"PARSIfAL"
at Little Rock.

A play as broad in its interests as
 humanity itself. Elaborate and specta-
 cular in production, weird in its DOT
 trayal of the elemental passons. ab-
 sorbing as a dream of the highest
 good, yet keen and intense in its ap-
 peal to the individual; such is the de- scription of the Wagner wonder drama which is to see in its new English dress al Little Rock. Dec. 2. Matinee
 and night.
 It is generally conceded to be condition of dramatic, art than human interests must be paramount. and this condition has been compiled with in the translation of "Parsifal Abstract ideas and poetic farcies are made [ real in the characters and experiences of living persons. The faith that good shall be the final goal of ill, forms the legend wrought out to certitude in the action of the play. The futility of low
 cunning. craft, duplicity and all the unIoveIy brood of the neither world. when opposed by the nobler intelligence which comprehends but disregards them all, is demonstrated in this thril- ing drama. which centers around the personality of the son of many gener- ations of soldier sires. whom his mother would have made shepherd of but whom destiny made king. There is sound philosophy and true art in the final description of the per- sonality of Parsifal.
 A guileless fool-in the eyes of the foolish-not by wrath, nor by cynicism. nor by cheap worldly wisdom. but by pity enlightened.
 As a spectacle "Parsifal'' is tre- enterprise; the scenery is on a lavish scale and the illuminations and electric effects form striking feature of the production. An aug mented orchestra of twenty musicians will render the soul-stirring strains of Parsifal as an accompaniment tc the ! text

THE ELLEFORDS


THE New South" was given again
last night bv the ErefoTds at the Or
pheum to a large and pleased house.
This is one of the best plays the COM
pany has put on.
The Plunger," the offering for to-
night and tomorrow night, is melo-
drama somewhat out of the ordinary.
1t was selected from over fifteen sue
cesses for this companys return en-
gagement at the Grand opera House,
Los Angeles, Cal, this season and it
broke all house records for the week
at tn prices, proving that the selec-
ton was a wise one. 1t is one of these
modern stories that please all classes
Of playgoers 1t was written for the
well-known actor, oliver Doud Byron
and his clever wife. Kate Byron, and
was presented by them for four sea-
sons with unqualified success. 1t deals
with men and women humanity eccen-
tric but nevertheless making big
part of this busy world The scenes
take place in New York brokers' Of
fee, at the country place of the Irish
Widow, the station of the n. Y. Cen
trail railroad and the drawing room of
New York millionaire. The comedy
is furnished by. the 'Plunger" the Irish
widow, the tramp, and the negro SER
want, and bubbles throughout the whole
play. Two sensational scenes are the
attempted robbery Of the safe in the
brokers' office and the sensational run
of the elevated train and the escape.
The play is east with the full strength
of the popular company and each mem
Der has a congenial part, giving all a
Pchance for good work. The Osborn
children and Matte Lloyd Luce will
introduce some fetching specialties.
Seats are now on sale for THE Plum
