many astonishing compli-
cations ensue.

HE HELPS DEMOCRATS
BY STAYING ON TICKET

tween Baldwin and the Democratic
candidate for the Levy Court from that
district, John w. Greenfield, cannot be
learned. but everybody knows the
stand that Mr.. Baldwin is taking Will
aid the election of a Democratic Levy
Court Commissioner from his dis
trict.
Many of the Union Republican
friends Of Mr.. Baldwin expressed as
tonishment this morning that he would
for John Edward Addicks or anybody
else allow himself to be a party to
turning the Levy Court over to the
Democrats.
If Brown is defeated it will be due
entirely to the action Of Addicks and
his farmer, Robert l.. Baldwin, the
Union Republican candidate.
Several friends of Baldwin ex-
pressed the hope this morning that he
would. before it is too late. decide to
get out of Browns way and advise all
his friends to vote for William ].
Brown, and thus try to save the Levy
Court for the Republicans.
