 ''Mr. Wix of Wickham's" brief story of the play: The scene of "Mr. wix of Wiekham." which comes to the Hyperi- on for three nights and a matinee, be- ginniny Monday, September 12, is laid in far away town in the interior of Australia, where Mardam Maris, a fashionable modiste Of Paris, has opened the "Coddleton Gentleman's Want Supply Stores" an extremely up to date combination of tonsoriaI par lors, cafe and matrimonial bureau. Here, with a carefully selected staff of charming girls, she does a hourishing business, and numbers among her clients all the rich young men of the neighborhood. Among these customers are Tom Howard, a young colonial mill ltonaire and his friend and tutor, MT. John Smyth of Oxford, who are devo- ted respectively to the fair Lady Betty Normanhurst and her friend, Miss Maude Benton. The Lady Betty, to es- cape distasteful marriage, has run away from her noble father. the Duke of Tadminster. who has come to Aus tralia in search of the missing heir to the dukedom. Betty and Maude are enlisted incognito as two os madames fair assistants. MT. Wilfred Wix, of Wickham, England. is manager of the I store. Through an amusing. complica- tion he is supposed to be the last of the noble line of Tadminster, and the ne- phew for whom the duke is searching through the agency of Sherlock Holmes IO'Scoot of Scotland Yard, commissioned by his grace to find both his missing daughter and his nephew. Messrs. Dodds, Banks and Potter, who are re- spectively the member of Parliament for Caddleton. the mayor and chair man of the local board, are guardians of the young millionaire. They are also loff1cers in the coddleton Town Guards, land their martial ardor Is fired by news that ''Drinkawelldry," an aboriginal lchief, is approaching the town on the warpath.
 | In the second act the scene shifts from the interior of the supply stores to the banks of river outside the town where the valiant Coddleton Guards are in camp. Here they are visited by ma dame and her fair maidens, and a suc- Icession of highly diverting incidents Hollow in quick succession. MT Wix, Inow sergeant in the Guards, involves himself in a series of ludicrous misad- ventures, is tried by court-martial for l desertion, threatened with a series of actions for breach of promise, and ges-
 erally has busy time of it. A charm Iingly fresh and interesting love story lis blended with the strong comedy in \ terest of the play, and the curtain is
 brought down on an ingenious disen-
 tangIement of the many complications l that have kept the story alive and in
 teresting to the last.

BLANCHE WALSH IN "REsURREc.
 TION,'

, I . 9
 To dramatize book such as Tol- stoi's Resurrection takes courage of exceptional kind, but an even greater
 daring is required to portray the hero inc Maslova on the stage. Those who have read the book may have thought that to do either successfully were im-
 possible. The great success of the play abroad, and it's still greater success in America, has, however, put all such
 doubt at rest.
 The long run Resurrection" has en-
 joyed in America, however, is due al
 most entirely to the personal triumph
 achieved by Blanch Walsh who will be seen in this remarkable portrayal for the firast time in this city on Sat- Iurday matinee and evening. For the l fidelity of this life study Miss Walsh
 has carried unanimous praise, viewed as an example of dramatic art, but Icomments have been varied as to whe- therw the stage is a fit place for its ex- hibition. The evil exposed in "Resur- Irection so ruthlessly is, however, the greatest blot on civilization, and as few will deny the need of a popular sermon upon such subject, it seems the stage should be a more promising arena than any other. Notwithstanding it's pie iture of vice and degradation, it's un- compromising truths which at times
 are said to be almost revolting. it has
 never been termed an immoral play.
 Miss Walsh has among her audiences
 from time to time prominent ministers
 of all creeds, and either in the public
 prints or in personal letters they have Invariably testified to the exalted nor
 al of the drama and the ennobling ef-
 feet of Miss WaIsh's famous portrayal.
 Most of the present supporting com Ipany were in the original cast during
 the four months run of the play at the Victoria Theatre. and the stage pro-
 duction with all it's massive details will | be identically the same.

wALTzING MICE.

t'Waltzing mice are curious and in- teresting little animals" says writer in Country Life in Anerca. They are not quite so long as the common gray mouse, and much more slender. They are spotted black and white at each end of their bodies, and are clear white in the middle. They whirl around on their four feet as if on a pivot; sometimes stopping and revers- ing. the direction. Frequently see two For three of them going around together in a large circle Although they waltz sometimes as long as five minutes with out rest, they appear never to get dig zy. They can, if they choose, run in a straight line but they seldom do. In stead of running away when disturbed Or frightened, they begin to waltz They come out of their nests about sundown and waltz until nearly mid night. Then they go back to their nests to sleep.
 '.One os the curious things about them is their fighting. They waltz ur- til they run into the air-and then start waltzing again They keep this up un- til they are seriously injured, some times having their tails and legs bitten off and their skins torn.
 sThere are several theores as to the reason they can whirl around in this way and yet not get dizzy. One is that it is because of disease of the brain that they inherit, I think that no one knows the real reason"
