AMUSEMENT NOTES.
MADAME Sherry" Strong Attraction,
at Opera House Friday.

George w. Lederer's name as pro-
dllcer OF musical pieces usually spells
something near the last word in approx
mate perfection of production. Play
gcers familiar with the managers sue.
ccsees while he held forth at the New
York Casino. at time when he con-
trolled the fortunes of Lillian Russell,
Jefferson DeAngelis, Walter Jones, Da-
vid Warfeld, Louis Mann, Edna May,
Maybelle Gilman, Paula Edwardes and
other stars, had opportunity during that
period to observe the finished quality Of
the managers theatrical equipments. In
MADAME sherry musical production
that has scored success this season in
New York OF greater popular magni-
tide than any musical piece offered in
the metropolis in score of years, the
Lederer touch and the Lederer manner
are said to be vitality contributing ele-
ments counting of the Productions fu-
rore acclaim. Aside from the notes OF
mrth struck by the story and past
performance has demonstrated that no
one better than Lederer knows how to
eject stage fun Madame Sherry is
said to fascinate not alone by its score
with its rayishing "Ey'ry Little Move
ment Has Meaning All Its Own
theme, but to enthrall as well by the
general beauty shimmering throughout
the productions three acts. The scenic
for this Lederer artistry
are New York gilded youths studio,
with beyies Of dancing feminine guests
devoted TO Greeian terpsichors, the salon
OF millionaire's yacht at anchor in
New York bay, and the after-deck of
the same yacht under moonlight, under
full sail in the waters Off Coney island,
with the yachts feminine guests as
models for the Lederer ingenuity and
taste in costuming. The conduct OF
every member of the cast, which term
takes in the feminine chorus, is said,
too, to reflect this general sense of
beauty, quality that one unconscious
" appreciates. who listens to many of
the airs of the published score of the
production. MADAM Sherry is to be
presented here at the opera house on
Friday, February 20.

OF larceny. Haslett's life is fast ebbing
away in his Brooklyn home, the "house

Senator Gardner and George Decker,
a nurse, are charged with conspiring
to defraud Haslett's heirs through a
will. Decker is said to have confessed
to the police that he brought Gardner
into the case.
Decker told the police that Haslett
was incompetent to sign will.
A subsequent examination of Mr.. Has
lett by Magistrate Kempner at the
"Louse of mystery" showed that the
hermit did not know what be was sign
ing and that he had no idea that he
placed his signature to. a will.
The new charge against Gardner is
that he falsely obtained signatures to
two alleged wills and power of at
torney. The magistrate directed that
Gardner give additional bonds and re-

"Dante's Inferno" Thursday, February
%, Matinee and Night.

History does not record sweeter
love than which inspired the immortal
Tuscan poet, Dante, ia his affection
for Beatrice A thousand pictures have
made the scenes depicting the platonie
and spiritual relations of these two
lovers familiar to almost everyone. As
a result of his profound love and wor-
ship of Beatrice, as a type of pure and
sublime womanhood, Dante has given
to the world one of the greatest monu-
mcnts in the worlds literature, the di-
vine comedy. The best known part of
this immortal work is the Inferno" or
hell. which by reason Of its graphic de-
scTiption and compelling power early
caught the admiration Of the people,
and was most easily understood.
In order to make the beauties and
charms of this deathless creation intel
ligible to the great masses, company
OF famous italian artists have rendered
the entire poem into moving pictures.
These pictures will he shown at the
opera house on Thursday, February %,
matinee and night. 1t would be inn
possible within the narrow limits Of
a newspaper paragraph to convey even
small idea OF the magnlilcence OF
this production. Neither pains nor time
nor money have been SPACED and the
greatest human skill and art procurable
have been secured to produce work
which is worthy even OF the genius of
Dante. Not even the illustration of
Gustav Dore can give an adequate con-
ception of what the makers of this
flm have achieved. Almost the entire
thIrty.four cantos have been used, and
every striking and remarkable point in
the poem has been brought out with
marvellous power and accuracy in the
pictures.
A full explanation Of the picture is
given by competent lecturer, during
the running of the film. Music and
elects have been specially prepared to
bring out with greater emphasis, the
thoughts and imaginations of the poet
