AT THE ILLINOIS.

With libretto Astounding in the
eternal comedy of human nature and
full of dramatic freshness and a
score heavily fraught with music of

| dies at one minute Intoxicating in
/ their tenderness, the next shifting to

blend of the essence of Bernard
| Sbaw's inexhaustible wit as revealed
in "Arms and the Man" and the
! flower of Oscar Strauss operate gen.
IT'S, has done more to regenerate
light opera on the American stage
than all of its contemporaries COM
bined. One does not have to hunt
for the plot, nor turn from any
ltediousness of dialogue, for all the
sparkling action and the vivacious
repartee for which Shaw is justly
famous has been retained in the Ii.
bretto. Every minute has its laugh
and where two or three are gather
ed together there is sure to follow
some captivating song. Never before
has single opera contained so many
hits; the audience that is accustom
ed to one or two in an evening is as
tonished to find that each of the
Chocolate Soldier" melodies rivals
the other in beauty. MY Hero,
THE Letter Song" THE Tale of ;
Coat" and THE Chocolate Soldier
are only few of its treasures. TIL,
full romance and picturesqueness o

gorgeous production that Mr.. Whit

Battle of Bunch.

Rock Island wrestling promoters
have picked tricky sNicky Collins of
Chicago for Harry Brondelrs next OPP
ponent in a match that Is TO be staged
at the Illinois theatre next Thursday
evening. Collins is one OF seven wrest-
lers who hurled defies at Brondell at
the time of the Standardization
match and is a mighty lucky lad TO
get a chance to buck up against the
Davenport grappler. But Collins has
been seen in action here and the pro-
moters are certain that he will put up
as good a match as any of the rest
of the bunch could possibly do. He is
an old head at the game and may beat
Brondell, even though the defeated
Greek demon did beat him fortnight
previous to his (Nicholson's) defeat
by Brondell. II is settled that Bron-
dell and Collins will furnish the main
number for another attractive wrest-
/ ling program. They are to weigh in at
something like $50 pounds, the exact
weight to be announced in a few days.
Should they decide on $50 pounds they
will be out Of welterweight class.

TO Be MINSTREL
TREAT OF SEASON

Trinity Mems club Ministries will be
staged tonight at the Illinois theatre,
and if things go as planned, the audi
ence which greets the performance
will have the biggest minstrel treat
of seasons. In the first place, the
plot of the show is out of the ordinary
run for such performances, and then,
the big male chorus that aids in the
song numbers is made up of men, all
OF whom are experienced in chorus
work and know how to produce har-
mony in the songs. Every one of the
soloists is a capable performer and the
songs which have been picked are the
latest and most catchy of late song
hits. The music that was written by
Earl H. Bowlby of this city, is particu-
larly good and it is sure to make the
big hit with audience.
That the fellows who will take the
place of the usual end men did not
consult some old magazine for jokes
will be recognized when some new
| laugh provokers are sprung. So when
the audience assemblies it may do sc
with the assurance that it will not be
bored to death by some antiques in
this line. The show is TO close with g
comedy vaudeville sketch in which
Charles Imhof and F. o. Canedy viii
! be the principals. The entire chorus
VIII be on the stage for the finale.
Two of the best numbers of the pro
gram are to be given, not by the mall
minstrels, but by two of the young lad
les of Trinity parish, the Misses Char
lctte Anderson and Dorothy B. Simp
son. Miss Anderson, the possessor o
a remarkably pretty, soprano voice i
to sing a solo. Miss Simpson is t,
dance to the chorus of Beautiful
DOLL"
Another of the big features of tn
: performance is the drill which is STAG
ed by Camp 90, Modern Woodman @
America. The members of the team
under the direction of Colonel Sam F
Davis, go through a zouave drill tina
is as near to perfection as anythin
can be. The team took second honor
at the recent contest of teams at Blu
falo.

AT THE BURTIS

There is always a dignity in the
of an attraction bear
ing the trade mark of Henry w. Saw
age. This manager does not trifle
with the public which has patronized
his production in the past; on the
other hand his output shows a def
mite desire to approach as near as
possible to perfect production and
performances. He has certain ideals
in art and tries to live up to them.
Being a man of large fortune he can
indulge his fancy where one with
less means would be afraid to tread.
MI Savage believes in grand opera
in English. He admits that this be-
lief has cost him a matter of half a
million dollars, but he is none the
less sure that he is right and that
eventually the opera-going public in
this country will demand and receive
orera in its native tongue. In
his production of Puccinis 1.-The Cir
Of the Golden West" he is given an
opportunity to demonstrate his the
Giles. The drama written by David
/ Belaseo upon which it is founded
/ is one of the greatest successes oil
! the American stage and its theme
and atmosphere are typically Ameri
can, therefore, Mr.. Savage felt thai
/ to be thoroughly enjoyed the word.

When it is offered at the Burtis, mat

When it is offered at the Burtis, mat
inee and night, Sunday, the point
will become apparent, because the
language of the native American fits
so perfectly into the stage setting.
Experts who saw the opera as it was
performed at the Metropolitan opera
house, New York, in Italian, and
have seen Mr.. Savage's production,
declare that the latter is incompar-
ably the better. The audience
knows what is transpiring and is not
required to guess and it follows the
intense story of the opera as keenly
as though it were a drama. The tour
of Mr.. Savage's company which in.
cludes all the large American cities
has been one continued ovation and
it is voted to be the greatest tri
umph in the career of the producer
The scenic effects are particularly
magnificent. The company includes
124 people.

Old Position.

Danville, Feb. l5.-With the appoint
ment, at the mass meeting held in the
city hall Monday night, of a reliable so
Letting committee, the real work OF
getting ready for the baseball season
begins. Both John NJ. Boyle and ]. w.
Plaster, who will finance the club. feel
that the reserve fund will be raised
easily by the committee and they are
going ahead with the work of select
ing a playing manager for the organi-
cation.
In looking over the material on
hand, the members Of the club, who
have worked TO land a pennant for
Danville. are first considered by the
magnates. The pitchers were first
crossed of the list for the reason that
~ was not deemed advisable 10 have a
pitcher as manager. The outfelders
are too young and too inexperienced to
act in the capacity Of manager, though
they are first class ball players.
Staley, the elongated first sacker, has
the ability, but not the desire. hence.
he, too, is discarded. Either Sinor or
Fisher would have made good men,
but both are now gone, disposing OF
the infielders and leaving only the
catchers.
Hildebrand is a good man, but lacks
the experience of Massing, who demon
strated last season that he has good
head and understands the game. He
is a good hitter, handles the pitchers
well and has an excellent throwing
arm. Massing looks good as a mana
ger and he will be considered, with
other applicants for the position and
given preference, should the others not
outpoint him. About 40 other applica
tions aye TO be considered and by the
last Of the coming week, possibly earl
Ter, announcement as to the playing
manager will be made.
COMMITTEE Is BUSY.
The soliciting committee, consisting
of Lou Leseure, as chairman, and o
ID. Mann, Robert Bookwalter, Robert
Dallas, Alb Deutsch and Mayor VIII
Lewman, is already at work. During
the meeting Monday night 5000 was
raised and Tuesday morning an add
tional 500 was added before the com
mittee really got busy, leaving but al
additional 81 900 TO be raised. The
members of the committee feel tina
this can be easily done. So do tn,

franchise and they are going ahea'
with their arrangements, confiden
that the committee and the real fan
will do the remainder and by Satur

WICKER WANTS TO COME.
Bobby Wicker, former Cub pitcher,
would like to come here as a playing
manager. Bobby agrees to put $1,000
into the club and take his turn at
pitching. Bobby doesn't strike popu
lar chord, as the public is against old
major leaguers as managers of minor
league clubs, past history showing
| that they are not a success, McCar
