AT THE EMPIRE.

Creatore's band, which has entertain
ed from coast to coast, is now in vaude-
Vile and comes to the Empire theatre
all of next week. This marks the great
est expenditure ever made by Manager
Dolly for single attraction. Creatore
is carrying a big band this season, and
il is said to be the strongest organic
alton, from a musical standpoint, that
he has ever had. To satisfy theatre
gcers in the brief % minutes allotted
10 the great bandmaster in vaudeville
is out of the question: but Creatore
does wonders. His wonderfully strik-
ing personality, his engaging manner,
his artistic gesticulations and his &c
centricities combine to make him per-
sonally interesting, while his band
pleases the ear. The selections range
from cperatic to rapid marches and
gallops.
Gresoire & Elmina will offer what is
styled Furniture Tusseling." There
is a gentleman in this act who is en-
dowed with wonderful powers when it
comes to balancing heavyweight arti-
cles on his chin. Jane Barber, sing
er Of Irish songs, will contribute a
number which is said to be musically
delightful and enjoyable from every
standpoint. Anna Abbott, THE Geor-
gia Magnet" will complete the bill for
the first half of next week. Miss Alb
bolt only weighs 10 pounds, and no
one can lift her. Sandow and Gotch
have both failed-in fact. 10 men can't
lift her, but she can lift 10 men.

"HIs NEIGHBOURS WIFE,"

Manager Daniel Frohman has made
history repeat itself at Powers the
atre. Chicago, for he has again brought
a bright, sparkling and humorous play
to that city with a splendid cast head
ed by Charles Cherry with Edna Good
rich, the noted stage beauty, as a fea-
ture of the company. His Neighbours
Wife is smart play for smart peo-
pie, including suburbanites, for it ap-
peals especially to the latter. 1t rip
pies with fun and it's complications
are a source of continuous, hearty
laughter from the beginning to the
final curtain. 1t may very honestly
be said to be a companion play to
"The Seven Sisters which, under the
same management and with the same
star. entertained Chicago theatregoers
for many weeks last spring and sum-
mer. All the parts are satisfactorily
played.

Now. starring in George Bronson-How
ards farce, 'Snobs."
Although for the past three years
have been featured, still | have al
ways regarded myself as "one of the
bunch" in a company, and have re-
ceived no special attention from the
manager, so that this season when l
took up rehearsals | was surprised to
see the difference in the treatment l
received from everyone about the
theatre. | was acquainted, as it hap
pened, with nearly all the members
of the company and at the first re-
hearsaL it astonished me that instead
of the usual Hello, Mac" with which
had been accustomed to being greet
ed, everyone bowed rather, and called
me Mr.. Mcintyre. The property man
ran up with a chair for me to sit on
between my cues and nearly dropped
dead, for during the two previous sea-
sons he had been with the same COM
pany as /, and the most attention he
ever paid to me was to ask me to get
out of the way occasionally. Then
the playwright and general stage man.
ager of the firm, who were conduct
ing the rehearsal, came to me fire.
quently and asked my opinion on GER
tain points of dialogue, or business,
and seemed to value my advice This
was all right, but as it CHANGED, had
appeared in another play by the same
author, and had been rehearsed pre-
viously by the same producer and
never before had l been allowed to
say word at rehearsals. Forgetting
that | was now a star, was wonder
| ing at their change in attitude, and
now / noticed that the other members
of the company treated me different
! ly. On all sides there was a defer
ence and respect which at first was
inclined to resent, for / have always
been "one of the gang" and always
want to be. However, / presumed
that would have to get used TO it,
and said nothing. When we took the
train for the first jump, the manager
handed me a ticket for a drawing
room in the parlor car, and | told
him that | didn't want to ride any
where except in the coach with the
company, but, on finding that it was
perquisite of the star furnished by the
management, | gave in. There was
carriage waiting for me at the sta
tion-also a managerial perquisite-
but / think that the biggest surprise

and name flaring forth on all sides,
and when l saw my name on the cleo
trio sign in front of the theatre, l
nearly dropped. That night after the
performance, the company manager
brought me back a statement OF the
business, and had to spend ten min
utes explaining IL, before knew what

OF course, / soon grew accustomed

At THE ILLINOIS,

Some OF the most successful plays
ever presented on the stage are said
10 have been the elaboration of an in
cident picked up by a playwright and
made into a dramatic vehicle that
later attracted worldwide attention.
IL was in this manner that Edgar Sci
wyn's rollicking comedy, The Coun-
Try Boy which Henry B. Harris
will present al the Illinois
next Tuesday. was evolved. The
incident on which The Country
Boy is based is said 10 have been
picked up by Mr.. Selwyn when he was
living in n little boarding house on
Fifty-hrst street, New York. one day
in this typical New York boarding
house something happened that seem
ingly soon after was forgotten. Ten
years elapsed when he was called
upon to contribute a one act sketch
20 an entertainment that the Lambs,
@ society of actors. were planning to
give in their club house. This Incl

not care to retire at a reasonable
hour themselves, and take no thought
of the slumberers who are disturbed
By conversation. The prime rule OF
the society is Lights Out at a. m.
and infringement on this regulation
imposes as a penalty upon the trans
gressor that for five Sleeper Jumps

the rule falls upon the manager of the
company and it is said one violation

dent was recalled By him and made
into a sketch that turned out to be
one OF the biggest successes ever pro-
duced at one of these events. Mr..
Harris witnessed its performance and
Immediately suggested to Selwyn that
he elaborate the sketch and make it
into play. He did this, and the
piece was finally presented at the
Liberty theatre, New York, where its
success was instantaneous. The en-
gagement there continued for five
months to the absolute capacity of
the playhouse, and the comedy was
considered one of the best plays of
the season. This success was later
repeated at Powers theatre, Chicago,
where its reception was no less en-
thusiastic. "The Country Boy will
be presented here with the same at

A SEETHING POT-By George Eaves, D. D.

Plainly my thought today concerns the strivings of the good what the old prophet perhaps meant by the phrase, the pride of Jordan" or by that other phrase "contending with horses For contending with footmen in the race is to be expected; but who would run . mile against an Arab steed? We ex-. poet to splash through puddles in the daily rains. Who wants a chance to stem the Father of Waters In flood? So in the social strivings of good and evil, of self and the others, of justice and injustice. of truth and error, we expect to do battle with pride and greed and corruption. The disheartening thing is the strife with ones own fla
 miliar friend; the stab in the back from ones own company; the cry of antago- nism from whence the cheer Is due!
 I have sometimes observed the vel low journalist, who has not yet been promoted to his final triumph, engaged in the subtly humorous task of sick
 Ing 'em on" like dogs, the combatants being, perhaps, staid clergymen or em- inent deacons. It made copy and 1t filled a dull season until the next Thaw trial. But even apart from this wanton flaming of their warlike industries, those clergymen or deacons were. alas only too ready to tear each others regulations to very sad looking rags indeed I remember, on one occasion,
