AT THE EMPIRE.

BY the time the Selig Polyscope
company has arranged to visualize
Rex Beach's noted book, The Spoil
ers," which comes to the Empire to-
morrow, some features of the original
environment had been eliminated, and
it was necessary to restore them to
preserve the atmosphere Of the orig
inal work Main street, in the city of
Nome, had been wrecked by a tidal
wave, and then eliminated by fire that
followed when the ruins were timber
dry. With the aid of old photographs,
every detail was restored carefully for
this reincarnation of the famous pla-
Ger mining town on the bleak shores
of Behring sea. 1t will be recalled in
the book, that the miners, to rebuke
the lawless invaders, who had under
the false shadow of legal advice, taken
their property, in revenge destroyed
the mining camp of Midas. This was

mining settlement was purchased, and

stage.
Elaine De Sellem is introduced dur
ing the second act as the old witch OF
gypsy, whose life seems to be filled
with tragedy. At the conclusion Of
the justly celebrated anvil chorus
she unfolds the plot to Manrico and
there seems to be set purpose in the
theme from that time on.
Miss De Sellem in her role has occa-
sion to sing at least three of the most
beautiful parts in the entire opera.
The first of these is during the second
act when she unfolds the story of the
troubadour. The voice, at first full
and rich, with little of the animate,
soon rises to emphatic appeal and the
climax is remarkable. In the next act
she is seen in captivity and pleads
with the count. In the final act she
is seen in the tower. In all places she
handles the theme Understandings
and portrays the part to the apparent
keen delight of her hearers.
While there seems to be more melo'
dy in this opera than in most like pro-
auctions, the most effective part in it
all comes in the last act for the prison
scene. The quartet is heard in the
tower singing the miserere with the
heroine outside denoting her despair,
first chanting, now pleading with the
adamant, cCnniving and villainous
count. then as if sending her cry to
the gods. This scene furnishes the
greatest climax of the production, and
after it there comes u period of re-
Taxation which even the dungeon
scene of the tower does not dispel I'M
til it has been forgotten. If any part
of an opera can grip the untutored hui
man soul, it is certainly this. III TROY

next Sunday. This comedy is a bright
of the difficulties of trio
of happy individuals who slip from

frightful consequences of that one lit
tie slip. The play is full of laughable
for they beat upon real hui
man nature offerings that have a place
in our every day life. There is a
moral sticking out all over it-"Don't
Lie TO Your wife" You bet the hus-
band never will again after seeing this
performance. Now and then a must
cal number is introduced with de-
icious blending into the comedy. The
gowning is exquisite and the girls
