Academy of Music c-Klaw & Erlauger's
production of Rex Beach's Alaskan story, THE
Barrier" which will be presented at the
Academy of Music. Baltimore, for New Years
week. commencing Monday, December q,
with matinees ON Wednesday and Saturday,
is full of dramatic incident, and vein of rO-
nance dominates the entire play from begin
ming to end. 1t is refreshing in tone-like
breath of clear air and the free life of vast
new country. Naturally, the chief characters
of play of this type are men of adventurous
spirit, wanderers in search of wealth or ex-
citement but it is of another type, so foreign
to the prevailing one that the contract is
almost startling and unquestionably serves
most advantageously to bring about conditions
most favorable to the development of an un-
usual plot. Captain Burrell U. s. A., is a
Southerner with family traditions to uphold
Despite his many temptations to depart from
the ways of his forefathers, he proves as brave
and dauntless in love as in war, and that he is
a successful lover is fact that the playgoer
ure of an equally charming lover, the French
Canadian, 'Poleon Doret. The woman of the
story is in every aspect worthy of the adora-
ton so abundantly showered upon her, and
there is every logical reason for her bringing
about the commotion in the mems hearts for
which she is responsible. For the week of
January the attraction at the Academy will
be Klaw & Erlanger's Chicago Auditorium
production of Gen. Lew Wallace's Biblical
drama, ben -Hur.' 1t is claimed that this is
the most elaborate, magnificent and histori-
cally correct presentation OF this spectacle, or
play call it what you will, that has been put
on the stage.
Spirit Play at Auditorium. those
who believe there is life after death Miss Cora
Maynards latest play, "The Watcher" will
make an instant and strong appeal; The idea
is in line with spiritualsm, and those who see
the play will rejoice in witnessing dignified
exposition of their belief as to Immortality.
The production, under the management of
Sam s. and Lee Shubert, will be seen at the
Auditorium theatre this Christmas Day
matinee and evening" In view of the wide
spread faith in spiritualism, to say nothing
of the belief of millions in the life everlasting,
it is an odd fact that no writer previously has
drawn upon this rich field for a foundation
for play. Doubtless the delicacy required
in handling such subject acted as deterrent,
for it can be easily seen how simple it would
be for play to lapse into rank melodrama
affording no moral. That Miss Maynard
escapes this pitfall is to her credit. The cast
is said to be one of sreat merit.
Big Bore Bores Lutherviile.-The types
made The Union-News say last week that the
artesian well at Lutherville had been aban-
doned after being bored 10 the depth of $50
