Viola Allen.

Viola Allen Is to present her latest and greatest success. Clyde Fiteh's play. '"rhe Toast of the Town at the Jefferson the- atre April 10. The character impersonated in this play by Miss Allen is that of Betty Singleton. an actress who reigned during the time of George the Third. In every city where Miss Allen has ap- peared, it was the generally expressed opinion that Miss Allen, in this role, has risen to the greatest heights yet achieved as an actress. Mir. Fitch mod eied the character with Miss Allen in view, and that she has succeeded so well in it proves that the dramatst was fully cognizant of her talents as an actress She has won equal success as come dienne and as an emotional actress. In point of fact. Viola Allen is one of the best actresses the American stage has ever known. Her great popularity has rested on firm ground Mir. Fitch has, according to all accounts, provided a dra- ma entirely worthy of Miss Aliens abil- ties and reputation
 The play is in four acts. and the pro duction provided by Miss Aliens mana ger Charles w. Allen. is described as being of unusual magnficenoe. Mir. Fitch is the producer of his own plays and he has introduced into this one many novelties which have ever been discovered in plays from his pen Miss Aliens companies have always been of the best, and the one supporting her in 'The Toast of the Town" is no exception to the rule Miss Isabel Irving has made a hit as Roxana and Mrs. Fanny Addi- son Uitt has scored as the Dowager Duchess of Malmshury. Others in the cast who have been highly commended are Harrison Hunter 1Iassard Short Norman Tharp, Alice Wilson and s. Les lie Allen.

do not know what is going on, and at tempt to butt in. At times they spoil scene, and again their interference will add realism to the picture, as in the comedy chase pictures where the crowd always joins in the chase thinking they are pursuing a real culprit.
 The spectacular reproductions of fairy tales require the services of a large num- Der of principals dancers, and extra peo- ple as well as immense amounts of scen- cry and costumes, making the cost of the first negative often as high as ten or twelve thousand dollars.
 Senational pictures, such as MT. Shep- ards newest thriller, "The Train Wreck ers," require besides large corps of ac- tors, two full train crews and the ex- elusive use of about five miles of rail- road track for an entire afternoon not to speak of a hand car, the smashing of a tool house and the services of expert switchmen and dispatchers. The estimated cost of this production is close to $13,000. 'The Train Wreckers" will be the prin- cipal feature of Mir. Shepard's perform ance at the Jefferson theatre next Tues day.
 There will be a special school child rens matinee at D. m.

Lulu Glaser.


 Lulu Glaser, in Charles Dillinghams production, Miss Dolly Dollars" will be the attraction at the Jefferson theatre next Tuesday. The libretto and lyrics are from the pen of Harry B. Smith, while the music has been furnished by Victor Herbert. The book is in Mr. Smiths most sprlghtly style and the music is tuneful and catchy. Metropolitan eri- tics are unanimous in their opinion that Miss Chaser has in Miss Dolly Dollars quite the best tarring vehicle ever pro- vided for her
 Dolly Dollars is the daughter of an American millionaire who is doing Europe and is perfectly willing to expend d large amount of money 10 purchase titled son-in-law. She is followed about Europe by a host of men with titles hay. ing a large aggregation of debts. Miss Dollars does not share her parents ideas on the title question, and VOWS she will never marry for a title An English nobleman and his secretary change places. The former becomes Miss Dollars chauf- feur. While the American parents are anxiously trying to promote a match with Lord Birmingham, who is none other than the secretary, with the perversty of hu- man nature, the American girl falls In love with the chauffeur. This Is really the plot on which the musical comedy hinges.
 1t Is late in the last act when MISS Dollars is made aware of the deception that has been practiced upon her. She makes it decidedly uncomfortable for Lord Birmingham when she discovers his identity Matters, however, are straight ened out and all ends well. The Amer ican hciress gets her title and the im- pecunious nobleman is able to lift the mortgages from his ancestral home.
 Slight as the plot is it is cleverly worked out and by the aid of the cast of unusual strength and excellence Miss Dolly Dol- lars Is one of the brightest and clever est entertainments in recent years Much credit is due to Charles Dillingham; for the manner in which he has aged the production It is said that neither pains nor expense has been spared to make the piece an artistic and musical triumph. The costumes are nearly all imported and ultra Fashionable in cut and design. Fred C. Latham, Mir. Dillinghams general stage manager, has introduced several new dance and some novel and pleasing evolutions.

Animated Photography.

Few people who witness the perform ances of Archie l.. Shepards Novel Mov- ing Pictures, ever give a thought to the manner in which the subjects are se cured. The Washington Times of recent date. published an interesting article on the trials and troubles of a party who invaded the Canadian forests to se- cure a moving picture of an actual moose hunt The party, which was necessarily a large one, travelled in a special car as far as the iron horse could carry them the remainder of the journey be- Ing made by team, and were fortunate in securing some excellent pictures of the killing of wild moose. The journey was an exceptionally expensive one, owing to the number of people engaged and the dis tance travelled, but this Is just an instance of the enormous outlay of money, time and energy incurred in securing sub jects of special interest.
