the Jewish character, who has record
of achievements in farce, musical COM
edy, drama and comic opera, will be
seen as the leading character in THE

agreeable story of modern life, rich in
quaint humor, punctured with wit, and
Illustrated with songs and ensembles

ton in which they are placed. The

Machines, much like the slot af-
fairs which sell chewing gum, are
now selling stamps in the tri-cities.
The stamps are the U. S. postage
stamps, too, and come out at the
beckonings of the nickels and dimes.
A dime brings out four 2-cent stamps
while a nickel brings out either two
2-cent stamps or four 1-cent stamps.

How Chevalier.
English Comedian.
Took to the Ais

In 1890 Albert ChevaIier was one of
dozen young men who were known
in London as clever comedians who
J appeared in the smart west end thea
tiers of that city and In the legitimate
drama as represented by the comedies
of Pinero and in adaptations from the
French stage. Known as an English
actor Of French parentage, of short
stature, with a smooth shaven, express
sive face and quick, observant eyes, he
then gave promise of being one OF the
rising young men Of the English stage.
When not playing In modern farces
and comedies he used to entertain his
friends at the Savage club in London
and at smoking concerts with songs,
the words and music OF which he wrote
himself, and which he sang as no one
else could sing them. Generally they
were burlesques on popular ballads of
a sentimental nature which he ridicul-
ed, but his most successful ones were
written in the dialect Of the coster-
monger OF White Chapel, the Covent
Garden market. and Mile End road.
His friends all thought them so clever
and amusing that he should do some
thing with them besides entertaining
brother professionals at 2 o'clock in
ithe morning, and some even dared to
ssuggest that he try the halls.
Mr.. Chevalier received this advice
lat first as John Drew would probably
receive the suggestion that he give up
hight comedy and try doing turn in
a burfesque theater, for the English
music halls of that period were not to
be compared with the vaudeville thea
tiers of America today.
He was finally persuaded by Edward
Terry to do turn at the London Pa
gilion.

sERNsTErN's EccENTRIcITIEs.

Henry Bernstein, author of "The
Thief" which Charles Frohman will
produce at the Grand, Davenport, Nov.
%, displays many of the eccentricities
as we'll as the powers Of genius.
Though a typical Partisan, Bernstein
is yet most superstitious, and his SUI
perstition takes many novel turns. For
instance, he has always insisted that
the title of any of his plays shall not
contain more than six letters, aside
from an adjective or an article, and
he will not content himself until he
has fixed upon title that contains the
mystic six letters or less. This is seen
in "The Thief" which in the French
is lie Voleur," and in the name Of his
subsequent plays, Samson" and rs
rael" Another oddly of Bernstein. is
the fact that in each of his plays he
insists that there shall be character
named "Zambault." 1t doesn't matter
to him what this character shall be, so
long as there is a character bearing
the lucky name of "Zambault." In
"The Thief he is a detective, in "Sam-
son" he is a negro.

Miss Rowland'S
Ambition is to
Wear Trousers

The feverish ambition of Adele Row
land is to don doublet and hose and
nlay Hamlet. Her second choice of
roles falls on Rpsalind in "As You Like
It" Running a close third is Portia
in 'eThe Merchant of Venice" In the
last play. however. Miss Rowland's de-
sires extend only to the courtroom
scene in which the fair Portia appears
as a masculine lawyers clerk, to the
undoing of Shylock.
Miss Rowland thinks she has mnde
a first step toward the realization of
at least part of her dreams in "Tbe
Flirting Princess" in which She &c
permitted for the space of 10 minutes
or so to wear mans attire and sing al
song called I'D Rather Look at You
Than Kiss Any other Girl" And those
who have seen the new La Sale farce
in Chicago say Vesta Tilley hasn't any,
thing to brag about when it comes tn
appearing in mans attire.
"That number is an idea of my own "
said Miss Rowland. when l started
as chorus girl had different ambi-
tions from most of the girls in the
company. They all wanted to play
Juliet, and that sort Of thing. But l
had seen Ellen Terry play Portia I'm
Henry Irving's Shylock, and made up
my mind that some day l would do
that courtroom scene. Then began
to read Shakespeare. have read all
the acted plays six or seven times, and
the height of my ambition is to do
Hamlet, aid next to that Rosalind
Portia comes third, and l care for her
only In the courtroom scene.
This business of singing and dane.
ing is all right, but it isn't serious
enough for me. / never really had to
act in all my life until 1 began doing
the Apache dance a few weeks ago.
and that is all pantomime. Musical
comedy is just all frolic for one who
plays in it. The real serious purpose
of the actress never finds its vent until
she gets doing serious things. OF
course it's far jump from I'd Rather
Look at You Than Kiss Any Other
Girl to Hamlet, but there's nothing
like getting start some place"

the natives, roads, animals, ETC., is
considered highly educational, while
his whole talk teens with interest.
He narrates many thrilling scenes and
adventures with lions, elephants, buff
faloes, snakes, crocodiles, etc, and no
greater praise can be given him for
his powers as an entertainer than the
many requests he has received to
come again" by those who have
heard him. His entertainment is pat

clergy, educators, and all the leading
citizens wherever he goes.

FAvoRITE PERFORMERS.

Mrs. Albert Ellison, who plays the
part of Betty" Weber, the prima dom
ma in the Soul of Music" needs no
introduction to the people OF the tri-
cities. She will be remembered by her
excellent work as Henrietta Budd in
the Sultan of Sulu." All who saw
and heard her at that time will desire
to see her again in her new role as
the talented concert singer. She plays
what is called the "ingenue" part in
the cast. George H. Owens, who was
so delightful in the character of Col
onel Budd In the Sultan Of Sulu,"
takes the part Of Alexander Stewart
in the Soul OF Music" He is emf
nently fitted for this part. He falls
naturally in to the attitude and ex-
pressions of the money loving father.
