-Four more attractions and the the
atrical season wiz come to a close in
Pensacola. It has been q successful
season from the viewpoint of the class
Of attraction presented. and those to
be seen before the curtain is rung
down for 1911 are as good, If not better
than those which have appeared be-
fore the Pensacola public.
Fcr the first year in q long time the
management has not been compelled to
confne its bookings to the Klaw &
Erlanger attractions. but has had an
open filed and an opera house. with the
result that theatre goers have witness
ed some excellent productions by act
ors and actresses far above the ordi-
: nary. Whether or not the season has
been q financial success is left for the
measurement to say, but the class of
attractions brought to the city, in
many Instances, did not meet with the
patronage deserved.
The attractions booked to appear
before the season closes are Polly of
title role; James X. Haciett in the
lSKing's Came" the Fortune Hunter
and the Three Twins. OF the quar-
-fecte The Fortune Hunter Is receiv-
/. ing the praise at the hands Of the
press, probably due to the excellent
: science sfrects for the company carries
over the country about three car loads
eft scenery. OF course, Jas. K. Hackett
meets with success wherever he goes
and It is said that IN 'The Kings
Game" he Is better than ever.

Jas K. Haekett.


Theatre goers have welcomed the
announcement Of James x. Hackett's
coming to the opera house on Mon
presentation, THE Kings Game"
which has been described as a satire
on the romantic play. In taking on
that definition 1t bears the same rela-
ton to the other Hackett successes
that Arms and the Man. the Bernard
Shaw satire did in the Mansfield re-
pertoire.
The action of "The Kings Game" il
conferred In small European princi-
pality Of the imaginary ilk. Aristo-
cratic anarchists are plotting against
the King. who is the central parsonage
in the satire. He is a fun-loving mon
arch as played by Mr.. Hackett; keen
to see things in their own settings, and
alert to the doings of everyone about
him.
The leader OF the anarchists is Baron
Won Trump. With his daughter, they
plan to kill the King by hurting a
bomb at him during a parade which
Is to pass the streets Of the capitol. To
q young workman who resembles the
King. the duty Of throwing the deadly
DoAAAD Has Dccn 5lBuCus when the
time for the explosion occurs, It Is the
real King who throws a fake ma
chine at a fake king. Woven with
much intricacy is the love story which
concerns the king and the Baron's
daughter. When the final curtain falls,
It is evident that the turgid atmos-
phere has been cleared and the King
returns to his throne, while the girl,
who has learned to love the King, re-
allies his mortality. and from q hater
of kings becomes a sympathizer with
their handicaps.
Among the many successes In which
James K. Hackett has appeared the
best known have been -The Prisoner
Of Zenda." Rupert Of Hentzau," THE
Pride OF Jennico." THE Crisis" and
The Kings Game. He has been able
to associate his name with the best
the American theatre affords and his
coming to Pensacola win be a treat

criticism from professional critics or
from the public, and the leading
clergymen Of New York and Chicago
have praised it from their pulpit as
being their ideal OF a play.
AS implied by the title, the plot re-
wolves around the matrimonial cam
paign of youth who would. with one
stroke, gain connubial bliss and sinful
wealth Henry Kellogg, a Wall Street
moth, conceives a brilliant campaign
for marrying money, but ere he has
time to put his plan into execution, he
is promoted to a partnership in his
Arm, and gains money without what
h econceives the drawback Of matri-
mony. Hence he passes his scheme
along to his impecunious friend, Nat
Duncan, (Fred Nible). His instruc-
tions are brief-go into a town of about
two thousand inhabitants, look well,
dress WELL adjure liquor and tobacco,
go to church and take your pick Of
the village heiresses.
Nat Duncan begins such a campaign
and the story relates his succecs which
turns to ashes when he falls in love
with noble hearted poor girl; he is
redeemed by work and love, and at the
END, everything comes out delightfully."-
well.
The cast embraces a large gallery
of salient American types; indeed, the
comedy may be said to be racy of the
soil THE Fortune Hunter" goes deep
into the heart of every true American,
but withal, is put together with amaz-
ing technique; it is a great play wholly
one and includes besides Mr.. NibIe,

Willinq to Be Martyrs.

Some years ago Il French tradeSman
stated that he wished to be guillOtined
instead of murderer who had been
condemned to death. OF course the
authorities declined to do as he wished.
and he went away vOwing that he
would give his life for some one else
later on.
Russian peasant who was noted
for his quiet piety offered to be shot in
order to save a revolutionary who was
awaiting the carrying out of the death
penalty. This. he said. was not done
out of any sympathy for the accused,
but merely to show his disapproval of
the principle of taking lives of Grim
mails.
Probably the most extraordinary case
on record was that of a Quebec citizen
who passed himself off as a murderer
for whom the police were searching.
When the matter was investigated it
was found that the self accused man
had nothing whatever to do with the
crime No" he said. you're right

Among the duties of the yeomen Of

singular one of making the kings bed
every night and searching it for any
dangerous weapon that might be COP

these Stalwart soldiers had Ito tum

the esquire for the body" took the
sheets and rolled them on his arm or
stripped" them through his hands
Whenever the yeomen touched the bed
clothes they had to make the sign of
the cross and kiss the place. which
must have rather prolonged the cere
mony Finally. when the bed had
been made. with much quaint but in
terminable ritual" the said esquire
sprinkled it with holy water. and then
the martial bedmakers retired to a
