The story of Aladdin and his won

is considered a beautiful fairy story.
1t is, however, in no wise more beau

city of Ensley. built by the modern
genii of the industrial world, using the
rich resources of coal and iron ore.
While not old enough by 10 years to
have a silver jubilee of it's own, it is
entirely fitting that the twenty fifth

contain a brief story of the most pros

cHAUNcEY oLCoTT WILL
APPEAR AT THE NEWARK

Henry Miller offers Chauneey Oh
colt in a new military play, 1.-THE
Isle o. Dreams at the Newark
Theatre for one week, starting next
Monday evening. The play, which is
from the pen Of Rida Johnson Young,
deals with the period of Irish life
directly at the close of the French
Revolution, which has hardly been
touched upon by dramatic writer's.
1t was an epoch which saw some
Of the most stirring times in Ire
land, when the entire country was
hourly expecting an invasion by the
dreaded Napoleon. Off the south
coast of the island, where the action
of the play takes place, lookouts
were constantly posted to watch for
the coming of the French fleet. Every
town of any size on the seacoast was
heavily garrisoned by British troops
and the entire island was under the
rigor of military occupation.
1.-THE Isle o. Dreams tells an ex-
citing story Of a young fisher-boy,
a founding of the sea, who is asked
Wy lfAo udA6lltCI VI HIS
lord to save from capture as a spy
of Bonaparte a young man whom
she confesses is very dear to her.
This young fisher lad, Ivor Kelway,
played by Mr.. Olcott, is in love with
his young patroness, and, although
heartbroken at the thought that he
Is probably saving her lover for her,
leads the English soldiers on false
scent, and is himself captured and
convicted by a courtmartial.
1t is needless to say that he does
not receive the death sentence, how
ever, for it is learned that he is the
younger brother of the British COM
mander, and therefore of noble birth
and eligible TO the hand of the young
lady he served. 1t also develops that
the man he saved Is the girls brother,
not her lover, and the play ends with
TIA, faint chime of marriage bells
ringing in the imagination.
: Mr.. Miller has provided THE Isle
o. Dreams" with some beautiful
stage settings, particularly those of
the second and last acts. There is
an excellent company in Mr.. Olcott's
support.

The bill will also serve to introduce

comedians, Elphye Snowden and Earl

talented pair need no introduction to

PAXTON COMPANY WILL
PRODUCE ROMANTIC PLAY

Full of stage pictures of compelling
beauty Duchess Du Barry will be
presented by the Corse Payton Stock
Company at the Orpheum Theatre
next week. It will be the first oppor-
tunity the company has had to show
it's ability in the performance in ro-
mantle drama.
Gripping as this play by Jerrold
Sheppard is by reason Of his skilful
handling of the plot, it becomes still
more absorbing to the lover of what
is best in dramatic art when he or
she keeps in mind that all that hap
pens upon the stage were actual oc-
currences during the reign of Louis
VI. in France With faithfulness to
historical facts the playwright tells
the story Of the kings love for the
beautiful Jeanne Becu, the poor MILL
ner, who rose to the rank of Duchess
Du Barry and helped Richelieu to
power. The Characterization of Richie
lieu is worthy of note since the play
presents him in the days of his youth
when he was marshal of France.
In the role of Du Barry, Miss Mabel
Brownell, the charming young lead
ing woman, has perhaps the greatest
opportunity of her career, and as the
King, Clifford Stork has an equal
chance to win new laurels. Arthur
Jarrett will portray Richelieu; Jo-
seph Girard, Duke de Choiseul; Harry
B. Roche. Count de Saint Germaine;
Edmund Sorgahan, Count de Segan;
Lee Sterrett, DR.. Santuzzi; Miss
Mabel Estelle, Countess de Brissac;
Miss Sadie Radcliffe, Nine. Frouarde,
and Miss Lillian Stuart, Sister Marie.
