serted their post of duty in the front
rows. This because of the advent of
the show-girl-a butterfly of excessive
drapery, picture hat of alarming size
and parasol of effulgent dreaminess.
There is every reason to believe, how
ever, that the hairless heroes of old
mer forwardness. Already is heard
from afar the bugle blasts announcing
the temperance of marching tights
and the battle flag of rainbow hosiery.
For the past few years, the frizzy-
headed, chiffon-founced show girl.
like lilies of the field, in full blown
finery of rustling skirts, have swept
the stage in a glory undreamed by
Solomon. In thu meantime, tights
and hosiery were forced into costume
forgetfulness. But the clock has
struck and the final hour of the show
girl is ringing in her powdered ear.
For the last times she has Flora
dora-ed herself in all the finery of
which the arts of millinery and dress
are capable.
There may be few, kind sirs, at
home, as the song goes, but they will
be left there in their trailing gowns
and statuesque poses. The expense
of gowning the tall willowy creature is
too much for the box office. Every
surge of the billowy laces, every wave
of flowing drapery, engulfed in a
dressmaker tide, the profits of the
manager.
De Wolf Hopper in his successful
revival of Wang" showed the man
ayers how to run show without
show girls. Instead of surrounding
himself with frills and flounces, the
elongated comedian has demonstrated

effort for these merits he has in full
ness-his dramatic weakness lies else
where. He has none of the artistic
necromancy by which an actor con-
jures his audience into the belief that
he is other than he is-that the player
and the role are one and not two
identities.
No actor has this gift in it's entire
ty some possess it in more or less
degree, woe to the player If he have 1t
not at abby its standard art is meas
ured. If it runs in the dramatic veins
of Mr.. Hanford, it is no stronger than
sterilized milk. When Mr.. Hanford
assumes the role of Petruchio he is
not a tanner of shrewish women; as
Richard, he is hardly more than a
royal masquerade; in Shylock, his
Jewish blood is watery, while as
Othello he is lover whose wooing
would have frightened less timid
Desdemona. At Thursdays matinee,
Mr.. Hanford's Othello certainly ter
rorized the children without convinc-
ing the grown-ups. At the night per-
Torrance, as Don Caesar" he settled
more into the part. Once or twice he
threw into his lines and action such
touches of swashbuckling deviltry as
might have made Victor Hugo recog-
nize some of his own romantic color.
Miss Drofnah, also from sniveling
Desdemona in the afternoon, wore
the mantle of Mariana at night with
no little success at concealing her
own personality.
AS usual, Mr.. Hanford's company
was mediocre. There was so much
fuss and feathers about some Of them,
that, if art and effort were the same,
the salaries would pay for something
more than sweat upon the brow.

that tights are timely The economy
of much hosiery and less drapery has
appealed to the purses of managers
everywhere. No longer is the SUBJ
stance of the chorus to be lost in con-
cealment. 1t is said also-oh, can it
be true!-that the girls now being Sc
lected are examples of physical full
ness. There is to be no artificial re-
lance upon sand or sawdust in filling
out the silk stockings-the real dan
ger lies in swelling them to the point
of safety The foregoing will be good
news to the charter members of the
Front Row Club in Salt Lake. With
the Impotence of joy long deferred,
local bald heads are waiting to ap-
pease their optic hunger. Now that

Those of us who remember how
Harry Beresford mixed things in"The
Wrong Mr.. Wright" also pleasantly
recall how successfully he played the
storm center of that whirlwnd of run.
In his latest play ,"Our New Man."
he had secured something equally fast
and furious, with situations so rapidly
following each other as to tax the
capacity of an alert audience.
Our New Man." we are told, affords
Mr.. Beresford even more strenuous
opportunities than his former comedy.
AS Truman Toots" he sets the pace
that kills with laughter. The comedy
consists of three acts, while the COM
plications of the plot require a hun

professor, Is said to be scientific

For many years Charles B. Han
ford has been tempting fate in Shake
spearian roles. We have seen him as
the wife tanning Petruchio, the brutal
Richard. the mercenary Shylock and
the jealous Othello-but, in all of
these stormy characters he is incap-
able of distinguishing between
Shakespeare and Lincoln j. Carter
There Is gulf between the former
and the latter, much wider than the
Chicago river, and Mr.. Hanford can
not leap the distance with the lead of
melodrama clinging to his shoes.
To some, the art of Mr.. Hanford
may appeal as something approach
ing the best traditions of the stage.
These good people are entitled to
their opinions. But, have always
thought that Hanford as an actor.
whatever may be his appreciation
and understanding of Shakespear-
ian role, can give it neither dramatic
expression nor temperamental inter-
probation. The question is not as to

The brother following the
 wishes of the dead father, is the head
 of the household, and naturally over-
 solicftous for the welfare of it's every member, and he particularly resents his sisters impudent actions; so much so. that in a display of temper by her, when she takes exception to his broth- erly advice and entreaties, he impuls- ively deals her a blow that places her almost lifeless body at his feet. During his subsequent alteration, there ap- pears a woman who is seeking the
 downfall of both, the one in jealousy, the other in revenge; she administers an opiate to prolong the sisters insen- sibility. Then with the assistance of an unprincipled scoundrel, she takes her to a room in the country and keeps her a prisoner. She finally escapes from her captors after one of the most novel and exciting, yet consistent scenes ever presented on the stage; and after perilous trip across the country, arrives at the prison just in time to avert tragedy that is about to take place.
 The story is a wholesome and inter-
 esting one, and is treated with great severance and delicacy by the author,

MONTE CRIsTO.

The Count of Monte Cristo, in the full splendor of his new environment, will make his appearance at the Fly perion theater next Thursday Every thing possible has been done to make the production the most satisfying ever given the Dumas drama. Mr. O'Neill will, of course, play the part of Monte Cristo. That his conception and exe- cution of the role is absolutely perfect is proven by the fact that he has been seen in the role almost five thousand times, in every city of any importance in the United States. The new inter- est attached to this production is the lavishness with which it is staged. The fourth act, which shows that conserva- tory and ballroom of the Hotel Nor cerf, has been mentioned as a sensation of scenic are. Praise has also been be- slowed upon the last act, which repre- sents the rise of the sun in the forest of FontainebIeu. John Young journey ed to the south of France for sketches for the Chateau diff.
