For the second week Of the summer sea-

George AIDES merry college comedy. 9TH
College Widow" The atmosphere of this
play is peculiarly appropriate at this time,
when schools are about to close for the
season and attention is again brought to
the boys and girls who attend, and es-
ecially to the widows" who are left be-
hind when the students go away for the
summer vacation. In the role of Jane
Witherspoon Miss Lang will have a part
that will enable her to repeat her triumph
of the opening week, while Mr.. Morrison
as Billy Bolton, the halfback, will get his
better opportunity of the two. It is a role
that gives him a fine chance for his capa-
city as a light comedian, and does not de-
tract from his ability to be a hero. The
others are well situated In the long cast,
for the entire strength of the company Is
represented, over thirty people appearing.
Mr.. Woodward is giving the reduction his
personal attention, and will present another
triumph equal to hat of The Rose of the
Rancho" which was one Of the best staged
dramas ever seen at the Boyd The first
performance of The College Widow will
be given on Sunday afternoon, and it, will
be presented each evening during the
week, with other matinees on Tuesday
Thursday and Saturday.

She Will Play in Great Outdoor Pro-

She VIII Play in Great Outdoor Pro-
ductiOn ut Harvard stadium.
Ten thousand persons will have an OPP
portunity of witnessing Maud Adams first
appearance as Joan of Arc in the stadium
at Harvard university on the evening of
June %. The bowl of the stadium will
be used for seating purposes and will give
the capacity mentioned above. AT this rate
Miss Adams will more than maintain her
record for playing to large audiences. All
that portion of the field and a large see
ton of the gridiron that faces the bowl"
will be used for the stage" The actors
will tread upon turf. A special scenic set
ting, adaptable to the stadium Is being
built under the direction of Ernest Gros.
In the matter of costumes Miss Adams
has the cooperation of John Alexander,
the artist. Under the critical eyes of these
two there was held a review at the Empire
theater, New York, last Sunday of more
than 1900 costumes, armor, etc. One thou
sand supernumerari will be employed by
Miss Adams. These will be in charge of
fifty super captains, and to dress them
there will be a small host of armorers,
costume masters and wardrobe mistresses.
Every essential necessary for the cos
tuning of this horde will be transplanted
to the stadium. In addition, Miss Adams
master electrician will install a complete
electrical plant in the stadium, sufficient
to furnish every requisite Of lighting
known to the modern theater, only on a
scale vastly larger than any hitherto con-
templated in America.
The qualities Of simplicity and native
grandeur that mark the passion play at
Oberammergau will characterize the per-
Torrance of Joan Of Arc" by Miss Adams
and her company. An English version of
Schiller's "Jongfrau Won Orleans will be
used The incidental music will be taken
in most part from Beethoven's famous
symphony, the "Eroica-"
To marshal and direct the large force Of
auxiliaries and to direct the performance
there will be employed ten stage man
ayers, one chief manager and over all
these a stage director. The auxilaries have
been separated in groups sufficiently small
for individual coaching and drilling, yet
large enough to emphasize their relation to
the whole. The actors will get their en-
trance cues by means OF signals on vari-
colored incandescent lamps, and the move
ments of the supernumerarles will be gov
erned in the same way.
The performance will be for the benefit
of the Germanic museum and will be given
under the auspices of the German depart
ment of the university. Miss Adams was
voted the use of the stadium by the presi-
dent and fellows OF the university last
December, and since that time Charles
Frohman's forces have been at work on
the details under her personal direction
After the performance on June p the whole
production will be dismantled and its varl-

marked attention, but others in the COM
pany were made TO feel they were among
friends. and all through the week, the
welcome extended. Then, too, Miss Lang
delighted her friends by giving ample proof
OF her development as an actor. She de-
served the applause given her. The appar-
ent intent of Manager Woodward to please
was shown by the excellent staging of the
play. No better mounted piece was ever
shown at the theater. The crowded houses
Of the week is a strong indication of the
favor which the efforts Of the manager
and company are regarded.
.
What a clever press agent can do for
a play is shown in the case OF "The Blue
Mouse" When Manager Burnam gave ont
his Interview in New York last fall. de-
nouncing five plays then running at
Gotham theAters as being indecent, he
named none. But the shubert publicity de-
partment eagerly grasped the i%nsinuation
that THE Blue Mouse was one of the five,
aand proceeded to deny the assertion in
such a way as seemed to confirm the allie
cation, never directly made. A company
was sent on the road, and press and clergy,
city officials, and others were deluged with
statements to the effect that in 9Th Blue
Mouse was nothing upon which OBJ
lection could be lodged on the score Of
morality. And much of this talk got into
print, and soon a question was extant as
to whether the play was really wicked.
Public curiosity once aroused, is never to
be satisfied, short of an investigation, and
so the Shuberts have reaped a golden re-
ward by sending the piece about from town
to town, merely to demonstrate that the as
sertions are correct. The play is not wicked,
1t is not immoral, 1t is not indecent; 1t is
merely stupid, and in some ways vulgar.
But its press agent is a wizard. And
