was perfectly assumed and admirably

sential condition of settled, ineXpressi-

in every lineament of the seountenance;
in the wasted frame and in the hollow
voice; and, against this pail of an
guish, the struggle of the fiery spirit
and the indomitable will terminating
a ravaged body and reinforcing infer
nal instincts Of cruelty and revenge,
were set in a bold relief of almost
lurid light-so distinctly were they
shown and with such reality of pain
were they invested. The audacity of
egotism and the calm conviction Of
predestined prevalence, beneath which
perhaps there is an insane, defiant
rage-as when the czar, on hearing of
his military defeat, commands a choral
rite to celebrate his victory-were con-
veyed with felicitous authority al
most humorous in it's bland assurance,
and yet terrible in it's grim unreason."

ROOSEVELT CLUB IN "BARON
HlJMBUG.D

r. "A. Barnet, of Boston, author and
composer of Baron Hunbug," Is now
IN Minneapolis directing the final re-
hearsals of the Roosevelt club, and
expects that organization to give a
most finished and artistic production
when it appears at the Metropolitan
In this city on the afternoon and even
ing of March IL. Mr.. Barnet has had
much experience h1stl1is sort of work
in the past. few years, as during that
time he has producedxfourteen operas,
and not one. of thenpAhas ever been
presented without his having personal
ly conducted the rehear rsals. Among
his best known works are prince Pro
Tem,' Queen Of the Ballet" 1892"
Miss Simplicity Jack and the Bean
stalk "Miladi and the tMusketeer,"
Simple Simon" Injured Innocents"
and Excelsior, Jr.,' ss9ti.$'sls
Aside from being a clever produc-
ton as presented by the Roosevelt club,
the novelty of it will be enough to
make it a big success, for st. Paul peo-
pie have never before seen complete,
up-to-date opera in which all the char
acters are taken by men. The club
will present the Baron Humbug four
times in Minneapolis. One of the most
representative audiences ever gathered
together In Minneapolis will see the
first performance there. The demand
was SO great that all Of the box seats
were sold at auction and some of them
brought very fancy prices.

The greatness of the role of Ivan as
Illuminated by Mansfeld's genius is
most emphatically represented by the
note of serious, spontaneous and hearty
praise it has drawn from the New York
critical faculty. For once the note of
fippancy is missing. With dignity,
courtesy and emphasis their attitude
louder than their rhetoric proclaims
the impression created by Mansfelds S
Ivan.
The accounts are interesting. Never
has his virtuosity seemed more abs6-
lute,,' says John Corbin. in the Times,
"or his force of imagination more au-
thentie or more pronounced His
makeup and his minfque as the terri
BILE monarch of the dark ages of the six
teenth century Russia were wonderful
The imperial stature was shrunken in
upon itself by age and weakness. The
beard of the Russ had dwindled to a
few struggling white hairs. The voice
alternated between a reedlike, senile
quaver and a toothless humble. The
hand trembled with palsy, and the
whole frame shuddered at times with
ecstatic emotion. The very mind was
stamped on the features in the lines of
obvious imbecility. A fevered dotard,
you would say, pure and simple. And
then, in a flash, some gust of passion
or superstition would sweep across the
soul, a craven fear of the supernatural
or a remorseless and terrible anger
against man, and the form and the
mind of the old czar would stand erect
with pristine force that clutched at
your heart and made you tremble.'

.'YoN YoNsoNv AT. THE GRAND.

Although this is the twelfth year Of
"Yon Yonson," which commences a
weeks engagement at the Grand to-
night, 1t is reported everywhere that
the receipts of this comedy drama are
even larger than in former years.
When a play lives as long as lyon
Yonson" has 1t must possess merit.
The central feature Of the play is
Yon. Yonson, a good-hearted, simple
minded, unsophisticated Swede, who,
while on his way from North Dakota
IN Minnesota, falls in with party
Of travellers bound for the same place.
Through his@unselfish devotion to the
interests of his newly found friends
he disturbs the efforts of a bad city
man to swindle them. During the IN
cidents pertaining to the development
Of the plot he finds a long lost sister
among the ladies of the party loses
his heart to another, who accepts his
hand in marriage, and finally is re-
stored to a legacy which brings him
wealth and position.
A large measure Of the success of
'eYon Yonson'' is due to the fact that
instead of allowing the performance to
become inferior as the years pass by,
the management has, every season, en-
deavored to improve both the cast and
production
The title role this year is played
by Nelse Erickson, who Is a native
Swede, with experience on both Amer
lean and Swedish stages. Mr.. Erickson
endeavors to give faithful and hon
est portrayal Of the character. The
production Of the piece this season is
said to- be the most elaborate it has
ever had.

MANSFIELD IN AVIAN THE TERRI
BLE.v

< Richard Mansfield has entered upon
a brief season Of four weeks duration
at the New Amsterdam theater, New
York city, before he starts westward
on tour which will take him to the
Pacific coast and extends his engage
ments to the I'd of July. This city is
included in the tour. The last half Of
Mr.. Mansfield's present season in New
York is to be devoted to his highly
successful s'Old Heidelberg which he
has until this time played uninter-
ruptedly this year, and to-a few even
ings with revivals from his celebrated
repertoire.
Mr.. Mansfeld's first two weeks in
New York are devoted to his produc-
tion of Count Alexis Tolstoi's histori-
cal Russian tragedy, Ivan the Terri
ble,' given for "the first time in Eng
lish" at the New Amsterdam theater

"a NIGHT IN BOHEMIA"

That this years Elks show will be
a great big dollars worth Of enter
tainment for the money goes without
SAYING, it being the general consensus
of opinion among those who have wit
messed the rehearsals that the change
from minstrelsy to musical comedy
was the wisest move ever made by the
benefit committee.
Tommy Getz's "a Night in Bo-
hemia," selected for this years show,
Is musical comedy in two wheezes
and comprises number of catchy
songs and specialties, with enough
comedy to keep the audience amused
and sufficient plot to interest every
spectator
It tells the story of Edmund Keene
Cal G. Johnson), retired actor, a
good Elk, and an all-round hail fell
low well met. He has retired to "a
country place to spend the balance OF
his days in quiet retirement, and the
curtain rises on the old man solilo-
quizing on the days of his youth and
the grand old times he used to enjoy
with the bunch in New York, and
longing for another touch Of the old
life.
Dolly Mobiles, his adopted daughter,
impersonated by Mrs. Henry S. Nelson,
and Tommy Jiggs Drank Myers, her
playmate, conSplre With Dusty RnOdeS
(Jim Silke), a stranded theatrical man
ager, to give the old Bohemian an
agreeable surprise on his birthday,
which occurs a month from that day,
by bringing down a coterie Of New
York's leading actors and actresses
and putting on regular vaudeville
show for the old mans benefit.
The costumes range from the sub
lime to the ridiculous and the musical
numbers are said to be as pleasing as
anything ever heard in st. Paul. being
the choicest gems from the leading
operas and musical comedies.
The Saint Paul globe., 1904-03-06

Greatss,s the last named being q new
tragedy, in which they are said to
have met with public approval.
These two players should meet with
liberal patronage. Both are actors of
conspicuous merit. AS a reader Of
Shakespearean blank verse, Mr.. James
is unequaled by any actor upon the
American stage, endowed as he is
with a voice of SURPRISING depth and
richness, capable of an infinite variety
of modulations. It is doubly satisfying
to know that upon this occasion we
shall behold him in serious and heroic
roles IN place of such grotesque, un-
dignifed creations as Caliban and
Bottom the weaver. For, much as Mr..
James delights to play these fantastic
monstrosities, 1T is nevertheless a fact.
that he excels in the portrayal of such
roles as Brutus, Macbeth and Othello.
In Mr.. Warde the American stage
possesses an actor who is a profound
reverential student of Shakespeare,
and who as such takes just pride in
revealing the great dramatist's sublime
thoughts and marvellous touches of ma
ture stI1at make the whole world kin.
1t is devoutly to be hoped that these
two tragedians will be accompanied by
an adequate leading woman, especially
as they have seen fit to include the
immortal Macbeth" in their roper
toire.
During the intervening two weeks
professional theatricals will enjoy a
sort of midseason vacation, SO far as
st. Paul's leading theater is concerned,
as its stage will be chiefly devoted to
