human beings. There are three scenes
in the second act in which the dream
er is put through his PAGES, each of
which is a distinct scenic effect. The
black art and magical effects are pro-
duced by an East Indian fakir and a
former graduate from Kellar & Thur
ston's school of magic.
The second scene in the second act
'tin the clouds"-shows a beautiful
woman singing on the horn of the
moon, which occasionally is partly OBJ
scured by passing clouds. 1t is late IN
the third act before Hammond is fully
awake. He is then in the garden, APP
parently, of his old home in the coun-
try, but in reality is supposed not to
have moved from the couch in which
he originally went to sleep in the living
room of his New York house. The
transformation is brought about by
wave of Venus, who of course disap-
pears. In addition to Mr.. Dewey the
cast includes Hermine Stone, Mrs. Joe
Robinson Haywood, Eva Randolph, Ma
talie Jerome, William Hurst, l.. b.

which heads the Orpheum bill for the
week opening with Monday matinee,
October 49, 1t is presented by Rosario
Guerrero, a pretty Spanish dancer and
pantomimist, with the assistance or
Sig. L. Paglieri, and is entitled The
Rose and the Dagger" 1t describes the
visit during storm of the dancer to
the hut of bandit, who gives her un-
willing shelter Unwittingly she dis
plays valuable jewels, which he covets,
and he attacks her with dagger. She
charms him with her dancing, plays
upon his cupidity, exchanges the rose
she wears for his weapon, and stabs
himfo death. The action is said to be
rapid and vivid, and the dancing of
Guerrero affords a certain relief from
its intensity.

YOUR MINES

"He who struts his hour upon the stage
Can scarce protraot his fame through
half an age" DAVID Garrlck'
We are your mines; our task to dance
your pleasure,
Putting a face of joy on old and new;
To frame for oil your moods a fresher
measure.
Begging your grace to hear the move
ment through.
Our griefs may call us ere we leave
the stage;
So you be glad; we shall not mind
their rage.
We are your mines; our task to make
you tremble
with passions of a Caesar or Lear
To be too briefly all that we dissemble.
And then to pass beyond thought or
tear
We have our joys, but lightly let
So you be glad with what our pains
can show.
we are your mines; our task to thrill
before you
with sympathies you give us or with
hold,
To be the ministrants that shall restore
you
The glories that shall make your hopes
more bold.
We shall not care for titles, gold, or
lands
SO you be glad with brave applaud
ing hands.

ACTOR AND PLAYWRIGHT
IN INNATE ANTAGONIST

The scope for exercise of the creative
faculty as a rule is less in the actor
than in the dramatist. Roughly speak
ing, it increases for the actor in in
verse ratio to the quality of the play
with this undesirable result-that the
more powerful the actors become and
the less powerful the dramatists, the
latter will have to supply the former
with plays in which they can best eX-
hiblt their creative gifts. and in these
pieces the authors have little chance
for showing their own creative power.
There exists a kind of antagonism be-
tween the actor and the dramatist, and
it is injurious to drama that the actor
should have the upper hand.-West-
minister Gazette.
