Such balloon as I saw in the course
of construction in the workshop is put

that is figured down to the minutest de-

maker has his plan always before him.
He works exactly according to bis

begins by cutting the material of which

called, Is made, usually OF silk sew

serious trouble. And In this connection
the balloon maker explains that IL Is I'm

DEWENNeuu Century Girls

The latest bidders for popularity in

lated. 1t is claimed by the management
that all the music in the pieces is the
very latest, and most of it is of that
catchy, ripping kind which captivates
the populace.
The success of the burlesques, and
they are successful, is not due alone to
it's pleasant melodies nor it's book,
which reeks with jollity, but to the eff
fectiveness Of it's staging. 1t shows a
lavish expenditure which, for once, has
been guided with considerable good
taste. There is mass Of rich material
varied in harmony, that gives daz-
zling effect at once as pleasing to the
eve as it is artistic in color.
With plot, the author has been rather
stingy, he being a firm believer in the
old saying that actions speak louder

METROPOLITAN
"Checkers"

"Checkers' is to return to the Met
ropolitan this evening for an engage
ment of four nights and matinee.
To see "Checkers' is to see a pic
ture of life. There is not false note
in the story. It runs along the chan
nels known to everybody who has
mixed at al with the world, and even
those whose knowledge Of life comes
solely from study, will find little to
cavil at "Checkers is rich in humor
and the humor is natural, not forced,
and the old, old story, is told with new
words and novel scenes.
Hans Roberts, the young actor to
whom has been entrusted the title role
in the present company is said to fit
well in the shoes of Mr.. Ross, who
gained fame by his clever delineation
of the character. The other players
are reported to be on a par with many
of the persons who appeared last year
still in the cast.
There is delightful piece Of work
bv Katherine Hulkins, an ingenue OF
rare taste. The race track tout OF

praise. AMI so is the Uncle Jerry OF
Charles Willard, and the Aunt Deb OF
Ella Sotnern, and the Cynthia of Lydia
Dickson. The pickaninnies, too, are

is promised for this week by the man
agement Of the Unique theater. The
change Of bills comes at the first matt
nee Monday, the attractions Of last
week remaining for today's perform

The most ambitious act will be that
Of the Anderson family, father and
three children. Their act is a straight
musical one and shows the highest mus
ical training.
Another attraction will be the work
Of the Knickerbocker Four in a series
of selected numbers calculated to dis
play their fine musical accomplishments
to the utmost.
Grace Almond is also down for a
ten-minute diversion.
Evans and Evans, old-time favorites,
will contribute their amusing special
ty in the same line, and Lou and Berte
Allan will present their popular comedy
sketch which also contains some pretty
music. Last but not least, Herman LIE
Fleur will sing new illustrated songs.
Syne and Dandy will contribute COM
edy acrobatic act which will be the one
stunt which does not contain music and
dancing.
New motion pictures will be pre-
sented.

the son of John Burkett Ryder, known
in the financial world of which he is,
the despot, as Ready Money! Ryder.
Jefferson fallss in love with Shirley,
who in return is attracted by him. On
her arrival in America she finds her
father ruined in reputation, broken in
health and financially embarrassed; the
result of a ruling adverse to the inter
ests of a coterie of financial magnates
at the head of which is Ryder. Aided
by corrupt politicians, they retaliate by
causing Judge Rossmore s removal from
the bench pending investigations Of
alleged fraudulent practices.
One man holds the proofs Of Ross
more's innocence. That man is Ryder.
Shirley's effort to clear the stain from
her fathers name, serves as the basis
for drama unusual in conception and
strikingly original in plot. The re-
markable series of circumstances where
in Shirley finds herself g. welcomed in
mate of the Ryder household, beloved
of the family and Invaluable to its
head, are logically created and consist
entity developed.
The love interest seemingly subservi-
ent in the struggle between the elton -
and the "mouse' suddenly becomes
the vital factor in the situation, uncon.
ventional in it's treatment and finely
dramatic in it's movement and climax
The happy termination of the story has
been accomplished by Mr.. Klein with
no ,straining Of the probabilities, but
logically and sincerely.
The advance sale indicates an unu
sual amount of interest in the coming
production, which seems certain to be
come one of the most vital of the loca
dramatic season, for it is considered by
many critics of the drama to more
closely approach the great American
play than any previous contribution tt
stage literature.
In the notable cast assembled by MI
Harris are Arthur Byron, Margaret III

cess, "The Duke of Duluth.
Mr.. Wills, who will be remembered
for his success last season in "a Son
of Rest has in the coming production,
a vehicle which affords him numerous
opportunities for the display Of his
many qualities as comedian. The COM
pany consists of fifty artists Of high
standing. Miss Marie Tyler, the lead
ing woman Of the organization, is a
singer of much repute, being a grad
uate Of the celebrated Conservatory of
Music of Boston.
; Miss Eta Pearce, a charming come
dienne, is very happily cast. Miss
Pearce is accredited with being one of
the most graceful and best-dressed SOU
brets on the state.
The male principals, include Tony
Hart, Frank White, A. .~ G.. Franklin
and others. The chorus is forty strong.
Messrs. Broadhurst and Currie, Mr..
Wills managers, have tried to give
fThe Duke Of Duluth,' the very best
production which could be obtained,
and have been lavish in their expendi-
ture. The dressing of the piece is said
to be both gorgeous and extravagant in
the extreme, while the scenic embellish
ments and electrical effects have taxed
the ingenuity Of the best scenic paint
ers and electricians. During the action
of the piece, among the musical mum
beers featured are Ono Peach Hangs
Too Hi h for Me, Rosita,' "The
Trolley Line, - "Take a Trip in Ny
Auto,' and numerous others. Mr.. Wills
also introduces many topical songs ano
parodies.

been approved by Ralph Stuart. ''The
Man from Missouri, - is the choice.
Written originally for Tim Murphy,
"The Man from Missouri contains a
fund Of rich American humor and a

Americanism, which is depicted in the
actions Of strong men from the great
west engaged in running villain to
cover in Washington.
The story of the play shows Bronco
Jim, big-hearted, typical cowpuncher
and ranchman on visit to his friend
Congressman John Barton, in Washing

make De Castro release his compromis
ing hold on the generals wife requires
skill which Bronco jim supplies. He

AUDITORIUM
Souso and His Band

Sousa, the famous "March King,'
will bring his great band to the Min
neapolis Auditorium tomorrow for af
ternoon and evening concerts. 1t will
be his first appearance here for two
seasons, and as the band does not ap-
pear in St. Paul on the present tour,
great many of the Sousa enthusiasts
Of that cit will attend. :
. Altho the present is the thirty-eighth
semi-annual tour Of the popular organi-
cation, interest in it's delightful pro-
grams is as keen as ever.
The success of the Sousa band in
America and Europe is something with
which every lover Of good music is
quite familiar. It has come to be re-
garded as not only the greatest Ameri-
can band, but the only organization
which has European following that is
as loyal and enthusiastic.
The secret of Sousa's success is not
hard to account for. He is a leader Of
the very first rank, and furthermore
possesses the faculty Of arranging pro-
grams that please every auditor, re-
gardless of whether or not they have had
the benefit of a musical education.
Woven in with the highest grade of
classical music there are always a
number of stirring, marches.
The program arranged for the Mime
apolis concerts are as follows:
