COLONIAL THEATRE.
Jess, Rider Haggard's Powerful Dra-
 ma of South Africa. in Four Reels.

Romance and adventure are crowd ed into every page of the novels of Rider Haggard, and in none of them are these two clements of human in terest more conspicuous than in his story of Jess. which is the four-reel feature at the Colonial theatre today. It is indeed a wonderful feature the leading parts being intrusted to Con stance Crawley. who plays the title role, and Arthur Maude, the peerless player and producer. The story is a brilliant one with a plot laid in South Africa at the time of the Boer war. and some remarkable scenes of the undisciplined British in their crude attempts at soldiery are shown in the war scenes. A delightful love theme pervades the plot, and Jess, the little guardian of the orphaned sister, is seen in her many acts of self-sacrifice. including the relinquishing of her claim on John Neil, the dashing Eng fish youth, in favor of her younger sister. True to her promise to the dying mother Jess tenderly cares for the little sister. until she places her in the arms of the man who has prom fsed to love and cherish her until the end. Other brilliant features are shown including the standard films for which the Colonial theatre has be- come famous

Myrkle- Harder Company Makes a Big Hit at the Davis Theatre Last Night, With The Fortune Hunter.

What a splendid company! Simply grand! It's great! Was the one out burst as the audience filed out of the Davis theatre last evening. The au- dience was large, and wildly enthusi- astic. The people of Norwich know a good show, and manifest their appre- citation of it.
 Of the play-words cannot express it's grandeur and effectiveness. N1yr- kie-Harder Co promised a great pro- auction and they kept their word. It was far beyond our most sanguine expectations.
 The Fortune Hunter permits of an unusual amount of stage settings, in particular the old drug store in the second act is transformed into mod ern, up-to-date one. also in the last act, the rainstorm scene was very eff fective; in fact, the whole production was exactly as presented at the New Amsterdam, N Y. where it had a long successful run.
 Miss Myrkle, the leading lady. is just as popular as ever with theatre goers, and she was simply immense as Betty Graham, the old drugstore keepers daughter. MT. Burtin, a good looking, natural, unconcerned actor, ginally played by John Barrymore and we will not draw comparisons but if MT. Barrymore played the part any better, he went some" Special mention should be made of Messrs Dempsey Hall. Ward, Haines, Depew, and Wertman, and of the ladies. Misses Lounsberry. Geraldine Russell and NelIa Russell, comprise Q cast of unusually clever actors and actresses
 Tonight this company will present Charles Klein's powerful dramatic play, The Third Degree. This piece was sensation in New York, where 1t ran for over a. year. and is one of the most gripping and impressive plays ever written

rRELAWNEY OF THE WELLS.
Play to Be Given by the Academy Sen
 iors.


 Have you ever seen Trelawney of the Wells? Perhaps you saw Mary Mannertng in the title role and re- member how pretty she looked in her quaint dress, with it's skirt of I7Iffies and ruff1es, and then more ruffies And such a skirt-wide enough to make two or three modern ones!
 The play itself is somewhat unusual It has, to be sure, g, conventional love story running through it. but this is simple enough, and does not make the main part of the play. The chief in terest lies in the characters. and the loyalty of friend to friend. There are two distinct groups of characters. sharply contrasted with the slender connecting link of the love story to hold them together.
 We are first introduced to the the atrical folk" as Sir Arthur Pinero calls them. They are about to give a farewell cold collation. to Rose Ire IaWney, whose engagement to Arthur GoWer makes necessary the giving -up her position at The Wells theater. They are warm hearted, friendly peo- pie, these actors, in spite of their boisterous ways, and Rose is their idol Even Ablett, the green grocer pressed into service as butler on this moment ous occasion. and Sarah, the little maid, sincerely regret the loss that they are all to suffer while Avonia Weeps at the prospect of Roses de parture. You can't help liking Avo- mia, for underneath her careless speech and stagey exterior there beats a loyal and devoted little heart
 Notwithstanding their regret at los Ing Rose. it is a lively, noisy group that gather around the table to do justice to the bounty of the motherly 1andlady, Mrs. NIossop. She makes all her lodgerS comfortable, but has an especially soft spot in her heart for Tom Wrench, perhaps because his love for Rose, an open secret among them all, can never hope for any return.
 Of the other actors. MT and Mrs Teller, kindly. pompous and import ant, give dignity to the scene; Gadd and Colpoys indulge in various antics. and Imogen Parrott, formerly of The Wells, lends grace and distinction to the occasion. Arthur Cover with eyes for no one but Rose, is made cor dially welcofiie by their friends No wonder they all love her with her mer- ry, impulsiye ways, and simple, un- spoiled nature.
 In the second act we are taken into the fornlality and stiffness of the Cow CT drawing room in Cavendish square where>we find Rose visiting Ion ap- proval." Here rule supreme Sir Will liam Gower, of such a violent and overbearing temper that no one dares to oppose him, and his sister, Miss Trafalgar Gower, whose standard of prosperity is that no action shall be out of place." Poor Rose can hard lv be happy in such an atmosphere, and at the end of the act, after an up-

We discover some tenderness under Sir William s fierce exterior, and are glad to see something more of that merry trio, AYonia, Gadd and Colpoys.
