"rhe Jewel of AsIa."

Vera Michelena. the sighteen-year-old comedienne, last year the star of 'Prin- cess Chic" made such a hit in the title role that Manager John r. SiocuIn secur- ed "The Jewel of Asia" as a vehicle to exploit her in this season. It Is the work of Frederick Ranken and Ludwig Eng lander, who have just finished new op- eras for Lulu Chaser, Fritzi Scheff and De Wolf Hopper.
 Miss Michelena is one of Manager Slo- cums discoveries. She is the third prima donna whom he has taken from the real of the unknown and put to the front -the first being Grace Van Studdiford, recently prima donna with the Bosto- nians; her first chance in an important part was given her by Manager Slocum when he was managing Jefferson De An gelis Marguerite Sylva is the second young woman whom this manager pro- noted from an obscure part in ''The For tune Teller to the let ing role in sPrin- cess Chic" Now comes Vera Micheelna, the daughter of Fernando Micheelna, who was the Jean De Reszke of opera in the South American republic of Venezuela some years ago. At an early age the young girl was brought to this country,

 There are 1S,506 words in the manu- script, read by seventeen principals in one hour and ffty-eight minutes. There are seventeen scenes in the play; the canvas in these scenes would cover an area of 1O2.740 square feet and would be sufficient, if of the proper kind, to clothe about eight 90-foot racing cutters, such az the Reliance, the Columbia, the Con- stitution or any of the Shamrocks.

There are 150 feet of rope on each line. making 56,250 feet or 1014 miles of rope used in the production of "Ben Hur." In the chariot race scene eight horses are used; each horse runs one minute and fifteen seconds. Though running on treadmills they cover a distance practi- cally of 1920 feet or a quarter of mile at each performance. There are 1900 i6- candle power incandescent lamps and sixteen electric calciums used during each performance The incandescent lamps burn 900 amperes and the calciums 400 amperes-combined 1900 amperes"

"rhe Prince of PIIsen."

'sThe Prince of Pisen" is to come to the Jefferson theatre Wednesday, De- oember 21. This most successful work by Frank Pixley and Gustav Luders mas been kept fresh and popular partly by It's own good qualities and partly by the excellence of its casts.
 The production now at hand brings artists who have more or less been iden- tified with their parts. Ida Stanhazer the brunette comedienne, is to play the f1irtatious widow and Jess Dandy will be seen as the Cincinnati tourist who thought that his eminence as brewer granted him the title of the Prince of Piisen. Arthur Donaldson, who created the part of the real prince, will be heard again in the stein song, Pictures in the Smoke and "The Tale of the Sea She'll" and another member of the original cast is Ivar Anderson, the American naval lieutenant of the story. Almyra Forrest has the pleasing role of the Vassar girl Jeannette Bageard brings the experience of two seasons to the part of Sldonie.

THE CHRISTMAS PUDDING.
Complete Directions for a Delicious
 and Satisfying Dish.

 Plum pudding should be made several weeks beforehand, that it may ripen, so to speak. and it's flavor develop. For large pudding or three medium sized ones there will be required: One pound fresh beef suet, shredded fine and Tree from strings and skin, one pound seeded raislns, chopped fine, the same cleaned entrants, one-fourth pound shredded can died citron one ounce each or candied lemon peel and orange peel, cut into thin strips, two ounces bleached almonds, cut into bits, one teaspoonful each of ground cinnamon and ground cloves, one-hal1 teaspoonful salt, one of grated nutmeg, one-haf pound each of sweet butter and granulated sugar six eggs, one pint sweet milk the juice of two oranges and one lemon, and one and one-half pounds four
 Mix the fruit and dredge it well with sifted flour; then add the chopped suet and mix again; in another bowl cream the butter and sugar; add to this mixture the egg yolks beaten smooth and light, the milk, and, when the whole has been well mixed stir in the stiff whites of the eggs alternately with the sifted flour. eat light then add the spices, the fruit juices, and one-half teaspoonful of so- da dissolved in little cold water; then add the fruit mixture, and with the hands work into compact mass. Have the pudding. mold or individual molds well greased with soft butter; i'll with the mixture, and steam from Tour to eipht hours. according to size, never al- 1nvoing the water to cease boiling for an instant during that time. If granite or earthen molds are used. run melted par affin over the tops of the buildings when done and stand in a cold place. If the mods are of tin, the buildings must be turned out before being put away in a cold place to ripen. When needed. steam an hour or two before sending to the ta- ble.

 One of the adventures possible sle most excitable one among all the stories told by the celebrated romancer Is the basis upon which William Gillette has reared his play, entitled Sherlock Holmes," a composition of genuine dra- matic worth, sparkling with crisp dia- logue and replete with unctuous humor while embodying all the salient features of melo-dramatic novelty. Aside from these highly commendable qualities, the introduction of some exceedingly unique electrical effects has been devised, which are in themselves a pronounced innova- ton, and necessitate the employment of complicated light contrivances The pro- duction of Sherlock Holmes at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow, with a bar gain day matinee will be similar to that used in the long London and New York engagements, and the cast Is headed by Mir Errol Dunbar.

"SherIock Holmes"

The most profound and advanced stu dent of criminology must admit with per- feet candor that the Sherlock Holmes of Sir A. Conan Doyles is remarkable cre- ation. The followers of the famous Doyle Detective stories must be impress ed with the conclusions which his hero arrives at and the deductions indulged in through the medium of his intellectual reasoning are of interest to those who would take step deeper into the realms of criminal operations Neither in the annals of Scotland Yard nor the Plnker- ton agency Investigations can be found such series of thrilling adventures as have been chronicled by Sir Doyle, and 1t is everywhere conceded that Sherlock Holmes, with his hypochondriac and mis- anthrope notions, outclasses in keen per-

Paper Wears Out Hard Metal.

The Harper's have been obliged to man. ufacturer a new set of electrotype plates for printing tho Masquerader. This is most unusual event in connection with any new novel. So great have been the orders for this book, however, and so fre- quent the editions, that the first plates have been worn out, and the book has been published only six weeks. As ev- cry one knows, books are not printed from type nowadays, but from electro type plates. and 1t is surprising to real ize that the delicate touch of the paper on the hard metal repeated hundreds of thousands of times, has in six weeks worn away the plates of The Masquer- adpr.

"The Llqhthouse by the Sea-"

The story of "The Lighthouse By the Sea-" which will be the attraction at the Bijou theatre all this week is said to be one of unusual dramatic intensity, in which intrigue, envy, passion, love and heroism are dominant factors, the last named being thrillingly demonstrated in the feat of a young girl, Minty, frail little creature abandoned by some circus people. because she could not endure the hardships of such a life. Caleb Gale, the blind keeper of the lighthouse, gives her a home, and right royalty does she repay him. He Is stricken down in a ter rife fight with the villains, who extin- gulsh the light, destroy the stairs and abduct his granddaughter. The steamer bearing the girls lover Is nearing the rocks in the awful storm raging. The situation seems hopeless when, In the midst of the terrific electric storm, with the waves dashing mountain high upon the jagged rocks below, the storm laden clouds rent asunder by vivid and blind Ing flashes of lightning, and the sharp crack of heavens artillery mingling with

Slocum had for Princess Chic" last season was taken i'll on her western tour and had to be sent home Mir. Slocum happened to be familiar with the stories about Miss Micheelna's won derful voice and beauty. although she was then only seventeen years old, and after seeing her and listening to her sing ing he had no hesitancy about offering her the part of Princess Chic"
 This season Miss Mieheelna takes a step still higher up the operatlc ladder in singing the title role in 'sThe Jewel of Asia" which Is said to be a much more pretentious undertaking than ''Princess Chic" and better adapted to her wonderful range of voice. The Jewel of Asia" will be seen at the Jeff ferson theatre Saturday matinee and night, December 24.
