Theatergoers of this city may always
rely upon a production of the highest
artistic worth when Otis SINNERS
name is attached thereto. He comes to
the Gennett Tuesday night with a new
play, your Humble Servant" which
represents the joining efforts of those
brilliant young dramatists, Booth Tark-
ington and Harry Leon Wilson. The
play is described as a romance of
stage life and Mr. Skinner will be
called upon to essay an itinerant
tragedian who heads a small troupe
playing through the country towns.
Although the humorous element is
said to predominant in the play there
is an undercurrent OF sensational in
terest and judging from the forecast
of the story of Your Humble Serv-
ant" it is thoroughly modern in spir-
it and treatment The first act shows
with an abundance of graphic detail
the progress of a performance by the
troupe of strollers in a country opera
house. Lafayette Towers, the charac-
ter assumed by Otis Skinner, is
light-hearted philosopher, a fount Of
good humor, and a resourceful genius
who never says die. When the man.
ager absconds leaving them stranded
he uses his glib gift for oratory with
such good effect that he procures the
troupe transportation back to New
York on board a canal boat. The sec
ond act which transpires in theatre
cal lodging house is full OF piquant
incidents in which the artificial life of
the actor is curiously contrasted with
practical everyday existence. The ro-
nance Of the play is developed in a
surprising and novel way and the
third act which has it's locale in
New York mansion where fashiona-
BILE vaudeville performance is being
given. will enable Mr. Skinner to re-
veal fresh phases of his genius for &C.
centric comedy. The last act of the
play shows the dressing room OF
Broadway theater where the ward and
protege Of the wandering actor
achieves an electrifying success and
rewards her mentor and protector
with her heart and hand.

London, Nov. 13.-The bad old days,
when actors led unwholesome lives
and remained in bed smoking cigar
cites for the greater part of the day,
have gone forever, as far as the Brit
ish variety is concerned. Almost all
the leading actors in London today go
in for sine kind of sport of exercise,
and even the gentlemen of the cho-
rus" who are supposed to spend their
time drinking cocktails and other bad
limitations of American beverages in
the Strand, may be seen On the SUBJ
urban golf links any fine morning.
Mr.. George Alexander is able to
spare an hour or SO, two or three tines
a week, from his arduous duties as
actor-manager and member of the
London County Council to play golf,
and the other day he distinguished
himself against first rate players at the
opening of the new links at Hainault
Forest. which is the property of the
Council.
Mr.. Forbes Robertson spends every
week end playing golf and occasionally
has scull on the river. The best all
round actor-sportsman is Mr.. Kendall,
who shoots, fishes and rides, and now.
that he is about to retire from the
stage with comfortable little fortune.

favorite recreations.
Mr.. Cyril Maude is very good shot
and a good horsemar He is often to

who take little or no exercise beyond
an occasional ramble in the country.
He devotes his leisure to painting and
drawing.

At the MURRAY.

The management of the Murray has
succeeded in bringing together five all
star acts for this week that are bound
to fill the house at every performance.
The big attendance last week proved
beyond a doubt, that the people of this
city are fast beginning to realize that
for good clean vaudeville and enter
tainment, the Murray cannot be beat

bill, is the Famous Alpin Troupe. or
iginators Of the Aerial Double Wire
Act, the only act of it's kind in the
world The company is composed of
five, three ladies and two gentlemen
and their wonderful wire walking and
dancing and mid air manoeuvers hold
every audience spell bound They are
easily in a class by themselves. The
Four Lubins, in their singing and buck
dancing act are sure to become popu-
lar with the theatergoers of this city.
They are very extensively advertised
and never fail to make hit. The
company is made up of four, two
brothers and two sisters and their act
shows long practice and training. The
little girl that appears in this act, is
unusually clever for her age. Her
dancing is faultless and with an ever
ready smile she endeavors to answer
the many encores which she always
receives.
Gladys Sears, the girl with many
dialects. will entertain the audience
with an act of very clever imperson-
atoms Her limitations of Becky Co
hen and the Italian street girl. have
become very popular on the vaudeville
stage.
Cole and Coleman with their "Musi-
cal Nonsense" furnish. not only COM
edy and laughter, but some very
choicy music. The bill is from an all
around standpoint. as good as this city
has seen on the vaudeville stage.

thrilling dramatic scenes and situa-
