are so forcibly presented in "The
Clansman. The educational discus
sion Of the play has hit each southern
city like, "a cloudburst. 1t has now be-
come "a northeastern that is sweeping
over the entire country.
Another remarkable feature of the
tour of "The Clansman' has been the
size Of the audiences. In every city
and ait every performance standing
room has been at a premium, and hun.
dreds of people have been turned away
The enthusiasm Of the audiences breaks
all bounds and reminds one of mighty
mass meeting of the people. It is safe
| to say that such scenes have never been
| witnessed in a theater since the first
| production of "Unc1e Toms Cabin.'
Only a play of tremendous force and
power could produce such results. Only
play that is different from every other
| play, one that blazes new pathway,
and deals with momentous problems,
could so arouse a people. Such play
will live for years.
"The Clansman' will be presented
in this city at the Metropolitan opera
house for the first time next Thursday
night, to continue the remainder Of the

BIJOU-
"Rufus Rastus." "

Ragtime music, ragtime steps, rag
time lyrics and ragtime fun are the pre-
dominating features Of Hurtig & Sea-
mon s big musical comedy production,
entitled "Rufus Rastus, - which opens
at the Bijou today for a week s en-
gagement, with Ernest Hogan, the IA
nous comediap and song-writer, as
tanning has given him a wide reputa-
ton, and the very fact that this at
traction has been playing to practically
capacity business wherever presented,
is ample proof that Hurtig & Seamon
have struck the right kind Of vehicle
in which the star is enabled to show
his clever ability to the fullest extent.
A coon show thruout, Rufus Ras-
tus'' offers a treat to all those who APP
preciate the unique style of entertain
ment which is offered in a negro spec
tacle of this kind. There are at least
twenty song hits, sixteen dancing fea-
lures and numerous other surprises. The
setting and costuming is in keeping
with the whole, and all in all it is
probably the most pretentious colored
organization touring the country. The
plot is on the same lines as those gen
orally introduced in musical comedies.
It, offers complications, funny situa-
tions and an abundance of hilarity and
gayety. Hogan assumes the title role
of Rufus Rastus,'' that Of a typical
southern negro with a penchant for
getting into ludicrous situations. He
is stranded with an "Uncle Tom g
Cabin" show at st. Augustine, Fla
There the Ponce de Leon hotel and
gardens are shown with great effect,
as is also the Mississippi river levee
and big steamboat in operation.
From there the scene of action is
moved to Madison Square garden,
New York, on the night of ragtime
masque ball. Fn the metropolis, Rufus
suddenly becomes lucky, and he be-
comes prominent figure in coon
town" society. The scenic equipment
and costumes are thoroly up-to-date,
and the entire outfit is complete in
every detail. Of course, there are
plenty of girls-splendid types Of Gre
oles and mulattoes, to be seen in the
ensembles and musical numbers. The en-,
tertainment is purely for fun purposes
of the wholesome variety and it is said
to be unexcelled in it's particular line.
The engagement will include the usual
Wednesday and Saturday matinees. The
souvenir feature inaugurated in con.
nection with the midweek matinees con
tinues to take well and attract large
audiences, and the lady patrons of this
theater are evidently well pleased with
the innovation. Handsome and useful
souvenirs will be presented at the
4 Wednesday matinee of the Rufus
Rastus company.

Lyceum theater is now so thoroly en-
trenched in public favor that the man
agement feels warranted in making
every sacrifice Of time or money to Sc
cure the best attractions in the world
of theatricals. The splendid series of
"book Plays with which the Ly-
ceum's clientele has lately been re-
productions which will hold the boards
at this theater.
For this week, Mr.. Stuart offers his
drama in 'Men and Women,' by Da-
vid Belasco and Henry G. De Mile.
This play has merit Of high order.
Produced more than dozen years ago,
at time when the art of playwriting
had fallen into disuse in this country,
! it met with instant favor. It is care
fully wrought play. There are no rough
places. Its comedy is exquisite, gen
inc and sincere.
nMen and Women is also one of
the few plays which has dealt sanely
with a business crime-the robbery of
bank by a trusted cashier in this in
stance Dramatists, as a rule, write
with an eye single to theatrical effects
without regard to the truth. The scenes
lin this play are as true as carefully
selected e1acCS can make CneHl. IHefS
is the specializing cashier and his pal,
the high-living young broker. There
is his sweetheart, his honorable family,
his trusted employees. There are the
bank directors holding "a secret meet
ing to discover the thief who has peck
eted valuable securities. There is the
patient, loving young woman, seeing
thru her false lovers sham with a
woman's quick discernment, and there
is his silent confession.
There are many strong passages in
HMen and Women" and touches of
humor so skilfully injected that they
90 straight to the heart. A notable
instance is the clustering, kindly old
gentleman whose strong, sturdy COM
mon sense and natural goodness of
heart impels him to be kind when the
bank directors are sitting stif-necked
in Judgment on the accused.
The play will receive a most ade-
quate representation at the hands of
Ralph Stuart and his excellent compa.
4 ny, and will be one of the dramatic
events of the season.

Mrs. Leslie Carter.

Mrs. Leslie Carter is coming to Min

OF spirit and splendid vitality which
has won admiration year after year.
According to William Winter, in the
New York Tribune, Alan Dale in the

magnificent London Drury Lane spec
tacle, ''The Sleeping Beauty and the
Beast, - will open at the metropolitan

be given in this city, including the~mat-
inee Wednesday,.
,"The Sleeping Beauty and the
Beast relates a fairy story, illustrat
ing the ultimate triumph of light over
darkness, or, in other words, OF good
over evil. The plot follows the famous
old nursery tale for which it is named,
introducing fairies, the princess, the
prince, royal personages and the horrid
old witch.
Beast was originally produced in Lon
don at the famous old Drury Lane the
alter, which is noted the world over for
its costly and elaborate spectacular pro-
auctions, especially in the holiday sea-
son. This great spectacle was gen
orally conceded to be the grandest, as
well as the most gorgeous that has ever
been witnessed in that theater. The
complete production was imported to
America by Messrs. Klaw and Erlanger,
who, after having the book American

the wonderful business done in each
