Florence Roberts.

Until this season. Florence Roberts, the most popular emotional actress of the west, has never made a tour of the south and east. Her reputation on the Pacific coast. where she has been starring for the last four or five years, has been made in the portrayals of such roles as 'Zaza." "Magda," 'Tess of the D'Urber- villes," and Marta of the Lowlands. This season she enters upon a new re- gime of her career which will provide q new play each season and will also in troduce her as a star Tn New York this winter with the same company, headed by Max Figman, the well known comed ian, who will appear here.
 Ann La Mont" the modern problem play by Paul Armstrong. author of "The Heir to the Hoorah," is the play in which Miss Roberts will be seen at the Jeffer- son theatre tomorrow afternoon and night. The title role of Ann La Mont" is said to provide an excellent opportunity to display the emotional sfility of the star. The piece is described as a tale of love. artists and Bohemia The locales are placed in New York, London and Hawaii and the characters are all said to be the real types to be found in the Bohe- milan circles of the great English speak ing centers

"The RunaWays."

When "The Runaways" is seen at te Jefferson theatre next Tuesday it V show George Evans. The Honey Boy. in the leading role. As Butch the jocke, Evans is conveniently cast. It takes jus such a part as this to bring out all tina is funny in "The Honey Boy" and Il the same time it Is only a comedian like Evans that can play the part as IL should ed for MT. Evans.
 There are some comedians who get as much pleasure out of amusing others as their audience does. Among the perform CTS of this variety is George Evans His humor is of the unctious, contagious va- riety and people who are on the stag with him can with difficulty control al outbreak of laughter which threatens disaster to a performance. It gives him real delight to please others and his one object on the stage is to create fun when ever the opportunity presents itself. In behalf of MT. Evans, it cannot be said that he is comedian of the boxing glove kind He is an exponent of the idea that it Is not necessary to stick religiously to the lines of the play and if he sees chance to say something original he is quick to take advantage of it.
 The production of "The Runawaysp which has MT. Evans the star, is the one seen at the New York Casino. With a large chorus. over two-score of sweet and catchy songs. rich costuming, hand some scenic embellishments and electrical effects the production is meeting with favor this season.

models employed by Leon Richmond, a successful illustrator and fellow artist. The two are thrown together often and the inevitable occurs. Ann falls in love with another man, whom she really loves and endeavors to convince Richmond of her reformation and atonement He will not believe that she is lost to him and Ann will not marry the man of her final choice until she convinces the other one that she is beyond him. This is the cen tral theme.
 The play has the unmistakable throb of human life. There is nothing cynical, but the lines, instead, are permeated with that optimism which seems to be a part of Paul Armstrongs artistic creed. The characters are natural and lead through splendid dramatic situations to perfectly natural denouement. Besides MT. Figman, who interprets the role of an impression able art student, the company comprises

tuas amorous love songs, sighed with lection in florid cadenzas, pitied the poor humpbacked Rigoletto himself in his suf- fering because of his daughters be- trayal and shivered at the cold booded Sparafucile's murderous work while Wag- ner struggled in poverty buffeted by fate and exiled from his native land.
 "Rigoletto" takes one back to the days of romance and chivalry, of court intri- gues, of beautiful maidens confined in cas- ties awaiting release by the prince of their dreams. It was the atmosphere of polite conduct of sword wearing knights and handsome women that inspired Verdi to his brilliant orchestration for "Rigoletto" rather than the heart of the tragedy with all it's cruelty. Years later in his Aida" "Othello, and "Falstaff'' he wrote music descriptive of the real dramatic episodes of his opera rather than a flmy network of musical lace with which to decorate it. Yet the popularity of "Rigoletto'' is probably due to this very superficial nature of the charming arias, powerful duets and simple, old fash toned accompaniment found in the orches- tral score. All classes of theatregoers revel in it. On "Rigoletto" nights at the opera in New Orleans, New York or Lon don there is crush of music lovers to the back of the top gallery
 MT Savage has added no work to his English repertory in recent years that contains a stronger appeal for universal favor. The coming production will be un- der the musical direction of the Chevalier Emanuel and will be sung by cast espe- cially chosen from his corps of artists with this years organization.

Courtahip In New GuiAea.

Courtship in New Guinea is begun
on very different lines from those Of
the Caucasian. 1t is the girl who
takes the Initiative instead Of the
youth. When a young man falls in
love with {apuan belle he does not
look at her and whenever possible
shuns her company. If she appears
grieved at such Sights the suitor per-
forms various acrsbatic feats when
ever he thinks she is watching. He
will leap into the air, stand on his
head or knock down some smaller
youth. Should the girl be fascinated
by these performances she employs a
little girl to carry a nut to her lover,
and on the nut she will paint certain
emblems Indicative of her passion. The
nut will also tell where she will meet
him that night. At this trysting place
the two will eat the nut together and
make such arrangements as are nee
essary for the marriage. All the diff
culties of proposing on the European
or American plan are done away with
in New Guinea.

land OF gay costumes, crumbling
churches and old converts; land of
kindly greetings, OF extreme courtesy, Of
open, broad hospitality. 1t WAS more
than enough to revel in an Italian sun,
lighting up semi tropical land; to look
up to white capped peaks, towering into

mountains, and to realize that today, in
its varied scenery, costumes, architc-

flower laden boats, market plazas
thronged with gaily dressed natives,

WHAT WATSON SAID
Shows BE was Opposed to Clos
ing Streets.

To forever silence the wagging
tongues that for some reason or other
have desired to cast aspersion upon
the name of Mayor Watson in con-
nection with the talk of closing up
certain streets of the city for the
benefit Of the Union Pacific railway a
statement is made here. The state
ment is part of an article prepared
by Henry L. West, president OF
Union colony, who has been In cor
respondence with the railroad offic-
ials in regard to the disputed strip
or land east of the railroad track.
For lack of space the article could
not be used in its entirety. AL the
conference held between the railroad
men. the mayor in the latter'S office
last Thursday morning, and before
the council men were called in, Mr..
West was present, and this is what
he says of this meeting:
LAS regards Mayor Watson ad-
vocacy OF the closing of streets, the
fact is that when Mr.. Dorsey set forth
the desires OF the railroad company,
his answer was. Gentlemen, there Is
no use talking further; the Union
Pacific railroad company hasn't
money enough to buy this. Still you
can bring the matter before the
council by petition, setting forth
what you desire, and we will see what
it will do
81 further desire to say that while
with the aldermen at this conference
suggested if they did vacate any
street, that it would be best to do
it for specified time only, one, two
or three years, so that the city could
reopen them without trouble. should
the closing of them be found unwise.
II further desire to say that at
this conference none Of the alder
men present advocated the vacating
or the closing of any OF the city
streets, which are now open."
