YANKEES TO HELP
NEW PARIS THEATER

Paris will be the next city to have
an endowed playhouse, and among the
founders there will be Americans as
well as Frenchmen. The American
financiers who will support the theater
are men that are in the habit of MAX
ing frequent visits to the French cap
ital. and their names are also found
on the list of directors of the New
theater of New York
The Americans who are interested in
the project are ]. Pierpont Morgan,
William X. Vanderbilt. Otto II. Kahn,
James H. Hyde and Percy PeiXotto,
while the French stockholders are
Baron Henry Rothschild, Arthur
Meyer, Marquis Polignac. Nine. Paquin
and Lazare Weller. The active man
ager will be Gabriel Astruc, who has
been conspicuous in French theatricals
for several years as the Paris repre-
sentative of the Metropolitan opera
company of New York.
A site for the new theater was at
first selected on the Champs Elysees,
but the municipal council of Paris OBJ
iected on the grounds that playhouse
would disfigure the beautiful thorough-
fare, so a location has now been de-
cided upon on Montaigne avenue, a
fashionable street which runs into the
Champs Elysees.
The purpose of the theater Will be to
produce standard drama and opera,
eliminating commercialism entirely,
after the fashion of the New theater.

a series for which contracts have been
made a year ahead.
Five artists have been secured for
the entertaining features, besides a
specially selected orchestra of soloists,
under the leadership of Prof. Jacob n.
Wiley. Edith Helena heads the list.
Miss Helena is a prima donna OF
phenomenal range of voice, decided
sweetness and great power Dare and
Wolford are whistling prima donnas,
and will furnish a novel act with their
bird limitations and duets. Elsa Ward
is a soprano, and her presence is GER
tain to be a delight. Carl Bravo is
tenor Of phenomenal ability, whose rec
ord speaks for itself. Senior Galgano
is an eminent harpist, master of this
sweet but difficult instrument, and his
solo work will certainly be big fea-
ture. And with Mr.. Wiley and his
orchestra accompanying them and in
terspersing classic, operate and popu-
lar numbers between, a program of two
hours is easily obtainable.
GRAND OPERA HOUSE-The big
revival of "Florodora" has proved such
a success, both from the artistic as
well as the financial standpoint and the
demand for seats for this famous girl
show has been so extraordinarily heavy
that Ferris Hartman and his company
will continue this fine musical comedy
second week. beginning this after
noon.
"Florodora" is the eatchiest, liveliest
and most tuneful music and fun-off-
ering that Ferris Hartman and his
merry associates have presented this
season, and the Grand opera house
has been taxed to its utmost seating
capacity during the ten performances

last week. Since the starting of the
production much effort has been put
forth by the individual teams in the
famous seXtet number. This has de-
Veloped into contest of the six cou-
pies composing the sextet, and Mr..
Hartman has offered a beautiful prize
to the winner. The cast for the Sec
ond week will remain the same with
the exception of the role of Cyrus Gill
fain, which will be taken by George
Poultney. Mr.. Hartman will remain in
the role of Professor Tweedlepunch.

enjoyable comedy.

popular comedians former efforts to
provide the patrons of the First street
house with lots of good wholesome
amusement. The comedy is new and
contains many piquant situations and
enough of a plot to make it unusually
interesting. The trip of a travelling
salesman unexpectedly ends and he
returns home to find that his wife is
being annoyed by the attentions of a
typical dude who has followed her.
Previous to the husbands appearance
upon the scene the maid of the house
discovers that her mistress is in trou-

assist her out of her embarrassment.
When he arrives he mistakes the hus-

SPORT

The tlnlSle of the sleigh bells falls upon the
frosty air,
The shouts of happy girls and boys blend
with the trumpets blare;
The steel shod runners whine and wheeze
across the crusted SHOWS,
The driver cracks his whip as down the
street the junket goes;
[ hasten to the doorway, and my heart with
pleasure throbs
At sight of an old straw-strewn box that
slips along on bobs
In course of many years I've logged about
the world a deal
And in my time have tried quite all the
things that go by wheel;
I've coasted in a cariole through long Nor
And sledged behind fleet reindeer in the
land of northern lights;
In droshky and kibtka 1 have speeded Cos
sack cObs,
But all the time l thought OF nome ana
that old box on bobs.
I'VE tounced about the London streets in
sprngy tlburies:
The shandfydans of Cork have shaken OF
my head and knees;
I'VE journeyed in jinrlkshas through the
kingdom of Japan,
Shot tigers from a howdah in the WIGS OF
Hindustan;
In angareps I've ambled where the Jordan
river sobs.
But such delights were nil compared with
that old box on bobs
All through the east I've Travelled in style
like Sheba's queen,
Reclining the cushions OF Chinese
palanqun;
In India arbo was considered quite the
thing,
Although the vehicle could boast of neither
seat nor spring;
But somehow. retros9ection all a fellows
pleasure robs.
And SO l longed for home and that old
wagon box on bobs.
The pale electric light fails on the drifted
banks of snow,
Just as the moonlight silvered once the
fields of long ago;
The sleigh bells Jingle, and the young folE
make merry noise
Just as we did on time when we were
girls and boys;
That's why I stand and listen while my
heart with pleasure throbs
At sight of an old straw-strewn box that
glldes along on bobs.

Kirby belongs to the latter class, and
because he affected cameos-One of the

they called him Cameo Kirby.
A year before the play opens plant

Now Kirby has returned to New Or
leans and is avowedly on the track of
Moreau to even up scores with him.
The two men meet in a wood and
Moreau is shot dead, but as no weapon
is found on him, Kirby is accused of
murder. Flying from his pursuers he
takes refuge in the house of Nine.

Tom Randall is determined to avenge
his fathers death, but is absent from
the house when Cameo arrives through
the window and makes friends with
1.-The General" a boyish worship
per, who introduces him TO his sister,
Adele. Cameo is not aware of Adeles
identity nor she of his. They become
interested in each other and she aids
him to escape in a closed carriage
which is to convey her and a party of
friends to the Randall plantation, after
having introduced him as Col. Moreau

the planters daughter that he dtsre-
CARDS the pleadings of his faithful
Sancho Panza, Larkin Bunce, also
professional gambler with Falstaffian
touches of mastodonic humor and who
implores him to make his escape While
yet he may.
The crash comes when Tom Randall
bursts into the house, denounces Kirby
and attempts to kill him. Cameo, who
until now has been a Chesterfield in
manners, turns upon Tom and accuses
him of having removed the revolver
from Col. Moreau's dead body in order
to create the impression that the
colonel had been murdered instead of
having fallen in a duel. Moreover he
now reveals the truth about the gam
bling affair of the year before. 1t was
Col. Moreau, he explains, who had
taken advantage of the planters con-
dition to strip him of his possessions,
while Cameo had in turn beaten Mo-
reau, intending to restore his winnings
to Randall, but had been shot by Mo-
reau in a quarrel. He presents the
deed of the plantation to Adele, who
has turned against him, and is about
to obey her command that he leave
the house, when she detains him, hav-
ing discovered the transfer was made
five months before, a fact that proves
his action to have been uninfluenced
by regard for herself. A medallion that
belonged to the dead planter is found
among Col Moreaus effects and con-
firms Canoes story. Adele's heart is
touched, but they part, with the under
standing insisted on by Cameo, that he
is to return when he has proved him
self worthy of her. Socially he is her
equal as attested by old Group, the
RandalFs house servant, who had been
slave on the Kirby plantation.
