 There is more variety of diversion in Fantasma' than any entertainment that has been at the BiJou theatre this season, and the large audience which saw the spectacular pantonime at the Wells playhouse last night let loose It's enthusiasm in unbounded ap- plause at almost every stage of the game.
 Many years ago, when some of us who are now nearing the meridian or life were mere boys, the Hanlons were famous for the style of entertainment offered under the title, "Fantasma." In those days the Hanlon trade mark guar anteed the best spectacle that the stage afforded Whether this is the Hanlon group of other days or q sec- ond generation of the EIanlons, it mat ters not for the fact is "Fantasma than the Hanlons ever offered and this is saying q great deal. "Fantasma Is modern in every respect. with all of the best of the old features retained,
 With 8 wealth of artistic scenery and mechanical and electrical. devices that one may not undertake to describe In limited space; with a large company of seasoned actors, including ballef of pretty girls. wearing gorgeous rai- ment; with half dozen comedians, tumblers and acrobats us well as sing CTS and dancers. the Hanlons are bet ter equipped than ever and "Fantas ma" Is an entertainment that play-goers must see 10 appreciate
 The straight acting in the entertain ment, that is to say the persons who portrayed the characters of the pro iogue, fell to Mir De Haven as the abused hero, Miss Palmer as the hero inc and dainty Miss Thropp as the sou brette. They filled the requirements of the prologue and those who followed in the dream which embraces three acts did the parts assigned to them ably,
 The actor most in favor with the great audience was William Hanlon. the second, who played the goat. No funnier four-legged animal was ever eaan on any stare than this heWh1S- kered specimen as shown by Mir Han lon. Fred Hanlon as Pico, the clown, played the part with authority and got laughs for his efforts. George Hanlon, Jr, was quite clever as Drinkwater Knott with an all consuming thirst. Ills scenes in the revolving barroom and fishing from seat Suspended over the heads of the audience were ridicu- lOuslv funny.

There is little reason to specialize over a cast of characters which has evidently had great experience In the task set before it.
 It was apparent throughout the en- tertainment that the Bijou stage was not large enough to accommodate the enormous amount of scenery carried by the company and In it's early stages the performance moved slowly.

more dangerous by day than

dignity and leisure is the one most

~ HE announcement Of series of
weekly lectures for the members
Of the Minneapolis Society Of
Fine Arts and the pupils Of the art
school seems to me long step in the
direction Of making the society a posi-
tive force in the community and in
strengthening the society so that it may
offer other and greater advantages to
the public in the way Of exhibitions
and lectures. In this respect the Mime
apois society is following the policy
that has been in force for a number Of
years at the Chicago Art Institute,
where a very full and attractive pro-
gram is provided each year for the
members.
The institute has large number of
Important permanent collections that
make its galleries worth frequent visits
and study and its situation makes Wis
iting it an easy matter. In addition
the space at the disposal Of the direct
ors makes possible several changing ex-
hibitions held simultaneously. For ex-
ample, there are now being shown, in
addition to the permanent exhibits,
aboutS2OO paintings by artists of the
Glasgow school, an important and at
tractive collection; about seventy-fve
pictures by H. W. Faulkner, and Fred
erick Freer, Alison Clark and Belle
Riviera each has room filed with his
work. One of the most interesting and
instructive exhibitions of the season,
and also one of the most popular, is the
exhibition of Chicago artists that will
fill all the galleries from Jan. 80 to
Feb. %. Other important exhibitions
during the remainder of the year are
the Photographic Salon, paintings by
jules Guerin, several collections Of
Illustrations, the annual exhibition of

exhibition of the National League of
