TULANE THEATRE.

Mr.. George Arliss, character actor,
than whom the English speaking stage
has none greater, comes to the Tulane
Theatre as the attraction for all
Christmas week, in a new play, de-
scribed as a tense drama, entitled
Jacques Duval" The attraction is
under the direction of Mr.. George c..
Tyler Jacques Duvar is an adapta-
ton by George S. Kaufman, dramatic
editor of the New York Times, of a
drama at the present moment running
in Paris and Berlin. 1t is said to
offer Mr.. Arliss unlimited opportuni-
ties In fact, Mr.. Tyler had made ar
rangements to present Mr.. Arliss this
season in another play, but when he
read Jacques DuvaP' he declared
there was no other actor in America
who could fittingly personate the lead
ing character. The drama is powerful
and cumulative, and its chief incident
concerns a scientific savant who has
spent years of experimentation on a
serum to cure tuberculosis. He Is
man absorbed in science and the per-
fiction of his discovery. On the eve
~ proclaiming this great discovery to
tpe world the information is secretly
brought to him that his wife, butter
fly creature, is unfaithful Her lover
is a victim of the white plague With
out apparently relaxing his efforts in
behalf of science, he seeks to effect
cure of the lover, with the intent of
making him well, because he cannot
kill sick man.
While medical science is the super
structure upon which Jacques Duval"
is built, the base is strong love inter
est
The production of Jacques Duval"
has been made with great care, and
the cast, including Elizabeth Risdon,
who last season was the female phil
anderer with William Gillette in Dear
Brutus," has the leading feminine role.
Others in the cast are Mrs. Arliss,
George Barr, Fernando Eliscu, Manart
Kippen, Guy Cunningham, A. Staple
ton Kent, Harold Thomas, Carl An
thony, William Seymour, William H.

ORPHEUM.

An actress who has attained to
stellar honors in every branch OF
theatrical endeavor will be the head
liner at the Orpheum all next week,
beginning with the matinee on Mon
day. She is the celebrated EVELYN
Nesbit, star of the legitimate stage,
vaudeville entertainer par excellence,
heroine of number of successful
motion picture plays, dancer of abil-
ity, and now a singer who is rapidly
winning national prestige with her
marvellously sweet and well-trained
voice. Miss Nesbit, who was last
seen here in dance revelation
which was an instant and continuous
success, will apear this time in her
own new and exclusive song revue.

master of topical songs, Lee Davis.
She will be assisted by Jimmie Dunn.
and Eddie Moran will be at the
piano. This will be one of the most
entertaining acts and one of the
most pretentiously staged offerings
OF the entire vaudeville season in
New Orleans, and the Orpheum man.
agement has devoted a great deal of
attention to the perfect staging Of
Miss Nesbit's revue, which has met
with constant flattering comment by
the dramatic critics all around the
Orpheum Circuit of Theatres of the
United States and Canada.
This great program for all next
week present, also, the return to
vaudeville of Horace Wright and
Rene Dietrich who have been serv-
ing throughout the war with that
vast number of actors and actresses
who dropped the work of their lives
to entertain the men of the American
Expeditionary Force. Mr.. Wright
and Miss Dietrich will offer songs
which have been found to be very
different from the ordinary run of
vaudeville song offerings. The
clever pair will be one of the attrac-
tions of the program.

Attention friends of our parochial

tertainment, for the benefit of this
cause. Do not forget the date nor
the place, next Monday at the H. N.

that will be staged, because the or
ganization that is promoting this
benefit does nothing on a small scale.
So come we'll prepared for a good
old time. There will be amusements
of all kinds. Misses Mamie Morri-
son, Clara Cassidy and the nonpareil
Mary Collins have been preparing a
musical and dancing program that
will be sure to please all present.
The ladies have been working hard
and deserve to make a great sue
cess of this their inaugural attempt.
Father Larkin and Father Nc
Grath have been helping the ladies,
and this alone spells success.
Hence let everybody be on hand
and help to start this work within
the spirit that will carry it through
with flying colors to final success
that is beautiful school that will
be source of pride to our parish
and benefit to our children.

wand, but by helping persons to live
a new life.

Sunday School, asking you to cooper
ate in our effort to raise money to re-
lieve the starving people and destitute

who were made to leave their homes
and wander in the cold, with nothing

these people? Come next Sunday and

chism classes will take place every

''You belong, I see" remarked one
of the walters.
Sure do was the reply. ~
Without more ado the waiter threw

Lets see how good you are"
The "bones" came out and clattered
merrily upon the vestibule floor. Then
the game became general, several 9TH
ers besides the walters and the con-
ductor participating. The car stopped
several minutes at the lower end of
the Twelfth street viaduct, while the
mOtorman came back and watched the
game. Near the east end of the via

Rosebreasted grosbeaks are here
ready for the potato bugs, which
eat the tops off the potatoes almost
as soon as they show themselves
above the ground. Rosebreasted
grosbeaks are called potato bug
birds because, during the season of
potato bugs, they live on them al
most exclusively. A pair of these
birds and their young devour so
many of the bugs that a good-sized
potato patch near them is kept
clean of the pest.
House wrens are valuable birds
IN the garden. The number Of bugs,
worms, etc., which pair of wrens
feed their young while in the nest
is almost unbelievable. They usu-
ally build their nests near garden,
where such food is plentiful.
