Theatrical Notes

The Eizabethan age is depicted in
Dorothy Vernon Of Haddon Hail." in
which Bertha Galland viii be seen at
the Opera House this evening. Sur
rounding the gifted young star are just
such grande danes and court gallants
as Shakespeare sketched from Life; in
GLIDING the vain, vindictive Virgin
Queen herself. and her Inflated cousin
and rival, Mary Queen Of Scots. Charles
Major, in his original novel, sketched
these characters, not from historical
portraits which partial biographers
have drawn Of them, but from various
curious records Of their real lives and
characters; while Paul kester has en-
phaslzed the human side of these great
folk with frequent comedy effort. The
result is said to be a realistic reproduce
ton of life and manners in the golden
age of England. in which humor and
heroics are comminsled according to
the recipe by which Mr.. Kester made
such a dramatic success of Mr.. Majors
earlier novel; when Knighthood Was
in Flower"
The play to be given under the di-
rection Of Charles Frohman at the OPP
era House next Tuesday evening, the
gath instant, with Henry Miller as the
star, will be that OF Joseph Entan-
gled" by Henry Arthur, Jones. Though
the piece Is new to this country, it
comes with the prestige of a success
full run OF nearly two months in New
York. It was first given in London
over a year ago and was, last July,
produced at San Francisco by Mr..
Frohman, for the first time in Ameri-
ca, with Mr.. Miller in the leading male
role, and it is the original American
cast that will be seen here.
1t is seldom one has an opportunity TO
see an entire English music hall entertain-
ment from start TO finish. including a big
Christmas pantomime as a finale. This
is what the Jewels are Offering at the
Garrick this week The little figures that
give this performance are really wonder
ful. They present most all acts known to
vaudeville. from the acrobat to the eques-
trian stunt, ending with a gorgeous
Christmas pantomime, so very popular in
old England. Every move is perfection
and il one did not know that human be-
ings could never be so small it is doubtful
II they would not get the credit of being
alive instead OF dummies. The Jewels
are nine in number, and work the figures
to perfection, and of course TO them be-
longs the credit Of the performance. But
as they are not seen in the acta no one
knows how it is done or who does it,
and there remains the mystery.
They will be at the Garrick all the week,
and everyone should see them, especially
the children. Manager DoclSstader has
never offered anything so pretentious for
the little folks and they should not miss
the opportunity TO enjoy this great act.
Paula Edwardes appeared in "Win-
some Winnie" before a large audience
at the Opera House last night. The opera
was well presented. the chorus was strong
and the scenic effects were elaborate.
In preparing the necessary material for
the production Girl Of the Streets" Lii
liam Mortimer, the author. obtained the
assistance of a member of the detective
force OF New York city. Under the chap
eronage OF this minion Of the law, the
most squalid dens of vice and novels Of
poverty were visited. Places that never
before had opened their doors for inspec-
ton, or had been peered into by the seek
er Of the curious, were made familiar to
Miss Mortimer and have now found their
way to public gaze through this play No
sermon ever written carries with it such
strength. It will be the attraction at the
Lyceum tonight and will continue until
Saturday with daily matinees.
The announcement of the coming Of a
new play usually creates interest among
those who are posted in things theatrical,
and the production Of Hal Reds latest
effort. Alone in the World" at the Ly-
