William E. Philip, whose tenor voice is one of the features in ''Winsome Win nie," which comes to the Jefferson the atre on Monday, March 21, had little experience in Johannesburg, South Africa, in 1891 which opened his eyes to the home life of the Boer. MT. Philip was engaged in mining, and while stopping at the Northwestern Hotel, then kept by James Singleton, since become famous in South African affairs, had one of the hostelry' s most spacious rooms.
 One morning his host asked him with some show of embarrassment, whether he would not like to change his apartments. There was something better-perhaps. MT. Phillip would like the room in view. MT. Philip protested that he was quite well satisfied and seeing the embarrassment of his host asked bluntly for the cause. Then MT. Singleton explained that there would arrive that day a Boer man of influence upon whose vote depended the license of the house. And MT. Boer want ed the particular room MT. Philip was oc- cupying. Mir. Philip obiginly moved next door and that night arrived the member of the Volksrand. a typical Boer. with q following that consisted of a wife. a son of twenty a daughter of eighteen, two younger daughters, a kaffir man-servant, A maid and two dogs.

And now that the picture is soon going away, it's popularity seems greater than ever
 Mana is the highest form which the DOT trayal of the nude feminine beauty has ever attained. The figure of Mana seems endowed with life and wherever the pie ture has gone in all countries of the globe, lovers of the beautiful have wor- shipped the lovely conception. It is 8 part of the liberal education of the times that all the people shall have access to whatever Is best. brightest and noblest in art as well as literature. It is<a glo- rious privilege that this greatest picture in the world should be available to the eyes of everybody instead of being jeal- ously locked up in the recesses of some private picture gallery; and it is a privi- lege which nobody should neglect to take advantage of during the short time still left The picture is on exhibition daily from 10 a. m. to 10 p. m.

Amelia Bingham.

Miss Amelia Bingham, the only actress manager in America, will be the attrac- ton at the Jefferson theatre next We'd nesday, when she will be seen in the pow erful Historical romance, "Olympe," which was written expressly for her by Pierre Decourcelle, the French dramatst who also wrote TWO Little vagrants. !" Miss Bingham originally produced the play some weeks ago at the Knickerbock- CT theatre, New York, and sne will pre- sent 1t here with sidentlcally the same sec nic and costume equipment and played by the same organization which she has enlisted in her support.
 The fame of Miss Bingham, both as star and manager, is firmly established. This is the fourth season she has been conspic- uously before the public in both capaci- ties. The success that followed Miss Bin gham's productions of The Climbers ,' "A Modern Magdalen," and the "Frisky Mrs. Johnson" is theatrical history, and guarantee that her latest offering "Olympe," is a worthy successor to her earlier triumphs.
 Miss Bingham, as has been said, has al- ways surrounded herself with very good actors and actresses and in her "Oympe' she will have. practically an all-star cast to support her. Prominent in the cast are Harry Woodruff, most. distinguished young player; Creston Clarke, the ne- phew of Edwin Booth, who has success fully starred in Shakesperean parts J. H. Gilmour, an English leading man. In a sympathetic role; Frank Lander, a young actor of wide experience; Myron Calico, a dignified Tespan; Louise Galloway, Ivy Troutman and Adelyn Wesley
 Miss Bingham will bring two car loads of scenery and will give "Olympe' with all the same richness of effect and com pleteness of detail that distinguished the New York performance
