1.-The Eternal Feminine -

Frank L. Perley is to present Margaret
Anglin for the first time this season
as a star in a play which has won
unusual triumphs in Germany. Italy and
Russia. This play, THE Eternal Ferni-
nine" is alluring for other and better rea-
sons than those suggested by its appealing
title. 1t is said to be an extraordinarily
clever adaptation from the original German
work of Robert Misch, one of the most sue
cessful writers for the Teuton stage and
often designated as THE W. s. Gilbert of
the Fatherland." The action Is laid at or
about the period 400 B. C. The incidental
music (Which will accompany the dramatic
progression throughout In a symphonic
way) has been composed by DIR. Horatio
Parker of Yale University. who has made
an especial stud. of early forms and in

LAFAYETTE Theater.

Sherlock Holmes will be the attraction
at the Lafayette next week The play
ranks with the best-known stage triumphs
of recent years. Its greatest strength lies
in pointing out the contrasting phases of
one of A. Conan Doyle's complex detective
problems, but it possesses also live interest
and vein of comedy.
The famous Stepney gas chamber, with
its wonderful Ingenious electric contri-
vances, has perhaps excited more genuine
curiosity than any other similar attempt
at stage light effects known to scenic ap-
planes. This weird and unique scene,
which consumes nearly the entire third act
of Sherlock Holiness" is the invention of
William Gillette who was manifestly de-
termined that proper emphasis should be
placed upon the atmosphere created by the
author of the unpublished story which pro-
vides the plot.
David Davies is still appearing as Prof
Robert Moriarity, a part in which he has
been distinctly successful for the past two
seasons.

panied by Pierrot, and 1.-THE mysterious

semblance. Pewitt's face measures seven
feet in diameter, and its likeness to the
phy siognomy of Titan is strengthened by
an elastic covering like skin, under which
are what appears to be muscles that con-
troll the eyes. jaws. lips and expressions.

eral Partisan periodicals. He has always
shown decided talent for music. and ne
devoted himself to musical studies while
abroad. 1t is probable that, had not liter
allure secured the upper hand in shaping
his career, he might have made music ms
life work, and the few compositions that ne
has thus far allowed to be heard give such
promise that it is not unlikely that he
would have found himself as popular as
composer as he is a writer. One of his
achievements in this line was burlesque
for the Hasty Pudding Club, entitled
dido and Aeneus.'' He wrote the greater
part of the music as well as the book and
lyrics of this piece while still an under
graduate at Harvard. and it proved so sue
Boston, but in New York and Philadelphia
as well. He has recently written song
entitled "Ten Thousand Cattle Straying,"
and snatches of this are to be sung by the
cowboys in the play made from The Viz
ginian."
The law office was opened upon his return
from abroad, but the longing for the wild
west proved too strong, and in less than a
year he was hunting mountain lions in
Montana. 1t was on this trip that he got
the taste of ranch life that made him re-

Wister, the dramatization of whose sue

in any way suggest by his manner, speech
or appearance a man who has spent a

what this eastern writer of vivid and alb
sorbing cowboy stories has done. Since
early in the sos he has made an annual
trip of several months duration to the land

If Mr. Wister's description of ranch life

the west seems to be acute, IL his feelings
for western instincts are sincere, and il the

by the great Nelson family of .acrobats,
whose phenomenal "stunts have
aroused the enthusiasm of Orpheum au-
diences. the past week. They have
proved such a popular feature that the
demands of the Orpheum clientele, have
been hearkened to-, and the family re-
tanned for second week.
The Drews are of good stage stock,
Mr.. Drew being brother of the famous
John Drew, and uncle of the three Bar,

Mrs. Drew being the daughter, of the
distinguished actor, Mckee Rankin
