comedy order, and that one will rivet
the attention Of those who admire the
perfect woman in gymnastic feats Of
superlative excellence. Heading the
bill will be Richard Braatz and his four
legged acrobats and pantomimists in
German comedy without words, each
part being played by canine comedian
of recognized ability, the master mind
and hand appearing at no time during
the play. Three feature. numbers will

FACTS ABOUT OTIS SKINNER

" y ~ - ~ = ~
Otis Skinner who is this season an
pearing in the famous Partisan success
THE DUEL under Charles Frohman IS
direction may be regarded as one of the
staunch pillars Of the legitimate dra-
ma. In these days when actors of
even conventional merit are few and
far between, the theater-going enthusi-
asts who still have healthy palates for
the higher forms Of the drama mostly
look to special few who have proved
by splendid work their competency.
Otis Skinner is one Of this faithful
few, who have always been inspired by
steadily in power and sureness Of tech
n1que, whose mental and physical
qualifications for great parts in great
plays are real and indisputabIe.
Like every other actor who has won
high place he has fought his way.
inch by inch by the hardest, most con-
scientious work.
He was born in Cambridge, Mass,
and as boy he lived and played in the
CLASSIC shades Of Harvard. There his
warnings for an artistic life were nur-
tured by the intellectual atmosphere.
He CHANGED to act in an amateur per-
Torrance of an old English comedy and
speedily became the idol of all his sis
ters, cousins and aunts. Only one ell
derly grandmother was shocked His
father, Clergyman, smiled blandly
when one day Otis announced his in
tentiop Of becoming an actor. The
father was not irate, for he reasoned
that the first rebuff Of failure and dis
app continent would speedily quench the
boys ambition. But young Skinner
did not succumb to the first disappoint-
ment. He found that stage life is not
a bed of roses. He soon found his first
real chance with Edwin Booth, playing
Francois to the great IS Richie
lieu. From then on his future was
never in doubt. With Lawrence Bar
rett, with Booth, with Modieska, with
Augustin Days company, his own
honest brightness was not dimmed by
that OF his great associates. ~
When he played Captain Absolute in
THE Rivals to Joseph Jefferson q
| Bob Acres, Jefferson pronounced him
the best representative Of the part with
in the comedians memory.
Otis Skinner is now in his prime.
His fine powers, developed and nourr
ished by training with great artists, are
now in their full artistic maturity. His
performance Of the Able Daniel in
1.-the Duel' is this season giving de-
light and refreshment to the intellec-
/ tual theAtergoing public.

UNIQUE
Polite Vaudeville.

The new bill calls for real min
strel show and a furiously funny farce
entitled "The Arrival of Mr.. Dooley''
as the headliners. Howe and Ed
wards are down to put on the farce.
They are two Of the best fun-provoking
artists on the vaudeville stage. s's2The
AI rr Of Mr.. Doo1eyN abounds in
ridiculous situations. O'Neill g Maies-
tic Minstrels furnish the black-face
show. It is a minstrel act INTERVIEWED
with songs, dances and everything that
goes to make such an act attractive
Hundreds of lights are used in the
electrical display. A feature is the
mbourine and bone selection by the
end men. John and Mamie Conroy are
down for. some comedy dancing. The
Clarity sisters will pay their annual
visit and do some excellent singing
and fancy dancing. To many patrons
nothing will be more pleasing than the
monolog turn Of ohm Byrne, the man
who is, not liar, just a story teller.'

Flotsam (Miss Thurston) having rescued
from drowning Mrs. Elmer, a summer

Amos 7;71os Barton, the Lighthouse; keeper,
in liquor. This man Hamilton was sup

is taken care of by Mrs. Elmer, sis

to drop his own name and use hers.
Naturally, Mrs. Elmer and her nephew
are anxious to reward Flotsam, and a
meeting with her father is contrived.
When he sees young Elmer, whose re-
semblance to his father is striking, he
is so shocked that he becomes i'll. In
his delirium he talks about the muir
der, and Joey Clark, fsher-boy in
love with Flotsam, who nurses him
learns his secret, and when Flotsam
refuses to marry him, he discloses to
Elmer the fact that Barton is the muir.

love affair between Flotsam and Elmer,
but old Captain Barton, in an effort to
save Flotsam from approbrium, denies
that she is his daughter, saying she i

brought up. She is about to leave the

when, at the last moment, her great love
for her father drives her back and
makes him confess that he has lied only
to save her. She renounces her love-
and says she will stick to her father
and keep the lights burning until he re

with another secret, that Of the only
