WEEK AT THE GENNETT. ifew people, perhaps, realize the wealth of drumatic material which is In store for amusement lovers during the coming week. On Monday night, for instance, the attraction will be THK GIRL FROM RECTORS,' one of the most sensational successes of the past New York season. This company, while not the original one, which only plays the largest cities for runs, Is the first of the traveling companies formed when its success was so great as to warrant their organization. "THE GIRL FROM RECTORS" goes direct from Richmond to Indianapolis for a limited engagement of two nights only, an unusual Indication of its worthiness, as English' Is considered to always play an attraction at least three nights. On Tuesday "THE CLANSMAN" will come to us direct from a week's stay in Cincinnati, another mark that tho Gennett Is offering a production which Is the only one of that stirring play now before the public. An element of the performance which will attract more or less attention, is the troop of cavalry horses which are used in. the scene of the Ku Klux Klan. Rose Stahl, in "THE CHORUS IADY" needs no explanatory notes, except perhaps, to say that Richmond Is very fortunate in regard to the prices for the engagement Wednesday evening. By special arrangement and on account of the other high priced attractions in the same week, the $2.00 price, (except for boxes) lias been eliminated, an extraordirciy dispensation on the part of Miss Stall's managers. To finish the week, theatrically, "THE THREE TWINS" will be presented by exactly the same company which made such a hit in New York last summer. There are fit present three road companies; the Eastern, Western and Central, but the one which comes to the Gennett on Thursday is, with the exception of two of the principals, the identical New York production. The executive Dtaff a'one is one of the largest we J.ave had in Richmond; A Business Manager, Press Agent and Advertising Man, travelling ahead of the company, and during the performance there are in front of the house, an Acting Manager, Secretary and a Treasurer, resides which the company carries two Wardrobe Mistresses, three Carpenters, three Electricians, two. Property Masters, and a Master of Transportation. An Augmented orchestra is also characteristic of the lavishness with which Joseph M. Gates has staged this charming opera. The scenery used is 22 feet high, which isfour feet higher than is generally carried by a traveling company. In a word these four attractions will make next week one of the EeasonV feature weeks for Richmond theater goers.

in destroying the carpetbag government. The charm of "The Clansman" is said to be greatly enchanced by the beautiful and sumptous production Manager George H. Brennan has always provided by the varied talents of the acting company which includes practically all of the original favorites. Arthur DeVoy as the gallant Ben and Evelyn Faber as the lovely Elsie are associated in the cast with Joseph C. Garry, as Lynch, W. A. Jordan, as Nelse. William Levis, as Dr. Cameron, Edna Davis, as Nellie and Vinnie Burns as .Flora, others in the company being John B. Cooke, as Stoneman, Maude Durand as Eve, Joseph R. Lorraine. Charles Millington, Earle Lee, Warren Townsend, Howard Lenard Ely and Margaret Millington. The famous Ku Klux Klan cavalry of mounted government horses, is a thrilling feature of the show, whose appearance at the Gennett on Tuesday

! forms a rare dramatic treat.

Blanden Players. The management of the Gennett

theatre is very happy to announce j that they have been able to secure j the Blanden Players for a return en-' gagement for the week of January 17th. Mr. Blanden and his players j were received with every mark of .

appreciation by their audiences, and their return will be eagerly awaited.

"The Blue Mouse." "The Blue Mouse" is a really charming dancer who "Salomes" at a New York variety theater. Yet there is no attempt to make the audience step into her life, as it were, or swallow disagreeable, pills of suggestiveness. Like "The Blue Mouse," although she nibbles at coals without being burnt, the play is clean and at no time is the audienco asked to solve a problem or even think seriously. It is the purpose of the author to create laughter and he is said to have succeeded in a way that is sure to make his latest play the most phenomenal farce America has ever seen. The piece ran for over a year in Germany and is still holding the boards there as well as in France. It has also been presented in Austria, Sweden and Denmark, and comes here with the same cast and production seen for three months at the Garrisk theater, Chicago. In the cast are Beatrice Noyes. who plays "The Blue Mouse," Sam Edwards, "Guy D'Ennery, Lily Hall,

crooking back over it like golden tongues. "Another is a yellow one, the color of ripened wheat, all glittery and glisteny and crawley, laced across the sides, from under her arms to her feet, with golden braid and yellow stones; and big stones on thin hair chains swinging from her ears like pendulums. "The pretty little wife in the story wears a little blue frock as winsome as a baby's dress; faint blue chiffoncloth, with a little frothy lace waist of blue, a high waisted. long tailored skirt, and a big. square, hemmed width of the cloth folded across the back and let hang in deep folds." "The Girl from Rectors" will be seen at the Gennett on Monday night.

ter. In th second act, which discloses the widely discussed dressing-room scene ,and shows a number of chorus girls "making up" for a performance in the dressing quarters of a New York theater, it develops that Nora has entangled herself through her habit of betting on the races and Crawford has induced her to accept his help. Sylvia Simpson, a show girl, whose enmity Nora has incurred, does her best to further her difficulties, and it is at this unpropitious moment that Mr. and Mrs. O'Brien arrive to visit their daughters. Surprising dramatic complications result and carry the story into Crawford's apartments shown in the third act, and the happy solution does not occur until the fourth in the Harlem flat of Pat and Nora. At the Gennett Wednesday.

"The Clansman." A potent element in the great popular success of "The Clansman," now on its firth triumphal tour, is the charm of the Southland, it so beautifully sets forth. The period of the play is the social and political breakup Immediately following the war between the States, when Northern carpetbaggers and their negro dupes peized the reins of government. The contrast between the old families and their upstart rulers is made the more striking by the lovely scenes in which the story is laid. The action takes place in a little town among the South Carolina foot hills. The gardens are beautiful with roses; at the foot of a wooded cliff winds a silver river; at the top is shown the colonial mansion of an old-fashioned aristocrat which is to be sold for taxes. The play children and animal-like revelry of the negroes are hardly interrupted by the dreadful political crisis over the question of white supremacy. A wierd and spectral element enters through the introduction of tho Ku Kluz Klan. These white robed night riders, mounted on ghostly, shrouded steeds terrorize the countryside, driving away the bad negroes find obnoxious officials. As a High Court of Justice they meet in a secret mountain cave. Their awful ritual is rehearsed, and swift messengers are eent across the border to summon the help -of their North Carolina brethren

Vaudeville at Murray. "Lovers of good rrusic will bo pleased with the high class singing act of the Gypsy Serenaders, a sextette, three men ' and three women, all of whom are gifted with excellent voices. Their act is purely operatic, consisting of solos, duets. Quartettes and sextette numbers, their renditions being selections from the popular operas." This quotation from the Lima Democrat clearly states what is in store for the patrons of Murray's approved vaudeville. In addition to this big act will be Von Hoff, the comedy mimic; Stanley and Chambers, the acrobats; Mr. and Mrs. J. T. Dowling, the sketch artists. This is the bill for each night this week except Tuesday night, when The Blue Mouse will be given.

"The Chorus Lady." "The Chorus Lady" is a comedy in four acts, depicting the characters one meets in every day life, and its author, James Forbes, is also responsible for "The Traveling Salesman." The story of the play concerns one Patri

cia O'Brien, a member of the chorus, who loves and is loved in return by , Dan Mallory, who owns a racing sta

ble and employs Patrick O'Brien. Patricia's father, as traiuer. Patricia, coming home suddenly through the failure of her company, discovers that Mallory, through a series of reverses on the track, has been compelled to take as a partner, Dick Crawford, a rich young New Yorker, who. she quickly discovers, is endeavoring to curry favor with a younger and far less sophisticated sister, Nora. Divining his evil intentions, Patricia determines to separate them and thus remove the evil influnce from her sis-

"Three Twins." "Three Twins." is one musical comedy that has "made good," and the Gennett will be a port of call next Thursday evening, for all people who appreciate a sensibly humorous book and good lyrics when set to music of the popular, whistleable sort, and presented by a capable cast of principals. And then, the girls! However much an American Beauty Chorus may be advertised, and however adroitly the charms of the respective members may be disclosed by the photographic route, in a theater illusion are quickly dispelled. But the girls of "Three Twins" are by no means illusionary. Mr. Sohlke has given them much to do. And for that the patrons of the Gennett must thank him. They are not mere figurantes. When they accompany in the illustration of "Cuddle up A Little Closer," they give one an

London. Jan. 7. The Girl Scouts, an organization recently founded by

Sir Robert Baden Powell for the pur-1 pose of training girls to be practical help iu time of war. are being severly criticised by several of the leading women of the country. j Miss Violet Markham, one of the ! chief opponents of the movement, claims that: Girl and boy scouts roam the countryside together on "glorified

larking expeditions." They have been known to return home as late as 10 p. m. Drill takps place at the drill hall "a building intended for men and
