the first ever given by a stock COM
pany.
The play itself is one of the most
original of comedies. 1t is original IN
conception, in plot and in denouement.
The story is that of a clever young
lawyer James Smith. His prospective
brother-in-law is i. the pastor of a
church in a small New England COM
munity, and requires the assistance OF
substitute in an emergency. The
lawyer volunteers to preach for MN
for a time, and goes to New England
In the garb of a clergyman. Although
he is very clever and has been coached
thoroughly for the duties he is called
upon to perform, he finds himself in
all sorts of predicaments, the most
serious of all transpiring when he falls
in love with the daughter of an aged
brother minister" The plot then
takes a somewhat serious turn when
the lawyer discovers a plot against
the old clergyman. the entire affair
coming to a satisfactory conclusion In
q court room.
A. Byron Beasley will play the role
created by Max Figman, and will find
i'll it abundance of opportunity for his
rich vein of comedy. The entire Bur
bank stock company will be seen in
tions.
EMPIRE-Commenc with the mat
inee today, the Girton stock company,
whichsh has had such successful season
at the Grand opera house, will open at
the Empire theater on Third street, just

The play selected for the opening at
the Empire is Charles p. Taylor's melo-
drama success, Fallen by the Way

cess in all the large eastern cities. 1t
has a cleVerly conceived plot, we'll exc
cuted. and has for it's story the tangled
domestic affairs of an artist, Thomas
Lindsey and his wife, who because OF
scheming adventures and model, Kate
Warner, become separated.
The story is sufficient in its intensity
to hold the attention of an audience
from the rise to the fall of the curtain.
The play is full of stirring situations,
an abundance of snappy comedy, and
every act has powerful climax.
Every popular member of the Girton
companv will be seen in iFallen by the

ers have been engaged who will materi-
ally strengthen tho company. Roy

MASON-Rose Stahl will appear at
the Mason opera house the week of
October 10 in "The Chorus Lady" the
| famous comedy of stage life by James
Forbes. Miss Stahl, who is under the
Henry B. Harria management comes
to the city after completing wonder
| full record and breaking the established
theatrical traditions of years.
In the first place, it will be remem-
bered that '"The Chorus Lady" when
first produced in New York was prac-
tically unheralded, for the reason that
it's author was unknown and its star
new figure on Broadway. Leaping
into the spotlight of public approval,
! instantaneously after the fist light,
the production ran an entire season in
! New York "The Chorus Lady, was
| forced successfully out of the Savoy,
| the Hudson and the Garrick theaters
| by previous bookings, finally finding
| shelter at the Hackett theater and still
retaining it's popularity established the
longest run of any offering on Broad
way that season. But this was only
the beginning. Chicago called for the
play and without the loss of a single
performance it was transferred there
! where it ran for four months to ca
pacity during the hottest summer In
| years. This record was followed by
long engagements in other cities until
! when Miss Stahl was compelled to seek
brief respite, the season was clos d
in Boston, 1.-The Chorus Lady" having
played ninety-four consecutive weeks
to record breaking business every
where.
Miss Stahl and 1.-THE Chorus Lady"
were sent to the Pacific coast for a
triumphal engagement of the larger
cities, returning east when the star
and her company sailed for London.
Strange as it may seem, The Chorus
Lady scored it's greatest triumph in
England and the play ran for 100
nights at the Vaudeville Comedy the
ater to capacity business. while Miss
Stahl was hailed everywhere as the
american Bernhardt."

"Our New Minister" has provided
amusement for countless thousands of
people from Maine to California. Rich

of the town constable for several sea-
sons. and who has contributed largely
to its phenomenal success in all parts
of the country, still retains his original

But simple story of mastery

passion and sympathy.
The comedy is irresistible forceful

tion as one of the strongest organiza-
tions on the road.
BELASCO-Fifty Miles from Bos-
ton" is to be continued for a second
week. commencing Monday night at
the Belasco theater.
Nothing that Lewis S. Stone and his
associate players have done recently
has proved so thoroughly successful
from a popular viewpoint as this brisk
George M. Cohan musical comedy. The
piece affords splendid opportunities for
clever chara cterization to Mr.. Ruggles,
Mr. Camp, Mr. Giblyn, Miss Harrington
and Mr. Stone while the musical con-
tributions by Miss Harrington. Miss
Tannehill. Miss Montgomery, Miss
Kelly, Mr. Gibyn and Mr.. Ruggles are
far above the average heard in similar
performances.

woman of the company, in the name

which Richard Carle starred success
fully for two seasnos, and which Mr..
Hartman ran for four consecutive
weeks during his recent engagement in

assumed that of Leander Lamb.
There will be many new faces in the
company, and 1t will in every way be
the best organization Mr.. Hartman has
ever offered to the local theatergoing

mans usual scale of popular prices

every indication from the list of the
late Metropolitan successes which he
intends to produce week after week
that this will be the most successful
season in every way in the history of
the Hartman company.

DON'T TRIFLE.

If there is any one person in the
world more irritating than any other
it is the girl who is trifer. who
always is starting something and then
giving it up for something else. She
gets on your nerves continually. She
simply cannot be relied upon, and she
trifles away all her time picking up
a thing and throwing it down again.
She is a very useless member of
society. She may have a very good
heart, but she does not seem to real
ize how to direct her good intentions.
She is too fond of bestowing her IA
vors here and there. and she trifies
with her friends even as she does
with her work.
Nothing she does bears the stamp
of thoroughness. She seems to be
unable to concentrate her mind on
any one thing. In time the trifiing
girl is bound to be found out, no mat
ter how lovable she may be.
Her friends will discover her little
failings. and will lose faith in her, not
only in her promises but in her af-
fections as we'll And in time she is
going to be shut out from the close
companionship with others which is
such a necessity to all of us.
This sort of girl, while not meaning
to be unkind, will trifle with a mans
affections-will do it unconsciously
for she is not at all serious herself
and she cannot see how others may
be. And the trifler is the girl above
girls for a man to beware of. She it
