The document had scarcely been re

death was announced as having taken

CATION revealed that during the last
year of his life Mr.. Blount had become
possessed OF an overpowering fear
that his estate would diminish and
that Yale would not benefit by his
death 10 the extent he desired.
He Immediately began 10 live the
life. OF recluse and miser He sold
his country place at Gerrard's Cross,

and became so misery that even the
purchase OF papers was regarded as
an extravaganza.
When the Illness that finally result

| reluctance permitted a doctor to be
called He told this eminent Curzon-

MAUD ALLAN AND HER DANCES

American Girl Who Now wants to
Capture America.
LONDON, June 1~3.-(Special Correspond
ence.)-If Marc Klaw and Maud Allan
can come to terms in the near future you
in the United States will nave a chance
next fall of judging of the merits of this
remarkable young dancer. Curiously enough
although she is an American in the sense
thai she spent ten years of her youth In
San Francisco and considers the California
city her home. she has never appeared on
your side OF the water. She has been dane
ing for five years on the continent. where
she created a furore. but this is her first
appearance In England. So great a hit has
sho made that although she has already
been here three months the management
OF the Palace theater. where she is ap-
pearing. has signed her up to August
fore the king and queen and has attracted
all the other members of the royal family
to the big vaudeville house. Even the
clergy. which in some instances originally
objected to her introduction OF a property
head of John the Baptist into her "Salome"
dance, have been well represented in her
audiences.
Miss Allan tells me that she is anxious
70 appear In the United States, but that
there are many obstacles. Aside from
the offer OF Mr.. Klaw," she said. II have
had several offers from vaudeville houses.
Mr.. Keith was one OF those who made an
offer to me, but I do not think that 1 will

Coming Events.


A comedy with real fun arising from Jus
situations, in which a misunderstanolhs
leads to complications, and wherein cross
purposes come mighty near spelling a good
thing. will be the bill at the Boyd this
week, beginning with a matinee this after
noon. Director Livingstone of the Wood
ward Stock company has selected "A\Crazy
Idea as a play that will give the COM
many opportunity for the display OF Its
ability in the comedy line, and promises a
fine performance. The story Of the play
is that of an elderly husband who is un-
reasonably jealous of his young wife. He
also objects to the attentions being paid
his laughter by a young man. and inter
cepts a letter from his wife to the
daughters lover, and misconstrues its
meaning. To thwart what he supposes TO
be an intrigue, he decides to leave home
with his wife and daughter. and installs
his scapegrace nephew as I~aster of the
house. This young man. who is a medical
student when he works, but whose time is
mostly taken up in lodging his creditors,
inspired by the thought Of his colored
servant, takes in a miscellaneous lot of
dodgers, and has the house we'll filled when
his uncle Unexpectedly returns. The fun
that follows from the situations is con-
tinuous, and yet the events that follow
are logical. Each member of the company
gets a good character part. Mr.. Morrison
will be the nephew, Miss Fleming has the
role Of the opera singer and the others are
we'll placed. The bill will run all week.

choicest of the latest subjects turned out
by the manufacturers, and, best OF all, the
films to be shown at the W have
not been seen Ia Omaha. The pictures are
the largest to be seen in the city and the
program of the most generous length. The
difficulties which prohibited the pictures
from being absolutely clear and sharp at
all times have been overcome. as will be
seen by a visit to the popular Burwood
this week. The famous German synchro-
scope. the machine which produces sound
and picture in unison, VIII display during
the first half OF the week the vaudeville
act performed early in the season at the
Orpheum. that of the Great Adelmanp, the
worlds most noted xylophone soloist. This
number will be just as satisfying as though
one had paid a half donar to see the act
on a vaudeville stage The last three days
Of the week will find the Dixie Jubilee
troupe in the program. thanks to the
synchroscope. The illustrated songs and
auxetophone concerts will complete the
long bill. One may drop in and stay as
long as desired.
The offering at the Air Dome this week
will be the three-act comedy drama, Mi
randa.' Seth Swap, a Connecticut Yam
kee, takes a vacation to Cuba, and finding
things a trifle dull, determines to start
things" at once. Count Almonte. a Cuban
nobleman. determines to abduct Miranda,
the daughter OF a poor Cuban. The plot
is frustrated by the sharpness Of the Yam
kee, who outwits the plotters and delivers
Miranda TO her lawful lover. Miss Hayes,
whose past work has attracted much at
%tention. will play the title role, while Mr..
Hillman will have another character study
In the part of Seth Swap, The play will
be beautifully costumed. New vaudeville
turns will be given between the acts. in

view. One does not meet the audience

ceptional, for I believe IN no other vsude-

the two performances a day. My dances,

.
With the conclusion Of the Vedrenne-
Barker performances at the Savoy and Mr..
V~edrenne's subsequent business arrange
ment with Lewis Waller, which goes into
effect the beginning Of next season, we in
London who are interested in the drama
thought we had seen the last of a move
ment that has done a great deal for the
betterment Of the stage in England. Now
II seems that the movement has been
granted a new lease of life by the ar
rangement OF its two prime movers with
Frederick Harrison. Bernard Shaw's Get
ting Married. which he has called "a con-
versation," and which has been ripped to
pieces by the critics almost without excep-
tion. on Monday last took the place Of "A
Fearful joy in the night bill at the Hay
market. The latter play certainly was
fearful. but sad TO say, did not prove a JOY,
and Mrs. Langtry was compelled to with
draw il. Getting Married will run for a
fortnight at least and will be followe ed by
a new play from the pen Of Laurence Hous-
man. called The Chinese Lantern which
will also run for two weeks. During the
evening run Of Getting Married four spe-
cial matinees will be given OF a play called
Man. by John Masefield. and a one-act
play. Feed the Brute by George Pastor,
which were well received when presented
a week ago Sunday by the Pioneers society.
Just how lorg the arrangement between
Harrison and Vedrenne. and Barker will
last is a matter for conjecture. I suppose
1t is more or less a matter OF dollars and
cents, for Mr.. Vedrenne has already said
that he is through with producing plays
for the mere love of the work.

Frohman will visit Vienna, Paris, Berlin

London in ten days or so. His trip is taken

seemingly failed to appreciate the play.
