If one we're TO stop and anaiyze the
work OF Frank Daniels In any OF the
musical absurdities that he has given
TO the public in the last half dozen
years no would be at a loss to discover
just why Mr.. Daniels has such a strong
hold on the theater-going public. He
would never win any medals In opera
and If he essayed straight drama he
would probably be presented with a
large collection Of vegetables.
But when II comes to perpetrating
nonsense IN a so-called comic opera,
OF the sort that has been much in vogue
during the last few years, he shines
as particularly bright star in the the
atTical armament. and for the want Of
q better reason one viii have 20 blame
1t on that face and figure" Mr.. Dan
iels Is no stranger TO Washington and
he was given cordial welcome at the
Columbia last evening, when he opened
in The Tattooed Man"
HIS new vehicle, while the same IN the
main, differs considerably in detail from
his former productions. II anything IL
IS much more elaborately staged, has
more real singing, and, because OF the
Persian setting, the costuming is richer
ana more picturesque than the Offering
OF the last few seasons. Like most OF
Its kind, the production has no plot
worth speaking Of, and a microscope
would be needed 20 discover what II is
all about
1t is sufficient to say that il introduces
Mr.. Daniels frequently during the two
acts In absurd fits Of nonsense and two
or three singers with more than or
dinary voices. Mr.. Daniels appears as
Omar khayaIn, jr.. who IS the tattoOed
man. AS is the case each year, he
fathers few brand new Jokes ana lets
loose a lew others not so new, but ex-
cellentiy made over and freshly var
nished
William Danforth, as AbdaIIah. the
arch enemy Of Omar and rival for the
hand OF Leila, Is particularly good. He
has a good voice and does what is re-
fecuve and makes him a good foil for
The star. Harry Clarke is clever, but
has little to DO outside OF his one song.
IN this he gives a few limitations that
are really clever and will eventually
put him IN the Elsie Janis and Miss
Janseu class His best are those OF
Montgomery and Stone In the RED
Mill." and George VI. Cohan-
OF the women the houors lie among
three, Miss Julia Brewer, as Leila:
Miss Nora Kopp, as Omar's daughter
Alma and Miss Louise Sylvester, a.
Fatlme, a wall flower. The first two
named have straight singing roles, pos.
sess good voices, and are pleasing. Miss
Sylvester has a difficult character role,
and gets away with II In splendid style.
Her singing OF Because Nobody Loves
Ne" was especially good
AS usual, Mr.. Daniels has surrounded
himself with a chorus that Is well above
the ordinary. not only in face and hg-
ure, but IA singing ability as well.

william, ideals at Lvceum.

The attraction this week at the
Lyceum is Williams Ideals" The
company is composed Of a number Of
clever comedians and a big chorus Of
good-looking girls. who present a laugh
provoking entertainment in dialogue and
tuneful music. The two. burles1ues, "A
Day at the Beach" and The Isle of
Mault,'' contain many laughahle situa-
items. The play affords Jack e Magee,
Jack Gruet, Frank Murphy, and Miss
Ruth Everett opportunities for a dis
play of their talents
The olio is fairly good. Frank hIur-
ply and Jack Magee, as philosophical
comedians. and Perren Somers and
Tillie Storke, in their one-act playlet,
"Jackson's Honeymoon" are enjoyable.

the orchestra, which struggled manfuIly
to be heard.
Washington saw and liked Brown Of
Harvard" last year. and from the ap-
plause accorded Mr.. woodruff and his
associates at the end Of each act it
would seem that neither the star nor
the pretty little sto-y Of Mrs. Young
had lost any Of its popularity. The
play tells two love stories, one OF
which combines the downfall Of a stu
dent. and brings into each scene an
atmosphere Of college life that is Who'll

songs at the opening Of the second act

THE TOWN OF BLYTHE
New Mining Camp Presents a
Busy Scene.

The construction work on the
switch to the Thompson & Walker
mine and me new town of Blythe, 10.
Gated northwest of Curriers' mill, be-
ing built by the Rock Island Railway
Co., is practically completed. Bal
lasting and surtacing will have been
completed within the next ten days
and the road will be opened for traffic
The switch was started this spring
and is nearly three miles long. 1t
leaves the line of the Rock Island a
short distance on the east side of the
railroad bridge over the South Skunk
river, and proceeds through the big
hill east of the Currier mill and goes
through the hills for nearly a mile
more, where it again comes to the
prairie. The biggest cut is near the
mill where the track goes through
the big bluffs.
The new camp, named Blythe, in
honor of James Blythe, the well
known railway attorney, which is 10
Gated conveniently for the mine, is
building rapidly. The store has been
erected and quite a neat little town
has sprung into existence. About
twenty-five miners and their families
are now living at the place, and as
soon as the switch is completed the
number will be greatly increased. The
work in the mine Is progressing in q
satisfactory way. The present output
of the mine is hauled by wagon. AS
soon as the switch is in operation the
Rock Island company has agreed to
handle one hundred and fifty tons
per day.
