At the
Other End
BY CLAUDE PAMARES

Mr.. Felix Bradbury sat in the smok-
cigar. Last week he was Mr. James
Taylor; the week before that he was
Mr. Hiram Brown. Mr.. Felix Brad
bury changed his name and his habita-
ton as often as he thought the police
had discovered him.
Sometimes they hustled him around
pretty lively, and again they let him
rest and take on flesh. This was one of
his resting spells, and yet he was not
quite happy. His funds were at a low
ebb, his partner was in Sing Sing on a
ten year sentence, and nothing in his
line seemed to turn up.
Mr.. Bradbury's speciality was crack
ing cribs. With him crib meant any
thing with a roof on it-dwelling, store
bank or warehouse. He was also a
fair hand at the confidence game and
had been known to rob half a dozen
guests of a hotel the same evening
Taken all in ALL he was a good al
round man, and it wasn't his fault that
luck was against him. Even If his
money was low he was making a bis
bluff by dressing well and ordering the
best the menu afforded. Mr.. Bradbury
was wondering how much the next Gle
tectiwe who arrested him would de
mand for letting h$an go again wher
one of the bell boys suddenly appeared
and said:
You are wanted at the telephone
sir"
The gentleman of the Jimmy gave {
start Of surprise and then proceeded Il
the instrument in the next room. Few
knew of his presence IN the city, and
they would hardly chance calling hin
up over the wire. The problem was
soon solved, however. IN answer to hii

I've been trying for half an hour Arr
you coming home this EVENING""

ply Of Mr.. Bradbury, who instantly

BEN-HuR OPENS TONIGHT.

Preparations for vastly greater
'Ben-Hur" than that which was pre-
scented to the Chicago public in the
Auditorium theater some twenty
months ago have been under way for
some time past. The resulting pro-
duction will be revealed tonight in
that playhouse and the performance
will mark the beginning of the seven
teenth week and the one hundred and
thirty seventh enactment OF the Wal
lace romance in this city. Ben Eur"
as arranged and staged by the IIlaw &
Erlanger company is marvellous piece
OF stagecraft and no theater in America
furnishes such opportunities for a col
ossal presentation as does the Chicago
auditorium. The city of Jerusalem
the interior Of the Roman gallery. the
raft OF Ben Hur buffeted by the angry
waves in mid ocean and the rescue are
all strangely realistic. The tent of the
Arabian shiek Ilderim glows with bar
barrie splendor and the scene on the
oon-lit lake in the orchard Of palms.
where the beautiful Iras reclines in
her barge and drifts down the silvery
waters are beautiful spectacles.
The scene of all scenes however. is
the miracle on the Mount of olives
with which the performance termin-
ates. It shows the reunion of the
prince of Hur with his mother and sis
ter after the passing of Christ
into Jerusalem. The mother and sister
who have been afflicted with leprosy
have been cleansed by the Nazarene
and they are surrounded by a wonder
ing multitude who sing praises to Jesus
Of Nazareth. In this incident of the
drama Christ does not appear as a per
sonality. The music introduced in this
scene is equal TO that heard in grand
opera. AS the curtain falls the chorus
of several hundred voices chants This
is Jesus Of Nazareth" while the great
orchestra renders the theme. The Star
OF Bethlehem"
The Interpreting cast includes A. n
Van Buren, as Ben-Hur; John Inee, Jr.
MESSIAH; Robert Mewade. Simonidesi
Henry Weaver. Shiek Ilderim; Chas
Riegel, Balthasar; Helen Singer, Iras
Mabel Brownell. Esther. Blanche Ken
dali. Tirzah; Margaret Dilis. the mother
of Hur. and Stella Boniface Weaver

AT THE GARRICK.

The first American appearance OF
Miss Lena Ashwell. the great English
emotional actress brought to this coun-
try by the schuberts. has proved to
be a pronounced triumph. All the Chi
cago critics and play reviewers have
paid her the highest tribute for her
portrayal of the title role of The
shulamite" at the Garrick theater in
that city Theirs is the first American
verdict upon this distinguished Lon
don artistic. and they arc unanimous
in their praise of her art. Mr.. W. l.
Hubbard In the Tribune declares: Miss
Ashwell is an actress whose coming to
this country IS fully justified. She has
scored a distinct triumph. She sways
her audiences to her will. She is COM
plete mistress of her artiatic powers,
and she possesses temperamental gifts
which enable her to move and touch
her hearers" Mr. Burns Mantle in the
Inter-Ocean exclaims: Miss Ashwell Is
a thoroughly good actress in all that
the term should mean, and one who
is certain to win a following in the
United States" Mr.. James O'Donnell
Bennett in the Record Herald sounds
an eloquent paean of praise in her hon
or. declaring. Hers was an unmistak-
able and a beautiful triumph, 1t was
an exhibition of acting that brought
the first big thrill OF the season--the
thrill of poetry and passion. She acts
from the soul She is the poet of the
parted lips and the searching eyes, OF
the vibrant stroke, the wild swift cry,
the death-like silences. Her method in
moments of supreme stress is swift.
impetuous, decisive and for all her
skill in the depletion of frantic anguish
there seems ever a thought behind, and
in all she does--a clear big thought
and it is in this she is most remark
able. for the capacity of the stage emo
tionalism is by no means invariably
coupled with the intellectual faculty.
In all the various passages of tragic
poetry her grip was firm. her passion
electrifying, her are true" Speaking of
the play of THE Shulamite" itself, he
credits il with being well written
and possessing climaxes of enormous
acting value" All the Chicago critics
dwelt especiallv@upon the surprising
quality of her voice. The Inter Ocean
says: "She is on sactress of fine con-
trasts. capable of tigerish ferocity in
her anger. OF sympathetic appeal in
her calmer moods, and there is a
strange, almost harsh penetration to
her voice when 1t rises In protest before
injustice--a harsnness. however, that
thrills as 1t penetrates. which is proof
of the heart behind it." The Record
+. Herald remarks: 1T is a. voice capable
of wild, sweet music of lyric rap
ture, of the tenderest notes of musing
and of thrilling impression made by
Miss Ashwell upon her first critics in
this American advent of hers. She re-
mains at the Garrick for only one week
more, her stay being limited to October
81 next. as she goes directly to New
York City for ler run at the Lyric the
alter there.

HERBERT l.. FLINT.

OF all the hpynotists now upon the
American stage Herbert L. Flint
stands eonfessedly at the head. Ills
native abilities in this direction are
wonderful and show that he possesses
occult powers of the highest type. He
takes a class of twenty from the audi
ence, and in a very few moments he
has them under perfect control, ready
to obey his slightest wish. They viii
see things which he suggests with the
reality of perfect vision as if they
stood before the object. All sorts of
hallucinations are experienced and all
sorts of vagaries are exhibited, but the
whole entertainment, while exhibiting
all of the phenomena of hypnotism,
is done without the slightest detriment
to the subjects. They go through the
most surprising feats and then awaken
and enjoy the entertainment and laugh
at their comrades. who are executing
some ridiculous feat in their turn. We
know of nothing that will compare in
interest with the work of DR. Flint.

There are Hypnotists and Hypnotists.
but the kings OF the occult are the
Flints. Herbert l. Flint is the first
hypnotist TO be called in a criminal
case and have his testimony accepted
as that of an expert The feats that
they do are simply marvellous and we
may well expect a packed house when
they come to thir city. There is Moth
ing in the world that equals their en-
tertainments This is the verdict of
the entire press and public wherever
they have been this season. Both are
great. The Flints are past masters in
the art of suggestion, especially that
part pertaining to provoking laughter.

once, more in Minneapolis. It is only a
short visit which she planned to make
friends hope that it may be extended
for several months. Everybody re-
members Amalia Ripe, the talented
young. singer, who studied under the
most famous masters, and for whom a
brilliant future was predicted, for she
possessed soprano voice over which
the home and foreign critics raved.
Ihen came her marriage and an abrupt
ending of her musical career, Mr..
Rhode loves music, but he loves his
wife more and holds that the stage is
no place for her; Mrs. Rhode loves her
music, but after all she loves her hus-
band better, and SO she has made the
sacrifice and given up a profession to
which her talent led her, and the pub
lie but seldom hears her beautiful voice
now.
Two years. ago Mr.. Conried offered
her an engagement with the Metropoli-
tan Opera company, where the roles of
Elsa in Lohengrin' and Elizabeth
in "Tannhauser" were awaiting her.
