one Of the funniest farcical concelts
ever presented on the burlesque circuit;
The piece has a strong plot and is full
Of funny complications and laughable

densed form, if elaborated. to make a
splendid three-act piece. The skit will

est of Sardou's emotional dramas. and
the many requests for its repetition,
determined Mr.. Ferris to give another
week to the play, producing it upon
more elaborate scale than before.
Miss Stones fine talent, intense tenn
permanent and exceptional training in
emotional acting combine to make her
portrayal Of Cleopatra a performance
long to be remembered She first
played it with Melbourne Mcdowell,
when, after the death of Fanny Daven-
port, she took that great actress place
in the Mcdowell forces and played the
Sardou roles turnout the United States.
In spite Of the comparison which Miss
Stone invited by taking the place left
was notable, and in the delineation of
Sardou g women she is unsurpassed.
Miss Stone is the fortunate possessor Of
Fanny Davenport IS wonderful collec-
ton of stage Jewels, including those
worn in the original performance of
Cleopatra These jewels, and a
number of Miss Davenport's marvel
lous costumes will be worn by Miss
Stone next week.
Frank Monroe, new leading man Of
the Ferris stock company, will play
Marc Antony, giving Minneapolis play
goers a chance to see this versatile ac-
tor in role entirely different from
those he. has essayed since joining the
Ferris forces. Mr.. Monroe g concep-
ton of this classic historical part is
awaited with no little interest.
The strong and picturesque, role OF
Kephran, Cleopatra s >devoted slave,
will be in the capable hands of Law
renee Grattan, whose first appearance
in the Ferris company as Hugh Butter
worth in Lord Chumleyv ATTRACTED
such favorable attention. Cleopatra"
will be gorgeously staged, with elabo-
rate mechanical and lighting effects.
Dewey" The Blue Ribbon Girls
Nothing in the burlesque line seen
in this city has surpassed the entertain
ment to be given by. the blue Ribbon
Girls, at the Dewey theater next
week. This organization was consid-
|ered last year to be in the front rank
of the burlesque companies that aim to
make life free from care. The mana
gers everywhere spoke in the highest
praise, and it never did anything but
draw crowded houses and win eopions

darkened as, once the conductor is in
his chair, the doors will be closed.
" Parsifal' is of such character that
the comfort of those already seated
must be the main consideration.
The character of the music drama
also leads to another regulation. The
audience will be requested to refrain
from applause. The request is almost
superffuous, as the fall Of the curtain
on the first and last acts will find every
one in such mood as follows the wit
Messing Of a beautiful ceremony in a
cathedral. The latter half of the Sec
ond aet-with it's flower. maidens scene,
the great scene between ,Parsifal and
Kundry and the. startling transforma-
tion-might legitimately call for ap-
plause, but even here it is deprecated.
Under no circumstances will the curtain
be raised. nor will the artists make
acknowledgements. =,

A Voice " .'. Miss WicEham
These casts are as evenly balanced
as possible and neither is advanced as
yided in it's comparisons. A German
Parsifal sings with an English KundrY
and an American Parsifal sings with a
German Kundry.
In the opening cast the name of Put
nam Griswold will be found. Mime
apolis should take friendly interest in
him, as he was born here; He began
Rhys-Herbert, and continued it abroad
under Randegger. Of London, Bouhy Of
Paris and Stockhausen Of; Frankfort.
He was principal basso Of the Frank
fort opera when Mr.. Savage engaged
him. ~
There are two large choruses, those
Of the flower maidens and grail knights,
which are the pick Of hundreds Of APP
plicants. The great number Of young
women who competed made it possible
not only to secure the best and freshest
voices, but personal charms as we'll,
making the chorus truly one of sirens.
The public has long since ceased to ex-
pect good looks in grand opera chorus
es but this one is decidedly sttr4stiye
fal in Klingsor's magic garden.
The orchestra, numbering sixty, was
selected by the general technical di-
rector, Walter H. Rothwell, and had
three weeks of rehearsal under his mas
terful baton. AS these musicians have
played nothing else. but the "Parsifal -
score all season they have been able to
attain remarkable precision: '-'v~ '.1
The production has already been
treated in detail in T he Journal. 1t
may be reiterated that 'sParsifal' de-
mands majesty in it's scenery and pic
lures and SURPRISING effects in lighting.
In these particulars it is claimed for
the Savage production that it is the SUI,

Dear Sir: You'd strike 1t rich II
YOU could find way to shave your
customers In less time, for less cost,
and make the shave last twice or

You wouldn't shave the same per-

be talking about you, and everybody
would come to you for shave.
