: Theatrical Calendar. GENNETT. March 6-Arthur Dunn. March 8 May Irwin. March 9 "A Romance of Coon hollow." PHILLIPS. Entire Week High class vaudeville.

Arthur Dunn Gennett. x The father of a charming girl, upon his death, bequeaths to his daughter a legacy of one million dollars, with the express .provision however, that she marry, a man at least sbcJCeet tall. The girl falls in love with a little fellow only three feet four. Inches ia heighth arid the little fellow in turn falls in love with her, desperatelj'. And of course the legacy would be welcome, nay even, quite necessary, in the play to both. It sounds like? a Bernard Shaw problem play plot but it isn't that is, not a s'erious one at any rate, for Arthur Duari; as Punch Swift, In his new musical comedy success, "The Little Joker", by Herbert Hall Winslow, has overcome the objection to his stature by suddenly growing to the required height at the end of 4he first act, and he of course marries the girl, they win the million and are off for the honeymoon. In "The Little Joker" Arthur Dunn has found a vehicle which offers him unlimited scope for his delightful eccentricities and for fun-making which brings forth screams of laughter from his audiences. The entire comedy is

built uponnew and novel lines and the ludicrous . complications which chase each other in rapid succession throughout the two hours and a half

duration of the play, interrupted only by beautiful dances, stage pictures,

groupings and many musical numbers, furnish an evening's entertainment which surpasses anything seen on the local stage in recent years. The engagement at the Gennett is for Wednesday night. A Tennessee Comedy Gennett. The New York Herald had the following concerning "A Romance of Coon Hollow" when originally produced at the Fourteenth Street theatre: "It is styled a romantic comedy, but it has a melodramatic flavor, being well provided with thrilling incidents and exciting situations, and embracing some very realistic mechanical effects, which served to enthuse the spectators. The piece was beautifully staged, every attention being paid to detail. , That the audience was well pleased. may be inferred from the heartiness and frequency ,of the applause bestowed, and by the recalls with which the leading performers were favored during the evening. The scenes representing 'Coon Hollow, the steamboat race, and the cotton compress in operation, were very realistic, and elicited .mer

ited applause, white the negro dances and choruses in the third act woke the audience Into a wild enthusiasm. Some very beautiful and novel electrical effects were introduced." "A Romance of Coon Hollow" with the original New York cast and

scenery, and the "hottest" troupe of colored buck dancers and singers extant, will be seen at the Gennett next Saturday night. May Irwin Gennett. The story of May Irwin's new play, "Mrs. Wilson-Andrews," which is to

society woman who has a predilection for bridge whist. In the role of

"Mrs. Wilson-Andrews," it is said that

Miss Irwin has a part in which she

simply' revels, one that fits her per

sonallty to perfection. . Of course the comedienne will -have a budget o.f new songs andi will . have the assist

ance of a first class company, which Includes among its members, Adolph Jackson, John E. Hazzard, Lillian Dix, Victor Casmore, Mary K. Taylor, May

. Vaudeville at the Phillips. It has been a long time since the New Phillips has had a better vaudeville bill than . is . running there this week and which- was witnessed last night by an audience of very large size that showed marked appreciation of the various acts.. There Is not a dull spot in the program. Manley & Sterling, popular songsters in an original , sketch, were compelled . to respond to an encore of. the most enthusiastic nature. The former is exceedingly clever sand versatile and is

well supported by Miss. Sterling. Liz

zie Weller, juvenile trick pianist,

seems able to do most anything with a piano, playing with her hands and feet, when blindfolded, while dancing and while sitting on the floor. She also sings. Freeze Brothers, tambourine jugglers and spinners, rolo and melophrase dancers, made good and received their full share of the applause. There apparently is little that they cannot do with a tambourine. Demonie and Belle, advettised as ' the great American -" tf avelers, make as much fun as any two or three ordinary teams combined. The former is as limber as a man could

well be and, he rolls about the stage

like a rubber ball, while his high

kicking Is not only high but is done

in such a way, that it provokes vol

umes of laughter. Cal Lankert has a good song in "Come Along Little Girl, Come Along" and the cameragraph, the new motion picture machine, gives the best results ever attained at this house In this line.. Two films as shown this week, one depicting a thrilling bank robbery. The New Phillips anticipates big business all week and if it does not receive it, it-will not be because the bill is , inferior.

FORNSHELL TO BE TRIED

Local Baseball Player to Make Debut as a Professional in the Southern League Offers to Other Richmond

Ball Stars.

Wallace Fornshell, a well known local baseball player, has left the ranks of the amateurs and this season will make his debut in fast company as a member of the Little Rock,. Ark., team in the Southern League. Fornshell

has been signed to play second base. Last season Fornshell held down this position for the Palladium team in the Saturday afternoon league. He also played the same position for- the Rich

mond All-Stars. His many friends are positive-he will make good in the

Southern League as he is a natural

born ball player. Fornshell is ? a iast fielder and. covers a world or ground at second base. As a slugger he was

not equaled by any other player in the

Saturday Afternoon League.

Wallace Also in Fast Company. Harry Wallace, better known as

"Huck," will also be in fast company1 this year, , Wallace has signed with J the Wilmington, Del., team of the!

Atlantic League, which is known as

tne - "outlaw" league. The .manager

of the Wilmington is Jimmie Sebring, late of the Cincinnati Reds and the Chicago Cubs. Wallace is a clever pitcher and is sure to make a place for . himself on the Wilmington staff. Wallace has had three years experience in the Three Eye League. Kelley Has Several Offers. "Toad" Kelley, another well known local ball player, has not yet signed up for the coming season, but he is not worried as there are several clubs dickering for his services. Clarence

Jessup is badly wanted by Tom Fisher for his Shreveport team in the South-!

ern .League, but Jessup has not yet

attached his "John Hancock" to a Shreveport contract. He wants to size, up the local baseball situation be

fore he takes such a step. Will Horn, late of the Grand Rapids and Dayton teams of the Central Leaghe, has received flattering offers for the coming

season but he has not-yet signed with any club. Horn is the picture of good health, and he feels sure that this will b his banner season. In the past ill health has proved a great handicap to him. Horn has a world of speed and a fine assortment of twisters and would prove a valuable addition to any Central League pitching staff.

Season Near the Close.' .

The polo season in the Interstate league is about. over and there will

soon be a general return of the play

ers to their various . homes. Few players who came west a few. years

ago when polo was at its height have

last summer, but may -come here or

go east as he has not been east since he left there several years ago and

had always a fancy for this city;

Lewis and Cameron, will . return to

Marion; "Soxy" Lyons now calls El

wood his home.. -Among the western

players in the interstate who will soon return to their respective homes are Mansfield and Thompson, of this

city; Olle, Griffith and Sutherland, of Racine, Wis.; Fletcher and Purdue, of
