The dramatic spectacle, every.
woman" the much talked about pro
duction of recent years, will be the
offering at the Elks Theatre for an
engagement of one night, Monday,
Feb. 5.
Henry w. Savage has engaged a
special cast for this production to be
seen here and it is the same as was
seen during the long run at the Audi
torium Theatre, Chicago. The COM
pany is headed by Frederick Warde,
the eminent tragedian, and includes
Marie Wainwright, formerly 1egit-
innate star; Jane Oaber, one Of the
most beautiful of the young leading
women of the American stage; Frank
Lacy, Adele Blood, Edna Broderick,
Richard Lee, Dorothy Phillips, Mes
tor Lennoa and over one hundred
others. The whole production has
been mounted in the most lavish
manner and upon a most elaborate
scale. A special train is required to
transport the scenery and company.
The musical accompaniment is one
of the special features. The music
is symphonic in character and was
composed by George Whitefield
Chadwick, Dean Of the New England
Conservatory OF Music. 1t will be
played by a special symphony Or
chestra. "Everywoman" represents
an outlay of over sixty thousand dol
lars and is the result Of years
constant effort in the various depart
ments Of Mr.. Savage's workshops. He
has declared that he considers 1t
the most important production OF his
career, not excepting even his admir-
able productions of '"Parsifar' and
MADAM Butterfly

On account of the great size and
expense of transportation OF the or
ganization, the Aborn English Grand
Opera Company, numbering one
hundred persons in it's double cast,
chorus and orchestra, includes only
a few engagements of one, two or
three nights in it's annual tour OF
America, combining it's attentions
mainly to the cities which will war
rant "a stay of one week or longer.
Consequently the coming of this big
organization to the Elks' Theatre to
present one performance of Verdi's
most beautiful and popular master
piece. 'Il Trovatore," ora Tuesday
night, January 30, is viewed as one
of the most important events OF the
local season. The Aborn repertoire
affords six popular operas to- select
from. and the choice for presentation
here has been made by canvass OF
local music lovers. The Aborn cast
of singers this year includes two vo-
cal stars of each classification, one
appearing at one performance and
the other at the next, and in this
double array are such noted artists
as Edith Helena, Elaine de Sellem,
Jane Abercrombie, Leonard Samo-
loft, Domenico Russo, Louise LIE Ba-
ron, Zoe Fulton, Louis Kreidler, Nor
ton Adkins, William Schuster, Philip |
Fein, Estelle Wahl, Arthur Green
and others, with Carlo Nicosia and
Emanuel CANON, conductors, and
Karl Schroeder, stage director.

child by that splendid artist that she
began the study of vocalism under
the best teachers while still very
young Checailer Alberto di Bassi-
nj, the noted teacher, became her
instructor and adviser, and it was
usder his guidance that Miss Helena
developed her vocal talents to such
an extent that she was given a con-
tract to sing in Europe before ever
going aboard; something remarkable
for an American singer. She sang in
many of the larger cities in Europe
before returning to this country to-
appear with the Aborn forces.
The marked histronic ability Miss
Helena displays with her vocal &C
complishments in grand opera is
honestly inherited, for she comes
from long line of dramatic and
operate folk. Her paternal great
grandfather and grandmother were
Shakespearean actors. and her mo-
Their and maternal grandmother were
we'll known singers of their times.
Miss Telena's most recent success
of particular note was In the origl-
nal American cast which first sang
"Thais'' in English in this country
last winter at the Boston Opera
House, when she appeared in the
title role.

ABORN ENGLISH GRAND OPERA


Edith Helena, one Of the prima
donna sopranos of the Aborn Eng
fish Grand Opera Company, which
comes to the ElksN Theatre, Tues
day night, January 80, values among
her treasures a ring presented to her
by Queen Carmen Sylvia OF Rou-
mania. Miss Helena has been par
ticularly successful in coloratura
soprano roles, and on this account
has been called 1.-THE American Tet-
razzini." It was when she appeared
In Lucia di Lammermoor" in Buch-
Arrest, that the Roumanian queen pre-
scented her with the ring az token
of her enjoyment Of the performance.
Miss Helena. has been a singer
since childhood, beginning her ca
reer as one Of the children in "Wil-
liam Tell" with Colonel Mapleson's
great company at the New York
Academy Of Music. Madam Gerester.
the famous prima donna Of the Ma.
pleson regime. recognized great
promise in Edith Helenas voice ev-.

the encouragement given her as a

brings back to us Bailey and Austin
after their recent triumphs in the
vaudeville houses of Europe. The
eccentric and grotesque work OF
these two famous comedians has
long ago caused the hearty stamp of
theatrical approval to be theirs. With
a supporting company of seventy
people, a score of new tricks and
novelties, "The Top o. TIL World

1t is SO far and away different
from the average travelling attraction
that it really occupies niche all
its own. 1t is today a rarer COM
,bination of musical comedy, extrava
ganza, pantomime, farce and specta-
Gle than anything which has been
produced in a score of years. 1t is
hrimful of clever things and clever
people. 1t is a magnificent scenic
production. 1t is magnificent cleo

ciple, it's fundamental idea, is come !

in fact, but prescription for feeling

The management of '"The Top O.

retaining almost the entire original !

is one of the few really large organ

glowing terms and greeted it as the

The story Of 'The Girl in the
Taxi is as 1aughable as it is inter-
esling; its plot full to OVERLOOKING
with situations an dcomplications
which move with the rapidly of a
racing-car on high speed. Laughter
is the keynote and the peals of mer-
riment evoked from curtain to cur
tain follow each other like discharges
from gatling gun. The climaxes
are hilarious and side-splitting in
their unexpectedness and originality
There is the father, rich and re-
spected banker who is all that he
should be while in the home circle,
surrounded by his wife and by his
son, BERTHE. BERTHE has just reached
the long pants" age and is eager to
spend money like his father. He
finds this hard task inasmuch as
his allowance is but $500 a mos tn.
In order to secure enough funds with
which to buy flowers for his girl"
BERTHE takes most of his fathers
clothes to a nearby pawnshop and
secures enough change" to keep an
appointment with 'the girl in the
taxi" and orders delightful little
supper for two.
There is the nephew from Phila-
delphia who comes to New York
twice year to have his throat treat
ed by an eminent New York special
list whose practise, strangely enough.
is chiefly among the female members
of the stage. Consequently the
nephew takes long time in getting
rid of his cold.
A friend of the family who Is al
ways turning UP at the wrong mo-
ment contributes his share to compli-
cate matters A Freech maid, who
gives BERTHE the first lessons in
love-making is also an important

the piece from start to finish.
Add to these a perfume manufact-
urer from New Jersey with wife
who chooses rather to remain in
New York and keep an appointment
with BERTHE instead of going back to
Red Bank, her home, after seeing
her husband away at the depot, and
the embarrassments which follow,
especially when it is known that
father, son. nephew, perfume manu-
facturers and his wife Mignon all
meet In the same private dining
rooms, can better be imagined than
described.
The musical specialties introduced
"The Girl In the Taxi
with songs and dances, contrast
with the rapid-fire situa-
lions and afford breathing spells In
the merry-maiing. The cast select
ed to preseat "The Girl in the Taxi"
in this city is one Of unusual excel
lence, and no detail has been over
looked In the costly production.

RINK FIVE WON.

Rink Five won" was the news
circulated around the community
last Friday morning and referred to
the deciding game between the above
mentioned team and the Alerts. 1t
was great game and a greater VIC
tory for the Rink boys, who won in
a decisive manner and can now be
almost sure of being called the
champions of Wayne county.
The Rink team changed their line
up little, putting McDermott in
center and the two Polts changed
places, guard and forward. The
change worked well, the work of ].
Polt featuring. Each team had won
two games previous to this and each
was very confident of victory in this
game. This rivalry brought out one
of the largest crowds of the season,
who brought along their fish horns,
COW bells and lots of lung power to
cheer their respective teams to vic
tory.
The Rink Five started off with a
rush and had a basket in the first
minute of play, and made eight
points to the Alerts one in the first
half. The final score was 20 to 12.
