'tMarching Thru Georgia

3 - Marching Thru Georgia, = = a military
romance by Daniel u. Hart. is the at
traction at the Bijou this week. This
new war play is one of the successes of
the season. The entire play is far above
the average melodramatic offering and
is beautiful scenic production. The
piece is founded on General Sherman 8
historic march to the sea. s,
Colonel William Warren, a young
northern officer on the staff of General
Sherman, succeeds in saving the home
Of Virgie Leland, daughter of the
south, whose afather is confederate
general. Colonel Warren is shortly
afterwards wounded and captured by
the confederates. Miss Leland, pro
foundly grateful, nurses him back to
health under her own roof. Colonel
Warren is placed on parole and during
his convalescence he and Miss Leland
beome greatly infatuated with each
other. The overseer, in a fit of jealousy
shoots Colonel Warren, who falls in the
arms Of Virgie, and the colonel, be.
lieving his injury to be fatal, confesses
to having killed her father in battle.
Her love for the colonel turns at once
to intense hatred. One of Colonel War

him, but the colonel refused to SO OF

AFTER 100 YEARS
A Great Great Grandson Receives Gilt
of Part of Money Won from France.
.. .-r Chicaoo Tournal

Master Bernard Newman. the great
great-grandson of a hero of the war of
1872, received a unique present Tues
day as the result of the elimination Of
lawsuit begun by his llustrious an
cestor over 100 years ago. A suit
against the French government begun
in 1896 by Colonel Thomas Starrett OF
Warren, Me-, has just been settled, and
Mrs. +. E. Newman, 1888 Arlington
avenue, a granddaughter of the colonel,
received $10.35 as her share, which she
placed in the bank of her grandsoa
as a result of d promise, often iokingly
made, that he should have the. estate"
some day. In this way the fourth gen.
Grafton will reap the harvest from the
original suit. +
The suit was started by Colonel Star
rett in an attempt to recover damages
for loss to his schooner Speedwel,
which was captured twice during the
troublous times preceding the war with
England-once by French privateers
and another time by French man-of-
war. Thru long years of litigation the
suit dragged in the courts, first ending
in a decision for the plaintiff, then
against him, until after 109 years OF
court expenses and lawyers fees final
Judgment was awarded the plaintiff SIX
ty years after he was dead, and twenty
checks were sent out to his heirs, none
of which had ever seen him.
Mrs. Newman is the. only Chicago

at Wallack s theater, New York. J. A.
Raynes has written new music for this
seasons tour and the book has been en-
tirely rewritten by Mr.. AIDE, and sew
eral new songs added. The action takes
place in Hickory Creek, ILL.,, and the
stage of the Paragon theater, Chicago,
and is filled with many funny incidents.
AIDE has given us characters we know
and see in every day fife. This is one
Of the reasons why his works have had
such remarkable success. With DEACON
are the following people from the Stude-
baker theater: Julia West, who will be
seen as Peggy Aaummer; Clara Martin
as Lutte Plummer;. e. H. O'Connor as
Captain Alonzo Plummer, Eva Bennett
as Lily Ann Lynch, Minnie Clton as
Mrs. Montague Fish, and Olivette
Haynes as the German maid, Sophie
Blotz. DEACON will sing several new
songs, among which are tSLil, My
Easter Lily" and "The Noble Jani-
toro." One Of the distinct hits is
"Henny,' sung by Sophie 1Blotz. This
will have the accompaniment of the bas-
soon, and is one Of the funniest songs
ever heard. Assisting the company is
the prettiest singing and dancing chorus
imaginable. New musical numbers are
"The Advertising Dream by AIDE and
Raynes, "Helena from Helena by
Raynes, "The Gay Soubrette" by
Ray Tyres, and a pretty melange Of the
songs Of long ago.

George Ade--which means about every
body.
In presenting the sketch Mr.. Lennox
has the part of "busted' horseman
who lands in Chicago and is very anx-
ious to get back to New York and
Broadway. All he Graves in Chicago is
the s25 necessary to get him back to
"dear old New York.
The girl in the sketch asks of him the
natural question: but what will you
do when you get there?'
To which he replies:
"What does anyone do on Broadway
Ny dear girl, Broadway is the headquar-
ters of Hope You may be busted your

with so much money that you immedi

"But you keep on hoping.

Metropolitan
SSulfdn of Suzu'

= "The Sultan Of Sulu,' which will be
seen at the Metropolitan the half week
commencing tonight, is by George AIDE
of HFables in Slang' fame, and the
music by Alfred G. R. Wathall. It
comes heralded as huge success, hav-
/ ing made phenomenal runs in New York
and Chicago. The plot is not so improb-
able as that on which the general run
of musical comedies are based. It differs
in the possession of distinct subject Of
contemporaneous interest humorously
treated in Mr.. AIDES brilliantly satirical
and quantity original style.
The theme is suggested by the Ameri-
can occupation of Sulu and the ''ben'ev
olent assimilation Of it's polygamous
ruler, who early learns that 'the 'con-
stitution and the cocktail follow the
flag.'. The island potentate, with many
wives, accepts the sovereignty Of the
United States and takes the title of
governor, under the tutelage Of vol
unteer colonel from Arkansas. A strong
minded maiden lady who arrives with
the American invaders is appointed
Judge advocate. She insists upon di-
vorcing the sultan from all his wives
but one, "the charter member of his
harem. . The Judge advocate also ,exacts
alimony at the rate Of half the gov.
ernor's salary for each Of the seven di
vorced wives, and upon his failure t,
4 comply with this impossible decision the
unhappy ruler is plunged into jail. d
The United States soldiers fall in love
with the fair divorces and their pas
sion is reciprocated. A quartet Of New
England school teachers. are introduced
TO enlighten the benighted natives
These the merry monarch proposes te
add to his harem, but the judge advo
cate upsets the calculations of the comic
potentate. There are many amusing
complications before affairs are finall,

distorted so as to admit Of every ONT
being made happy when the curtain de

ton Of Fred Lennox, the comedian
who, with his supporting company, will

vaudeville sketch at. the Orpheum this
week. AIDE once remarked: Z" Fred has
played the horses for twenty years and
the only way for Fred ever to own a
horse will be to write a sketch around
one." The story is therefore that Of
a one time prosperous horseman who has
gone, broke and who finds himself in
Chicago with nothing but the clothes on
his back and a hungering desire to get
back to Broadway. This latter ambi
tion is finally satisfied by marriage to a
susceptible stsociety queen and they
live happily ever after. AIDE has fairly
taken the lid from his storage house of

nearest to- one of his famous s II Fables
