A WOMAN AS cHANTECLER.
Maude Adams Tells How She viii In
terpret the Part.

Chicago, April 9.-Charles Frohman
has cabled from London confirming
the report that Miss Maude Adams
would appear in the American pre-
sentation of "ChanteCler," play the
role OF the cock, now being acted in
Paris by Guitry, the French TRACE
dian.
At the close of her present season
i'm Barries comedy, What Every Wo-
man Knows Miss Adams will begin
rehearsals of the Rostand fantasy, and
will have it ready for production in
the early fan. Until this message
came it was the general impression
that Otis Skinner would be Mr.. Froh-
mans selection for the role, although
Miss Aadms name had been mentioned
of the part of the pheasant, which is
! interpreted in Paris by Nine. Simone,
The manuscript was delivered to Miss
Adams this morning at the Congress
hotel. She will receive the scene mod
els and costume plates of the Paris
production soon.
Miss Adams declared that she had
already determined upon her inter
probation of the role of the cock and
practically had crystallized in her
mind the message the play contained
not only for the French, but for al
peoples, and, in particular sense, for
Americans.
AS played by Guitry, Chantecler is
"presque un dieu"-almost god. He
is a hero, creature of gravity, a
lover of beauty-a thinker.
Miss Adams idea of Chantecler is
that he is a composite of gravity and
gayety. The theme of the play, she
believes, is that one should do ones
work, even though it cost love ano
life. A mans work in "Chantecler'
is exemplified by the cocks vair
thought that it is he who, at the morn
ing's crow, raises the sun and lights
the world. He lives to learn, in 6
moment of distraction, attracted by
the rossignol (woman), that the sur
rises despite him. He finds that his
work is not so important as he thinks
but he persists just the same.
Miss Adams says that in her mine
"Chantecler" is a poetic lesson in the
doctrine of faith and hope through
work.

HE BEGINS WITH BASEBALL.
JeHries Starts His Training With the
National Game.


Jeffries Training Camp, Rowarden-
nan, Cal, April 9.--"Farmer" Burns
is the first man in the new noun
tain traing camp to sport black eye
and, strange as it may seem, it is
not from the impact of a glOved fist.
The farmer was hit by swiftly
thrown baseball while playing with
Jeffries and his nephews this morn
ing and the smoky wick" is the re-
suit. JEFF" did not so on the road as
was expected. The atmosphere of the
pine country had somnolent effect
on the big fellow and he remained
between the blankets until the morn
ing sun was high. When he did arise,
however, he busted himself. After a
hearty breakfast he called his crew
together and set them to moving the
grass on a patch of turf back of his
gymnasium. AS soon as this space
was cleaned off it was duly installed
as the baseball grounds and play be-
gan.
Jeffries plays ball. 1t might be
thought that baseball chasing is rath-
er mild pastime for a heavyweight
pugilist to do in training but it is
doubtful If JEFF" infuses as much aC-
ton into anything else he does. Play
continued for full two hours ana
before it was through Jeff fairly
dripped perspiration. He was stripped
to undershirt and pants and even his
clothing was soaked. What is more

was nearly lunch time before a halt
was called and while they We're pre-
pairing "Jeffs" broth he sprinted sew
eral times along one of the paths be
tween the cottages.
1t was given out that JEFF would
not engage in boxing until tomorrow
but for that matter it will be several
days probably before anything like a
program is followed.
1t is well known among those who
followed JEFF" closely in past train
ing that to him weighing machine is
a bugaboo. Up at Hardin Springs he
once said that for two pins he'd toss
the derned thing over in the canyon.
He likes to do plenty of work anC
feel that his frame and limbs are
cleaned of excess material. He avoids
the scales for fear they will inform
him that he is heavier than he thinks
"Dick" Adams, who has been "Jeff's'
crony for years, was asked by San
ia Cruz visitor if he saw much differ
ence in Jeffries appearance at presen
as compared with the Jeffries of thu

Interurban Looks Good.

Directors of the Norfolk CONNER
cial club have already taken steps to
ascertain the approximate cost of the
proposed interurban line between Nor
folk and Newman Grove and definite
figures are expected within a few days.
a meeting was held last night to dis
cuss the matter. The plan is regard
ed by Norfolk business men generally
as one highly feasible and one which
would mean a very great deal to the
southern portion of the county as we'll
as to Norfolk. Such lines in Illinois,
Iowa and other states east of here are
successful and it is believed the line
in this county would be at once pay

A Bias the Fly.

The season of the ubiquitous and in
iquitous housefy is upon us. The fly
spreads disease, pollutes our food and
is unspeakably filthy. 1t breeds in
manure and fermenting trash of any
kind. If there are no breeding places
there will be no flies. Let us make
an individual effort to keep the town
free from breeding places for flies.
All manure should, during the sum
mer, be placed in tiyproof boxes,
where there is not sufficient to have it
removed every few days. Every house
holder should have rat and f1yprooi
can for garbage. 1t will pay in dollars
and cents to keep clean and avoid dis
ease. j. II. Mackay,

On :: TIE Stage
A Good Show Next Friday.

The best laugh of the present theat.
rical season in Norfolk will come next
Friday when Henry h. Harris sends
an excellent company to the Auditor
ium in the famous comedy, THE
Travelling Salesman"
This show is considered by many
people as the best that was seen in
New York City last year. The original
New York and Chicago company
comes to Norfolk. 1t promises to be
one of the treats of the year and ad-
vance interest indicates that the at.
traction will be greeted by a packed
house.
Seats are now being reserved by
mail and the regular seat sale will
start Thursday morning.
Henry b. Harris, who is the pro-
Queer of this show, sent "The Lion
and the Mouse" and THE Third De-
gree" to Norfolk and for that reason
Norfolk knows that an extraordinary
lily high grade attraction may be ex
pected.
Story OF the Play.
The story of THE Travelling Sales
man" concerns Bob Blake, a jovial
drummer who is compelled to spend
his Christmas day in a lonely village
of the middle west, and on arrival
finds in the presence of Beth Elliott,
the ticket agent at the depot, a most
congenial person. They strike up an
acquaintanceship which soon ripens
into affection and for the first time in
mer discovers that he is enthralled
with the sweetness and beauty of a
charming young lady. Through her
he learns that she is about to lose
a tract of land, and he at once takes
steps to protect her rights, and there
by runs counter to his employer, who
has laid plans TO obtain what the girl
thinks is a worthless piece of real es-
tate, but which has suddenly assumed
considerable value, as it is needed by
the railroad company to complete
some improvements they have in view.
Blake jeopardizes his own position in
espousing the rights of the girl, and
this leads to many interesting compli-
cations. The comedy of the play is
of most delicious character, and
never before in the history of the
stage has there been a play which
includes so many laughs as does "The
Travelling Salesman" So well does
it depict the life of the drummer on
the road, that it has won the endorse
ment of the United Commercial TRAY
elers of America and the Travellers
Protective association. If the success
attained by this play in New York and
Chicago is any criterion, crowded
houses should await its advent in this
city.
Henry B. Harris will send THE
Travelling Salesman" to this city with
the original New York and Chicago
company, which includes Mark Smith,
James ONeill, jr., Clifford Stork, Law.

Daniel Jarrett, Guy B. Hoffman, EN-
