Belle of the West, ,

An event to look forward to is prom
ised at the Bijou beginning with a
matinee today in the engagement of
dainty Florence Bindley in the latest
musical offering, "The Belle of the
West.' It is away from the beaten
path and the locale gives opportunity
elaborate, to say the least.
Miss Bindley as Virginia Lee, a
Washington girl, goes to Idaho to be-
come a schoolmarm. A college lover
who is mining engineer, also goes to
the same place to look after a mine.
He is accused of robbing a stage coach
and is almost strung up by the vigi-
lantes, but the timely arrival of Vir7
gln1a Lee and the confession Of Con
nor ana hdder put an end to all
itself nicely and tunefully. Miss
Bindley is fitted with a part that car
RES her into popularity at once. She
is assisted by some good vocalists and
exceptionally clever character actors.
The chorus of thirty girls is one Of
beauty. The management having
searched every haunt Of beautyland,
has succeeded in assembling one of the
prettlest .choruses presented in many
day. The scenery is fresh from the
studios, the costuming gorgeous and
the music is all Of the catchy sort.

"Sophie WorreI''
on the Old DAYS

In. quiet retirementzin st. Paul lives
a woman who, in private life, is known
as Mrs. Hugh A. 'Donnellf but who TO
the stage world of earlier days will
ever be remembered as one of the ia
nous Worrell Sisters,H and an actress
who, in her day, turned away people in
various theaters from coast to coast.
It was the Worrell Sisters who first
made popular the light opera. And it
was the Worrell Sisters who were
among the first to bring into promi-
nence that form of dramatic entertain
ment known as vaudeville, to which
hundreds of theaters are now solely da-
voted.
Mrs. O'Donnel has JUST returned
from Kansas City, where she was the
guest of Mrs. T. w. o Mara, .l015 JEFF

Deuey-'F 1.-THE Utopia1s'

The Utopian company, under the di-
rection Of T. w. Dinkins, has always
been noted for it's high-class character.
This season, however, all previous eff
forts have been outdone. Manager Din
kins has gotten away from the old idea
of an opening and closing burlesque
where slap-sticks and settler bottles
abound, and presents neat extrava-
CANA in two acts, with the olio be-
tween. This extravaganza is called
" Mixed, Muddled and Fixed,'' and en-
cages the entire company. Such we'll
known funmakers as John W. Jess, Joe
Madden, the Brooks Brothers and others
look after the comedy portion, while
over a score Of beautiful girls take part
in the musical numbers and dances.
0. Hama San is the topliner of the
vaudeville portion. She is beautiful
woman of the Orient, and presents a
brilliant electrical act called "Scenes
from Japan. ~ It is something far out
Of the ordinary, never before seen in
this city. Others in the Clio are Mad
den and Jess, premier Irish comedians;
the Two Ashtons, comedy jugglers;
Brooks Brothers, comedians; Rose
Jeanette, singer aid dancer, and Black
ford and Hunter, clever sister team.
The show is well put together and can
not fail to please the most exacting.
The Utopians will be at the Dewey all

Lyceun, Polite Vaudeville

J. The excellent vaudeville bill which
the Lyceum has presented the past week
will continue until Monday afternoon.
The Sunday performances, therefore,
will include all of the big acts which
won favor with crowded houses. .--
y The likes and dislikes of the Ly-
ceum $ patrons have been carefully con
sidered, and the character Of the en-
tertainments now being presented are
Of the best. Haidee's imperial troupe
Of Russian dancers is the top-liner for
the new bill. The dancers will appear
in native dances and costumes, as well
as the elegant measures and dresses pop
ular with the court Of st. Petersburg.
The Nambos, Japanese acrobats, have
a pretty act which introduces some
novel tricks in balancing and tumbling.
Jones and Walton have a comedy sketch,
while the Marinellas, gymnasium lead
ers, perform many interesting feats on
the flying rings. :.
Maud Elliott, Lewis and company will
present a little play which has been well
received on the vaudeville circuit, when
the audience is weary of laughing at
Jimmy Lucas, the toy monologist. Lucas
is heralded as a. bold prevaricator who
issues fiery challenges in the course OF
his harangue, but his size has thus fa1
prevented him from getting into trouble
A fine set Of motion pictures will close
the performance.

Metropolitan-"San Tow

Dainty, tuneful and picturesque "San
Toy, ," gowned in silks and satins. will
be seen at the Metropolitan for three
nights and Saturday matinee, beginning
fhufsday night. There is already an
interest manifested in it's coming which
1nsures IT a rouslng, reception, for the
clever: Chinese musical comedy will
have the benefit of an exceptionally
strong cast; and in the mounting will
present stage pictures which for artistic
elegance have not been equaled in any
previous production of musical comedy.
- The story Of "San Toy'' tells how
Yen How, a mandarin, to save his
daughter from the emperor's harem,
rrears her as a boy. He succeeds until
the, girl falls in love with an English
soldier, when the secret leaks out and
the mandarin is ordered to- bring his
daughter with him to the court. Y en-
: How is in great danger, of losing his
head, but San Toy captivates the en-
peror and speedily becomes the favorite
lady Of his court. For her sake the
emperor spares her fathers life and
also gives his, !. consent for her mar
riage to the English soldier.
1t takes some time to tell the pretty
story, and there are moments when It
gether in the conglomeration of songs,
jokes, dances and magnificent group
ings, but everything IS 50 diveertingg
that. no one who sits thro the two acts
would suggest any curtailment. There
are bits of g San Toy ;, that remind one
Of g The Geisha" and the q Mikado,,'
but its own attractive features are SO
numerous, nobody has time to figure
them out. The score Of ".San Toy''
has tWenty-six delightful and original
numbers, Of which those most in favor
are, Little China Maid,'' "Hoda ans
Her Pagoda, - and UChinee Soier
Man. The play is filled with solos,
duets, quartets and concerted numbers,
every one Of which is clever enough to
win encores. - San Toys setting is
strictly in keeping with the superiority
of the cast. Every costume is new and
the scenery is also fresh from the
studio.
sa#s1HASani Toy ran for over two years
IN London to crowded houses and re.
manned in New York for an entire sea-
lson. Last spring it was again put on
at Days theater, New York, and
played to the capacity of the house
each performance and then moved to
Atlantic City. 1t is considered the most
popular musical comedy ever sent from
London. rs |.s
