 That is the way the critic of the New York Press began his review of Mrs. Leslie Carter in s'Two Women,' a play by Rupert Hughes, which ran for several months at the Lyric theatre New York, last season. Mrs. Carter win be seen in 1.-Two Women" at the Jefferson theatre tomorrow night a,fFA

This woman, Jeanninc Bartet. he hires to pose for the unfinished portrait of the dead Jeanette; she is an habitue of the place.

Eritzi Scheff

Victor Herbert has written another comic opera for Fritzi Scheff. It is known as ''The Duchess" and marks Madame Scheff's first performance under the man. agement of the Shuberts in new play. Ever since Madame Scheff-"the little devil of grand opera"--left the Metropoi- tan Opera House forces, Victor Herbert has been supplying her with successes and in ''The Duchess it seems fore gone conclusion that she will have last ing and genuine hit. The opera has just finished a successful engagement at the Lyric theatre, New York, and will be seen here next Saturday matinee and night.
 The story-it has considerable value be- cause there is a real plot which fails to succumb to the usual bobbing up and down process so familiar to .musica, plays-concerns Rose Boutonniere q charming little vixen who tends shop in Ter fathers establishment. Morning, noon and night she is wooed.. but her heart is unassalable. Her father, how ever. plans to marry her off to Adolphe, Comte de Paravante. because Adolphe has money.

He is waited on by Rose's maid enly aunt, who confides in the handsome fellow that for ten years she has been engaged to Adolphe, who is about her own age and style Phillipe is heavily in debt and is about to sail for Algiers un- der cloud. He appeals to Adolphe to re- lieve his Indebtedness, butsthe amount is so large that loan cannot be arranged.
 Meantime the Comte de Paravante has written his father in reference to his marriage to the flower girl and his batter replies in effect that his son shall never marry woman beneath his station
 Thereupon, Adolphe, who is in league with Roses father conceives the idea of paying off Phillipe's debts provided Phil lipe will marry Rose and afterwards li- vorce her, thus transforming the flower girl into Marquise. or graduating her into social grade from which Adolphe may marry her.

"Dante's Inferno" at Orpheum

i Dantes Inferno, the greatest motion pic
 ture film that was ever made, will he offered at the Orpheum theatre every l afternoon and every night this week. the matinees being al o'clock and the night performances at S30 o clock.
 This is the same film that created such a sensation in Birmingham early in the present season, and it was brought back here in order that many people might be afforded another opportunity of see1ns, it. Hundreds have expressed the desire to see the film since they heard of it's wonders, and the management secured it with this in view
 The picture shows the travel of the lost souls, as told in the famous poem of the same name. and several hundred artists actors sculptors and musicians were em- ployed for a year in the production from which the film was made. Many of the pie lures were taken from the crevices of Mount Vesuvius, whose volcanic forma- tion adapts itself to the descriptions found in the poem.
 Actual scenes are shown of the torture of lost souls. some with their bodies stuck head foremost in holes and their feet tor tured with heat at frequent intervals: others doomed to lakes of pitch: others
 in boiling water; others marching with coats of lead about their necks. and -'oiV VI otlti toi tultSs tIlt llhc OI WHICH can only be imagined.
 The staging of the picture is gorgeous and cost q fortune, the expenses of the production being estimated at over s10O,- eco. Some of the scenes are so realistic that one imagines they are actually wit messing them. The films are among the finest ever produced. They are clear and very distinct, and every feature of the actors who take the leading parts can be clearly depicted
 The manafement has reduced the price of admission to the pictures, a fact that will be welcomed by the patrons of the pictures when in Birmingham before. The pictures are of such a nature that they can be seen time and again. and en- joyed more and more each time. In fact one visit is not enough for the student of Dante to learn all that he wants to learn ct the pictures.
 Dante student will lecture during the course of the pictures explaining in de tail every view, the characters who take part. and what they say. A special musi- cal programme of music written for the picture will be rendered.

 Both in this scene and in the proceed ing one. Mrs. Carter is said to give strong taste of that old emotional power wherewith she swayed so many audiences in the old days like a true mistress of tragedy.
 In Two Women Mrs. Carter has from all accounts come back into her own Her victory in this play is such one as is seldom gained by any artist, and she has here recovered the old mysterious spen that only Mrs. Carter, among actresses of the present day, can work on the hearts of her hearers.
 The appreciation of her success is un- mistakably sincere and enthusiastic. Many curtain calls have marked the perform ance of Two Women wherever pre- sented, and have brought out Mrs Car ter to bow In grateful response to the plaudlts.
 Mrs. Carter is seldom off the stage; in fact it may be said, that she dominates every scene. There are scenes in which, by the sheer force of her magnetism and the energy of her impersonation, she lifts the play higher tlian otherwise it could go. . FNf F5-a5
 At the end, when Remy is blinded from the duel he has fought with his black guardly rival, and when Jeannine tells him she will stay with him always, the scene is full of pathos. Able assistance has been given to the triumphant star by her manager, in what he claims is one of the vory best supporting companies this actress has ever had. The produc tion alone, it is said, is one of the most magnificent ever seen, and is to be com pared with 'Du Barry in which she starred so successfully.

RISE OF PENNILESs RUSSIAN

The failure of the Northern bank Of
New York for $8,o00,000 and the story
of Joseph G. Robins career in New
York is the story Of the gold-filled
streets of America that lures the am
bilious Of Europe here. Sixteen years
ago he was a penniless immigrant,
with perhaps a half-dozen words Of
English at his command For the past
year he has had controlling voice In
three banks, two bonding companies,
two real estate development compa-
MES and two traction roads.
A Russian by birth, Robin came TO
the United States as Joseph Rabino-
witz. He was about twenty-five years
old then, and is now about thirty
eight. He came to this country alone,
and he is still single and without rela-
tives here.
A year after Rabinowitz reached
America he fixed upon journalism as
the profession he meant to follow. For
rather less than a month he was a re-
porter on the Herald, with only broken
