Julius Steger at the Orpheum

Steger did admirable work in "A Dan
gerous Maid" and THE Man in the
Moon, Jr." He was then leading man
in Foxy Quiller" and "The Billionaire. ."
He spent one season with Marie Cahill
in Nancy Brown" and for two years
was one of the notable support that
surrounded Lew Fields in 1T Hap
pened in Nordland." The season of
19O6-07 Mr.. Steger became a s,ar fea-
ture in the leading vaudeville houses,
presenting a dramatic playlet entitled
THE Fifth Commandment" His beau
tiful singing voice, together with his
unsuspected dramatic ability in a part
so unlike anything he had ever ap-
peared in before, as we'll as the little
play itself, created a veritable sensa-
ton in every large city of America
from New York to Los Angeles, whence
he returns tomorrow, playing at the
Orpheum. Mr.. Steger's visit is espe-
cially significant this time in that he
will appear in a play, THE Way to
the Heart" adapted from the German
by Ruth Comport Mitchell of this city.

A CAT FROM MONTANA

Senator Depew was asked by re-
porter as he was having his luggage
examined last month if he had brought
any stories back from Europe
The genial senator laughed and re-
piled:
"Well, in the smoke room of the ship
I heard an interesting thing about
Montanan in Chester Chester, you
know, is walled. It's wide walls, on
which you could drive a horse, are ia
nous. You can circle the town on
them.
"But the Montanan knew nothing
about Chester. He had only arrived in
Liverpool that afternoon. And as soon
as he finished his quaint dinner he
said to the waiter in the quaint Ches-
ter inn:
"'What is the best way for me to
amuse myself here for an hour or so
before bedtime?'
"'Well, SIR said the waiter, it's
fine evening, the moon is full and
think you'll find a stroll on the walls
most enjoyable
''The Montanan, ignorant of the pop
ular promenade upon the wide walls of
Chester, thought he was being guyed.
He frowned at the waiter and said bit
terly:
What do you take me for? A tom
cat?"

TULIUS STEGER for the past ten
years has been a leading light in
- Americas operate world. Mr..
Steger was born in Vienna, but it was
in New York that he began his operatic
career, singing at all the leading thea
ters and gaining an immense following.
1t was the season of 1S93-94 that he
first came into prominence, accompany
ing Marie Tempest as her principal
support in THE Algerian" and The
Fencing Master" The year following
he sang the title role in His Excel
lency" at the Broadway theater, in
which he continued throughout the sea-
son of 1886 The summer of 1896 MI.
Steger was at the Casino in In Gay
New York." and that winter was with
Oscar Hammerstein's all-star cast in
Santa Maria at the Lyric theater
(now Criterion), and with La Falotoa
at the Casino. The season of 1897 1898
he was seen at Daly's in The Cessna,
etc, and returning to the Casino for

CALLED ON CARNEGIE

Andrew Carnegies philanthropy was
being praised on the piazza of an At
lantic City hotel to a Baltimore star
man.
Mr. Carnegie" said an aged Pitts
burg clergyman, sis as profoundly reli-
gious as he is profoundly charitable
All the same"
He smiled.
"NIr. Carnegie attended some years
ago one of my business mems weekday
services. Seeing him in the congrega-
ton, and unaware that he was not
used to praying extempore, L said, after
the first hymn:
"'We will now be led in prayer by
Brother Carnegie
"Mr. Carnegie arose, very red and
fustered.
"Let US engage, first of ALL he
stammered, in a few minutes of silent
prayer

and closed our eyes, and Mr.. Carnegie,

rake off her pilot-house and take down
her smokestack inside of a dozen shots,
I'm no judge of his skill. That fellow
dodn't serve on the Olympia for moth
ing"
The Sea CULTS craftsmanship is not
far behind that of our own boat re-
piled Fosdick. Jim Blackwell picked
up three or four men from the navy,
any one of whom could make splinters
of the bowsprit if they got within
reach. And yet it would be risky bust
ness to shoot in New York harbor. A
12-incher might cut a hole through
the town, clear to City Hall Park"
Let it, then!" exclaimed Van Tasel
Let it cut hole clear through New
York to the East river! Who cares?
Isn't the princess of more account than
all of New York? If we can save her
Ben, why not lombard the whole wat
er 'front.'"
Acting on the impulse, he sent an
other wireless message to the Sea
Gull, telling the captain to shoot until
he stopped the IbeX, if he had to burn
up New York.
Fosdck was still wondering what the
result of Van Tasel's rashness would
be, when a different aspect was put
on the affair by another wireless dis
patch that came from the Sea Gull:
Pursued the IbeX. She came to at
our command, off Staten island. Offered
no resistance, and submitted to search.
We went through her thoroughly. No
woman on board. Shall hold IbeX un-
der our guns until He'll Diver arrives.

Van Tasel read this telegram in
blank amazement. mo woman on
board!" he gasped, staggering under
the shock "What the devil does Mil
Ter mean by such nonsense? No wom-
an on board! What have they done
with Lucretia?"
Van Tasel leaned against the wall
of the wireless operators room for
support while he collected his senses.
Ben he said in moment, rallying,
IF Miller is right. we have been out
witted again. The king has got away
with his prey"
There was despair in his voice.
1T is impossible" said FOsdick,
"They couldn't have got rid of Lucretia
except by dropping her into the river
and that's not Leanders game"
you forget returned Van Tasel,
that the land is close by. He has gone
ashore with her. He has taken the
most simple course he could"
MILLER may be mistaken" suggested
Fosdick
mo" insisted Van Tasel, "he is too
careful a man. He, too, has spent
years in the navy. There are no doubts
in his wireless message. He puts 1t
squarely, No woman aboard We have
made the most idiotic blunder of all.
We have acted like schoolboys. We
have sent a wireless dispatch to the
Sea Gull to stop the IbeX, and the IbeX
itself has caught the message. We
have forgotten that kings beat would
surely have so modern a thing as a

ashore with the captive. Since the Sea
Gull has no cipher code we should have
kept still and given chase. once out
on the ocean, Ben, we would have
caught him"

"CONFUSED AND WRONG"

Henry E. DiXey at a dinner at the
Lambs said of an actor who failed in a
new part:
His idea of the part was so confused
and wrong that it reminded me of Fer
guson.
Ferguson, you know, aWoke one

know what studio suppers are-and
9roaned and muttered:
Dear me, what headache
"He screwed up his lips in disgust
The taste in his mouth was horrible.
He thought he'd have a look at his
tongue, and, reaching out for the hand
glass, he took up by mistake a silver
backed hair brush.
HE stared at the bristles a long
while then he shook his head and said:
'Fergy, my boy, you certainly do
need a shaVe.'"
Small talk often makes big trouble.
