"The Royal Chef

1.-The Royal Chef will appear at
the Kentucky January 81. This
much heralled musical comedy had
its first presentation at the Garrick
theater, Chicago and with the exceps
ton of run in New York and a short
road tour last spring, has not been
revealed only to the playgoers Of
those cities. Therefore Paducah will
have the opportunity of seeing prac-
tically a brand new show and one
that was one of the biggest successes
of the past season. The cast includes
such people as Harry Hermsen, Oscar
Ragland Osborne Clemson, Stanley
Felch, Gertrude Hutcheson Elsie
Frazee. Laurette, Madge Murray and
others. Among the musical nuns
bers are"O'Reilly", Tale of the Tail

and an exceptionally good company.
.'The Magic Melody" IS rarely
beautiful play. 1t is a charming love
story, but It is much more than that
It is a wonderful character play, and
it is a sermon. too, the lesson Of
which is that money and power are
not all in this world worth striving
for, and that the man of soul ard
honor and genius, although poor
withal. can afford to scorn and spurn
with contempt the rich and powerful
magnate whose heart is frozen and
who has crushed every noly senti-
ment and feeling for humanity out
of his being-even though that man
be his father. It is signally clever
alike in construction, in its climaxes
ana the spoken word. 1t is thorough
ly pleasing. refining and uplifting.
Only seven people are required to
present it, but there IS more than
one star. Almost every role is a char
aeter study and they arc splendidly
taken. It is by no means a one-man
play. There is that delightful old
German lady of the old school, moth
erly, unselfsn' and homelil1e, bring
ing in her coffee and coffee cake and
lapsing into her. native tongue in,
moments of excitement a charac-
ter most worthily represented by
Miss Martha George.
Then. there is Pietro Giant, once
a famous singer, haunted by the
memories of his lost sweetheart, his
lost voice, mis- lost fame, and thirst
ing for his long-delayed vengeance.
Richard Sherman has this difficult
role. and. in makeup. costume, ac-.
cent and gesture, he plays it true 10
the life, so that he earned much OF
the generous applause the play
evoked.
Miss Maude Shaw has the role of
Clara Douglas, a breezy, independ-
ent, outspOken, free-hearted Ameri
can girl, and hers is also quite de-
lightful bit of character work.
As Helmer, the ambitious young |
violinist, whom the world does not
want because, having genius, he has
no name. hungry for the cnanee
which is so long in coming, knowing |
his unrequited power and the knowl-
edge rendering him sometimes cyni-
al, loving with an honest heart, kind !
even to stray ours, true 20 the MEM !

This production is being advertis-

II is an American comedy on a back

Latin countries have their lottery,

Wall street, a panorama of those in

billions, which ride to ruin or glut
with gold thousands a day.

ny Is excellent, even 20 those minor
roles Of servants. But overlapping
everyone, Ernest Stallard, as Antno-
ny, the fellow of entomology, stands
out eonspicuously in the cast, the
very contrast of his more subdued
methods being to his advantage. He
has an exquisite character part, and
in expression, voice and manner, hui
NOR seemed to exude from him. His
way of saying why not? Why not?"
never failed to bring a laugh.

opportunities as MajorArchie Phipps,
the meddlesome uncle. Ann Warning

Mr.. Tim Murphy is TO appear at

and night. when he will be seen here
for the first time in his latest Gre
alton, Col Jim Johnson, the South
American coffee king, in owen Davis
dramatization of Cyrus Townsend
Brady's delightful story, "a Corner

pure and simple, but no character
that Mr.. Murphy portrays. however
amusing and fancifully spun. is lack
ing in the human qualities which give
verify and balance. So 1t is not sur
prising to hear that Mr. Murphy
makes the old colonel a figure Of
as well as humor, virile
as we'll as funny, and sometimes
touches the wells of teaes as surely
as he does the springs of laughter
Since the deaths of Joseph Jefferson
and Sol Smith Russell there remains
no one who portrays the honest
growths of our native soil with so
subtitle an appreciation of the April
weather of human nature as Tim
Murphy. Strength without neroics,
sympathy without sentimentality,
laughter without buffoonery, have
marked this artists career of splen-

"AII-of-a-sudden Peggy"

"AIi-of-a-sndden Peggy"
Miss Henrietta Crosman's popu-
larity in Paducah was given an i'm
petus by her appearance last night
in her latest. "All-of-a-sudden Peg
gy." The piece is so far ahead of
her adaptation of the "A Scrap of
Paper" in which she appeared last
year. and the role Of Peggy is so
much more becoming to Miss Cros-
man, that her admirers were delight
cd. The role and the situations af-
ford unlimited scope for the display
of those fascinating qualities, which
are the foundation of Miss Crosman's
reputation. In the character of the
romping, happy Irish girl Miss Cros-
man is at home, and her pretty smile,
infectious laugh, and merry eyes,
make her the ideal for such imper-
sonations. The piece is a farce and
it goes with a dash and vim that
keep the house in an uproar. Peggy

Roseau county is up in arms on
account of the failure Of the Great
Northern TO construct the promised
extension of..its line from Greenbush.
Many of the settlers have lived there
Is years or more and during all
that time they have been waiting
patiently for the railway to come.
They have worked hard to improve
the country, handicapped as they
have been by Door transportation
facilities. The land is fertile and
the entire county is we'll settled by
an industrious and Intelligent class
of people. 1t is a question of there
is in the whole United States a
county as populous and prosperous..as
Roseau, yet without necessary rail
way facilities.for transporting their
products to market. The lack Of a
railroad has retarted the county's
progress to quite degree, and it Ris
no wonder that the residents Of the
county are greatly disappointed be
cause the railroad that has been
promised is not built. IT the farm
sers and business men had gotten TO-

The village of Greenbush must
have a backnumber Of commercial
club. An enterprising young man Of
that locality went west a few years
ago, worked hard at his employment,
and saved his money which he in
vested in an automobile and then re-
turned to Greenbush, where he start
ed an automobile stage line to
Roseau. The new line. became. very
popular with the travelling men, who
are making the Roseau country, as it
saved them a great deal Of time and
was much more comfortable than the
old horse stage, and money COM
menced to flow into the pockets Of
the young proprietor. But this did
not suit the old fogies Of the COM
mercial club, who passed a resolution
threatening to. boycott all wholesale
houses whose drummers patronized
the new transpo rtation line in pre-
ference to the horse stage or the
livery rigs. Not many jobbing
houses will heed the wishes of this
antedilu Wan commercial club, but will
rather instruct their representatives
to use the new mode of Transports
tion on what is the finest natural
road bed in America, the Roseau

The Swedes take Just pride in theil

slow in giving the Swedes due credit
But the Swedes have been satisfied al
last, even on that score, and the Swed-

Kristiania daily: Tt cannot be denied
that our Norwegians have much ia
learn from the Swedes at this exposi-
ton. In the first place, the SWedes are
able to display their exhibits with ex,
ceedingly great taste and to place the
objects In such a way that they become
conspicuous. But above everything else

A Stockholm contributor to a Ham-
burg paper states that preparations are
being made in Sweden for a reconcilia-
ton between Sweden and Norway. The
golden wedding OF. King Oscar is to be
made the occasion for this event. The
aged king will resume the reins of gov
eminent, and upon doing SO he will
speak word Of peace to the two
countries. King Oscar is said to have
become alarmed for the independence

tivate mutual suspicion.
The Berlin Post recently contained
an Inspired article in which 1t is set
forth that no political step can be ta-
ken towards neutralizing the Baltic
sea without the consent Of Sweden. II
is further said that the dissolution Of
the union of Sweden and Norway did
not weaken Sweden as military
power. On the contrary, the dissolu-
ton Of the: union has probably aroused

Many years ago Warren did get
up very good public celebrations .-of
memorial day. A number Of the old
soldiers, who were with us then, have
either gone to join the roll call on
the other shore or have removed to
other localities, and as few of the
veterans never relished the idea of
the younger element taking lead in
getting up these exercises. the GUS
tom Of observing the day FINALLY
waned. But we do not sbelieye this
ought to be SO, even though there be
very few veterans. to take part. The
great object of memorial day is not
to glorify the old soldierssbut to. in
still patriotism and love of country
into the hearts of thesrising genera
tion. The boy or girl who takes
part in a memorial celebration will
become better citizens for so doing.
1t is not for the dead but for the
living that the day should be OBJ
served. We all need to have recount
ed to us the deeds of valor, the
suffering and sacrifice Of those who
saved the Union, in order that we
may be stirred to more earnest per-
Torrance Of our duties as citizens
of the republic. Great battles. for
political and social welfare remain
for us to fight. and in their way re-
quire just as much bravery and
sacrifice to successfully combat.
