AUDITORIUM.
"Fine Feathers"

That line of distinction so often ob- scurred between graft and opportun- ity gets four peop.e into fearful mess in Fine Feathers which H. H. FraZee will present here at the Auditorium, on January 8.
 The play comes direct from its tri- umphant recordlbreaking engage ments in the Cort Theatre. Chicago, and the Astor Theate, New York, where 1t ran all of last season.
 It is the story of how woman's love of finery so twisted her view point that she could not see where opportunity leaves off and graft be- gins, and Eugene Walter, the author, has told it in masterful manner. Much might be written of the play. of the lesson it conveys, the philosophy it presents and the varied emotions 1t arouses.

THE NEW CENTRAL.

One of the good resolutions you might make today, even though it be twenty-tour hours ahead of time, would be to see the New Central pro gram. It is safe to state, after you have seen what the management has to offer, you will admit that the reso- lution would be well taken. for there Is a matinee idol" holding forth in the greatest two-reel romance Es- sanay ever released. He is Francis X. Bushman, who is starring in The Stigma" a gripping story of love and sacrifice. This is one of the best hol. iday features the New Central will offer
 In connection with this comes The Conscience of Hassan Bey," a great Biograph special. which mean charac- ter portrayals for which this company is noted.

AT THE PRINCESS.

The last word in acroDatics, espe- cially in tumbling and hand balanc- ing, is to be seen at the Princess with the bill for the fore part of the week, and today is the last day to see this wonderful act. Angelo Arminti and Brothers, three Japanese acrobats. have without doubt, made good in their distinction of being the worlds fastest tumblers. They turn somer- saults and fip-faps in such rapid suc- cession that you completely lose sight Of the human form of the performer and see instead 9 rapidly revolving hoop Their hand balancing and head work is also superior to anything seen here this season, but they excel es- pecially in tumbling
 Lupita Perea, Parisian aerial won- der, is the greatest aerial performer Princess patrons have seen on this or any other stage. She is a real won der, performing some feats never be- fore attempted in mid air, and she does them with such grace and pre- cision that she is the marvel of all beholders.
 The Bergens. juvenile musical ar. tists two wonderfully gifted children, with violin and piano. have a delight. ful musical offering.

Miss Mann is an especially clever singer and Mir Mann on lne piano is a splendid aid to her talent Miss Mann sings her own compositions. and mears some stunning gowns designat- ed by herself, all of which add an ar tistic touch to the act.
 Keefe, Love and Thorn. a clever trio in a sketch. Hello Girl. Hello Boy and Hello Piano." made their ini- tial appearance with the bill last night and made a splendid hit.

THE LYRIC.

Leah Baird and Wm. Shay in Love on Throne," Imp in two reels. n order to get the desired effect this picture was produced in Germany.
 In a remote part of southern Ger many there is little kingdom, Rura- mia. which. in it's small sphere, em- braces all the political intrigues and sorrows of a larger Kingdom. The monarch, Frederick, old and weak, has two sons, the Crown Prince Will helm and Albert. The king is a tool of his ministers, and the early access sion of Wilhelm is feared by them because of his evident strength and pawer.
 Wilhelm, played in a forceful and manly style by William Shay, has been made the hero of the story. Miss Beard enacts the part of an opera singer, who exercises, unwittingly, a great influence over the destinies of the crown prince and the kingdom. in a wonderfully sympathetic and fetching manner. Love is the under lying motive of the piece It thrills with exciting situations; it impresses with the pomp and elegance that abound in the old world courts, and the delicate way in which the love theme has been handled by the ar- lists and director goes to the very heart of one and holds one in wrapt attention to the end when the king renounces all to cleave unto love.
 Slim Turns the Tables" Frontier comedy. Slim is followed by the boys and when he goes to visit his sweet heart, Molly, Mrs. Burley, her mother, chases Slim away with d broom. The boys also get taste of the domestic weapon, when the irate old lady dis covers them in the role of rubber necks. Slim is telling the boys what he thinks of Mrs. Burley when Molly approaches, and overhearing his harsh words, turns him down cold.

It affords opportun- ities for Roy Puryianee, a capital ie- gitimate comedian, and Countess Olga von Hatzfeldt, an able associate, to keep large audiences manifestlng their appreciation.

character of the play makes the contests peculiarly

Briefly. the American game is the more brilliant
The reliance upon individual dash and skill more
constant The English method looks far more to

Of married women to teach in the citys schools is
unquestioned. Yet It is the amiable notion of these
