CHESTNUT STREET THEATRE.
"The Rose of the Rancho"


1.-THE Rose of the Rancho" the most
gorgeous of all the famous Belasco pro-
auctions, play which for picturesque
ness has never been excelled, will be given
its first presentation at popular prices by
the Orpheum Company at the Chestnut
Street Theatre, Philadelphia, this week.
The play is undoubtedly the most preten-
tious ever attempted by resident COM
pany, and its production by the Or
pheum Players will mark the organiza-
lions greatest and most triumphant &C
Movement. The proper Interpretation of
this beautiful romantic drama requires an
extraordinarily large cast, massive collec-
ton of picturesque scenery, brilliant cos
tunes and varied assortment of antique
properties which are difficult to secure.
But all these things have been taken into
consideration, and the Orpheum Players
are now busy equipping themselves for a
task which will call into play all their
skill and resources Stage Director Percy
Winter, who had hand in the original
staging of the play, gives assurance that
1.-The Rose of the Rancho" will be one of
the notable dramatic offerings of the year,
and In its Interpretation Miss Marion Bar
ney, who will play the title role, and Will
liam Ingersoll will appear to the best pos
sible advantage. The play is IN three acts
The first shows the garden of the old mis-
sion house-a scene In which the languor,
the drowsiness and the romance of Spanish
life are faithfully reproduced; the second
shows Sonora Kenton's home during the
betrothal festival-here one OF the most
brilliant spectacles ever seen on the stage
takes place-and the last act is on the
roof top, a scene which is unique in stage
creations. The original Belasco produc-
tion has been secured. In addition to Mr..
Ingersoll and Miss Barney. the cast will
include the full strength of the Orpheum
ComnanY.

Court.

Judge Horner expected to hear, on Fri
day, the indictment against James E
Weldon, who was charged with man
slaughter Weldon is native of tbs
West Indies. He had been working al
Riverside, and got into a quarrel with
some white men, one OF whom, Peter
Barry, he killed.
Weldon at first pleaded not guilty, but
on coming into court Fridry morning he
changed his mind and pleaded guilty.
Spencer Simpson made statement to the
court. He said the men had been engag-
ed in drinking and got 10 fighting. There
was evidently an intention OF putting
Weldon out of business, but he was too
good for them and whipped them all
When Barry got into the affair Weldon
was pretty well worn out, and fearing
that he would receive serious injury he
threw stones at Barry, one Of which struck
the latter on the head and killed him. Mr..
Simpson claimed that Weldon acted in
self defence.
Prosecutor Atkinson admitted the &C.
curacy of majority Of the statements of
the defendants lawyer. He took excep-
ton to that portion which claimed self
defence. Weldon, he said, did not re-
treat from danger as the law prescribes.
After throwing the stone which felled
Barry the accused did run away but it
was not to save himself from bodily dan
ger as much as 1t was to keep from being
arrested Prosecutor Atkinson thought
the penalty should be in accordance with
the crime.
Judge Horner sentenced Weldon to six
years In the state prison
