ling life beauty that irresistibly charms
and amuses. The spirit of gay Carls-
bad with the misunderstanding spring
girls and the audacious officers, the
merry humor of the strolling band of
players, the dainty fascination of the
legendary story of the hunted rabbit
and the huntsman, the wood numphs
and unusual ballet scenes, adoring
SWANS and adorable dresses, light
laughter and song are in it and make
memorable pictures.
The threads of intrigue tangle in
to a play that could live without a
note of music, and hold the sure at
tention of hearers, misunderstanding
and unexpected announcements come
thickly and fast and develop climax
unusually dramitic for light opera.
OF almost equal importance with
the story and the merry harmonies is
the scenic investiture that sWerba and
Luescher have given with a lavish
hand. The scene at Carlsbad brill
liant in gay costuming and panoramic
view of the village; the celorful peas
ant fete at Bitterbrunen, and the for
est scene with springing fountains and
fitting elves amid the human love
makers, make remarkable stage pic
lures. With such setting there Is
little wonder that the famous waltzes
lac knothing in their appeal. For
the music is what made the success
after all. There has been much good
music in many Viennese and Bohe-
milan light operas of the "Fatinitza"
and "The Merry Widow" kind, but the
luscious flavor, the easy brilliancy,
the flowing melodious element, the
dramatic style and the warm, palpi-
tating life are peculiarly balanced here
in "The Spring Maid" so they insin-
iuate in the ear and give rise to no
end of sensuous pleasure which the
intelligence fully justifies.
And Mizzi Hajos, the merry little
prima donna from Hungary, new
found delight to American theatre-go-
ers, carries the fascination of her will
fitness, her mischief, her teasing
moods from the first to the final mo-
ments. The long cast approaches the
long-awaited "well-balanced cast" and
bids for the long unworn laurels of
the old Bostonians. George Leon

Human Hibernation.
In some Of the remoter provinces Of
Russia there are peasants who are ad-
dicted to what Is practically hiberna-
ton. When the harvest has failed
and provisions are scarce they lie
down on the top Of the great stove In
the inner room. the kitchen of their
hut. The stove is high. reaching al
most to the roof. and the space be-
tween this big brick structure and the
roof is the ordinary sleeping place of
the family. Lying down upon the
long. fat stove, the peasants avoid all
talking and all exertion. except such
as is necessary to keep the stove re-
plenished. and they sustain life by
eating at long intervals q little black
bread soaked in water. The hut Is
dark and silent through the winter.
Junks on the lrawsdi.
Eastern ingenuity Is often diverted
into curious directions. The Burmese
use junk on the Irawadi so rugged
and with sails so secured that it can
run only before the wind. 1t Is par
ticularly adapted to local conditions.
As roads were till comparatively re-
cent times unknown in Burma, river
navigation was Of particular impor-
lance as a means Of communication.
Usually there Is considerable difficulty
In ascending a river. This Is not so
on the Irawadi, for the winds blow
almost constantly dead against the cur
rent.

FRANCIS WILSON,.

The Bachelors Baby" tells one of
those delightful little stories which
pleases everybody and it also offers
Mr.. Wilson in a stellar capacity a par
ticularly well drama and sympathe-
tic character. He has many most
amusing scenes, speaks bright and wit
ty lines, delivers himself of witty
epigram and at the same time shows
that underneath his we'll known abili-
ty to create laughter he has a serious
side which when brought to the sur
face, is a most valuable asset Fran
els Wilson wrote The Bachelors
Baby" for his own use and the merry
little play has, it is stated, been well
received in every city where it has
been presented. The theme of the
comedy is the conversion accomplish
ed by the winsomeness of little child
and partly by the power of another
love, a love for sweet young woman.

coming engagement at the Tulane thea,

CRESCENT.

Telling a story through which runs
a virile religious sentiment that is
heart-touching, and yet is not of the
nature to bring offense, The Rosary"
the play of Edward E. Roses, which
proved such big success last season.
is repeating this year with added bril-
liancy. While the central figure is
that of Catholic priest, the charac-
ter Is so drawn that the question of
sectarianism is not in any way in
volved. Rev. Brian Kelly is presented
as a man of God, whose greatest
thought is the good he can do for his
fellow men of whatever creed or of
no creed.
The part is played with keen
Irish sense of humor and good will as
foil to his priestly calling, and thus
is able to solve the depths of do
nestle tragedy and restore happiness
to a home that is near destruction
through the Vaccinations of a design
ing william who seeks revenge because
another has won the woman he loves.
He wantonly brings the loving wife
into disrepute, and also plots the
wrecking of the fortunes of his sue
cessful rival, who believes him stead
fast friend. 1t is the Office of the
priest to unravel the tangle and re-
store tranquility, performing moral
that should be witnessed by every
body, as well as enjoyed.
The cast chosen for the presenta-
ton is beautiful as well as effective.
The staging of the show is credit TO
Rowland and Clifford, who have six
companies playing the same play this
season. The Rosary" comes to the
Crescent Theatre for a weeks stay,
February 18th.
An event of the seasons musical
offerings, booked at the Crescent Thea
tire, and which has already aroused
the interest of New Orleans theater-
goers, who are admirers of the better
sort of musical comedy, will be found
in the bright play "The Newlyweds
and Their Baby" which will be the
attraction at that popular playhouse
next week.

tickled folks delighted all New York
and Chicago for months and like
wise, tickled thousands in New Or
leans, during it's visit last year.
The performance it is promised, will
be of the liveliest sort, with fun as
the keynote. The doings of that Won
derful kid "Snookums" furnishes most
of the amusement. The part of the
baby will again be handled by James

parents will be impersonated by Leo

for his excellent work in many Broad

.BABY MINE" COMING.

Baby Nine" Margaret Mayo's
laughing success, direct from run of
a solid year at Days Theatre in
New York, is announced as the attrac-
ton which comes to the Dauphine
Theatre next Sunday for one week and
usual Wednesday and Saturday matt

A. Brady, limited.
The success which Baby Mine" has
had IN New York is now being dupli-
Gated at Sir Charles Criterion Thea
tire in London, England. Few come
dies are as continuously funny as
Baby Mine" which literally has a
laugh in every line"
How exquisite the pleasure one dc
rives in seeing the roaring comedy
Baby Mine" which has made such a
pronounced success in the United
States and London. There is an eces-
tacy that mothers feel as the many
amusing conditions and numerous CON-
plications come in the play, and the
possibilities of which they can un-
derstand. The fun and laughter which
prevails throughout act like a CLEAN
Of sunshine in a low sky on the au-
dience.
The complex situations which in
duce such vehement outbursts of
laughter and screams of delight, and
the sensational and luducrous antics
Of the young husband when he first
fondles and talks to his first born.
excite the emotion and memory of
many who have experienced similar
moments
The play from start to end provokes
shaft Of penetrating humor and pleas
ure.
A rightful verdict is that Baby
Mine" Is the best comedy evergiven.
The coming of Baby Mine" will be
peculiarly interesting because it
brings several of the well-known play
ers who have been identified hereto
fore only with the long runs in New
York and Chicago. Among them are
Earl Mitchell, Clinton Preston, Mar
iorie Cortland, Jane Carlton, Helena
Modjeska Rapport, A. G. Carlton and
others.

A Vicious Dwarf.

Bebe was the favorite dwarf of the
former King Stanislas of Poland. Born
in 1741 In Lorraine. at the age of five
he was twenty-five inches high and at
his death in 1764 thirty-three inches.
He was neither physically nor mental
ly active. Once Count Borowlaski WIS.,
tied him, and he became so jealous Of
the formers superior manners and in
tellectual qualities that he attempted
to throw his visitor into the fire. but
was prevented by the household.

Young Wambsgan Making Good.

Al. Wambsgan, who is the young
son of Jacob Wambsgan, former Al
germ, had little trouble in outpointing
his rival boxer, McReynolds, in a clear,
fast, three-round fight at Birmingham,
Ala, on the 9th.
The contest between Wambsgan and
McReynolds, was quite smart fight,
but the decision was never in doubt.
Wambsgan was able to penetrate Nc
Reynolds defense, while the local boy
could do nothing with the New Or

McReynolds' frame, while Wamsgan

WEST SIDE SPORTING.

Following receipt of a telegram from
Alec Mclean, Matty Baldwins mana
ger, stating that the Boston light
weight injured his shoulder while
training for the bout scheduled with
Pal Moore before the Westside Athle-
tic Club on February 4, and would be
unable to fulfill his contract, Mana
ger Tortorich of the McDonoughville
club announced cancellation of the
scrap Saturday.
Pal Moore, who was to have met
Baldwin, arrived during the forenoon
from Philadelphia for the match
Moore was to have renewed training
Monday, but since the Baldwin bout
has been called off the Philadelphia
lightweight will remain here until
Jimmy De Forest makes another
match for him.
Efforts will be made by Manager
Tortorich of the Westside and Orleans
clubs to arrange a ten-round match
for Moore, giving the fans a chance
to see him in action before trying to
find a good man to pit against him
across the river 1t is not known
whom the local promoters will secure
for Moors, though Jack Redmond, who
took a good whaling from Battling
Nelson here several weeks ago, is a
possibility.
Another attempt is to be made
shortly by Promoter Tortorich to
match frankie Conley and frankie
Russell. Whether or not the SCRAP
will occur shortly is not known, fol
Tom Jones, Conley's manager, seems
well satisfied with his money-getting
expedition on the Pacific coast.
In the event Russell and Conley do
meet here, the bout will serve to prove
whether the second fighter turned out
of the French Market district is really
there with the goods or only semi
windup miller. Russell, according to
all of the good judges. is the makings
of a good scraper, although it is ad-
mitted he is still lin the rough"
