tables Of the law have come down TO

family (whose real name is Doblinsky).
He was a supernumerary in a military
drama at Niblos Garden. and he was re-
quired to carry a musket-only this and
nothing more. His father, having been
informed that the hopeful youngster was

THE WEEKS PLAYBILLS.
Opening of the Columbia - ''Rufh"
is the PLAY.

Ruth" the play in which Manager
Leopold Spachner viii star Fernando
Eliscu. inaugurating her regular season
at the Columbia Theater. September 3,
viii have the first dress rehearsal Thurs
day evening Of this week. Ruth" will
be one Of the notable productions OF the
present season. Miss Eliscu will be sup
ported by Edwin Arden and a select cast,
including such well-known names as
Jeffrys Lewis. Alice Butler. little Miss
Florence Burns Eva Condor, William
Robert DAILY, George Backus. and others.
Miss Eliscu, when playing the leading
roles In Mrs. Fishes Manhattan Stock
Company, scored great success as
Martha. in Martha OF the Bowlands, %
and The Light of St. Agnes.
Ruth" was adapted for the English
stage from the Yiiddish by Prof. William
Addison Hervey of the Columbia Uni
versity. and is the second play adapted
from the Yiddish for an English-speakirg
company. the first being the 'Kreutzer
Sonata in which Nine. Kslich made a
phenomenal success.
One Of the strongest emotional problem
plays seen on the American stage, Ruth
gives Miss Eliscu ample opportunity to
display her ability and versatility as an
emotional actress. The play deals with
the life Of young girl. thrown upon her
own resources at an early age, who errs.
Confessing to the man she has married,
she is overheard by her sister-in-law, who
uses this knowledge and every artitice to
drive her from her husbands home. She
is successful in her attempt, and when
the husband accuses the young wife, she
takes her child and goes from his home.
Eventually returning the child to her hus-
band, through her inability to provide for
its welfare, Ruth comes to an untimely
end.
Ruth" might be called a problem play
were il not for the fact that il is handled
in manner entirely different from the
ordinary plays of this character. It COM
bines its dramatic situations with intense
heart interest from the rise to the fall of
the curtain.

MUSICAL NOTES.

Mr.. William Knabe and Mr. Daniel
Frohman have made arrangements to
bring Kubelik the viOlinist. and Ham
bourg. the pianist, together for five or six
concerts early in the season. They will
be heard together in New York. Chicago,
Philadelphia, Washington, Baltimore. and
possibly in Boston. and Hartford, Conn
The joint appearance Of these two re-
markable and widely differing personaIi-
ties will be the striking feature Of an IN
usually interesting musical season. Many
cities have asked 10 hear Kubeiik and
Hamburg on one programme. but owing
TO the short stay Of the Russian pianist
in America It is impossible 10 give more
than six.
For the Kubelik tour proper Mr.. Froh-
man has engaged as solo pianist Miss
Berthe Roy. an eighteen-year-old pupil
Of the late Marmontel. OF the Paris Con-
servatojre. Miss Roy astorished Paris
some ten years ago as an infant prodigy.
but her coming tour marks her first ap-
pearance as a mature artist She is said
10 be pianist OF rare gifts and charming
/ personality.
Mark Hamburg will open his tour Oc-
tober Is and return 10 Europe December
Is. The Russian pianist's popularity is
shown by the demands for his appearance
from every city he visited on his two
previous tours. But a small proportion
Of these cities can be included by the
present short tour.
