tena Of Matho, commander of the barba- ran armies. the ornaments of which em- phasize the primitive, rugged brutal, eharaeteristies of a people who knew no law save that of might. It is to this tent at the dead of night, Salammbo Is forced to go alone by the action of the play, in order to regain from Matho the sacred veil of Tatin he has stolen from the temple She meets him there alone prepared to even sacrifice her virgin honor, If by doing so she can secure the veil, which alone will save Carthage from destruction and the lives of all the first porn who would otherwise be Turned as sacrifices upon the altar of the Sun God. The following scene pictures the tryst of Salammbo and Matho among the ruins of the temple of Delos, where she yainly attempts to save the barba- rlan, whom she has grown to love, be- cause of hls magnanimity.
 The last act takes place near the Aero polls, where Matho the barbarian is tried by the rulers of Carthage and con- demned to run the gamut of the revenge ful mob. He is finally exhausted by the torture, and falls dead at the foot of the temple steps, at the top of which Salammbo Is compelled to watch the whole cruel proceeding. Sympathy and love for the noble warrior breaks her heart and she falls dead across the pros trate form of her martial lover Mir Warde will of course appear as Matho and Miss Kidder as Salammbo.

shepsrd,s MovIna PIotures.

Shepard's pictures must not be con- founded with the moving pictures used in a vaudeville theatre nor with a Stod- dard illustrated lecture, or in fact with any other form of amusement introduc- ing the moynig picture In the one case the pictures introduced are usually of such adverse and brief duration that they fail to interest at all, while on the other hand the lecture attracts only certain class of patrons (according to the subject), and diverts the intellect only. Shepard's pictures consist of a two hours continuous exhibition of the finest and most elaborate moving pictures that sci- ence and artistic skill can produce.
 The programme of unlimited variety, is arranged to the most pleasing advan- tage, entalllng the same painstaling skill required to handle the plot and climaxes of a successful dramatic composition. It offers every form of diyertisement hap oily commingling comedy and pathos with thrilling dramatic incident-interest- ing historic episodes, realistic scenes of [ foreign travel and notable events, with frequent incursions into the realms of poetic fancy, displaying the weird, beau- tiful and fantastical. The entire enter tainment is equally amusing to all-the churchman, the clubman, the artisan, the old and the young

 The second camel hunt even known in America has been arranged for early in November by willie" Sells, a Topeka snowman. The first hunt more than 20 years ago. was directed by w. A. Sells, father of the Topeka man, and resulted in the capture of 12 camels.
 The coming hunt will cover the deserts Sells says he has received @ report from there within a month that several cam els have been seen.
 One report from a railroad surveyor had it that the number of wild camels in the deserts of Mexico must number 12oo. Mir. Sells does not credit this report but he believes that there is a large herd tnere

 Later a Frenchman bought a small herd to use across Arizona deserts and was fairly successful in his business un- til the trancontinental railroads were til the trans-continental railroads were the desert.
 The 1s camels captured by W. A. Sells were brought to Topeka and quartered on a farm east of here. It took nearly a year to break the camels so they could be used for exhibition, but they were fine looking animals.

known managers and careful observation of our most successful plays would seem to confirm hls opinion. Matnees, which have grown enormously in favor within the past few years, are composed almost entirely of women. Seven-tenths or any ordinary matinee may be safely counted upon as feminine In It's make up. Naturally, a play which appeals to women will draw bigger matlnees than one which does not take their fancy. As for the evening performance, the hus- band, sweetheart, or friend who Is to es- cort my lady 10 the playhouse. buys seats for whatever play she suggests, and so again 1t is the woman who decides the particular play they shall patronize. It can thus readily be seen how valuable to a play IS womans endorsement.
 One of the most conspicuous examples of plays favored by women Is Hinder Skies," Lottie Blair Parlxer's charming drama of Southern life which made It's first appearance at the New York Theatre Republic (now the Belasco theatre) four years ago. From It's initial performance up to the present date, and 1t Is now In it's third successful season, 'JJnder Southern Skies" has enjoyed the distinction of being one of the greatest favorites among women that our stage has ever 1nown. It Is not hard mat ter to dlscover~why this Is so "Under Southern Skies" presents beautiful stage pictures representing the luxuriant out of-door scenes of summer in the land of flowers and sunshine, and the indoor set tings of an old aristocratic southern
 home. The eye is pleased by these pret- ty pictures, and by the dainty costumes of the women. Everything is bright
 and pleaslng to look upon, and women
 all love to see pretty things. There Is
 an unusually large number of women in
 the cast, several of them being young and
 attractive. Few dramas afford so many
 opportunities for the display of femi-
 nine frills and furbelows, so that the

Wagenhals and Kempers magnificent scenic production of "Salammbo" which has earned such enthusiastic comments all over the country will be the attrac- tive vehicle for tho appearance of Fred erick Warde and Kathryn Kidder at the Jefferson theatre next Tuesday matinee and night
 The play is founded upon Flauberts great novel "6alammbo," one of the most remarkable books of modern au- thorship, and Is the work of Stanislaus Stange author of Quo Vadis, Dolly Warden" and other popular successes. The action of the play Is laid In ancient Carthage the history of whose people and customs Is little known beyond what has been gleamed by students from the hieroglyphl 8 found on the temples and tombs when the ruins of this once famous city was discovered beneath the sands of the Egyptian desert Blaubert prob ably selected this arena for the recital of his terrible story because 1t is impos- sible to dispute the accuracy attaching to the incidents or personages, which for the most part he drew from his fertile imagination.
 sSRlammboo'' Is Lecessaralys therefore, to be chased with the Sardou school of drama, in which ever-reourTtng situa- tions of terribly dramatic intensity are as often relieved by scenes of pageantry. In other words, 1t is an attempt to play upon the passions emotions and wonder ment of the auditor, and when this Is accomplished with any degree of dra- matic surprised, the theatrical manager is sure of rich harvest.
 The play opens In the gardens of Ham, Hears palace, showing in one direction the entrance to the temple of Tanit, and in another the entrance to the temple of Moloch, the respective Pagan dietles who were worshipped as the symbols of the feminine and masculine principlese of creation. This gives place to the apart ments of Salammbo. Every possible latitude is here given to the scenic ar tist and stage mechanic. A massive ceiling supported by alabaster columns and Greek arches, the walls draped with Babylonian tapestry swinging dais of ivory, and great throne chair made of ivory tusks, constitute the more impor- tant details.

quaint and airy eostuming of the play IS in itself a source of pleasure to the feminine spectator.
 Then the love story! What woman's heart old CT young, or what mans either, for that matter, does not thrill, responsive to a good love story? Love in it's youthful happiness and misery, and love In it's older. sadder phases, broken by sin and ohastened by forgiveness is the very groundwork of this successful play-is what gives it Its enduring strength and vitality. The pretty seen cry, the graceful gowns, the singing of the old plantation melodies, the dancing, the rich comedy of the darkies, the gay festivities of their aristocratic masters and mistresses, are the trimmings which are used to add to the attraetiyeness of this love story.
