We desire to place in the hands of
those afflicted with Brights Disease
and Diabetes 3o-page pamphlet that
is saving human life. 1t is not an or
binary pamphlet, such as is commonly
used to advertise medicines, but is
principally made up of reports of
scientifically conducted tests in large
variety Of cases, showing 81 per cent
of recoveres in these hitherto incurable
diseases.
The specifics employed in these tests
are known as the Fulton Compounds
cluslvely that these dreaded diseases
so long fatal (the deaths alone from
Brights Disease are appalling, over
1O0,0 900 a year, starting as kidney
troubles) have at last yielded to medi-
cal science. The phamphlet is free.

When to suspect Brights Disease
Puffy ankles or hands; weakness with
out apparent cause, kidney trouble

give this delightful little book deserv-
ing consideration. it will be pleasing to
note that Creston Clarke and wholly
capable organization of prominent
players will present the adaptation
made from this story by the author
himself, assisted by Evelyn Greenleaf
Sutherland, at the Metropolitan opera
house for three nights and Saturday
matinee, starting next Thursday night.
1t was Richard Mansfield who first
gave us the privilege of passing upon
the merits of this charming story in
play form and to him we were indebted
for most delightful performance IT
will be pleasantly remembered that the
large and fashionable audience assem-
bed on that occasion found in this
most delightful story such elements of
romantic strength and dramatic pur-
pose that the dramatiZation proved, If
anything, even more absorbing than
the book.
Now comes Creston Clarke, an actor
who while not unknown to fame, is a
stranger to our local amusement con-
stituency, inasmuch as he has never
before appeared here as star. This is
not Mr.. Clarke's first starring venture,
for in the intervals when not engaged
as leading support to other stage
dignitaries, he has won for himself no
end of specially favorable commenda-
ton for his Interpretation of Ham
let" David Garrick," Don Caesar
and number of other characters. 1t
is not eXaggerating to say that the
consensus of dramatic criticism has
paid the high tributes to Mr.. Clarke's
impersonation of the melancholy Dane.
Many have gone so far as TO emphasize
their belief that Mr.. Clarke is abso-
lUtely the best Hamlet since the days
of his uncle, the lamented Edwin
Booth.
As Beaucaire, Mr.. Clarke has all the
advantages of a splendid French edu-
cation and the possession of those tenn
peramental qualities of acting that
give him the widest possible scope in
order TO do full justice to Tarkington's
dashing hero. Judging from authenti-
Gated newspaper reports, Mr. Clarke
has made an unqualified hit in this par
ticular character
The company supporting Mr.. Clarke
includes Miss Agnes Ardeck, who was
the original Molly Wood of The Vir-
ginian," in support of Dustin Farnum
during the memorable run of that play
at the Manhattan theater in New York
city, and Blanche Motion, who-will be
recalled for her commendable work
with the late Fanny Davenport, and
with Viola Allen, while among the
others more or less prominent are
Frank Macdonald, Mabel Van Buran,
Clara Fisher, Roy Clements. Edwin
Lester, Lynda Earl, Harry Forbs.

1t is, indeed, a tremendous undertaking
to get a first play produced. So many
are written, so few are put on. An
English playwright, with a gift of hu-
morous exaggeration, illustrated this
fact once. He told me he submitted a
comedy to a celebrated actor, and how,
in the course of the conversation, the
actor said:
Don't you think the room is rather
cold?"

playwright.

THE PERENNIAL LILLIAN

The constant discussion of ages has
aroused Lillian Russell, and she is out
telling stage secrets, says Philander
Johnson in the Washington Star.
Prima donnas are not noted for pa
tience. nor professional beauties distin-
guished for foTbearance. Miss Russell
is tired of having her age talked about,
and since she has become a star in
Lady TeaZle" in which Richard
Brinsley Sheridan figures as the pas

John Kendrick Bangs, she has begun
to sit up and take notice. She scans
the horizon and bids the faithful press

NANCE O'NEIL

1t was a much abridged and trans
posed version of Macbeth" that Miss
O'Neill and her company acted last
night at the Grand opera house, says
the New York Globe. 1t spared the
thane and his wife, but ii left little
else. The stage management was
coarse and unillusive. To keep Mac
beth and Lady Macbeth in the steady
glare Of a white light seemed it's chief
aim. The acting of the company was
sometimes mediocre, oftener worse.
Only Mr.. Dalton, who played Macbeth.
brought much intelligence to his part.
And Miss O'Neill was her familiar self.
There were moments in the sleep walk
ing scene, and in the scene in the cas-
tie hall when she dispatches Macbeth
TO do the murder. in which she showed
the promise and almost achievement of
great actress of tragedy.
The next, she was all hammered and
perverse unintelligence. She waved her
arms as though they were the one
means of persuasion that she could use
upon her lord. She fronted him in
that peculiar pose of hers till her back
must have ached. She spoke verse
after verse with exactly the wrong
emphasis. Then the tragic power
flashed again, direct, vivid, unmistak-
able. 1t is one of the rarest of powers,
and day after day, she lets. herself mar

GERMAN DRAMATIC COMPANY

May to 10 the Milwaukee German
Dramatic company will give a number
OF performances in the Metropolitan
opera house. The company is COM
posed of the best German talent on the
American stage, and the visit of these
German actors will be especially en-
joyable in connection with the COM
memoration of the Tooth anniversary
of the death of the poet Schiller, be-
ing celebrated in those days.
Schiller's greatest drama, Wilhelm
Tell a creation of the highest beauty
and dramatic power, has been selected
as the most fitting representation of
the immemorial genius of the great
dramatist
This memorial presentation will be
given on the evening of May 9. No
pains have been spared to make this
occasion the best ever presented in
this city. In order to represent times
and manners in a realistic way we'll
known stage artists have been en-
ployed to design entirely new scenery
and costumes. The famous mountains
of Switzerland where the action is
laid ARE faithfully portrayed.
The principal roles are in the hands
of the same actors who presented
Wilhelm Tell" in the Auditorium in
Chicago and achieved a great success.
Tuesday matinee will show Schiller
himself in his youth. The perform
ance will be opened by prologue fit

BY VIOLA ALLEN

1t Is generally supposed that the sue
cess of a performance depends upon
the actor, author and manager. This
statement is true in a measure, yet
one of the most important considera-
tionS has been overlooked-an appre-
ciative and generous audience.
The truth of this assertion will be
readily understood by those who have
attended a rehearsal, when there is
naught save empty seats confronting
the players. 1t matters not how en-
trancing, stirring and captivating a
play may be, at rehearsal il ever ap-
pears dull and spiritless. But fill the
seats with kindly auditors who cor
daily participate in the actors efforts,
and a metamorphosis occurs which
may be likened to the call of spring to
buried flowers. Interest and animation
fill the scene. and the performers are
thrilled with energy and exhiliration.
That which at rehearsal was a spirit
less, dumb show all at once bursts into
life and activity.
Appreciation is the parent of achieve
ment. Those audiences see the best
acting which encourage the actor by
hearty. genial and merited approba-
tion. The effect is magical. On the
other hand, a cold house chills the cur
rent of the actors art. dulls achieve
ment and causes it to sink into a flat
ness when it would otherwise appear
spontaneous and electrical. Charles
Matthews was once so disconnected
with melancholy face in the audience
that he was obliged to. advance and
address the gentleman, at the same
time giving him one of his most COM
lcal looks: Il beg your pardon, sir,
but If you don't laugh 1 can't go on"
This sally was received by the audi
ence with such roars that the uncon-
sciously offending auditor throughout
the evening laughed louder than any
one else.-Chicago Inter Ocean.

THE STAR

T. w Dinkins' Utopian Burlesque
company will be seen at the Star for
one week, starting at Sundays mat

ferent programme, away from the us
ual run of those seen under the title of
burlesque. The company engaged for
the present tour is very strong one,
and embraces many favorites in the
vaudeville line. The comedy end of the
programme is in the hands of clever
comedians like Valmore and Horton,
the Boston comedy four, Joe Madden.
John w. Jess, F,redo and Dare and Miss
Mildred Stoller, a young and talented
singer, who, il is said, is the best dress
ed woman on the American stage and

her songs as we'll as costumes, will
prove a pleasing> depression from the
usual singing acts seen in theaterS.
Two new burlesques, entitled Broke

are fond of the humorous side. Special
performances for ladies will be given

Local complaint is frequently heard

rests with the management of the at

there is little in this argument as an
excuse for poor attendance, as of the

theater goers have not wanted to see
the shows offered here this season.
The reader is as competent to tell the
reason why as the writer. That is, to
say whether this apathy is due to lack
or money, disposition, information or
appreciation. Perhaps it is only a case
OF ind1sposition. Let us hope the all

BIGGEST OF CIVIL WAR DRAMAS

There is war drama at the Hippo
drome, too, and on the opening night
1t was called "AndersonvilIe a Story
Of Wilson's Raiders but at the first
repetition the title had been shortened
to The Raiders" and a representation
of the horrors of the military prison at
Andersonville had been eliminated,
says the Cincinnati EnQuirer's New
York correspondent. Half an hour had
TO be cut out of the programme some
where, anyway, in order to get through
before midnight, and an offensive er-
ror had been made by the needless ap-
peal TO north against south rancor. The
war has been over these forty years
and Dixie" gets quicker applause in
New York than Yankee Doodle" This
bigger than all the previous civil war
dramas combined begins at West Point
with dress parade by cadets, in the
presence of many spectators, and a
separation of officers for the opposed
armies. Thence the scene shifts to the
battle of Rocky Ford. Here a novelty
OF the stage is operated in sight of the
audience. An oval section of the floor
sinks slowly eight feet into a reservoir
of water, the edges of which are set
with rocks and bushes, with a bridge
behind and a landscape in the distance.
When all is ready a battle is enacted.
Infantry in blue and gray charge across
the bridge and back. Artillery dashes in
with horse drawn Cannon, which are
discharged with booms that almost si-
lence the volleys of musketry. Finally
there is a cavalry charge. Twenty rid
ers dash up to the bank of the stream,
plunge their horses into the water,
swim them across, leap them out on
the opposite bank and disappear into
the woods in pursuit of the fleeing en-
emy. SO there you are, with war

@ HE regular dramatic season which
~ has but another month to run

forded great encouragement to
purveyors of worthy plays and players
to bring them to ST. Paul. During the
thirty-five weeks that have elapsed
since the opening Of the season, only
two of the sixty or more attractions
that played at this house filled it for
engagements of three nights.
This is a sad commentary upon the
disposition of st. Paulites to support
the drama in it's worthier form. For it
cannot be denied that many excellent
plays and admirable players have oc-
cupied the boards of the Metropolitan
during the past seven months.
Perhaps the apathy of st. Paul people
towards the theater may be dismissed
with the mere assertion that st. Paul
is a poor show town." and no eXpla-
snation need be attempted. Neverthe-
less its persistent refusal to literally
patronize attractions of extraordinary
merit cannot be attributed to lack Of
private means on the part of its citi
Zens, many of whom are richly endow-
ed with this worlds goods Must we
then conclude that lack of taste or edu-
cation in matters dramatic and theatric
is responsible? That would be an un-
pleasant, if not an unjust inference.
Lack of confidence in the merit of
coming attraction is sometimes pleaded
as an excuse for failure TO attend an
opening performance. An incident re-
Gently at hand illustrates this.
Noting with surprise the pitifully
sparse attendance upon the admirable
performances of Mistress Nell" given
by that exquisite actress, Henrietta
Crosman, a few weeks ago, the writer
spoke of it to cultured legal light of
the city wont to attend theatrical per-
formances This is why he didn't go:
Il was afraid" he said, "of the play.
suspect these thee and thou, dost
and wouldst dramas"
Perhaps others shared this gentle
mans suspicious, but those so fortu-
nate as to witness this particular play
know how undeServed such suspicious
were, and remember gratefully the
keen pleasure afforded by Miss Cros-
mans finished acting.
Moreover the play was presented
here five times that week, and was
accorded unstinted praise by all the
local newspapers, if that is any cri-
terion, though some have been known
to damn a highly meritorious produc-
ton with faint praise.
