nesto has seen that in the face of the
! gossip the only thing for him to do
| is to leave Madrid. He has packed up
and is going, but the tragedy of it all
has moved too swiftly. When Ernesto
| goes out to purchase his tickets the
! insult is hurled at him in public cafe
| by a notorious bully, one of the best
| swordsmen in Spain. Ernesto knocks
him down and a. duel is arranged. But
| in the meantime, Teodora has unfor>
Iltunately heard that her husband and
| Ernesto have quarreled and she comes
! in her anxiety to Ernesto's room. Ju-
! lian considers that it is his place to
defend his wife's honor; he takes En-
nesto's place and is wounded. He
comes to Ernesto's room and there
! finds his wife. Teodora might have
! remained in hiding, but as her husband
! falls into a chair with cry of pain
! she comes out of an anteroom. Severe
and Che rest see her and to the wound
| ed man her presence is a confirmation
! in some part of the scandal that has
| been rife.
Severe now takes charge of his broth
! er's house and would if he could throw
Donna Teodora into the street. The
door is barred to Ernesto. but he forces
| his way in, determined to see Julian
| and convince him of his innocence. The
! poison of scandal and the sword thrust
! of his enemy have done their work.
| Then it is that Severe, now complete
master of his brothers household, more
| than ever confirmed. in his belief in
the truth of his narrow suspicious and
! the tragedy which he has done SO much
! to bring about orders TeodOra out of
! the house and even goes to lay hands
! on her.
Ernesto now declares himself, Gossip
! has brought to reality what was lie,
| He takes the woman to his heart and
| leaves the house with her. This Won
derful vital theme, gossip, has been
! the making of one of the biggest plays
| of the age Mr.. Faversham is sup
| ported by an admirable company, in
Guiding Julie OPP, Nina Herbert, II.
| Cooper Cliffe, L. Rogers Lytton Lionel
! Belmore, Harry Redding and Frank
Hollins.
| ORPHE EJJM-Lionel Barrymore, Nc
Kee Rankin. Miss Doris Rankin-three
stellar names, all lately heading their
own companies in the Legitimate :
are the topnotchers at the Orpheum be-
ginning Monday matinee. They pre-
sent the playlet, 1.-THE White Shaver,
by Mr.. Barrymore, and they constitute
| the first "all star cast" of vaudeville
! Any one of them could head an indi-
vidual company today in the east, IN
| the regular theaters, same as was the
case a year ago; any one of them could
| top the usual vaudeville bill, in a
| sketch alone. But here are the three
of them, in a startlingly virile play
that will make you sit UP and think
a play that could go out on its merits,
without a well known name, and win
attention anywhere
The play the trio will interpret is
not a pretty thing-its very title tells
it's own story. But it is serious; a
thoughtful attempt to bring home a
situation that is growing worse in every
big city with the influx of foreign ele-
ments, and rapidly drawing to crisis
that must be faced. Vaudeville has its
part to play in educative theatricals,
and this is an advance along that line.
Quito as strong and unique, though in
a different way. are "The Old Soldier
! Fidders." who are second in promi-
nence of the newcomers. These two
boys i'm blue, and two sons Of Dixie,
are not violinists, but fiddlers-the
