ANALYZING BECKY SHARP

Pitt Crawley They are queer people, the Pitt Crawleys, and Pitt Crawley himself is a monster such as only Thackeray can paint But Becky Sharp has sized up the situation perfectly, and having made up her mind that a marriage into the bar onet's family would be an excellent thing for a penniless and obscure girl, she i'm mediately sets herself to bring 1t about And why not?" asks that young lady, ''as I have no mamma to hunt ana cap ture a husband for me, like other girls, why should l not hunt and capture nm myself?"
 Though Becky Sharp was not beautiful. beautiful women were consumed With envy of her. Her hair was sandy and, though Thackeray does not say so, we may be sure that so clever woman knew how to make the most of it. Her eyes were green clear, unmistakable greeh' and Thackeray tells us distinctly and re- iterates the information times without number, that she made a fine art of the use of those eyes So well. in fact, did she use them, that one by one all the members of the family at Queens CraW- ley the baronet's ancestral seat, had fa1l- en under their spell, including the younger son, Rawdon Crawley, dissipated young dragoon. Already anxious relatives were taking steps to remove the dangerous governess from the infatuated family,
 
 died; within 12 hours of which event, and ere the poor lady had been laid In the family vault, we find the widower, Sir Pitt, on his knees to Becky Sharp trying to persuade her to become the third Lady Crawley. This Becky Sharp would have been only too delighted to do, but, "Oh, Sir Pitt" cried the poor girl, T cannot marry you, because-because l am al- ready married"
 When Sir Pitt discovered who it was the sly little governess had married-for who should 1t be but his own scapegrace son?--his rage knew no bounds.
 But none of these misfortunes or sights in any way daunted clever Becky Sharp, who had brilliant career mapped out ahead of her. She would not allow her stupid and honest dragoon to quarrel with his family; on the contrary, she cultivat- ed them for, literally, all they were worth. "They will be of use to us some day, she said. And so they were. Becky Sharp never lost sight of the main chance. It was the marvel of all their acquaint- ances in the world of fashion and lux ury in which they moved, how the Raw

" and Jessie Hayward and Lew Pistel will show some novel situations interlaced with uproarious fun, and the Great Hugo who stands unchallenged as the most skillful and sensational of cannonball jugglers and weight-lifters. Those are all exceptionally strong attractions but there are several other features on this bill which should prove more than ordi- narily effective. Chester and Grace are a boy and girl team who sing and dance well and who wear some stunning cos tunes, and Will Dockary the noted 'Jer- sey Boy" is a prime blackface monologist and singer In the line of acrobatic com edy, the two Garnellas, in their skit, My Brother Johnny" will furnish b minutes of refined entertainment. The show will close with some of the latest motion pie lures, ending one of the best and most pretentious offerings of the season
 Willie Harris and Joe Niemeyer and Those Shop Girls are in the cast of 'Izzy's Busy day at the Store" which is a mus ical comedy success. Willie Harris, who is famous as composer of popular songs and a comedian, will be the princi- pal funmaker, and he will be ably as- sisted by Joe Nemeyer, a dancer, and the four shop girls. These girls are good singers, swell dancers and good looking, a combination hard to beat at any stage of the game. Harris takes the role of the smart Hebrew who is the proprietor of the store and Joe Nierneyer is the ubiquitous clerk. Several of Willis Har- ris' latest song successes will be sung.
 ''The King of Blaskwells' is com edy skit, there being six characters en- acted for four people, namely, Harry Hay ward Lew Pistel, Jessie Hayward and Harry Armstrong. It is a one-act play let in two scenes, the plot hinging around incidents in Paris. Special drop curtains and pretentious property adjuncts facil1- tate the novel interest which never flags for an instant The play has been a success on the Keith & Proctor and the Orpheum circuits.
 Hugo is the perSonification of abnormal strength He figures as the Roman gladi- ator and his stage setting represents an ancient Roman stadium. Hugo juggles large cannonballs as If they were play things, and so they are to him, and he toys with an immense steel torpedo as If it were a giant toothpick. Another startling exhibition is the balancing ot huge Roman chariot on his chin. The act is simply in class by itself and will be as sensational as it Is interesting.
 Chester and Grace are boy and girl team of fancy dancers and singers Both are remarkably handsome youngsters and their performance will please the young people greatly. Master Chester and little Miss Grace have an elegant wardrobe and look particularly swell In their new toggery. Their cake walk is knockout and their cute ways always please.
 '"The Jersey Boy,' as Will Dockray IS known all over the northern section of the United States, is a blackface come dian of original methods. He has line of talk that is his own and his songs and parodies are his own composition. Dock

 Uncle Ransom,' said the planter, "you rode my best horse 20 miles to that fes- tival Saturday night; you kept him out all day Sunday and nearly killed him Sunday night. How many times have I told you to let my horses rest on Sun day?"
 'Yes, suh, Marse Robert dat's so, but"
 How many times have I told you if you didn't quit that, you and I couldn't get along together on this placer
 Dat sho' is the trufe, Marse Robert. You pintedly tole me dat-but you knows a nigger, he jes' nacherly forgits.
 Every negro on this place believes that he can do exactly as he pleases.
 ''Dar now, bless Gawd, you sho' spoke a parable; desc young niggers is gittin' mighty trilin'."
 Ut has come to this. Ransom: Reveille Is not big enough for you and me. To- morrow morning we part; you go your way and go mine.'
 '.Yes suh.'
 The old negro looked sorey troubled and bewildered. He glanced over his shoulder at the rippling lake, the open cotton, the perfectly level fields. Ransom had been born on Revelle and had never known any other home. His heart went out in supreme pity for the man who had to leave it.
 Well, Marse Robert, eff we jes' can't git along together--ef wes jes' boun' ter separate, would you mind tellin me whar'- bouts you 'spscts ter go?''

O,Rrien's Opera House.

This popular place of amusement has been renovated and redecorated. Man ager McArdle announces the opening of this new aspirant for the public's ap- proval in the amusement line on tomorrow afternoon with matinee. Ladies will be admitted free on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday.
 The new playhouse will be opened to fill a desire on the part of the public for a 10-cent vaudeville performance. The the atre will be conducted along the lines of the 10-cent vaudeville and moving picture theatres in the large northern cities where the very best vaudeville is offered for 10 cents. Refined moving pictures will also be put on at each performance. The play house has been specially fitted up to make it cool and comfortable during the hot summer months. The new venture will cater especially to ladies and children. There is distinction between this theatre and the usual moving picture theatres where moving pictures and cheap vaude- vile with a continuous performance are offered. In this theatre it is said that only high-class acts will be seen, there being five in every weeks bill.
 The opening bill is as follows: Mabel Valentine Moore in a sensational flying trapeZe act, performance that has re- ceived much. attention on the vaudeville stage; Sanford and Darlington, presenting a farce comedy sketch that is said to be scream; Violet Moore, the petite little artist in singing and dancing act; Bar row and Milo. novelty acrobatc and strong act, and the beautiful and accomp- lished Hazel Drew, the illustrated singer
 The doors will be opened Monday aft ernoon at AS o'clock the curtain to rise at 2 and the afternoons entertainment to close at o'clock. The night perform ance will begin at and close at 10:3O. The best seats in the house will be sold for 10 cents.

BARROW AND MILO. Novelty Acrobats at the o'Brien Opera House.

don Crawleys managed to live They had, as Thackeray puts it, nothing year, and yet Mrs. BeclSys gowns were the handsomest and her dinner parties the smartest in London.
 For, in spite of all the damning evi- dence to the contrary, the average reader must always feel, with Thackeray, a little doubtful as to Becky Sharp's ever having been specifically immoral or unfaithful to her marriage vows That she was crooked in every other way we have got to admit. We know that for years her and Rawdon's only visible income was derived from what they won at cards from the guests at those brilliant little dinner parties already mentioned We know that she was an awful hypocrite and that there was no lie she would hes itate to tell if 1t would help along the cause of Mrs. Rawdon Crawley. We know too that she literally stole the laces and brocadeS she wore when she was last presented at court and that as mother she neglected little Rawdon Craw- ley, Jr., quite as shamefully as certain modern mothers.
 Nevertheless, one has to admit that it is severe tax upon ones credulity as well as ones charity-that great denoue- nent where poor Rawdon Crawley comes home from jail, where lie has been flung for debt and finds his adored and be- loved Becky covered with jewels and giv- ing ear to the passionate protestations of the infamous and powerful Lord Steyne.
 The discovery of his wife in the drawing room with Lord Steyne on that fatal night, was, under the circumstances, too much for even such an indulgent and trustful husband as Rawdon Crawley to forgive, and in @ tremendous scene he tears the priceless jewels gifts from the mighty Lord, from his wifes neck and breast and arms and filings them in Steyne's face, and that is the last of Becky Sharp.
 The moral of all which is that the way of the transgressor is hard even when the transgressof is as brilliant and clever as Becky Sharp.
