Metropolitan
Modjeska IL, Repertoire

The farewell appearance of Nine.
Helena Modjeska at the Metropolitan
the latter part of this week is an event
of note. To sit under the spell of the
art and personality of this splendid
actress even under ordinary conditions
is a delight and a privilege. But, here
tofore, when there was fair certainty
that she would return again, there was
none Of the concern, not to say anxiety
and sorrow, which her present coming
her last here-brings with it.
Modieska is one Of those grand
figures Of the stage, like Edwin Booth,
Charlotte Cushman, Ellen Terry, Mary
Anderson and Henry Irving, whose in
telIect, purpose, achievement and life
raised acting into the realm of the fine
arts. and established the theater as one
of the permanent and powerful institu-
lions of modern life. The measure of
her greatness is equal to the measure
of regret at her nearing retirement and
the measure of eagerness to see her IN
her final appearances. How great is the
interest in her good-by tour is proved
by the cities along her route vying with
I one another to make their testimonials
10 her of the warmest nature possible
Her travels thus fan, have been a series
of oyations, expressing affection and
appreciation. Modjeska retires while
at the height Of her power, for it is
said that she never acted with more
sincerity, charm, conviction and intelli
gence than she is doing this year. The

licking Girl, " will present the character
of Schmaltz, the wigmaker, at the
Metropolitan Thursday, Dec. IA. The
engagement is for three nights and
Saturday matinee only, as New York
audiences have held Bernard and "The
Rollicking Girl until the road tour
had to be cut short. Mr.. Bernard comes
at the head Of company Of eighty fun
makers, the chief Of whom is Hattie
Williams, handsome of face, sweet Of
voice and delightful in her comedy
method. She is an able second to Ber-
nard, and has great opportunities in the
role Of nona, the runaway stagezstruck
girl. Manager Charles Frohman has
made a most elaborate production of
this musical play. There are many song
hits.

THE WIRELESS TO
BE MADE EXCLUSIVE

Captain Blom, foremr associate of
Marconi and an officer In the German
navy. who will show Orpheum patrons
this week just how wireless Geographic
messages are sent and received, has
several times during his demonstrations
of the wonderful invention ON the Or
pheum circuit encountered the one im-
perfection in the marvellous discovery.
This imperfection lies in the imp2ssi-
bility of directing the mysterious mes
sage to only one receiving instrument.
Sending a wireless message is like
throwing a stone into pond. 1t starts
sphere of waves which move in a
widening circle in every direction. The
receiving instrument intercepts only
one point in this great circle, but should
there be any other receiving point To-
Gated in it's path, it also takes the mes
sage. Thus, in the recent Russo-Japan-
csc war there were instances Of the in
Perception by the enemy of wireless
messages. In war the objections to this
may be nullified by sending the message
in cipher, but in Captain Blom s dem
onstration, where simple flashes are used
to ring bells, explode mines, ETC., his
regular program has been rendered in
coherent by the interference Of mes
sages being sent from other wireless
| stations, and mysteriously ringing his
bells or setting off his mines at the
wrong time.
81 am glad to learn said Captain
Blom yesterday, that there is no wire
less station in Minneapolis, and that the
performance is certain to go off strictly
according to program here. In Kansas
City the experimenters at the station
had great fun with me, and while the
demonstration was made, 1 think, even
more interesting and graphic by their
interference, it rather put the laugh on
me to have them controlling my appa-
1 ratus from several miles away.
ssThe tuneable wireless instrument,
which can be set so as to prevent such
/ interference from other apparatus will
| soon be perfected, I think, and then
sending wireless messages will be just
| as exclusive as the transmission of those
which follow wire. 1t is a marvellous
discovery, and it's wonder and fascina-
ton increase the longer one is asso-
! ciated with it's demonstration.

Another bright bit, which comes her
aided as one of the neatest things Of
the seasons offerings, is the dramatic
sketch of Charles and Kate Gibson en-
titled "The Burglars Kit This is
said to be clever acting piece with
one Of the :prettiest scenes in latter-day
dramatic compositions. The Gibsons
are well known in the east and "have
arrived SO far as press dispatches 60.
Clifford and Orth, singing and talking
comedians, are billed as the particularly
funny pair and great things are ex-
pected Of them. On the circuit this act
is considered one Of the Az comedy
turns which is worth seeing a second
time.
Walsh and Ligon, in refined musical
act along legitimate lines, Charles s.
Laird in new illustrated songs and bal
lads, and new motion pictures Of ex
ceptional merit, round out the bill.

Orpheum-Modern Vaudeville

The Orpheum theater presents at the
head Of an unusually interesting bill
this week the famous five Parsicoffs,
whose equilibristic pantomime touches
the highest point yet reached on the
gage which registers the wonderful de,
velopment Of this difficult, sensational
and entertaining art. The company
consists of one woman and four men, the
originals in an act which the Orpheum
management announces, was secured
only by the offer Of nearly as many
dollars as they were receiving shillings,
francs and marks on the other side
SO popular were they there. They play
their first western date here this week,
but their reception in the east has been
enthusiastic enough to more than JUS
tify the expense of their importation.
Every year the Orpheum circuit pre-
sents popular and entertaining exposi-
tion Of the wonders Of modern science.
Last year the strange attributes Of
liquid air were demonstrated, and this
season wireless biography was chosen
as the subject of the scientific stunt. =
Minneapolis this week is to see the
strange exhibition Of Captain Blom,
who expounds with graphic experiments
accompanied by simple but thoro ex-
plantations, the wonderful scientific de-
velopment i'm which every one is now
interested. The audience is allowed to
take part in the demonstration by send
ing messages. ringing bells and explod-
ing mines with the unconfned current.

The Boy Behind the Gun

Commencing this afternoon at $3.50
and continuing turnout the week, with
the usual Wednesday and Saturday
matinees, the Bijou will present "The
Boy Behind the Gun,' Harry Clay
Blaney's new war drama. Special an
nouncement is due this attraction, as it
is conceded by all who have seen it to
be one Of the most sumptuously mounted
productions now on the road. Some de-
cidedly pretty stage pictures are shown,
notably the reception rooms of the IA
nous San Francisco Yacht Club; the
Japanese tea gardens at Toxic; the
headquarters Of General Stoessel at Port
Arthur during the recent blockade, and
last but not least, Admiral Togo's flag
ship, from the decks of which he d.
rected the world-stirring battle Of 'tThe
Sea of Japan" .-.- 49,
The presenting company is said to be
one Of general excellence, and is headed
by the popular little comedian, Harry
Clay Blaney, who has appeared here on
numerous occasions as Willie Live,
in "Across the Pacifc.'' The character
Of Willie Live continues on in tThe
Boy Behind the Cum passing thru
many more thGlling adventures where
pluck and courage are the chief stock
in trade. The female contingent Of the
company is headed by the vivacious,
coincidence, Kitty Wolfe, and the big
cast also includes squad of twenty
of the royal guard of Japan, brought to
this country expressly for this produc-
ton; and twenty Geisha girls, who with
songs and dances lend color to some
of the scenes. 49, + - i: !
The play itself deals with the main
incidents Of the recent Japanese-R Rus
sian war, and the author, Charles B.:
Blaney, is said to have given it a most
interesting atmosphere, with inter-
mingled romance, adventure, and thrill
ing escapades. An interesting story is
told, one which holds the auditors thru
\ out. A bright vein of comedy is fur
nished, clever: specialties are introduced,
4 and well executed drills, songs. and
dance numbers are also among the feat
ures. To sum up, it is clean cut, high
class, thoroly modern entertainment, put
together with but one end in view,
namely, to instruct and amuse the pub
lie, which is constantly craving for
meritorious attractions.
