Charles Maher, the gallery tscopv at
the orpheum theater, perpetrated new
one last week At various times in his
official career he had been assigned to
the duty. of ssspotting' drivers who
were sending their autos at a speed
faster than the law and ordinances al
lowed. Last Sunday night a tall indi-I
yidual, who was intent on business
farther up, kept trying to rush the
line and get place nearer the box
office window than the order Of SEE
quence entitled him to. Upon each oc-
casion the wary Maher seized him, and
gently but firmly deposited him in his
proper niche in the hall Of gallery fame.
Upon the fourth attempt, however, the
Irish in the officer was aroused and
he smote the urusher vigorously. The
smitten one Immediately made wall to
Resident Manager Raymond, and that
gentleman at once called the officer to
account:
sAsssWhat did you hit this man forf,y
he demanded Of Maher.
g For speeding, was the unexpected
reply. And the case was dropped.

METROPOLITAN 8: ST..
| Otis Skinner in 1.-THE Duel"

-. Otis Skinner is one of the younger
Nading actors who may always be re-
lied upon to bring on each annual visit
serious artistic play. He comes Mon
day night with the Partisan success,
"The Duel,' the work of Henri Lave
France. and member Of the Academic
Franchise, or, as it is popularity known,
'.The Forty Immortals. The adapta-
ton was intrusted to Louis N. Par
ker, who has worthily rendered into
English Lavedan's beautiful work. It
is a "moral' duel that is exploited,
and no rapiers are crossed or shots ex-
changed. The .duchesse de Chailles,
proigate Or the French mds nob b whose
health had been Slapped by depravity.
He had been placed under the care Of
Dr:s Morel i a celebrated specialist. The
doctor, who is freethinker, is thus
brought into almost daily intercourse
with. the duchess. He finally avows
his affection. This is reciprocated, but
as she is a woman of strong religious
9feeling, she will not succumb to her
love. She visits the nearest church
and seeks solace from an unknown
priest. the Able Daniel, who interests
himself in her struggle with duty and
conscience. Now it happens that this
priest is the brother Of Dr. Morel,
from whom he has been estranged.. DR..
Morel discloses his sentiments, and, sus-
pecting that his brother is likewise
enamored Of the duchess, declares his
jealousy and accuses him openly. There
is the struggle-the duel between two
brothers. one seeking to conquer by
love, the other by religion. The duke,
in temporary insanity, throws himself
from a window and is killed. The
duchess is free to marry the man she
loves. 1t is the good Bishop de .Bole-
no., who dominates the situation by
which they are brought together. He
reconciles the two brothers so discreet
ly that it is the able who places the
hand of the doctor in the hand of the
duchess. Otis Skinner, in the complex
role of the able, has character Of
strong psychological significance Only
an actor Of magnetic personality, sub
tie intelligence and keen insight, could
make it vivid and human. During his
long stellar career Otis Skinner has
given to the public nothing finer than
this mastery portraiture. His admirers
may always rely upon performance
that is thoro and satisfying, not alone
for his own individual work but for
the harmonious ensemble.

Hiss. New York cT:

BON this custom is given by Fragson,
a European vaudevillian with an inter-
national reputation. While singing in
Paris he objected to being blackmailed
by the chef de claque, and invented
mechanical plaudits which were worked
with a spring by the stage manager.
For time all went well, the automatic
hand clapper being great success. AS,
however, the stage manager derived no
profit from the operation, he, in turn,
invented an automatic machine which
sent off a tremendous hiss like q steam
launch siren, and he had to be paid If
this mechanical appliance was not
turned on. In the end the artist had
to return to the old system of fleeing
the claquers out in front.
Plans are being prepared by Chicago
architects for vaudeville theater in
Duluth, to cost $150,000, with seating
capacity of 1900. The theater will
virtually be part Of the Orpheum cir
Western Vaudeville association, with
which the Orpheum circuit company is
affiliated and which will book acts for

theater in Winnipeg.

have been in vaudeville for several

THE serious drama, which has been
sojourning in Minneapolis for a
A week, will tarry with us yet
another week. Those to whom is dele
gated the duty of keeping the sacred
fire burning for another hebdomadal
period are Otis Skinner and Adelaide
Thurston. Mr.. Skinner, who is al
ways welcome visitor, brings trans
planted French play, called "The
Duel,' in which the conflict that RACES
Is one fought with psychological in
stead of material weapons. 1t is the
ancient contest between love and duty,
but with modern setting. The wife
of an unworthy husband is the: cause
of the challenge and the battle for her
soul is between the freethinker and a
son of the church. The prospects of
something tense, you see, are excellent.
1t will also be French.
Miss Thurston s play is one of the
Girl series. A large percentage of the
new plays of the day have the word
"girl' in their title somewhere. This
one is called "The Girl from Out
Yonder' and the. plot Of it, outlined
elsewhere, certainly sounds melo-
dramatic. But Miss Thurston when
fitted out with girlish part can turn
any melodrama ever written into
comedy, as easy as you can say "Jack
Robinson. 70"

Minneapolis Norwegians make the

that the costumes used were not those

the other hand, the management as

have been used in some parts of Nor

How gentle and tame the leading pa
pers Of the country are to the bidding
OF the '.businsss interests was clearly
exhibited In the flrst flush Of public in
dignation over the packing-house reve-
lations. The 10 leading packers Of Chi
cago united In sending out an adver-
tisement inviting the public to call at
their warehouses and inspect them. This
was ridiculous, as In the meanwhile the
packing-houses had probably been care
fully cleaned up as to the parts they
proposed to have the public see. and
had guarded against any intrusion into
those that they did not intend 1t to see.
A page advertisement was made OF this,
which was given to the leading papers
In each Of the Northern cities. and at
once the Indignation over the revela-
lions measurably subsidized. and the paa
pers began to roar as gently as q suck

this was quite sufficient to make the
papers think that the statements Of
Messrs. Neill and Reynolds were more
or less gross exaggerations.

Mr. Haldane, the British Minister Of
War. has had his attention strongly d.
rected to the one defect in the army
system: that is. that 1t turns a discharg-
ed soldier into the world at an age when
ne has lost his adaptiveness and when
without a trade he finds himself at a
great disadvantage in competing with
younger men. Therefore. Mr.. Haldane
has appointed a committee to consider
the training OF the soldiers in various
trades. It Is believed that something
can be found in this way which will be
better for the ex-soldier than the pres
ent system. Something has been done
in providing by enlisting the interests OF
the great railroad companies, who have
been giving berths to ex-soldiers, and
they are also being taken in larger num-
bers into the postal service as carriers
and postmen. AS the standard of edu-
cation in the army has been raised in
recent years, the soldiers are we'll fitted
for these latter employments, but it is
thought that more can be done for them
In other directions.

1t must be said in all fairness that
the latter part of the platform suffers in
comparison with the same portions of
the Republican platform. The latter
demands and promises specific and we'll

distinctly-worded plans for reforms in
Internal administration which the peo-
pie very much want. All these things

On the other hand. the Democratic
platform has the vagueness and uncer-

hints and suggests things that people
want, but leaves the actual promises so
vague that those who may be elected on
the ticket can interpret them as they
wish or disregard them altogether. In
