THE WOMAN"

In no play seen in recent years has
woman's loyalty to woman been pic
tured so convincingly as it is now be-
ing done in David Belasco's intensely
interesting production of "The Wom-
an" which comes to the Tulane Thea
ire me week commencing Sunday, jan.
uary 18th.
William c. de Mile, the author,
adroitly exploits this virtue in Wanda
Kc,lv. a clever telephone operator who
refuses to disclose the secret of an
other woman's life and one who is
practically unknown to her. Though
most women believe that man is wom-
ans most dependable friend, Wanda
Kelly proves a new creed and with
stands the temptation of undreamt
wealth to divulge the woman's name
whose secret she holds safely locked
in her heart. Ten thousand dollars
proves no temptation to part with it..
Besides teeming with heart interest,
which is sure to make that lump"
rise in your throat, THE Woman" en-
braces much humor, comedy and
laughs, which go to making the play
an amusing as well as instructive en-
tcrtainment. 1t gives an insight into
our national politics as practiced by
the men in the affairs of the govern
rnent. All the tricks of the politicians
with the ruthless disregard of the well
fare of individuals when the interest
of the party" Is at stake are shown.
It pictures how trifling are the de-
mands Of the constituency when the
vast money power of Wall Street puts
its heel down on the Office holder. But
in The Woman" Wall Street and all
its Vaccinations fathered up by clev-
er lawyers are defeated and the wom-
an whose name is made the price of
victory is saved.
Every member of Mr.. Belasco's per-
feet cast has scored strongly. Mar
jorie Wood, who is the switchboard
girl, wins every heart by her charm,
her brightness and capital acting;
beautiful Marian Barney is admirable
in a powerful, emotional role; as the
party boss, the head of the corrupt
political machines, James Seeley. How
ell Hansel takes the part Of the in
surgent leader whose ruin the machinel
seeks, and Austin Webb plays the hus-
bard of the woman whose secret the
machine is seeking to publish broad
cast.

house. The audience included most of
the -Four Hundred" of the great city
Among those present were many of
the younger set who look with favor
on the Bunny Hug" THE Hoop
Whiri," '"The Turkey Trot" and The
Texas Tommy" all new dancing varia-
tons.
Some Of the younger buds were so
immensely pleased with the dancing of
this minstrel star that they decided to
ask him if he was just as skillful as an
instructor as in exhibiting difficult
saltatorial steps. Modesty forbade
Hyde answering them. The Honey
Boy" was then appealed to, and what
he said in paying enconiums about
this principal of his show must have
been sufficient, as a flattering offer
was made to Hyde.
This superb soft shoe dancer &C.
cepted the proposition presented to
him. When it came time for him to
report for rehearsals, for this years
show, in addition to wonderful ward
robe that surpassed any Of his previ-
| Gus best efforts, he was well lined with
funds; also he said he had the time of
his life in showing the dainty damsels
of the upper set how to master the
difficult dancing steps.
Hyde, Vaughn Comfort, the worlds
best interlocutor, and John King, the
Incompatible wench delineator. are
now considering forming a partnership
to instruct wealthy society folk in min
strelsy, singing, dancing and other de-
partments of the theatrical profess
sion that do not conflict with the le-
climate, their attitude being born Of
Hyde's unusual success in his first
fling in dancing on the upper crust.

LYRIC THEATRE.

Mr.. Peruchi announces for the COM
ing week production of Uncle Toms
Cabin" that promises to outclass any
Given of the old favorite in this city.
He has been preparing the presenta-
ton for several weeks and the patrons
of the popular stock theatre may be
sure of something of higher class
than usual in giving this play.
Especially for next week a number
OF Colored buck and wing dancers and
singers have been engaged for the
plantation scenes. The Tulane Quar-
tctte will also render selections. Mr..
lPeruchi assures his patrons and
friends that nothing will be omitted to
make this the most successful week of
the season.
For Uncle Toms Cabin" several
sets of scenery are being painted,
among them being cotton plantation
in full bloom. A mechanical effect
that will be especially startling will
be the famous steamboat racing scene
The wellknown scenic features will
be included and by the way tickets are
being sold it looks like another stand
ing room only" week. Mr.. Peruchi
promises complete performance and
his friends here know that means an
Entertainment without the slightest
flaw, as his season has proven.
Uncle Toms Cabin" tells good
story of the South in a thoroughly pa
triotic way; it holds forth the best
sentiments of the people in this Sec
ton, and it points to salient lessons
which have proven worthy of the most
sincere emulation. Virtue and honor
are upheld and no one who sees the
play can help but be impressed.
The entire company and host of
auxiliaries will be seen and a pleasant
time is assured for those who attend.
The Street Singer" with Mabel
Gypzene playing the leading role, has
attracted large audiences all this week.
K is one of Hal Reds best plays and
is filled with startling climaxes and
thrilling scenes. 1t is a real melo-
drama and that it is popular with the
lplaygoers is shown by the business
done thus far.
AS a special New Years matinee at
traction the management featured Ma
bel Gypzene in the leading role and
the success it attained Thanksgiving
matinee was repeated.

his church with song books free OF

would not be offensive to the mem

Since the books we're being secured
for nothing the preacher gave the
order and the books arrived.
He explained from the pulpit how
the books had been secured and
announced that they would sing No

Rifle Bullets Made
Merry Music
Rifle Practice Shows Lots of
Push Behind the Bullet.
Passed Through 80 Inch
Cottonwood

Foster Allen motored out east OIL
town day or so ago with Chic
Grady, Policemen Lou Grelsel and
will Irwin in his Auburn touring
car for little rife practice with
the new thirty Winchester repeating
rifles that came into the possession
of the police force this winter.
The force has never had an oppor-
tunlty to try out on criminal so
they &c ok themselves to the woods,
set up nice white target against a
blackberry tree sixteen inches in
diameter and moved a hundred
yards back from the tree and blazed
away at it. For being a block
from the tree, some of the marks,
manship was quite fair, coming
with two or three inches of the
bulls eye, while other shots wer
considerably more wild. AS Cniet
Grady says, " ur craftsmanship
did bot worry us much, but 1t Ger
t'lnly was funny TO shoot and then
fad the bullet had gone through
the tree just as il i, had been q big
cheese. Then we tried it on big
cottonwood that measured thirty
inches in diameter. OF course
that is softer wood but it was So
big hat we had no idea the builet
would go through bu: it did just as
if it WASN'T any thicker than a
little pine board"
1t is claimed that the rifles will
send a bullet two miles. and will
carry accurately for the distance
of half mile.
One of the steel jlcketed bullets
used at practice struck a rock bluff
after passing through tree and
when dug out of the rock had the
imprint of nearly perfect Elks
head on ii. This was carefully
preserved by one of the marksman.
Chief Grady said this. ''We
just wanted to find out what those
rifles would do, and we found out
they would be ticklish propositions
to stand In front of when there was
a m an behind with his finger on
the trigger, even if one was block
or so away"

Orchard Tuesday
Orchards Should Be Prof.
tabIe---Small Cost of
Spraying.

The orchard of six hundred
cherry trees belonging 10 R. N
Allen came in for its share of at
tention Tuesday afternoon from
George o. Green, the orchard
specialist sent here from Manhattan
fol the purpose of conducting a
demonstration of spraying at the
old Baird orchard, now leased by
Mckee, Burris and Mathis.
Mr.. Green said that the cherry
orchard was In the pink of condl-
ton and the trees IN shape to make
a fine growth. The trees are very
young but few gallons of large
size fruit were taken from them last
year.
Mr.. Green believes in the paying
qualities of orchards In Kansas.
He says that spraying is the differ
ence between success and failure
in the orchards of this section. A
normal apple orchard should be
made to pay three hundred and
fifty dollars net per acre. Spray
ing is the all important thing and
ii is after all very small amount
to pay for crop.
With the spray used at the
demonstration Tuesday the cost
did not exceed three cents per tree.
