run of 15o nights at the Astor theatre,
New York, last season. which followed
record breaking engagement of six
months at the Cort theatre, Chicago. SO
great was the demand for Fine feath-
ers' throughout the country this season
that Manager Frazee organized four COM
panies to present it on the road. How
ever, few of the most important cities
will enjoy an engagement of the original
cast with its list of famous stars. in
cluding Robert Edeson, Walter Lackaye,
Max F'igman, Rose Coghlan, Lolita Rob-
ertson. Lyla Dickson and the others who
participated in the metropolitan engage
ments of the play.
Fine Feathers is the work of Eugene
Walter, a famous dramatist and expon-
ent of realism on the stage. The plays
of this author are noted for their
punch" and vigor, brilliant and satirical
lines and for characters drawn from life.
He is the author of such successful
dramas as paid in Full '"rhe Easiest
Way" 1.-THE Wolf and THE Trail of the
Lonesome Pine, and his newest work is
conceded to be his masterpiece The
metropolitan critics devoted columns to
it, throwing aside all conventional phrases
and resorting to such terms as, 1.-THE
play is perfect and the acting unequaed.'
With Robert Edeson in the role of the
husband, a man with ideals inconsistent
with modern business methods; with Will
ton Lackaye as the typical man of bus-
ness, broad in ideas and narrow in
scruples; with Max Figman as the news
paper reporter who views life at first
hand and becomes a good-natured cynic;
with Rose Coghlan as the sophisticated
and garrulous neighbor; with Lolita Rob
ertson as the young wife whose love for
fine feathers makes her blind to the
nceties of life; with Lydia Dickson as
the modern maid, and The other parts in
the hands of the original players, the
perfection of the performance need hard
ly be dwelt upon.

skater The girls are beautifully cos
tuned and there is a special stage set
ting. which includes a complete hard
wood flood for use by the skaters.
The contribution of the Germans is
matched by that of the Indians. La
Mestena a princess of Moki tribe of In
dams. is offering her snake dance. The
princess had to secure special permission
from the United States government ne
fore she was allowed to present this
dance, and the medicine men of the tribe
had to grant their permission also, as
it is a portion of the religious ceremonial
of the tribe. She uses rattlesnakes, which
are supposed to carry the messages whs-
pered through them to the sun god TO
bring rain when needed The princess Is
a graceful woman and her dance Is filled
with excitement.
With these two headliners, there are
three other "acts" of merit in which

will offer comedy juggling specially
and the pair is said to be clever in their
new tricks The act is a big laugh pro-
Queer and will be the comedy feature OF

Because Orpheum audiences are so par
tial to singing comedy and dancing,
there are two such teams this week, but
they are widely different. Wheeler and
" ilson have a novelty which is said to
be very entertaining and clever, and in
1t they introduce songs and dancing The

and beautiful of the imported acts

Will Irwin's story, 1.-The Double Cross"
which appeared in the Saturday Evening
Post, has been dramatized into a vaude-
vile act and will be seen at the Lyric
during its tour, which has just COM

into the home of Quaker, where he is
nursed back to health by the daughter of

bachelor ideals are shattered by Lucy,
for she has captured his heart.
THE Girl of My Dreams" will be seen
here at the Jefferson Christmas day and

''The Quaker Girl" will be the attraction
at the Jefferson shortly and will be pre-
sented by a company headed by Victor

nice McCabe, Mile. Corday, Murray

Connie Mack, William Blaisdell, Adelaide

nouncement means a good attraction for
the current year.
Frederic Thompson's production of
polly of the Circus" will be one OF
the attractions at the jefferson in a
few weeks. 1t will be presented here
with Miss Elsie st. Leon in the titular
role. The third act reproduction of a
big tent show performance, while it
could hardly be made more realistic
than it always has been, will have
added features.
When Bayard veiller's absorbing
new American play, within the Law"
which the American Play company Is
to present here at the jefferson thea
tre in the near future. was given it's
initial performance at the Princess
theatre, Chicago, last spring, perhaps
the most interested and enthusiastic
person in the large and critical first
night audience was William A. Pm
kerton, the internationally famous de-
tective, who enjoys good dramatic en-
tertainment as keenly as solving
mysterious crime. So delighted was Mr.
Pinkerton with the applause the play
received at it's premiere that he could
not restrain himself from expressing to
it's author his opinion that within the
Law is the most impressive drama he
has ever witnessed.

much discussion and comment. This
was aroused by the authors rather
novel treatment of the modern moral
ity question, "ro what extent should
woman's future be shadowed and
what restrictions should be placed upon
a career dedicated to others. by moral
mistake due, in early youth, to ignor
