II HEATERS


Some Idea Of the success achieved
by werba aud gsuescher's latest OBJ
EZRA, The Rose Maid which Alan
Dale in the New York american de-
Iciared to ne prettier than its sister
opera, THE Spring Maid" may be
obtained from the following which
appeared the other day in the New
York Evening journal:
The Rose Maid the pretty and
tanefui operetta now at the Globe
Itheater. has scored that rarest OF
rare thinns in the summer time, a
cumulative success. and if you
have amy doubts as to what that
might be, go to- the Globe theater
and the crowds there every night
will be an explanation.
ut is not an mn common thing for
a comic opera to be successful dur
ing the spring and settle down for
a summer run, but that is not what
The Rose Maid has done. 1t made
its initial bow, and has been settling
up weekly to every increasing re-
ceipts that prove it is becoming
more and more popular as the
weather becomes hotter.
There are number of excellent
reasons for this. It's music. by
Bruno Branichstaedten, is of the
catchylyet musical sort that is man
ufactured abroad while its dramatic
story is engaging and sensible
enough to make you wonder why
you are there hearing it. Moreover,
those in the leading parts in the
production are talented as actors,
and there is a number of sensational
voices doing justice to the music
THE Rose Maid" is distinctly a
worth while entertainment and will
be at the Robinson Grand Saturday,
February 10. for<matinee and night
performances.

Tonight the Pearl Stock Company
will present "The Heart Of Mexico
at the Victoria theater, and in do
ing SO Manager Webster hopes to
close his company's engagement here
Saturday nightiin a blaze OF glory,
for this play is proclaimed to be the
real thing in the line Of melodra-
matte thrillers. There is, however,
something besides thrills in it, but
the thrills are perhaps the best
thing it possesses, for it is good to
look upon a play that moves with
the spirit of storm and keeps the au-
dience keyed up to the highest pitch
OF excitement, when its story is
novel and plausible and it's charac-
tiers are natural. Its chief charac-
ter is that of Dolores, played by Miss
Lewis. who is half Mexican. Down
in Donna Anna county, N. NJ,
thiggs go we'll until Dolores is left
a large fortune, which Miguel Zate-
capas, Mexican, and Tom RatbS
bone, a black sheep of a good FAM
lily, try to secure, both protesting
love for the Child of sorrow" One
of the thrilling moments of the play
is when Dolores repulses the adj
vances OF Rathbcne, who is instantly
killed and thrown into we'll by the
Jealous Zatecapas, and for a time
the girl Is made to believe she killed
the man, which proves barrier to
her love for Captain Nelson Rath-
bone, of the United States army, a
twin brother of Tom Rathbone.
Fitting between the dramatic Lines
/ is an abundance of clever comedy,
the burden OF which is carried by
two comical Mexicans who follow
Dolores to her magnificent Washing
ton, D, c., home, and who. in the big
city are much like the proverbial
fish out of water"
