LENA RIVERS" NEXT LYRIC AT
TRACTION.

In a version of Mary j. Holmes
Southern play, Lena Rivers" written
especially for her and following the
story lin a correctness of detail that
appeals to the theatregOers, Mabel Gyp-
zene, the deservedly popular leading
Ingenue of the Peruchi-Gypzene Stock
Company, will be featured next week
at the Lyric Theatre commencing with
a matinee Sunday.
Lena Rivers" is one of the stand
ard plays that is always welcome be-
cause its story is a true one and it is
told in a convincing and entertaining
manner. Miss Gypzene fits the part
like glove and her local admirers
know how we'll she can act it.
While the dainty player will have
much of the bright spotlight, she will
not be alone in the honors, as there
are many good parts in the show. Mr..
Peruchi promises the best production
OF II given mere.
For the Thanksgiving matinee "Di-
vorcOns," with Miss Gypzene in the
leading role will be a special attraction
and the first time two shows were CIV
en- in week attracted more than pass
ing comment.
"Tennessee's Pardner," the attrac-
tion this week, has been drawing large
audiences, because the plot is one of
the most natural and interesting of any
show give nthis season.
The production also features Miss
Gypzene as Tennessee Kent and Mr..
Peruchi as Gee Wiliker Hay. All the
rest of the company are afforded full
scope for excellent acting.
There will be a strong delegation
from the various battleships in port

PAUL ]. RAINEY'S AFRICAN HUNT
Beasts of the Veldt Caught by the Ca.
mera To Be Shown in Motion
Pictures at the Fashiona-
bic Tulane Theatre.

Paul j. Rainey, whose motion pic
lures of his recent African hunting ex-
pedition, which will be shown at the
Tulane Theatre for the week of De-
cember 1st, broke so many photograph
ic records that the mere recital of them
would be monotonous. The remarka-
BILE expedition which journeyed to
British East Africa, won, among other
things. the honor of photographing wild
animals in their native state at closer
range than ever before in the annals
of the camera.
The perils amid which these pictures
were taken naturally heighten vastly
their intrinsic interest. Near the IA
nous water hole from which every va
riety of the beasts of the jungle came
to drink, Mr.. Rainey stationed his ca
mera men in tree. They stayed there
for many days too, sometimes securing
many feet of film and then for weary
hours at a stretch, none at all
The result, however, fully warrants
this patient enterprise, judging from
the protracted run which the Rainey
pictures are having in New York City,
where they are now in their seventh
month on Broadway. Nothing could
be more perilously ingenious, more un-
spoiled in it's fidelity to absolutely pri-
mitive nature than the rhinos, zebras,
monkeys, wart hogs and giraffes, fight
ing for water rights in the sandy and
porous African soil at the water hole
The rivalry of the huge rhinoceroses
for such privileges is particularly alb
sorbing in it's appeal.
Of equal attraction are the pictures
of the safari, the trapping of the hy-
enas, the ostriches, and the leopard
hunt, and the killing of huge ''rhino"
which was slain in time to insure the
safety of the intrepid camera man. The
entertainment closes with a thrilling
lion hunt, in which Mr.. Rainey's con-
tention that no wild animal is capable
Of combating successfully with the su-
perbly efficient Mississippi bear hound,
is conclusively demonstrated. The en-
gagement of the African Hunt pic
lures at the Tulane includes daily ma
tinees, commencing Sunday.

CRESCENT.

Thomas Z. Shea, who begins week S
engagement at the Crescent Theatre
Sunday night, December /, will pre-
sent a new play, which bears the title
of "A Man and his Wife" written By
Samuel Shipman. Its story tells of a
man, born in the wilds of Maine, who
rises in the world until he becomes a
broker in New York and a financial
power. A society girl, much younger
than he, has married him. Clarke has
4 high sense of his wifes honor and
the sanctity of his home. Therefore,
when he finds Reed, trust magnate,
making love to his wife, he dismisses
him from his home and in revenge,
Reed circulates untrue reports which
cause a run on the bank and almost
ruins Clarke. In this situation, Clarke
suspects his wife still loves Reed and
proposes to her that he shall give her
freedom by means of divorce that she
may marry him. From this time, the
true characters of the two men are
made clearer to her and in due time
all ends happily.
"A Man and his Wife" is a good,
strong play that is attractive for it's
impressive plot, its excellent literary
treatment and powerful scenes, and ar.
tistic performance. In Clarke, the bank
er, Mr.. Shea has a role that gives him
numerous opportunities for effective
work and he accepts them with re-
markable fidelity to life.
The production is sumptuously
mounted and nothing has been neglect
ed to make Mr.. Shea's visit here of the
same high order as heretofore

ORPHEUM THEATRE,

Vaudeville patrons are familiar with
the works Of Gus Edwards, but it is
seldom they have an opportunity of
witnessing him in action. They will
be given the opportunity to see him in
all of his glory next week in his own
personal offering, The Fountain of
Youth is Six Spouts." This euphoni-
GUS title inadequately expresses the
good things to be seen in this act-an-
other musical comedy with pretty girls
who can both sing and dance, Gus Ed
wards himself, and his personally de-
veloped youthful proteges. When Gus
Edwards sent his famous School
Days." with the lovable, though mis-
chieyous Sassy Little" in the feature
role, managers thought this prolific
producer had reached the height of his
ambition. Now that they have his
Song Revue" they realize that there
is no limit to his attainments. His
productions are always noticeable for
their snap and go, good, wholesome
comedy and careful attention to detail.
The Orpheum attempts to be conserv-
ative in calling attention to future at
fractions, and is following this policy
in labelling next weeks show one of
the very best of the year.
