"MASLOVA"
Miss Huff Acted Clever
Resurrection"

The opera house was filled last
evening by representative audience
that gathered to see the production
of Resurrection given by the
Mobiles Stock company. The pre-
Torrance was very creditahe but the
Mobiles company is hardly large
enough to handle this famous metro
politan production. Blanche Walsh's
great vehicle is too stnpendous for a
stock company. However the per-
formance last night cannot. be called
poor Considering all things it
was very good,
Frank G. Long took the part of
Demetri. and he proved himself equal
to the part. His work was perhaps
the best of any of tic members of last
evenings cast excepting Miss HUFF,
who. as Maslova. 'son the admira-
tion of the big audience by her ex-
cellent portrayal of the leading char.
acter of the great drama. OF course
her part was far more difficult than
any other. Her denunciation of
Demetri in act third. the prison of
Moscow, was "A splendid effort. The
trial scene was very good and intense
ly interesting but the third act was
decidadly the strongest and best of
the performance. The closing scene
in which Maslova makes her great
sacrifice is -touchingly beautiful.

for her work last evening. The
character was one of the best of the
cast
The costumes were attractive and
the stage settings for three of the acts
were very pretty. The settings for
the last act were perhaps the most
elegant.
Tonight THE Moonshiners" will
be played. This rs very popular
melodrama, filled with clean comedy
and many thrilling scenes. Tomor-
row afternoon Hazel Kirke'i will
be produced as the matinee bill. The
electric lights will be turned on and
a complete production of this grand
old play will be given.

officials on the outside seats and a
number of foreign Worlds Fair COM
missioners in the interior, passed
slowly down the Pike.
President Francis was recognized
and his progress was continued
ovation.
For more than four hours the Pike
was mselstrom of excited humanity.
The extinguishing of the lights came
without warning, and though the
darkness did not serve to dampen the
spirits of the crowd. the immense
throng turned at once to the gates.
and although the thoroughfare was
emptied as soon as possible, it was
long past midnight before the last
crowd bad boarded the cars for home.

A story which is told of Mark Twain
illustrates the theory that a humorist's

Mark Twain is a lover of Browning
and reads him aloud with excellent
power. Once he read several passages

a friend. Among the guests were
some young ladies. One of. them

Dizziness Of Court Life.

Thomas Creevey, who lived in the
early part of the nineteenth century,
has presented some queer pictures
Of English court life. During the
reign Of King William w. Creevey
wrote: ''The Greys had just come
from Windsor castle. Lady Grey, in
her own distressed manner, said she
was really more dead than alive. She
said all the boring she had ever en-
dured before was literally nothing
compared with her misery of the two
preceding nights. She hoped she
never should see a mahogany table
again, she was so tired with the one
that the king and the queen, the Ouch
ess of Gloucester, Princess Augusta,
Nine: Lieven and herself had sat
around for hours, the queen knitting
or netting a purse, the king sleeping
and occasionally waking for the pur-
pose of saying, Exactly so, ma'am,
and then sleeping again. The queen
was cold as ice to Lady Grey till the
moment she came away, when she
could afford to be a little civil at get
ting quit of her."
