JACOB RIIs COMING
He VIII Lecture at Plymouth Church Of
March 1.

MarC1 !.
Jacob Riis will lecture Tuesday evening,
March. /. in the popular entertainments
course Of the Young Mems Christian asso-s
citation. His subject will be ''Tony's
IIardships." He Will speak in Plymouth
church because the association auditorium
Is not large enough to hold the audience
which will hear him. Season ticket hold
ers will have opportunity to exchange
their tickets for the church plat one day
before the regular sale opens. '..
1t is never necessary to advertise Mr..
Ris' coming further than to announce the
date. This particular subject is given
without illustration! The lecture is a story
of the street arab who throws stones
the effort to tame him, and the success
which crowns such effort.
Mr. Riis is specialist in the question of
a fight for decent living conditions in the
metropolis. He is known as a specialist
thruout the world. His fame is not con-
fined to the slums, nor to New York nor
to the United States. neither will his fame
die to-day. 1t will increase as posterity
begins to appreciate his magnificent, but
lowly, efforts in the great city for the re-
demption of the submerged class. g..
The human interest in Mr.. Riis' lee
lures strike responses in his listeners un-
til they are thoroly en- rapport with the
speaker. Not a polished orator, his en-
thusiasm in his subject takes right hold
of his audience in way that none but the
natural orator holds people. sr
AS an author, well as worker anC
a public speaker, Mr.. Riis has built up
considerable reputation. His books are
well read: 1.-The Making Of an American
"The Battle with the Sums" "How the
Other Half Lives" THE Children Of the
Poor" "Out Of Mulberry Street"
1t is years since Mr.. Riis has been able
to fill all the engagements offered. he is
50 much in demand by women's clubs ant
star lecture courses. Minneapolis is very
fortunate to secure his services again.

"BARON HUMBUC"
READY TO POLISH
ROOSEVELT CLUB STARS GEE
TING PARTS DOWN FINE.
Minneapolis to Hear Opera Before
New York Gets Chance-It Is
Pronounced One OF the Very Best
OF Barnett'S Productions.

That r. A. Barnett. author of THE
Queen of the Ballet and Baron
Humbug," last years and this years
productions of the Roosevelt club. is
recognized as one Of the best writers
of light opera and musical comedies is
seen from the fact that Mr.. Barnetts
services have already been engaged Tor
the next three years. He has been
writing and producing operas for the
past ten years, and has yet to put out
a failure The Boston Cadets, club
of young men similar to the Roosevelt
club, have been producing his operas
for several seasons. SO popular nave
all his productions been, both with the
club members and with the theater-
going public of Boston, that the CLUB
lost no time in signing d contract with
Mr.. Barnett for the next three years
In this period Mr.. Barnett must pro-
duce annually a new opera for the
club, and is not permitted to put out
any other work. For these services
the club pays him a handsome salary
and surrenders to him the rights of
the opera after they have used it for
one week only.
Last year Baron Humbug' was
produced in Boston, and was consid-
cred by far the best of MI. Barnetts
operas following his famous '1492'
which was produced several seasons
ago. 1t was simply a stroke of good
luck that the Roosevelt club secured
the rights to this opera before prO1es-
sional people got a chance at it. AS it
Is, the local club must present 1t be-
fore April l. Immediately after that
1t surrenders it's rights to the produc-
ton. and two weeks later Baron
Humbug" will make its professional
appearance in New York City.
If hard and conscientious work are
the only two essentials necessary to
produce nearly perfect opera, then
Baron Humbugs' as given by, the
Roosevelt club will certainly be a sue
cess. The members have been work
ing almost constantly since the firstof
the year, and are now devOting four
nights a week to rehearsals. Up to
this time, the work has all been sep
arate. The principals have carried
on their rehearsals in a room by them
selves, the dancing girls have been I'M
der the direction Of Miss Malcolm, and
the singing choruses working with
Robert Gale, the musical director.
Commencing with this week, all the
members In the play will work to-
gether, and by next Saturday night it
is expected that the entire first act can
be put on without a hitch Or delay Of
any kind. The rest Of the time, be-
tween this and March IA, will be spent
in polishing the first act and in get
ting the rest Of the opera reduced to a
degree of smoOthness that marks the
work of the best professional COM
panieS.

Improvement the Order.

Tn productive skill and inventive
genius. advancement is the order of
the age. The battleship of few years
ago hardly compares with the perfect
specimen of to-day. The recent sleep
ing cars and locomotives possess valu-
able features not dreamt of by the,
manufacturers of only a few years
back. This is perhaps exemplified in
no better way than by the Milwaukee
roads Pioneer Limited. This cele-
brated train is made up of cars COM
bining devices and features for the
comfort and ease of the traveller con-
sidered impossible in the recent past.
1t has remained for that progressive
railway to produce the famous train
of the world.
