A First Lesson In DipIcnacy.

The state superintendent of public schools of Maine recently recalled story of his early life. which the Kennebec Journal prints. He distinctly remember ed, he said to an audience of Maine school ma ans, his first day in school. It was also his brothers first day, and they occupied seats across the aisle from each other
 It was in the afternoon when the young and pretty teacher came to my seat, placed her hand on my shoulder and asked, Don't you love me?'
 I was almost frightened out of my wits, but I managed to look up at her.
 No, ma ann I replied.
 She then went to my brother, directly across the aisle, and asked him the same question, to which he replied
 ''Yes, ma'am.'
 You may readily imagine which of us got the raisins from the pudding during that term of school All that l got l pounded out of my brother.
 I forthwith made up my mind that whenever that question was asked me again I would always reply
 "Yes, ma am."

The Four Huntings.

Manager Semon announces for this weeks attraction at the Bijou 'The Four Huntings" in their hilarious comedy con- ception entitled 'The Fool House. a three-act musical comedy with company of 40 people, mostly girls This will be new to the patrons of this popular theatre and is said to be perfect cyclone of fun from the rise of the curtain until the final fall.
 The scene is laid in a mad house, where everyone supposes that everybody he or she meets is insane, while in reality no lunatics appear in the play at all. Ex- cellent specialties are introduced By Miss Mollie Hunting and Tony Hunting. Lew Hunting, who leads that clever family in good work, is a big surprise to old-time theatre -goers who go again and again to see this young man do his funny stunts. John Hunting also lends his valuable as sistance throughout the play. Judging from what has already been heard of this attraction, it will be the hit of the season at the Bijou.
 "The Fool House. is a two-act musical play in which the four Huntlngs are star ring for their third successful year. It is an elaboration of their famous vaude- vile acrobatic comedy skit which is made the vehicle for the exploitation of some of the most wonderful acts ever seen out side of a circus. It is in itself comedy of no mean merit and besides Its topsy turvy characteristic has consistent plot with many dramatic situations. This en- gagement offers to the patrons of the Bijou style of performance that is unique and which, while classified as musical throughout, is entirely different from anything before seen under the name of musical comedy. The usual matinees will be given.

Great Production of "virglnius.'

James O'Neill's great scenic production Of James Sheridan Knowles masterwork, "VirginGs, will be presented at the Jef- ferson theatre Wednesday night. It will be given by a cast of players that are said to stand unrivalled in art, and this attraction has been anticipated with spe- cal interest by all students of the classic drama
 Despite the claims of musical plays. vaudeville and twentieth century comedy. MT. O'Nelil and his manager, Edgar For rest. feel confident that if the high class drama is properly staged and interpreted the old traditions of artistic acting will once more be as popular with the masses as with the classes. Through the untir- ing efforts of Mir ONell and a few other scholarly players the standard of the classical drama is again being raised t. a high pitch of excellence. O'Neil in making the selection of ''Virginiusa has lnaugurated his prospected series of the classics with a noble character of pe- culiar fascination to tragedians, pas and present.
 The passion, pathos, and the powerful dramatic passages and scenes with which the play abounds have intense interest
 The five scenes are 'full-stage" and without wings or borders, and comprise ] street in Rome, the home of Virginius, Roman forum and rostrum, a battlefield near the Tarpian rock, and d dungeon in the Tullianum prison.
 The costumes are historically correct of the period of 450 B. c. and are made by Freisinger of Vienna and New York f, om the designs of Miss Florence Lord Boughton of the historical costume de- partment of the Art institute.
 The scene is a complete innovation in all previous efforts in stage realism, being built on the panstereoramic plan.
 Fritz Weisse and Julius Dove of the Reisig studio, New York stand pre- eminent in their line and are the recog- nized scenic artists of classical subjects. Their reputation in Europe, especially at the Hof theare, Berlin, Germany, led Oscar Hammerstein to secure them for his entire repertoire of grand opera scenery at the Manhattan opera house. he first presentation of "Virginius'' was given at. the Lyric theatre, New York. September 16 before a crowded audience.
 MT. ONeill brings to BirminghaM his entire company and production as given n New York. Seat sale opens tomorrow morning at g o'clock.

and Tom McRae, in conjunction with Belle Wilton and Mayme Hennings can not be beaten in provoking hearty laughs They are give ample scope and oppor- tunity to show their artistic talent They are surrounded by quite a number of prominent s-vaudevillians who have the reputation of being the best of their kind. In fact, the entire production Is said to be one of the brightest burlesque hits of the year. It is overfiowing with nov city music and dancing. It is said to be a decided departure from the regula- ton style of sburlesque. It offers g new style of entertainment as thoroughly in teresting as 1t Is enjoyable.
 There are many bright. sparkling mu- sical gems in ''The Vanity Fair Big Ex- travaganza Co., and the costumes and scenic effects are set off to great advan- tage by numerous electrical devices.

DewoIf Hopper In "HappyIand.v '


 "Happyland, a delightful riot of color. music, witticism, brilliant dialogue, clever artists and sane and possible story are among few of, the characteristics of the gorgeous production in which De Wolf Hopper will be seen at the Jefferson theatre Thursday night. It Is said that MT. Hopper has never appeared to better advantage than in Sam s. and Lee Shu- bert's greatest comic opera offering which was raved over by theatregoers last year.
 The tall comedian and his resonant voice have been received with tremendous ac- laim by the lovers of light opera wherever "Happyiand'' has been produced-be greeted with crowded houses everywhere ''Happyland'' Is the work of Reginald do Koven and Frederic Ranken. The story begins IS years before the opening of the play when the King of Elysia forms a peace compact with the King of Altruria by which the Princess of Altruria is to marry the Crown Prince of Elysa. As there is no Crown Prince, but Princess Instead, the agreement is gross deception, especially as there Is neither Prince nor Princess of Altruria Many amusing complications ensue as each potentate Is compelled to substitute some one as his heir.
 The Crown Prince of third principal ity, having met the daughter-the real Princess desperately in love with her, and further increases the complex situation. It requires two acts of high ly amusing misunderstanding to straight en matters to every ones satisfaction. The music is of that brilliant, catchy kind that every one wants to sing or whistle. It jingles in your ears and you find yourself involuntarlly humming the breezy melodies. The management has spared no expense in the elaborate mount ing of the piece; the scenery being of gorgeous splendor, and the costumes a dazzling harmony of color and armor. The many effects are all as perfect as mechanical theatrical science can make them, and production complete in every detail is promised us when IN appyland' visits the Jefferson Thursday night.
