"GIittering Gloria. /"

John c. Fisher and Thomas w. Riley
production of their newest Importation
"Glittering Gloria" will be seen at the CO.
lumbia Theater during the week of March
IS when the original New York company
will give a presentation of the London play.
The piece is described as a high-class farci-
cal comedy with musical numbers inter-
spersed. Yet It differs from the conven-
tional comic opera or musical comedy, in
that the main interest attaches to the dra-
matte aspect of the piece, the songs and
Choruses being introduced incidentally. The
play was written by Hugh Morton, the au-
thor of THE Belle of New York., and it is
claimed for it that it is lively in action,
brilliant in dialogue ard very amusing in
situation. The music is the work of Ber-
Dard Rolf; young Engiishman who is not
known in this country, but who has some
very promising achievements to his credit in
London. The cast includes Adele Ritchie
Gertrude Gheen. Channez Olney, the Heng-
Ter sisters. Cyril Scott, Percy f. Ames, Fer
dinand GottschalK, Forrest Robinson, Geo.
Schiller, Eugene O'Rourke and others.

Lafayette Opera House.

Weber and Fields.

From the Chicago Reeord-Ee
AS one meets them in the everyday walk
of life. Weber and Fields are as much alike
in the fundamental traits of disposition as
two men we'll could be. and yet, to the
casual observer as entirely dissimilar.
Weber is a little bit of a man. always cool
and collected, weighing the chances and
figuring on the results. Fields ID tall and
slender impulsive and thoroughly imbued
with the artistic temperament. Fields will
say:
Joe, want 100 girls in that ensemble
number. 1t will be picture"
Weber will say:
Lew it will be a picture on the stage,
but 1t will be a chrome in the box office,"
Then they will lock arms and stroll to
some remote nook of their little Broadway
music hail. and in five minutes everything
will have been arranged, and the artistic
temperament of Fields will have effected its
compromise with the box office caution of
Weber. In twenty-seven years they have
pursued this policy of listening to each
other, and In twenty-seyen years they have
never clashed
One afternoon two years ago they dis
agreed seriously on question of policy.
Weber said it must be So and Fields said
1t mustn't. There was no oral outburst,
but each seemed hurt and stupefied. They
left the music hall by different doors. All
thought, or at least feared that at last.
after a quarter Of a century of struggle,
privation and ultimate golden success, the
rupture had come. Everybody about the
little playhouse was saddened. An hour
later. seated side by side on the high stools
of a bootblack stand at the corner of
Broadway, were Weber and Fields They
were having their shoes polished, and
Fields was helping himself to peanuts from
a paper bag which Weber held In out.
stretched hand. The quarrel-the one seri.
Gus quarrel of their career-had ended on q
bootblack stand almost before It had
begun.
There's nothing demonstrative about the
friendship of these partners They always
dress together, and their greeting is al.
ways:
''Hows every one at homer"
That Is all, and yet they move together
and work together, and actually are to-
gether, like two pieces of mechanism Joined
by some master hand that knew when he
wrought that separate they might be use,
less, but working in unison were destined to
worthy achievement.

Empire Theater.

Next week the Empire Theater will offer
to it's patrons Messrs. Fisher and Davis
production of 1.-THE Power of the Cross, -
with Miss Hermine Shone in the stellar
role of Mabel Talbot. The play is non
sectarian, although central figure is a
parish priest and one of the principal
themes deals with his efforts to build a
church for his poor parishioners. Miss
Shone portrays the character of the

Henry Lee and his players will constitute
the attraction at Chases Theater next
week. This touring company comprises
Henry Lee, Ellie Fay, Edmond Hayes,
Charlie Sweet, Klein, OFT Bros & Nickerson,
Press Eldridgessand the Vedmars. Henry
Lees impersonations of great men, past
and present are said to be delightful evil

an actor. They go beyond the limits of the
ordinary vaudeville offering and reveal re-
freshing novelty. They are living portrait

representations include Emperor7IWilliam
King Edward VII, Car Nicholas IL and the
Mikado of Japan. In addition to these. the
late Pope Leo Rudyard SKiplipg. Mark

Gen. Grant will be portrayed At different
times during the week other likenesses will
be introduced. Effie Fay will disport her
self in characteristic fashion. Miss Fay
combines in her. personality the ginger

his own Bijou Company will present "A
Wise Guy which deals with the adyen-
lures of the Hon. Spike" Hennessy. The
dinner scene in this mirthfu farce is worth
going to see, as 1t arouses laugh after

and those who admire him genuinely

Mr.. Jones is quite alive to the need of

he lays down certain conditions which are
reasonable enough. An endowed theater
should be the home of modern playwrights
as We'll as classics, Ii should exclude
cliques and fads: ii should be mana ged by
the right man: it Should have "a compe-
tent body of trained actors, containing a
fair proportion of players whose personal
fties as well as their technique draw the
public; and il should teach playgoers to
take a higher pleasure in the dramatic art
than they take in the variety show These
are not eccentric ideals. they are perfectly
compatible with the belief that for the
multitude the variety show will always bs
the greater attraction. The aim of a SUBJ
sidized thea ter is to preserve an art for a
minority; and if any citizen holds that this
is contrary to democratic principles let
him visit the National Gallery and tell us
how much democracy he finds there.
Cniuckily, Mr. Jones devotes much space
and heat to an issue which is rather con-
fusing. He inveighs against the root

though the dramatist may suffer at their
hands. Some plays may lose by the inter-
probation, and others gain by the person
afity of popular actor but the difference
belongs to the higher criticism Is il wise
to perpleN the playgoer too much with
that?
After all, Mr.. Jones admits that in the

adorn the company at that figure for the
rest of his life. On the other hand. the
offers of higher terms elsewhere may not
always be so tempting. When one salary
is sure and another though bigger. is rot
will the actor always prefer the speculation
to the certainty? At the endowed theater
he might frequently act fine parts to the
perfect contentment of his admirers. AT
another house he might play one fine part

0CouSiu Kate. y

New National Theater during the week of
March 49, is said to have found a role in
the name part of Cousin Kate" the new
comedy in which she is this season present
ed by Charles Frohman, better suited to her
winning personality and talent as come
dienne than any she has heretofore played.
Cousin Kate is Kate Curtis, novelist, who
writes of love as though it was but a dis
ease of the brain from which all sane peo-
pie should strive to escape. Yet. withal as
Mrs Branscombe expresses 1t in the play
itself Kate is very different from her
books" The story of the play is but the
story of how Kate falls in love at last-and
at twenty mine falls in love and wonders at
her own folly in decrying love. She will be
seen here with the New York cast and pro-
QuctiOn.
