“WIFE IN NAME ONLY”

Is Name of Next. Drama to Be Presented by Gordon Co., at Ellis’ Theater Saturday Night. The performance of Goethe's “Faust” which was given here last Saturday night by the Gordon Stock Company , was something of a revelation to local theatre-goers as the play is in every way distinctive and iq a class of its own —it is considered one of the most difficult of plays to give an- adequate production of—and Mr. Gordon and his associates deserve especial credit for giving such a rounded and well balanced performance. ' The scenery and light effects were very good and the general opinion of the auditors was that it was one of the best that the stock company has given. The play for this week will be “Wife in Name Only,” a four act comedy drama—which, under a different name, ran in the city of New York for over a year. Although the story of this drama is a beautiful one there are no less than five comedy characters Introduced in the course of Its action. As a special inducement to lady patrons, all ladies attending the Saturday night performance will be presented with a silver souvenir teaspoon. Prices will remain 25c, 35c and 50 c.

Physical Culture for Drummers.

“There is no reason why you should omit your nightly physical culture acts while traveling,” said the confirmed drummer. “This set of movements, designed especially for people who travel in chairs, brings every muscle of the body into play. “No. 1. For the grip. Reach under the seat ahead of you and try to pull out your footrest. Don’t expect to be successful. “No. 2. Vary by jerking board from side to side. Continue till Well winded. “No. 3. For the lungs. Rise and swear. “No. 4. Bend forward from the upright position and try to break the board oft by pulling it upward. This effort, though not often crowned with success, is a splendid developer of the back muscles and should never be omitted. “No. 5. Sitting on the floor with the feet firmly braced, grasp the board tightly with both hands, pull with all your might, and try to.lift your body oft the floor. Some people object to this exercise on the ground that the mechanism might work and seat the athlete with a sudden painful jolt—but never fear. No one who ever had experience with footrests would think of such a thing. “No. 6. If you still have strength enough, try to raise the car window; then end by calling the porter.”—Kansas City Star.

A Novelty.

“Poor Clyde Fitch,” said a young playwright sadly, “was always ready to give advice and help to juniors. “I once described to Mr. Fitch a climax that seemed novel and strange to me. But Mr. Fitch said that novelty and strangeness had little value in climaxes —real human interest was the thing. “He Instanced an extraordinary, a quite unique climax, that would yet be bound to fall. “In this climax the hero, a chap with wooden legs, stumps breathlessly across the stage as fast as his two wooden legs will carry him. A woman, brandishing a butcher’s cleaver, is In pursuit. The woman overtakes the man. She upsets him. Kneeling, she brandishes the cleaver about his artificial limbs. “ ‘Herbert Mannering,’ she cries, ‘pay me the six weeks’ board you owe, or I will cut both your wooden legs off!’”

ELLIS THEATRE X ONE NIGHT ONLY ' Saturday, Feb. 17 F. S. Gordon Presents The Stock Co. in the great four act drama Vi! il !■ Ollj Beautifully munted and costumed. Souvenir teaspoons given away to all lady patrons. Prices 25, 35, 50c SEATS AT JES SEN’S ROSE GRANDLY TO OCCASION Bobbs’ Convincing Proof That He Was Capable of Act of Generosity at Times. The evangelist had got everybody worked up to a high pitch of emotional generosity. Men and women all oVer the church were throwing their possessions into the contribution plate. Qne man removed the pearl studs from the front of his shirt and placed them among the contributions. Another gave his watch and chain. One woman literally threw her diamond necklace into the plate, while from all sides came rolls of bills, scarf-pins, jewels of kinds. “Those of you who have come unprepared,” said the exhorter, during a lull in the proceedings, “will have time to go home and get their gifts, for I shall continue this meeting for three or four hours yet." “Fine,” said Bobbs, rising hurriedly, and starting for the door. “I’ll be back in ten minutes, Doctor,” and out he sped. The enthusiasm continued, and the great fund rolled up, and yet there were many who kept tab on Bobbs. He was not a generously disposed per* son as a rule, and they were interested to see what he would bring with him to devote to the cause, and they did not look in vain, for in less than the allotted time Bobbs returned —leading his mother-in-law by the hand.— Harper’s Weekly.
