"Wagner's Parsifai."

Since Wagner's celebrated drama of "Parsifal' has been announced for it's presentation at the Elks theater Fri 1 day night, quite considerable degree ! of interest and expectation is evi- denced among all classes of our thea
 much of this is caused from mere
 curiosity, occasioned by having heard of the tremendous excitement that was stirred up at it's initial pro- duction in New York City, But by far the greater and keener interest is
 shown by the intelligent reading class of the masses and the more refined and cultivated citizens comprising the
 better grade of lovers of all that is good in theatrical offerings. The play
 of "Parsifal' essentially appeals to
 the intellect, and one whose best en-
 joyment is gained through that me- dium can not find more worthy ve-
 hicle than "Parsifal,' as presented by
 Messrs Martin and Emery's capable company. The spectacle however,
 can not fail to please all classes.
 There is something in it's production
 that will appeal to every individual
 taste. But there is that something
 in this drama of all dramas sweet
 ly prevailing it's four absorbing acts,
 that never fails to hold it's auditors
 from beginning to end spellbound with
 intense interest and pleasure. This
 something is it's sweetly human story,
 told with it's expressive symbols and
 allegory, and enhanced and heightened
 with the air of mysticism and oriental
 ism surrounding and permeating it
 all. "Parsifal' patrons should bear in mind that the first life of the cur tain will occur promptly at 7:45. Ow- ing to the auditorium being in dark ness none can be seated after this time, till the conclusion of the first act. Ten minutes warning of the ap- proach of commencement time will be l given by uniformed Heralds blowing
 "Parsifal" motif on their clarions.

''M0nte CristO" Saturday.

Monte Cristo," with James O'Neill
 in the title role will be seen at the Elks theater on Saturday, matinee and night, when 1t is promised that the piece will be revived with splendor of stage settings which will cast into the shade all previous productions of this old-time favorite play. It has been so many years since this an- nouncement was first made that many theater goers have almost ceased to remember the exact date when it was put on the billboards for tn first time, but the present production is on such a scale of magnificence that it gives a new and added zest to the appear ance of Mr. O'Neill and strong ele- ment of novelty to the play itself.

terest, and Goldberg, with an in
born love of the theatric, arranged
his witnesses so as to lead gradually
TO the climax, the denOuement. He
put the janitOr on the stand first, and
then had Simmonds tell his story.
Some medical testimony followed as tC
the exact nature of Thompson's in
juries. and the bullet, which had been
extracted, was put in-evidence-it was
plainly much too large to have come
from Miss Croydon's pistol. Finally
Miss Croydon herself was called. \
little gasp of delicious excitement ran
through the crowd as she appeared at
the door of the witness room. Here
was Il tidbit to touch the palates of
even the jaded police reporters.
Godfrey, looking at her as she came
steadily forward 10 the stand, felt his
heart warm with admiration. She
seemed perfectly composed and, if not
perfectly at ease, at least as nearly
so as any woman of her position could
be in such Il place. Godfrey was
pleased TO see DrySdale in close at
tendance, and he nodded TO him en-
couragingly.
Miss Croydon told her story clearly
and with an accent OF sincerity there
was no doubling. 1t differed in one
detail from the story she had told the
night before. Thompson. she said, had
perceived the intruder, and there had

He was not unconscious. but was
struggling to his feet again when
his asSailant shot him.
The coroner glanced at the jury. but
none of them seemed disposed to ask
any questions. Then Goldberg made
a sign TO SimmOnds. He left the room,
but reappeared in n moment, lead
ing in Jimmy the Dude.
Not until they We're quite near did
Miss Croydon perceive them; then, as
her eyes met the prisoners, she half
started from her chair, her face like
marble. As for Jimmy, Godfrey was
astOnished to perceive the fascinated
gaze he bent upon Miss Croydon.
Goldberg had perceived their agita-
tion, and the gaze he bent upon the
witness grew perceptbly more stern.
Miss. Croydon" he began, you
have described the guilty man as short
and heavy set with a dark mustache
turning up at the ends. Look at the
prisoner before you. Is he the man"
He is not" replied the witness in
a firm voice and without an instant's
hesitation.

Perfectly sure; there is little or no

THAT is ALL he said abruptly.
