"The High Rollers" at the Star.

There are two excellent specialties
in the bill at the Star this week. The
three LelIiotts present a splendid mu-
steal act with a variety of instruments.
Miss Lelliott played equally well upon
the harp, the violin and the cornet but
her harp solo was especially note
worthy. The selections are doubtless
chosen to please the indiscriminating
audience but the Lelliotts display an
ability to interpret the best musical
compositions.
Another noteworthy speciality is a
trick bicycle riding turn by the Arm
strongs They perform some feats that
we have seen before and great many
that are new but they are all intri-
cate and hazardous. Howe and Scott,
Hebrew comedians, singing parodies
and doing the Yiddisher cake walk, are
clever and were well applauded. Other
specialties are contributed by Carrie
Franklin and Abbie Carlton. The lat
ter assumes the role Of commentator
on some living pictures. Her remarks
need a severe application of the scis-
sors and the same applies to several
portions Of the first and afterpieces.
The opening farce is very reminis-
cent of 'The Man from Mexico" in the
plot but not in humor as the original
was funny. The burlesque, or after
piece, Is the same as last season.

Anna Held Opens Tonight.

Anna Held in F. Ziegfeld Jr.'s pro-
duction Of "Mam'selle Napoleon" will
be seen at the Metropolitan for one
week with Saturday matinee only, be-
ginning tonight. The play has been
adapted for use on the American stage
by Joseph w. Herbert, and the musical
score has been provided by Gustav Lu-
ders, composer of 1.-THE Prince of Pill
sen," ''King Dodo," 'The Burgomaster"
and other successes.
The scene of the play is laid in
France during the most brilliant period
of the Napoleonic regime; the character
assumed by Miss Held being that Of
the emperor's favorite actress, Mile.
Mars. The play is in three acts
and five tableaux and has no fewer
than forty-four speaking or singing
parts, to say nothing of over one humid
red persons in the chorus.
The first act shows the green room
of the CCmedie Franchise in 1909; the
second act takes place on the lake at
COmpeigne, Napoleon's summer resi-
dence, and the stage represents an
island in the middle of the lake in
moonlight, with the chateaux for an
imperial fete Illuminated in the back
ground.
The third act, first scene, represents
the interior Of the Grand opera house,
Paris, during a masked ball; the Sec
ond scene shows the historic Return
from Elba," with the emperor and his
staff on horseback at the head of a
battalion of Grenadier guards marching
into the city.
The company includes such we'll
known artists as Franz Ebert, Joseph
w. Herbert, Knox Wilson, Henry Berg
man, Frank Rushworth, Arthur Lau-
renee, Fletcher Norton, Harry M. Blake,
Billy Norton and the rest of the orig
inal cast as seen at the Knickerbock
theater in New York city. Madame
Held and her company arrived in the
city last evening.

The BALKAN NUISANCE.

Let us refrain from feeling perturb-
ed because there is prospect OF trouble
in the Balkans. AS a matter Of fact it
makes not particle of difference to
the world whether the Bulgarians are
fighting the Turks or no. We are dis
posed to feel sentimental about the
Bulgarians. They are looked upon by
the masses in this country as deserving
Really we might better sympathize
with the Turk who is engaged in po-
licing the country.
The Bulgarian is natural insurrec-
tionary. He employs agents who
prate about liberty, but as body the
Bulgars have no knowledge of liberty
as distinguished from license. They
are constitutionally opposed to paying
the cost of government. There Is no
apology to be made for the Turk. His
administrative methods are generally
atrocious. But then he does admins
ter, and the Bulgar would not attempt
to conduct any sort of orderly gov
ernment. -
1t is not the Turk or oppression that
the Bulgarians revolt against, but the
tax collector. Being something Of a
vagabond, the Bulgar is opposed to
settling for anything which is not tam
gible to him. When he pays taxes for
the maintenance of some form of gov
ernment he feels that he Is paying for
an institution that is likely to interfere
with his natural bandit predictions.
1t would be as though special tax
were imposed upon the criminal
classes in this country for the mainte-
nance of jails and policemen. This Is
so far true that the nations Of Europe
are rather inclined to impose the Bull
garian upon the Turk than to attempt
the regulation of his affairs among
themselves. The Turk is not all that
one might ask for in aneighbor, but he
is probably superior to the Bulgar,
who has not even the excuse of reli-
gious fanaticism to plead for his un-
ruly life and bloody disposition.

THE WEATHER.

1t will have been noticed that for
a day or two we have had milder
weather. 1t dates from Thursday when
the weather man was heard to say
that he gave it up. Now with no de-
sire to cast reflection upon a hard
working weather prophet, it certainly
is significant that as soon as he settles
back in his chair, gives up the weather
and has nothing more to do with it,
that things begin to look up in the
weather line.
We disavow the intention of perpe-
trating spring editorial upon a
chilly and long suffering public, but
We believe, without stretching a point
or economizing the truth, we can say
that spring is coming. So Is sum-
mer and next winter. Thus far we are
safe. There have been several things
about this winter-still lingering in the
lap Of spring-that have been UNIQUE.
One Is that during the past year the
weather department in this city under
went an entire change and a new man
was put in office. 1t may not have
affected things in the least and we
may be hard to suit, nevertheless it is
noticeable that for twelve months
straight we have had cold weather.
Last summer was mild winter which
has been followed by the coldest win
ter since the one Uncle ST tells about
"back in SO"
We do not like to affirm in so many
words that the present incumbent of
the office from which predictions are
sent forth, has anything to do with
the strenuous life we have recently
led, but 1T is significant fact that
since-he went into office, we have had
considerable weather. Of course mn
man who obtains an important nosi-
ton can be blamed for wanting to
make record. But we submit that
with six straight weeks Of intense
cold' persons freezing to death on ev-
cry hand. whole towns CONCEALED. and
the coal and wood-piles bereft of their
stateliness, any weather man should be
satisfied. Now if the weather observer
will continue his attitude of Thursday
and be content to rest on the laurels
already won, we will admit that he is
the greatest prophet in the worlds his
tory and let 1t go at that.

At ST. Paul Theaters

''The Kerry Cow" that sirocco of
blighting sarcasm, withered the villain
and his mortgage at the Grand opera
house last night with the happy sue
cess that has added SO often to the
fortune, if not to the fame, of Joseph
Murphy. A crowded house rejoiced in
the blacksmitf's exploitation of retri-
butive Justice; the people know it as
'gettin' back good and plenty"
For the "Gow," as your parents, or
your grandsire, will remember, If
you've forgotten, is a character farce in
four gloats. The first, where an excel
lent young blacksmith is torn from his
sweetheart by ten soldiers and a cap
tain, Is an unkind slap, perhaps, upon
the glowing cheek Of Virtue; but there
after only the righteous are permitted
to indulge such ''knock-down per-
sonalities as pass for finest wit in pop
ular estimation. There's sufficient mix
ture also of genuine Irish sentiment
and humor to explain the lasting pop
ularity Of the play. Most applauded.
however, was the incidental song and
dance by the little jockey at Dams
smithy.
Mr.. Murphy stands up bravely in
his fight against time. Never q spon-
taneous or flexible actor, he remains
most meritorious, like his rival Chaun-
cey Olcott, in quiet passages of dry
repartee. His singing voice is not
heard in Kerry Cow" but he plays
musically upon his anvil and he man
ufactures horseshoes with all his for
mer skill.
OF his support, Miss Mary Fermier,
whose piquant countenance is more
Irish than her name, displays we'll
employed facility of gesture and facial
expression. Miss Pauline Fielding,
chief Of the five decorative jockeys,
sings Irish ballads with lark-like fresh
| ness altogether unprofessional.
