cts only the virtuops heroine, !"
| says Rose Stahl, ''that gets the money
at the box Office. Ask Pinero, ask
Jones, ask anybody. Vice doesn't
pay in this country, no matter how
artistically it is gilded. The real
people, the true people, love virtue.
They dote on it-even if they haven't
it. They 60 to the theater to get heart
and bone and courage. They don't
care q rap for your psychology or
your criticisms Of life or any Of that
J stuff. They care only for. the big,
primitive, elemental decent things that
stir the heart and cleanse the imagina-
ton. The only uncleau heroine that
ever got away with it was Camille,
and she had to cough herself to death
to beat the game. She had to die to
live. II she had said in the last
act, Me for Rectors, the last curtain
would have fallen in this country only
once.'
'The best play OF the season."
Such is the united opinion of New
York critics regarding the merits of
Joseph NJ. Weber's novelty drama,
"The Climax" which is scheduled for
an exceptional production at the
Turner Theatre on Sunday evening,
April 3Oth. 'The Climax" is song
play by Edward Locke, with incidental
music Joseph Carl Brell, and there is
no question but that it is charming
and refreshing, a most welcome de-
parture from the ordinary stories one
finds in plays. There is no woman
with wicked past, no domestic vows
broken, but story to set off with
appealing humor and prettiness that
it finds a responsive chord in the
hearts of its auditors. The piece will
be presented by a splendid cast OF
New York players.
Hugo Koch, who made such hit
here in the first New Ulm production
of '*Thc House of Thousand
Candles" will soon give New Ulm
theatregoers another treat in his new
play, "The Port of Missing Men," by
Meredith Nicholson. Mr.. Koch
opened his season in this play in one
of the leading theatres Of the national
capitol and his success since then has
added greatly to his fame.
Minstrelsry will be heard in New
Ulm in May for the first time since the
Johnson-Barnes-Epple aggregation
put on their famous black-face stunt
some ten years ago. The Richards
Pringle company, big organization
of Georgia artists, with fine band and
orchestra, will hold forth at the
Turner Theatre on the Goth of May.
Next season the Turner Theatre will
open with one of the most popular at
fractions on the road-J. E. Dodson's
famous play, "The House Next Door. )"
Manager Johnson has every as
surance that the season will be the
most satisfactory that the theatre has
known.
Chas. B. Hanford, who gave "The
Tanning of the Shrew' here some
years ago, is now playing in Vaude-
Vile. Another demonstration of the
decline of classic drama.
The new lounging room, adjacent to
the Turner Theatre, will be completed
by May LIST. It will be one of the
prettiest in the state and will be
opened to the public after every per.
ormance
| Walker Whiteside, a New Uln
favorite for several seasons, is still
winning unusual favor with his power
full Zangwill play, "The Melting
Pot.' 1t is some satisfaction tt
know that when Whiteside was strugg
ling for a "reputation" New Uln
gave him one of the finest audiences
he ever received il the state

"The Old Homestead" for more thai
