evil exists rather in the absence than tho
use of the melodramas, such as bad
treatment, poor construction, Wishy-
washy lines and cheap actors. In other
words, romantic drama we'll put to-
gether with poetic lines and the characs
knowledge of the actors art, can be a
thing most, interesting and Instructive;
but conglomeration of stirring events,
strung together without regard to con-
tinuity, with ear-splitting phrases bel
lowed forth by actors whose only claim
to, distinction is the possession Of a
robust physique and foghorn voice, is
has tended to lower the melodrama in
the estimation of intelligent people is
the habit of exploiting the careers of
thieves, thugs, road agents and other
| lawbreakers. The seal of disapproval
should be stamped on all such produc-
play upon the morbid and immature.
The main objection to such plays is
that the situations are overdrawn, and
that the unexpected too often happens.
The fault is usually that of the author
or actor giving himself too great license.
Ii they would sometimes introduce a
climax, properly led up to and not strive
breaking episodes the. result would be
higher class Of melodramatic plays,
such as the "Queen Of the Highway,''
by Charles A. Taylor.
This is produced under the able man
agement of James H. Wallack and is
staged with the same correctness of de-
tail that has made all his productions
so successful. 1t will be the attraction
at the Bijou -opera-house next week,
commencing with matinee tomorrow at
$3.50. 1t is a play pure and simple,
founded ON facts, with a definite and
well considered plot and entirely lacking
in the rough and tumble element seen
in the latter day dramas. .....--~..
The production is said to be one Of the
heaviest of the season, as to the number
Of people, scenery, horses, wolves, dogs

ried. Unlike most plays of this class
the comedy is not Jumped into one
scene, but is well distributed thru the
four acts.
The company is said to be an unusual
ly good one and includes Miss Evelyr
Wood. as Belle Diamond, the Queen OF
the Highway; Miss Alberta Lee as
Rainbow, halfbreed Sioux; Dorothy
