Hagenbeck-Wallace 8hows. " When the representatives of the Ha-ajenbeck-Wallace shows first came to this city a few weeks ago and announced the appearance of that established amusement enterprise in this eity on April :SO, many greeted them ith the remark, 'Bigger and better than ever.' The remark was intended as a compliment to the show, but it was thoughtlessly made. When a circus reaches the magnitude of the Hagenbeck-Wallace combined shows It would be inexpedient and certainly unpopular to try to make it any larger. With its three rings and two stages, Its continuous performances of comedy on the hippodrome track and the bewildering and astonishing acts, of the trained wild beasts in the caged ring, surely this circus is pre-eminently large. However, it is generally understood that Mr. Wallace has assembled thjs year the greatest circus program that he ever had, and as his show has long been heralded and acknowledged as the "highest class circus in the world," it is certainly; supremely great In class when It is considered even superior to any yet offered by him. With the famous trained animals perfected by Carl Hagenbeck, added to the circus proper, it is evident that the citizens of this section of the state have a rare treat in store when the

Hagenbeck-Wallace shows ' exhibit in Richmond on April 30. "The Great Divide." Henry Miller, the distinguished ac

tor-manager, will bring "The Great Divide," which has won recognition as

the long awaited 'great American

play' " to the Oennett theater April 21. The coming of this famous drama.

Which has recently been presented at the Princess and , Daly's theaters In New York for over 500 performances, has for some time been held by our play-lovers as a bright spot In the indefinite theatrical future, and this positive announcement of the date of the engagement will be greeted with pleasure. "The Great Divide" has added much to the celebrity of Mr. Miller as a producing manager and brought from dramatic obscurity into permanent renown an author who will have to be reckoned with from now on in the American drama. William Vaughan Moody had already been established as this country's leading younger poet, and through his occupancy of the chair of English in the University of Chicago, his several publications relating to the language have long been quoted

as an authority upon English literature. But until Mr. Miller produced "The Great Divide" even Mr. Moody's best friends never suspected that the brilliant young poet could write a play which would be not only the most successful ' of its time from ' a pecuniary standpoint, but which would also be declared by leading critics to "set a new mark in American drama."

Kraupuer Concert. Cincinnati " Times-Star "The Kraupner Concert Monday evening was greeted by a most friendly audience, which tested the capacity of the recital hall. . . . As a technician there was little to be added to his gifts, but in his playing there was manifested a deeper insight, a more comprehensive grasp and an authoritative utterance of hie subject The first programme number was the "Funerallles" of Lisst, played by Mr. Kraupner in memory of his colleague, the late Douglas Boxall. It is Liszt music, pompous, effective and fraught with tremendous technical difficulties which Mr. Kraupner met with the greatest ease in execution. The most interesting number, however, was the C-sharp minor Sonata of Beethoven, the "Moonlight," and In the playing of this he most signally distinguished himself. In particular, the allegretto of the second part, was marked for the vividness and grace of its rhythms.

Among the charming bits of pianlstic literature introduced was a Russian impression, "After the Rain," by Von Bortkievlcz, so delicate in composition and so deliciously played as to demand and receive a repetition." Mr. Kraupner will positively appear with Creatore's Band at the Coliseum, Thursday night April 29th.

At the Palace. Oliver Cromwell This richly colored picture delineates some important events in the life of Oliver Cromwell subsequent to his conquering the throne of England. The first scene is in the Palace of White Hall, where news has just arrived that the "Roundheads' 'are hourly gaining strength and the fall of Charles is imminent. Queen Henrietta Is getting ready to flee, but Charles is determined to remain stedfast and stand by the Cavaliers. The next picture shows Cromwell's camp, where the latter's daughter, Elizabeth, is begging her father to give up the struggle against the king, but Cromwell remains inflexible and orders his daughter out of the camp. Elizabeth dresses in the costume of a Cavalier and presents- herself to the king to whom she offers her services; she is accepted and rides forth to battle to fight for her king. The Cavaliers have just lost the battle of Neseby, and a party of the latter, who are endeavoring to aid the king in his flight are put to death by the enemy. The unknown cavalier, (Elizabeth), sees that the king is n great danger, begs him to change costumes, which, the monarch does and the latter makes his escape, while the young cavalier In the robes of the king faces the enemy. Cromwell soon arrives and thinking that he has captured the king orders him to dismount and great is his horror when he recognizes his own daughter. One of the soldiers draws from the kin's pocket the papers which will bring Charles's head to the block. After this occurrence the Scotch offer their hospitality to King Charles, and he goes to Newcastle. ; Cromwell however, bribes the Scotch and the latter betray the king and give him up to his enemies. Charles is then condemned to death, and on Jan. 30, 1040, he is executed in front of the Palace of White Hall. y

The New Phillips. A star bill is that which the Four Lubers are to present "The Humming Coon," one of the most laughable and yet one of the deepest of the playlettea yet seen here. The Rosards promise gymnastic feats of class and Sing Fong Lee is certainly original enough to please the most particular. ' Sing Fong: Lee is a violin virtuoso and he is said by the exchanges to be a rare violinist at that It will be peculiar to see a Chinaman play a fiddle and this one especially, as he has some variation and lost chords that' originated in China. "A Broken Idol."" Chicago has not seen a more pronounced success in the musical comedy field in recent years than "A Broker Idol." the laughing song play by Hal Stephens, Williams and VanAlstyne, with the roly-poly comedian, Otis Harlan in the stellar comedy role. It attracted profitable patronage to the Whitney opera house for eight months during the current season, which goes down in the history of Chicago theatricals as the most disasterous ever known. The reason for its phenomenal success is not attributed alone to the greatness of the cast, the gorgeousness of the production, the brightness of the lyrics, the tunefulness of the music or the cleverness of the chorus, but to a happy combination of alL In addition to those qualities, which are usually all that is necessary for the success of any production, the book is said to be the most replete with comedy situations and to embody the most legitimate plot ever introduced into musical -farce. In fact, it is said that the piece could not fail to be a success with all the musical features eliminated. Gus Sohlke, who has staged several of the greatest New York and Chicago successes in recent years personally produced the many, strikingly original chorus numbers. "A Broken Idol" is scheduled for one night, April 20, at the Gennett theater.
