"Moulin Rouge Girls." Fresh, bright and breezy, a sweet vision of beauty, such are the reports of the press wherever the "Moulin Rouge Girls Big Burlesque has appeared. The company numbers 25 people in which pretty girls predominate with a few famous funny fellows to keep the pot a boiling. The company appears at the Phillips tonight and everything will be as bright and new as money can make it, beautiful costumes, spicy, enticing dances, the latest and best of the season's song hits, two new up to date burlettas, the -first entitled "The Moulin Rouge Girls Ball" is one big riot of fun and hilarity. The closer is called "Paris After Dark" in which one of the biggest sensations of the season is introduced -called "Shadows." This is the star feature of the show and must be seen to be appreciated. This is but one of the many novelties that will be shown along with a number of high class vaudeville acts.
Coburn Players. Shakespearian comedy in the hands of a company both actuated by a desire and competent to give a sincere and intelligent performance is something vastly different than when It in given with eyes blinded solely by the commercial spirit, and it is to the former class to which the Coburn Players belong. The company is a very strong one even in the minor parts, the actors are students as well as portrayed of Shakespearian character, and judging from notices from places in which they have played the Coburn's performances is one of admirable balance and finish. The company is fresh from a successful season among the greater universities of the South and East and they were also given an important part in the great pageant at Gloucester. Their engagement is announced for the Gennett In the near future.
At the Murray. The house was crowded last night at the Murray. Everyone seems anxious to hear Roy Peck, the Richmond boy. who is appearing there this week with Harris and Peck in the Minstrel Boys. Peck is certainly making a hit with the Richmond people as he is called back time after time on every performance. He is very popular in this city and his many friends are going to make his first appearance on the vaudeville stage in Richmond, one to be long remembered by him. The Rennee Family come in for their share of the appreciation as their act is very high classed and up-to-date. They appear in five separate acts with a complete change of stage setting and costumes in each and the five different operatic selections are rendered in as many different tongues.
Maud Adams In physique, methods and temperament, will make her debut here with Mr. Skinner in his new play "Your Humble Servant," at the Gennett Tuesday evening, the seats for which will go on sale tomorrow morning.
De Wolf Hopper. Augustus Thomas was talking the other day about what a lovable character is De Wolf Hopper, who will appear here tomorrow night at the Gennett in his new song comedy, "A Matinee Idol." "Will Hopper," Baid Mr. Thomas, all of his intimate friends call Mr. Hop
per, "Will," "Is one of the most versa
tile and interesting men on the American stage and in addition that one of the most lovable. Think what an interesting career Hopper has had and
of the many things that he can do better than anybody else. In the first place he is perfectly fitted to sing grand opera as he spent years study
ing music and cultivating his voice and was in fact the leading basso in Grace church for a long time.

ABOUT 4,000 DELEGATES
"Graustark." Brockwell Calder, who for several seasons held the position of leading lady at the Belasco theater in San Francisco and who created a most favorable impression with Wm. Morri3 on the road tour of "Mrs. Temple's Telegram," will this year play the part of Countess Dagmar in Geo. D. Baker's dramatization of Geo. Barr McCutcheon's "Graustark." Miss Calder comes of old Montreal stock and secured her education at Notre Dame in Montreal, and on the continent of Europe and in England, where she acquired the finishing touches at Miss Townsend's Seminary in London. She has traveled most extensively, is a linguist of more than ordinary ability and her accomplishments of mountain climbing though not of international reputation, have created quite a name for her among the Swiss Alps. There is no question but Miss Calder will be appreciated as Countess Dagmar as her portrayal of the character is one entirely her own. Graustark will be presented at the Gennett next Thursday.
"Girls Will be Girls." One of the best attractions coming to the Gennett this season is "Girls Will be Girls," which will be presented there Saturday, November 20. This snappy musical comedy of school girl fun, is now in its sixth year, and so great has been its popularity that it has never been west of Chicago or south of the Ohio river. The company numbers forty people, including several well known comedians, and an especially attractive chorus.
Otis Skinner. Last season when Otis Skinner was touring the Pacific coast he chanced to drop into a small theater in Portland where a performance of "Tho Little Minister" by a stock company was in progress. A young woman of charm and sympathy was acting the role of "Babbie," and Mr. Skinner was so much struck with the naturalness of her work that he lost no time in obtaining an interview with her. He found that she was almost a tyro in her art, but possessed of genuine talent. She was still in her teens and her name was Miss Izetta Jewel. The young actress gasped with astonished delight when Mr. Skinner offered her an engagement at a big salary to be his leading woman in "Your Humbla Servant." Needless to say she gratefully accepted. Miss Jewel who is said to resemble
"St., Elmo." Nearly fifty years ago, since its first appearance, Mrs. Augusta Evans Wilson's book of "St. Elmo," has been the most popular novel dealing with Southern life. This year is to witness a competent presentation of Mrs. Wil
son's work In dramatic form. The dramatization of "St. Elmo" is the work of Willarrl Holcomb and had the personal endorsement and approval of Mrs. Wilson before her death as a fitting means of making "St. Elmo" ever popular. Vaughan Glaser, under whose able supervision the play is to be produced at the Gennett Wednesday, matinee and night, is a sufficient guarantee of a presentation that will be perfect so far as artists and artisans can make it.
AN ITCHING PALM.
No Cure for li. Other Forms of Itching Preferable. There is no cure for an itching palm the money kind. Even poslam, the new skin discovery, cannot help it. But when it comes to eczema, the most annoying of itching skin troubles, poslam will stop the itching at once and cure the worst cases in a few days. So with hives, rash, scabies, split toes, piles, and scaly scalp, all of which are different forms of eczema, accompanied by severe itching and caused by imperfect digestion and careless diet. Poslam comes in two-dollar jars, but fifty cents worth will answer in curing any of the diseases mentioned. It can be had of any druggist. W. H. Sudhoff makes of specialty of it. That results are immediate will be amply demonstrated overnight by the use of the experimental sample which the Emergency Laboratories, 32 West Twenty-fifth Street, New York City, will send free by mail, in plain wrapper, to any one who will write for it.

A Purist. Most persons believe Stevenson's verses for children may. without correction or amendment, safely be placed in the bands of the impressionable youngster without corrupting either his morals or his English. But there are some who think otherwise, says an exchange. Little Alice's mother, having taught the child to say. "Time to rise." in which "the birdie with a yellow bill" figures, the child announced that she meant to recite it to ber teacher. "Well, and what did Miss Prim say to 'the birdie with a yellow bill?'" asked Alice's mother when the little girl returned from school. "She says it is quite a pretty thought But this is the way she makes me say it now. mamma: "A birdie with a yellow bill Hopped upon the window sill. Cocked his shining eye and said. 'Are you not ashamed, you sleepyhead?' " "But that was not the way the birdie said it. Alice." the mother remonstrated. "No, mamma; I know. But teacher says it isn't good English to say, Ain't you 'shamed, you sleepyhead? "
Sixteenth Century Meals. Judging from a passage in Harrison's "Description of Britain." breakfast eating in the sixteenth century was held to denote effeminacy. "Heretofore." he writes, "there hath been more time spent in eating and drinking than commonly is in these days, for, whereas of old we had breakfasts in the forenoon, beverages or nuntion after dinner and thereto reare suppers when it was time to go to rest, now these old repasts, thanked be Gods, are verie well left, and ech one (except here and there some young hungrie stomach that cannot fast till dinner time) contentetb himself with dinner and sapper onlie. The nobilitie. gentrie and students ordinarilie go to dinner at 11 before noon and to supper at 5 or between 5 and 6 at afternoon. The merchants dine and sup seldom before 12 at noon and 6 at night, especialie in London. The husbandmen dine also at high noon and sup at 7 or 8, bat oat of the tearme in our universities the scholars dine at 10."
A most Injurious thing which costs New Yorkers a big lot of money is the sly use of axalic acid in home laundries by the visiting washerwoman who carries a small bag of oxalic acid in her hand grip or maybe under her apron. Two or three tablespoonfuls of this cleaning dope put into a laundry tub of water make washing so easy that it is a sin to take the money, but what it does to clothes is a plenty. Wise housekeepers try to watch for this trick, but it is hard to keep it from being worked. Chemicals used for laundering are deadly poisons. New York Press.
