of the Arabian Sheik Ilderim, with it's barbaric splendor; the interior of the Roman galley, with it's horde of chained slaves; it's capture and shpwreck; the raft of Arrius battling with the angry waves in mid-ocean, and the rescue, will be found strangely realistic scenes im- bued with living quality as shown on the stage in this drama. The river scene by moonlight in the orchard of palms, with the beautiful Egyptian Iras reclining in her barge and drifting down the silver waters to the soft music of her tyre, would be fitting setting for that other beautiful daughter of the Nile Cleopatra, who long ago charmed the Roman An tony into forgetfulness of faith and duty.
 The appeal of "Ben-Hur," however. is not to the eye and ear alone but to the heart. Through all the wondrous beauty of this vivid portrayal of the eXcllng incidents of the time of the dawn of Christianity the plain, simple story of the Man of Calvary" is brought home with all compelling force The star of Bethrehems the lonely desert, the ador- ation of the wise men, the heart-throh- ping tale of the meeting of the Christ with Hur, the greetings of the great il.-.- titude with the waving of palms on the Mount of Olives, and the final miracle of the cleansing of the lepers, are some of the incidents of" "Ben-Hur' which sep arate it from otlor plays and make 1t stand anort from all other attractions of the theatre.
 While the spectacular features are phe- nomena1, the atmosphere Is most reNer- ent. Surely no one can leave the theatre after witnessing the play without feeling that his thoughts have been lifted to higher plane or without carrying away an impression more enduring than that gained by the mere pleasing of the eye.

Cecil spoouer nt Biiou

The new play, "The Fortunes of Bet ty,' that Miss Cecil Spooner Is being presented in this year, Is a rural play of New England life in one of the small villages. Of the art of Miss Spooner too much cannot be written. As an emo tional actress and comedienne, her ver- satility classes her in a position of her own. She being a dainty bit of fem ninity, whose emotions rest at her fin- ger tips, where, as a harp, the winds of her soul plays at will and she can smu- late in tone and quick succession the smiles and tears of life in a realistic manner, and in the same breath. She is a little woman, who can play any line of parts, from Shakespeare's tragedies to farce comedy. with the same ease she would modern part.
 Those who have seen her in the title role of Betty" in her latest production, "The Fortunes of Betty" say the result is fitting vehicle for her marvellous ability. A specially selected cast has been engaged to support Miss Spooner, each and every one faithfully representing their type of character.
 'The Fortunes of Betty" will be the at traction at the Bijou theatre Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday and Saturday nights, and for the matinees Tuesday and Saturday For the other three perform ances of the week the company will pre- sent Miss Henrietta Crossman's roman tie drama, "The Sword of the King which will be seen at the matinee Thurs day and at the evening performances on Thursday and Friday.
 Complete stage appointments are car ried for both productions, 1t requiring a special carload of scenery and electrical effects for each production. They will be produced with the usual care of Miss Spooner's managers, and great attention will be given to the details of the pro auctions.
 Two different plays afford the greater opportunity for Miss Spooner to show her versatility. She essays two parts that are as radically different as two parts could be. One Is that of strand ed theatrical woman who comes to the rescue of her father, who is in trouble; and the other Is a romantic part

He quets the screams of the girls and assures them he was compelled to flee to their apartment for protection and that in order to be on the safe side he intends to remain all night. As he refuses to get out by the door, the girls compel him to cross the air shaft to ma next building by means of a thin wooden shelf This is but one of the manly humorous incidents the clever play wright has introduced into the three acts of the comedy. For character there are three man haters. only one of whom, however. Is sincere in her intentions; the girl elocutionists across the hall, who sees good qualities in every male that appe&<.i on the scene; the drunken janitor; the bachelor office clerk and others. That the three girls finally succumb to the charm of the sterner sex goes without saving. but their efforts to resist and the gradual desertion of the man-hating standards form a quick succession of amusing comedy sceneA and clever dia- logue.

PLAYHOUSE GOSSIP


 More than 60 persons appear in the thrilling courtroom scene of Madame X,' the powerful emotional drama which Henry w. Savage will offer at the Shu- bert theatre on December and G.
 This scene represents faithfully to the very last detail murder trial in a French Assize court, with all the couleur locale. the picturesque costumes, the pre- else and impressive formalties and novel incidents shown in high relief. Madame X'' is the dramatic sensation of the civ iiZed world, having remarkable triumphs to its credit in Paris, New York, London, Berlin and score more world cities. It is the work of Alexandre Bisson, famous among Parisian dramatists, and its pres entation in this country is made by Henry w. Savage. Mir. Savage will offer the drama staged exactly as in New York, and with a metropolitan company of( rare excellence l
 Lew Dockstader and his "Twentieth Century Mnsterls," now under the man. agement of the Messrs Shubert, will be the attraction at the Shubert theatre soon, with a minstrel show fashioned along lines different from any ever of fered here. In the cities where Mir Dock stader and his notable aggregation have appeared thus far he has been extensive ly complimented for presenting an inno- vation as well as an agreeable surprise to his numerous admirers.
 The rise of the curtain brings into view the "Possum Hunt Club Revue" showing the terraced lawn of the clubhouse oc- cupied by the members seated at tables during a reception of the colored organi- zation. The old idea of the singers and the orchestra assembled on the stage has been preserved but in this instance it forms part of the story, and Dockstader daringly claims that the plot around which the jokes, songs etc, are grouped is just as logical as the average frame work of present-day musical comedy. Regarded from the viewpoint of the country at large the great musical event of the season, and of many seasons. for that matter, is the organization of the Bessie Abbot Opera company The pur- pose of this organization is to supply the United States as whole. and Canada as we'll with d grand opera company oi magnitude comparable with that of inc great companies that make their perma- nent homes in New York and Chicago
