the best of attractions, Managers Spitz
and Nathanson have selected for the
coming week one of the strongest plays
yet produced by the stock company. II
is the famous society comedy drama.
THE Wife" the creation OF David Bel
asco and the late Henry G. DeMille. orig
inally produced by Daniel Frohman's s
Lyceum theatre stock company. N0H
York 1t has been successfully produced
by the high-class stock companies
throughout the country, and ought TO be
an exceptionally good vehicle for mem
bers of the Empire stock company 90

ner in which the previous productions ny
this company were received is any cri-
terion. "The Wife, will surely be great
success
Mr. Barker, as the Senator will have
role admirably suited to him, In which
those who have seen the play and know
his abilities, will realize that he Is cer-
tadn TO score quite as great success as
any he has yet achieved Miss Purnel
as Helen Truman, the young woman VINO
is the centre of interest will also be seen
in a peculiarly fortunate role, and one
in which her rare gifts and strong per-
sonality should find full scope for their
display. David Walters as Matthew Cul-
Yer. addicted to politics: and Maud At
kinson. as Mrs. S. Bellamy Ives, devoted
to charities" have conspicuous parts
that afford excellent opportunities. Miss
Louise Mitchell Will have one or the
strongest parts of the play as Lucille
Ferrant. an attractive Southern girl with
true Southern characteristics. who in
measure is to blame for the unfortunate
incident that afforded the motif or the
story. a role allowing unusually good
scope for Miss Mitchell's best efforts.
Miss Jane Dore will again make her
appearance with the company aIter an
absence of three weeks, and VIII be seen
i'm the pleasing role OF Mrs. Burton Chase
Amory Junior member of Truman & Co,
and will no doubt be warmly welcomed.
Mr. Rennie will be seen as Silas Iru-
man. while Mr. Redding Will be Ruther-
ford's secretary. and Clarence Chase viii
portray Robert Gray, the attorney-at-
law.
The comedy elements will be found very
amusing. and will give Mr.. Spanierman,
as Major Putnam, q. "A. X. veteran,
whose "faint heart ne'er won fair lady"
the best opportunity he has had this sea-
son. while Mr.. Kennedy, as Jack Dex-
Ter. the Columbia, '06. student, and Miss
Boothby, as Kitty Ives, Washington SO
ciety belle. Just coming out Will both
have congenial roles. This Is really the
first opportunity that these clever young
people have been given to show their YER
satility The play will be given the bene-
fit OF a handsome stage setting under
Stage Director Dudley's noteworthy et-
forts.

the Imperial theatre stock company will
produce the interesting sensational melo-
drama "TRiss," or Beyond the Rock

MIA. The plot is full OF interesting incl
dents. The struggles for honor love and
fortune rewarded with justice is the
theme.
The story is a beautiful blending of pa
thos and comedy. The comedy situations

BUCKlNa BR0NCH0S
AND REAL COWBOYS

Let no one fear he will not see plenty
OF real excitement with Buffalo Bill's
Wild West, when II exhibits on the Gran
ston show grounds a week from next
Monday There will be plenty OF excite
ment. OF the genuine sort and not the
least will be furnished by the Rough
Rider delegation which constitutes n part
of the entertainment. These horsemen,
drawn from the equestrian nations of
the world. will furnish wido variety OF
daring feats, ranging from the fearless
Cossacks from Russia to the American
cowboy from our own western plains.
The cowboys will introduce the realism
OF life In the boundless West; an existence
which is led in the free, open air of the
pradries. They will show the sports with
which they while away the hours of
leisure which fall to their lot In pursuit
OF their calling as herdsmen and watchers
over the cattle which Craze upon the
plains. The most interesting feature OF
their life naturally centre around their
korses; tffeir-earo and management.
One OF the most diverting features OF
Buffalo Bilrs exhibition will be truth
ful representation of 'broncho busting
ty real cowboys and real ''bronchos."
Their antics may be described as pure
devihshness on the part of the horse and
pure recl<lessness on the part Of the
riders. No one seems TO know just why
a broncho makes himself so disagreeable; ;

with cincle OF leather which passes
around the jaws. The tackle. when pulled

with agility: often he does Il by straddling
the PROSTATE horse and letting him

planted on earth tho real fun begins. A
description OF the exhibition Is almost inn
possible There are several varieties of
'bucking," and the horse sometimes
vees them all in one melange of devilish-
ness. The performance Is fraueht with
great danger 20 the rider, and at every
exhibition given by Buffalo Bill's Rough
Riders a dozen men take their life In their
hands In subduing the half-crazed and
always thoroughly angered bronchos. IL
is realism itself. the soul. body, legs and
head OF equine devilshness.

SCENIC TEMPLE

What is expected 10 PROVE one OF the
most entertaining bills OF the season will
be offered next week at the Scenic Tenn
pie, In which vaudeville, moving pictures
and illustrated songs will be blended in

pie one OF the most popular amusement
resorts in the city with the best class OF

lures are said TO be more than ordinarily
entertaining and varied i'm subjects and
character, including the usual preponder-
ance OF comedy elements.

James II. Waters, who is very well known
in this city and is recognized as one OF
the greatest and funniest Hebrew singing
comedians in vaudeville. His present act
Is entirely new and includes his LATEST
parodies OF the kind that have made his
fame; and II is said TO be funny in the
extreme. Eva w. Spear one OF the orig
inal Navajo Girls OF vaudeville, very
pretty and talented girl, will offer novel
speciality OF singing, whistling and monos
logue and Robert Mack, also well known
TO vaudeville patrons. will be heard in
new songs and funny stories.
The success OF George w. Graham and
Julia Walsh in illustrated songs has been
so great that they are retained for an
other week; and Charles Soule will de-
light music lovers with cornet solos both
afternoon and evening The usual change
OF songs and pictures will be presented on
Thursday for the latter half of the week.

ton of the stories of the latter name
that had such a tremendous vogue n few
years aga by e. w. Hornung, the drama
tization having been made by Eugene
Presbey. The stories had n wonderful
fascination for young and old, men and
women, and in dramatic form they are no
less interesting. For three seasons Kryle

in the title role of this play, which ran
Tor 300 nights in New York and was pro-
nounced better than Sherlock Holmes ."
