FROM BEHIND THE CURTAIN

One of Thomas Jefferson's smoking
compartment stories relates that
teacher had been telling her class of
boys that worms had become so nu
merous they destroyed the crops, and
it was necessary to import the English
sparrow to exteTminate them. The
sparrows multiplied very fast. and were
driving away our native birds.
Johnny was apparently inattentive,
and theh teacher, thinking to catch him
mapping, said
Johnny, which is worse, to have
worms or sparrOws?''
please, never had the sparrows."

Chauncey Olcott is somewhat con-
scieHce-stricken-a rather unusual
thing for an actOr-and the cause of
his remorse came about in this way:
One afternoon, while he was rehears-
ing his company in "O'Neill of Derry"
at the Broadway theatre, New York,
a young man whom he had noticed in
conversation with two other men in
front Of the theatre left his COmpan-
ions and, crossing the street, said:
Il beg your pardon, but are you
Chauncey Olcott?"
No" responded the comedian, I'm
his brother
Then l lose my bet" exclaimed the
stranger, darling in front of car and
rejoining his companions.
Mr.. Olcott saw him hand one of the
men d bill. and not wishing the strang-
er to lose his money. he started in pur-
suit to explain. but there was crush
of traffic at the moment and he lost
sight of them.
An hour later Mr. oseott was walking

and keep a roof above the heads of his
loved ones. A still is built in the far
recesses of the mountain and the fam
lily is provided for. The story OF
feud, the coming OF the revenue men
and o. a mothers sacrificing devotion.
brings the tale to a happy ending that
joins forever two human hearts, and
incidentally gives the audience
chance to brush away tear.
A crowd was present at last nights
performance, and the leading man.
Frederick Moore. as well as several
other members of an excellent cast, did
some excellent work. The company
has been improved with the addition
of several members. and they are well
prepared to handle the commendable
list of plays that have been scheduled
for the coming winter months. 1t now
seems an assured fact that melodrama
will LAY the dividends in this house
that it has in the past Manager
Grant wants to thank the patrons of
the house that are returning to their
old-time allegiance. and promises that
no expense or trouble will be spared
TO give to the Lyric audiences the best
melodrama that can be produced
Seats can be reserved at any time
upon application at the box office.

nesday matinee, in 'Zira.' the work of
Henry Miller and J. Hartley Manners,
being a new adaptation and recon-
structiOn Of the famous novel. The
New Magdaleu," By Wilkie Collins.
The theme of the story and play is
the interest that reVolves about a case
of false impersOnation under remark

will remember the powerful acting of
Ada Cavendish and Clara Morris in
plays founded on the same story.
In this new version. Zira, the chardc-

who already has furnished ample proof
of her abilities in the way of emotion
Al Interpretation. She is supposed to
be the victim of a mock marriage, and

ceedings by a Vengeful woman. As a
Red Cross nurse in South Africa dur
ing the Boer war she encounters a
young English woman wko is return

this young woman is the bosom friend
of the woman who has caused Hester

further exposure. a shell eXplOdeS and
the young woman. Ruth Wilding by
name, is wounded by it and apparent
ly killed. Hester quickly changes
clothes with her, and appropriates her
papers, money and identity.
For time the deception is success
full, and Hester tastes the pleasure of
wealth and position in London, but of
course the woman she is impersonat-
ing is not dead, although she has been
deprived OF her memory. The two wo-
men, however, meet face to face, and
the shock of the meeting restores the
WCman's mental faculties. She accuses
her impeTsOnatOr. and is met first with
supplication and pleading and then
with defiance. In the end, Hester, after
a fierce internal struggle. makes what
PREPARATION she can by a confession and
restoration. and is rewarded by a love
which compensates her Ter all her suf-
ferings.

promises to be a bill of headliners from
top to bottom. The acts are new and
novel, and come here having won lau-
rels and favorable comment from all
quarters.
At the head of the program comes
Cliffe tBerzac, with his trained ponies
and the famous original mule Maud"
This act is said to be the greatest
laughing hit in vaudeville. Wherever
ii has been seen audiences have
laughed till their sides fairly ached at
the antics OF Maud. the "he-haw cy-

vent daring amateur donkey busters

absurdly funny performance than the
gyratiOns of this trick mule and the
stOlid insistence of Berzac's three as
sistants to accomplish the feat of rid

Maud. there are three clever little
Shetland ponies of highly trained in
tclligence.
James and Sadie Leonard and Dick
Anderson appear in a hysterical Roman
travesty, entitled when Caesar Sees
Her This sketch is a satire of Ber-
naTd Shaw's Caesar and Cleopatra"
The anachrOnisms introduced and the
absUrdity of the whole thing keep the
house roaring.
Next comes Emma Francis and her
Arabs. This turn is made up of whirl-
wind dancing and wonderful athletic
stunts. These Arabs are from Africa,
and their tumbling feats' are said to be
marvellous.

though there were dozen boobies

remarkable tribute to the American
actress, especially to one as young as
Miss Keane.''

"a Mothers Devotion"

If che likes a real human interest

please the gallery gods, and some who
are not sitting IN the gallery, one

1t IS quite a bit different from the
usual melodrama. and fully as enter
tanning as any play produced at the
Lyric this season. Among the hills of
Tennessee, in the mOonshine district,
where families of the outlaw whisky
distillers go about in deadly fear of
discovery. and the 'revenuers'' hunt
them with fully as much trepidation,
the scenes of the play are laid.

1.-THE Cow Puncher."

That THE Cow PuEcher," by Hal
Reid. to be seen at the Grand theatre
four nights, starting tonight, contains
the possibilities of a truly great play,
seems to be an indisputable fact, but
whether these possibilities could not
have been better expressed by a sim
pier method Of treatment is a debata
BILE question.
Treating of the cowboys life and Gus
toms, Mr.. Reid goes deeper and gives
us glance into the very soul of the
west. The OUening act. dealing with
the cowboys enthusiastic welcome to
the owner of the ranch, a young girl
who has been educated in the east and
visits the west for the first time since
she was a child of 10, finds the condi-
lions so strange and peculiar that it is
well worth anyOne's time to come and
see how cleverly she works her way
into the hearts of the rough and ready
cowboys. Other characters of which
there are twenty. go to make this the
most successful play of the season.
A play with a well-defined purpose,
yet with an underlying thread of de-
lightful humor, is ''The Cow Puncher."
The author, Hal Reid. has drawn his
characters well, notably Tom Lawton,
the central figure.
Natures poet. unknown to fame,
Brave as a lion, he could not write his
name"
There is not a dull moment from the
time Geraldine Graham, a young dash
ing New York girl, arrives TO take pos
session of the ranch left her at the
death of her brother. until the curtain
descends on the death of Lutchi$ Cor
dovia, who receives the bullet in her
own breast aimed at her Spanish lover,
as
Fierce were the fires that burned in
her breast,
she died for her love, in the far golden
west"
THE Cow Puncher' will run four
nights and d Wednesday matinee.

coon shouter," but he sings synco-
pated songs that the world has been
taught to believe are the legitimate
evolution of the old negro melodies in
a way that is good to hear. He is a
handsome fellow, has a good voice and
knows how to use it. He bas brought
with him one new song. ASam John

be whistled all over the streets before
the week is ended.
The TivOli quartette are solOists and
harmOniSts who have had a triumphal
tour throughout the country. A sample
criticism of their works is this: The
quartette sings until the audience is
aroused to the highest pitch of enthu-
siasm, and while clamoring for add
tiOnal encOres the quartette bows it's
thanks and Tetres. 1t is a splendid or
ganizatiOn that sings well, and with
the most consummate taste. There are
few quartettes so worthy of the demon
stratiOn given yesterday.
Allen Wightman comes billed as
clay mOdeler and pastel painter. His
skill as mOdeler is said to be some
thing wonderful, while mis- pastel work
is of the most artistic kind. The kino-
drome pictures and Mr.. Weihe's orches-

lar favor they have won in the past.
