THEATRICAL NOTES.

5 i--7 - 4 i . 1 V if WILTON LACK A YE. Aa He Will Appear lit Towle' Opera House In HI.h I'uniuuN I'lay, "TUe I. aw 3iml Ihe 51 an." Wilton Laokaye will be seen in his own version of Victor Hugo's epochmaking' masterpiece "Ls Miser rabies" at the Towle opera house on Sunday, Oct 28th. Mr. Lac-kayo calls his play "The Law and the Man" which will strike theatregoers familiar with the work of the groat French novelist as being particularly appropriate. In his work of adaption, the actorplaywright has followed with remarkable fidelity and skill the story as told In the live novels which are segregated under the one title. In many instances and really as far as practical for stage use the dialogue is that of Hugo himself. The piece is in a prologue and four acts and opens with Fantine and her girl companions and their lovers in a Village near Paris. It is here that poor Fantine is deserted by Felix, and that wonderful man o iron determination and who follows his course as truly as the compass points to magnetic North, Javert makes hi? appearance, also Jean Valjean, which is the role Mr. Lackaye is protraying this season. After being driven from the inns of the place Jean approaches the home of the bishop -of Diton, and is taken in, KiverT food and' shelter1. The robbery occurs, the ex-convict is captured by Javert and brought back to the house of Bishop Welcome. Then comes that famous scene where the gentle man of God presents the miserable wretch with the silver candlestick, saying: "I have bought your soul and given it to God." TUe first scene of the first act shows Jean as the honored Mayor Madeline of Memo. Fantine,..-now a creature of the streets, puts snow down the hack of a gentleman, has been arrested by Jarvit and is about to bo sent to prison for six months, when the Mayor orders her release and has her sent to the hospital where she dies of consumption. WILTON LACKAYE. As Will Apin-Hr t Tol' Opera House in llin 1 "unions IMay, "The l.inv n nd the lan.' snow cum good attraction. B. C. starring Whitney's, "The Show Girl," Hilda Thomas and Lou Hall. was the offering- at Towle's last night. This is one of the best musical comedies seen here this season, and the audience surely showed their approval of it. If the patronage continues as encouraging as last evening there is no doubt but what Manager Towle will continue to book attractions of this cali re. 'Ol'It M'.W MIMMEH," Any stage ehai acter that would make rr.or than a surface impression on an audience must in itself possess more than a mere surface character. Passing plavs teem with mere sketches of people, thin us of grease paint and costumes, with little of the mental or thinking side of the persons they are meant to represent. In strong contrast of this superficial characterization is the general run of people that Denman Thompson an '. George VT. Ryer give us in their p!ays. -The Old Homestead" atul "Our New Minister." The action of cither of the plays is scarce under way before we besin to feel an intimate acquaintance with the people of the

story, feel that we have known them a long time. Darius Startle, for instance, in "Our New Minister," has but a scene or two and at once we get at the innermost character of this bombastic yet timorous backwoods catcher of lawbreakers who is a coward at heart, but would shine before his populace as a dare-devil extraordinary. The New York production is announced for rtenragement here at the Towle Opera

i House on Friday, Oct. 26, with the or iginal company, including Joseph Conyers as the constable. AT THE OARR1CK, De Wolf Hopper with Marguerite Clark and all the old favorites will come to the Garrick theater for two weeks beginning Sunday, Oct. 28, in the great comic opera success, "Happylar.d," and a sumptuous revival of the groat success, "Wang." Ilappyiand can be considered a classic in the matter of thorough entertainment. The story, particularly plausible for a comic opera, is immensely amusing, and being devoid of all slap stick and bombastic incongruities, sets a standard in the mater of later days opera The late Frederick Rankin, certatnb erected a theatrical monument for himself when he wrote it. The story is a mythical land of Elysia where everyone is so happy thai its king is bored to death, and is oi the lookout for trouble. He finds It. j for at the opening of the play the king ' of Altruria (which is the adjacent principality) demands for his daughtei the hand of the king of Elysia's heir. As thi3 interesting party happens to be a girl, who meets, promptly falls in love with the crown prince of Fcrtunia (another nearby kingdom) many complications naturally ensue which glv the king of Elysia all the excitement that he seeks. Rankin's scenes ar never romtnscent. his songs permit much in the way of personal accom phshment and his ensembles tell a story in an unusual fashion. Reginald DeKoven, his callaborator, who wrote "Robin Hood," also aimed high, with the result that melodies are captivat ing and interesting. The production is beautiful in the extreme and absol utely perfect in the matter of detail, they are feasts for the eye. The large company comes in for its share Of the general result and admiration, for It is not a case of simply "Girls," "Girls," "Girls." out a large aggregation of choral artists, who seem to consider their work of as much importance and who labor as hard and faithfully as does the star. Taken all together "Happyland" is one jingling ripple of genuine enjoy ment and the announcement that on the forthcoming visit last season this company, which practically remains in tact, will again portray their respective assignments, is welcome news indeed. During the latter part of the engagement a gorgeous revival of that perennial success, "Wang," will be given. "Wang" has probablyi outlived. a larg majority of the latter day operas, and rightly too. for it permits of legitimate buffonery, in which Mr. Hopper excells. Then again, it is not a one part play. for others besides the star have almost attractive parts. Every performance of the new and greater "IJen-Hur," which was success fully launched at the Chicago audi torium on the evening of Oct. 15, I as be-n witnessed hy several thousand people, and the present engagement bids fair to prove the most successful in the history of General Wallace's Biblical romance. As presented at the Auditorium tl is foul-stirring drama is the most impressive demonstration of spectacle, it is the seeming culmination of all the possibilities of theatrical n.cchunism and eflects the final word in listhtinsr. the management of sti'ge crowds and the arrangement of stao illusions. Because of the spa ciousness and character or tue nouse. "lien-Hur" at the Auditorium assumes a heightened dignity and religious at mosphere. Nowhere else is there so ereat an organ to lend the beauty of its tones to the magnificent musical scttinss that Edsrar Stillman Kelley hrs given the Wallace play. And no where el3e could that great and thrillin? chariot race be run with five fourhorse chariots. Before it was transformed into a play "Hen-Hur" claimed the critical atten tion of almost all the reading world, and the consensus of opinion was that in the elements of originality and pow er it excelled all other fiction in the re ligions field. Its dramatization has substantitated that opinion for al though now in its eighth season, the two thousandth performance of the drama on Monday, Oct, 22, while only drama on Monday Oct. 22 was witnessed bv four thousand people (the capacity of the auditorium) whiie only two thousand were in attendance at the premier at the Broadway theater, New York, Nov. 29th. 1899. Special attention ot those who intend witnessing- "Ben-Hur" is called to Ihe fact that at the evening performances the curtain is raised precisely at 3 o'clock and at the Wedensday and Sat urday matinee at - o ciock. ii:e per formance begins with the beautiful prelude, "The Mar o Bethlehem," and in order not to mar its awe-inspiring effect, late coiners are not seated until the end of this scene.

If a man knows that his wife expects him to succeed, that she expects him to stand at his post and do his duty, no matter how hard It is, and that she will think him a coward If he gives up his job because the work was unpleasant, or there were difficulties in the way, it is easy to foretell what the future of that man will be.

COMBINE TO FIX PEICES

Advice ol a Kentccklan to the 'Amer ican Society of Equity," Composed of Farmers. East St. Louis, 111., Oct. 25. The feature of the day's session of the first annual convention cf the American Society of Equity, which is com posed of farmers!, was the address of H. F. Sharp, of Narrows, Ky. He strongly urged the farmers to perfect an organization. "Ihe trusts and com bines which are the agencies of the infernal rearious call us 'Jays,' "hayseeds 'rubes' and 'mossbacks, and say tliat even if we do organize we won't 6tick," ha gaid. 'I tell you that when organization raises the price of products it is the ; best sticking plaster in the world. I know the farmers will stick. Equity means a fair deal. All manufacturing industries fix the price of their prod ucts, and know what price they are going to get for them. The farmer, the backbone of the nation and the world's greatest producer, has been going on the theory that he will take whatever he can get for his products. Equity Intends that the farmer shall take his place with the world's producer and fix a profitable price for his products. That can only be done by a plan of marketing products to control and regulate the market prices." NEGRO LYNCHED FOR MURDER Had Killed a Farmer and When Caught He Waa Cutting Up and Hiding the Body.

Gratifies the Hebrews. New York, Oct. 25. "President Roosevelt proposed appointment of Oscar S. Straus to a place In his cabinet is most gratifying," said Jacob II. Schiff.

"Women's notions of economy heaven, deliver us!" muttered the cynical man. "Your wife again, eh?" remarked the bachelor. "Oh, well, yes, since you have guessed it S She is saving from the household money to buy a china set at Sellem's store, altaonjrh she will pay more for it there than anywhere else. But, you see, they give green trading stamps at Sellem's, and she thinks the green stamp system is such a nice, economical way of furnishing a house! Result Is we are living on hash In order that she may buy something we can't afford to pay so much for, and she is buying that because it is so economical. Did you ever hear of anything like It?" "You forgot I have sisters. One of them has a pet economy. She never buys theater tickets. Doesn't she go to plays? Oh. yes, Indeed. We have an acquaintance who gets all kinds of free th9ater tickets. My sister, whenever she wants to see a play very badly, takes this girl out to lunch, spends

fully the price of the orchestra seats kinds of garden truck, fruits and vegeif not more on the celebration and gets tables. You can find no finer fruit

Invited to the play free!" "They're certainly a queer lot penny wise and peund foolish," drawled the cynical man as he reached for another cigar. "Have you ever noticed how a woman will use her summer low shoes way Into the winter in order to be economical and wear thom out before she ets her winter pair, and have you ever paid a doctor's bill around Thanksgiving time because the lady would persist In trlppinj around in these same pumps, slippers or oxfords?" "Um-uh!" "And the way thy 'save' car fare to buy Ice cream soda!" "And the way" An hour later they were still swapping Instances and the subject was by no means exhausted. Her Shortsightedness. "There Isn't one woman in tea who Is sensible about furnisliing a house," said a roaifient woman Interior dec8KB BOUGHT A CHEAP AMERICAN KtTO. orator. "Take the case of the ordinary married woman with a little capital to start on which she may add to from time to time. Now, does she wait to furnish part of the house? No, sae must cover all the bare spaces all at once. What is the result? A lot of cheap furniture she is glad to get rid of later on. '"Take the parlor, for Instance. She has set her heart on old rose portieres and old rose side curtains for the windows, but she also must buy a rug. So what does she do?

The Inexpensive pink stuff fades and Is soon cast aside, but, alas, the glaring tones of the rug do not, and she can't afford to cast it aside, for carpets even of the cheapest cost money. So there you are. "It's the same thing about pictures. I'd rather have one good picture on one wall and the other three bare, but the average woman must cover up every inch of space with worthless trash. "Do you know, some day I am going to start classes in home decoration for brides?" Poor Economy. "Never employ uaskilled labor," B'.ghed the woman who knew as she ruefully gazed at the varnish which had been ruined by a liberal application of strong sap and ammonia.

The working woman sees, or at least feels, that excessive toil on her part would be unnecessary if rhe burdens of production were mord fairly distributed and IF WASTE PREVAILED LESS WIDELY Excessive hours of toil and consequent craving for relaxation and refreshment lead naturally to the seeking of gayety or recreation after the day's work i done, and conditions under which alone gayety and recreation can be had by the average working girl in our large cities aro FAR from conducive to the highest standards of living. Hany troubles are caused to the less serious minded working girls through natural, though foolish, ATTEMPTS TO IMITATE tha habits and dress of those who live and dress extravagantly. Money! needed for the relief and aid of a sick neighbor or for food or clothing for a younger bi other or sister is often squandered on imitation jewel or other linery, where no other motive exists than one of vanity and vainglory prompted by the extravagance and ostentation OF THB RICH. The working woman knows that there h no true charity except! where there is TRUE SYMPATHY and that true sympathy cam exist only in proportion as there is true understanding of personal

needs and feelings. Most self respecting working women would ratheiS

go without asking for aid of any kind until they are half starved anrj half frozen than accept the doles of hard hearted men in high place or THE DOLES OF OSTENTATION.

Even when charitable societies

KNOW how to provide relief for those genuinely in need the methods which they sometimes pursuo to ascertain the reality of the need aro most harmful.

For Success on the Stage By CHARLES HAWTREY, Eminent Entflish Actor ii T all depends on the individual view of success what qualities

sonality, imagination, power of observation, a gift of representing the human emotions, PERSEVERANCE, PATIENCE, and so on.

There is, however, the still more

most trades and arts OPPORTUNITY. Opportunity, indeed, has

often proved to be the principal factor in a successful career. One of the greatest actors in America might still be playing small parts ia stock companies had not one of his fellow actors thrown up his part ia a production of a new play in New York some years ago. The actor, who is now in the front rank of American managers, offered himself

for the part, and IN ONE NIGHT made a name for himself which is second to none in the United States Here is an instance of what op portunity does if the young actor takes advantage of it

Many an actor has succeeded

AMENT. Having onco made his mark, engagements come withont his seeking them, and if he uses discretion and only accepts the kind of part which he i3 sure will suit him he ia almost certain of ultimata success. Versatility, however desirable from the artist's own point of view and however gratifying to his ambition, is frequently A BAR TO SUCCESS. A versatile player may be considered a "useful man," but the actor who strikes out on a particular line and identifies himself with one kind of part is most likely to be successful. There is another kind of success, howevei the success of a solidi bank account." It is quite possible to succeed in achieving this without any of the qualities I have mentioned provided one has a good capital to start with, a good business head AND COLOSSAIi BLUFF.

The Moral Standard of Our Public IMen Is Improving By Congressman NICHOLAS LONCWORTH. Son-in-law of President Roosevelt

T seems to me that the fashion of assailing public men is amounting today to ALMOST HYSTERIA. If the government of our cities, of our states is shameful, if our judges aro

corrupt, if the United States senators are traitors, what hope is there for this country ? HOW is it to continue to grow and prosper ? I am one of those who believe that instead of everything getting worse THINGS ARE GETTING BETTER. I am one of those who believe that the standards of our public men are getting higher instead of lower ; that the standard of public morals is becoming higher instead of lower. TODAY THE STANDARD OF PUBLIC MORALS IN THIS COUNTRY IS HIGHER THAN IN ANY OTHER COUNTRY UNDER THE
