"The Jewel of Asla.n

Four years ago the name of Vera Mi= chelena now the prima donna of "rhe Jewel of Asia. which will be seen at the Jefferson theatre next Saturday matinee and night, was unknown to the musical stage. Her father. Sig. Fernando Mi- ohelena, was famous as the leading tenor of the EnnIa Abbott organization, but

 Miss Miehelena referred the enthusi- astic manager to her father. The lat ter's consent was finally obtained. One week later the country rang with the praises of thls young woman who had come out of the west to i'll the position once so proudly held by Lillian Russell and Alice Nelson.

"The Two Little Waifs."

'The Two Little Waifs,n Lincoln J. Carters strong melodrama. will be seen al the Biiou all this week. with the us- ual matinees.
 The five acts in which the play is divided are well staged. The stage set ting and explosion effects are as a rule in this play MT. Carter has given us a story of exceptional worth and consist ent in it's plot thus giving the eompa- ny ample opportunity to do some excel lent dramatic work.
 The story tells of twin sisters. one the sweet. loving mother and the other a callous. cruel adventures, which parts are taken by one and the same lady. The way in which she portrays these two characters and her lightning changes and makeup Is marvellous. and it needs the closest watching to detect the fact that 1t is one person only playing the two parts. This theme of mistaken identity Is as old as the drama itself, but In this piece it is told in an entirely new and cleverly conceived style.
 Two children who play the parts of the two little waifs, give a very pa- loneliness in their little hearts which never fails to bring tears and sympathy from every man, woman and child. There is a rare vein of comedy that frequently cuts in between the more se- rlous action of the plot and several novel specialties arc introduced.
 The scenic inyesture Is much in evil dence and with the electrical and me- chanieal effects form an elaborate stage setting.
 Juvenile talent enters very prominently

CT city of size in this country and Cam ada has agreed with the metropolitan verdict.
 The story of ''The Prince of Pilsen" Is told in Nice during the carnival of flow CTS. When the fete Is at it's height tha proprietor of the Hotel Internationale learns that the Prince of Pilsen, travel- ing ineognito is a prospective guest who may arrive at any minute. With an eye to improving business and establishing prestige he spreads the news and sets about receiving his royal guest with proper pomp and pretention. He em- ploys a band of musicians to meet the Prince at the railway station, engages a bevy of girls to strew the princely way with flowers and makes all further ar engagements for a noisy and showy re- ception.
 1t happens that Hans Wagner. Gin cinnati brewer, and his daughter go to Nice to meet the brewers son, who is lieutenant on an American warship vis- iting that port On their arrival the leader of the band mistakes Wagner for the Prince and all the music, flowers and homage are devoted to him. The brewer, at first amazed. finally concludes that the popular acclaim for "The Prince of Pisen' follows his prestige a ma ker of pilsener beer. When the real Prince a dashing young Heidelberg stu dent, arrives with his suite, not only is he ignored, but he finds difficulty in get ting hotel accommodations.

PLAYS AND PLAYERS.

Just imagine three of the principal characters in one of the most typical and most successful of New England plays in recent years being played by southern ers-and real, down-right, bred-in-in-the bone southerners at that. Yet that is just what we have in the presentation of the New England rural drama. "Qun- cy Adams Sawyer" which will be seen at the Jefferson Christmas matinee and night (Monday). The best of it is that this peculiar combination has proved most popular one in every way. They all fussed and fumed a little-these three when the manager said he wanted to engage them to play parts in a New Eng land play. Their southern blood rebelled just a little. But as soon as they had seen another company play the piece they fell so in love with the characters, and appreciated how immaterial it was what locality the characters hailed from and where the players of them hailed from, that they forgot their sectional pride.
 The artists in question are Miss vir- ginia Beech, who plays the role of Hulda Mason, Miss Ada Pugh, who plays the role of Lindy Putnam, and Jas Thatcher, who plays the title role. It may be that the young ladies contemplated that there were two section of the country famous for it's beautiful girls, the south and the country towns of New England, and they could not decline the honor implied in inviting them to assume these roles.
 Among the song hits of Fred F. Wrght's new musical farce comedy, "The Beauty Doctor" which will shortly be seen here. are Where Was Moses When the Lights Went Out" "The Lobster and the Maid" Loved One So Pure and Ten der" and Zulu idyl with native en- vironment entitled arhe Little Maid of Zanzibar" said to be one of the big musi- cal hits 5f inc season.

Refused to Work.
From the Baltimore Sun.

From the Baltimore Sun.
 A physician in South Baltimore, having decided that fiagpole on his house would add to its good appearance, employed a man to rig the staff to his roof. This man had for his assistant a six foot negro imbued with all the supersttions Of his race.
 The big staff had been hoisted to the roof and was nearly in place when the negro happened to glance down at the crowd that had collected in the street to view the work.
 The physician, desiring to see how the work of setting up the pole was progress ing. had gone to the opposite corner to see the work, when the negro saw him. The crowd saw the darky stop working and say something to his employer Then the negro left the roof, and the work was postponed The negro had said:
 Look, boss. dere's dat doctor down dare lookin fo' a joh. I knows Tse agwine to fall off dis roof and dat man Il cut me up. Deed. 1 ain't agwine 10 strike another lick O work while dat mans down dere'

 The plot has many complications but is cleverly constructed. The two ehil- dren are really the cleverest tots that have been seen here this season. The dual role of the sweet wife and the cruel adventures requires some difficult acting to successfully portray the char acters. The cast as a whole is evenly balanced.
