The story tells of the murder of the old sexton of Trinity Church, New York, on Christmas eve many years ago. lie is killed as be is about to riDg the chimes and his assassin is tracked for eighteen years before he is finally captured. His capture, by a strange coincidence, takes place before the very altar of the church in which his crime was committed, as he is about to be married to Bess Trinity. Bess Trinity is a sort of a protege of the church, having been found on the steps of the sacred ediiice eighteen years before, the night on which the murder takes place. As he is about to marry her it is discovered that she is his own daughter.
Just as this fact is made known the ctiiccrs step up to arrest him, but he escapes arrest by taking bis own life. The church scene is very realistic. The chimes, carried and played by an expert musician, are similar iu tone to those they represent. A full vested choir adds to the effect. The scenery is described as exceptionally handsome.

The book has been bought by more than a quarter of a million people, and it is probable that each one of these copies has been read at least five times.

The adventuress, by deep plotting, manages to separate the hero and his wife, with the intention of marrying the man later for his wealth.
After the separation the wife and her two daughters live on the Fast Side in poverty and want. "Jessie," the older of the daughters, is known in the tenement district iid "The Bittle Mother," because of her care of the children. In this way she earns her living and supports her mother and little sister. The management. realizing the importance of this role, has secured two child actresses for it, who alternate.
These are Baby Zona Keife and little Cra (Jaiuten, who have been warmly praised by the critics wherever the play has been presented. The role is a long one calling for considerable histrionic ability and the two young actresses have made a great success of it. The scenes ACT land. ACT Scene TI Ball mom of Stuyvesant mansion. '2.

It is doubtful if the appearance of any dramatization since that of "The I'risoner of Zenda" has been awaited with more eagerness by local fiction-lovers than is this play made from "The Virginian." With the evident intent of fixing in literature for all time that fast disappearing type, the American "cowpunohor," Mr. Wister has given iu "The Virginian" a character study that seems to have satis jumping in my oars, causing tears, UlDO ileep dismay.

Dr. Lanceford Irwin Churchill Albert Kooeardl Frank Baltin iYiaiincc, iuv. iu. Ky rle Lleanor Churchill Mabel Wilson Julia Balph Quiuten Alice Keife fied all demands or fancy regarding our Western range rider. The hero, though born in Virginia, has lived for years in Wyoming and is in perfect sympathy with the peculiar of civilization that obtained in that region during the 70's and 8S0's when cattle raising was the only business, cattle stealing the only crime, and lynching the only law.
Speaking of the cowboy as a type, the author says: ''He was romantic, whatever lie did, he did with his might. The bread that he earned, he earned hard, the wages that Be squandered, were squandered hard half a year's pay sometimes gone in a night 'blowed in as he expressed it. His wilil kind has been among us always, since the beginning; a young man with his temptations, a hero without wings." In the character of "The Virginian," Mr. Wister has given a composite picture of the cowboy all the good, th not.de. brilliant fascination and daring that might enter into the personality of a right-hearted man in such wild surroundings.
At the same time the ugly things about hiiu are told without squeamishness; for this wild v. est man swears like a pirate, smokes, drinks, assists at lynchings, "kills Lis man," and at the same time is as gentle as a lamb and as peace-loving as a dove. "I Lave never killed for pleasure or profit," he says at one time, "and am nut one of that kind, always preferring peace." For' heroine, there is a pretty pink and white little school ma'am from Vermont who has certain strict. Puritanical ideas about shooting and other cowboy practices; but in the end the Virginian wins her heart iu spite of the grammatical sins and others too numerous to mention. This love story, marked as it is by many clashes between her New Kngland conscience and Western instincts and jeopardized at every turn by amusing episodes and alarming adventures, forms, of course, the under-current of the plot, and a more absorbing rfimar.ee has not been unfolded in this country for these many years.
The virtues of the story have, it is said, all been carefully preserved in the transition from the book to play and the love of the book's readers for the hero and the giil of his heart is, it would almost certain to be shared by those who face Zen a Keife J.

a level with her surroundings. Jwose wins the love of Jack Harrington, a young detective connected with the San Francisco Police Department. She reciprocates Lis love, but refuses to become his wife, saying it would not be right for him to marry a nameless girl. Henry Adair, the father, returns from Australia a rich man, made so by fortunate operations in the gold fields; he tries in vain to find his daughter and finally employs Harrington, the young detectives' to seek her out. Jack "little dreams that the girl he loves is the one for whom he is hunting.
Cecil Newton, a gambler and rogue, who is Henry Aoair's nephew, overhears the conversation between Hose's father and the detective. He alone suspects that Bose Brandon is Boso Adair and endeavors to gain her hand in marriage. He makes her extravagant promises and she finally agrees to become his wife. Marie Ferrara, Newton's mistress, whom he has repeatedly promised to marry. overhears his declaration of love for Bose and upbraids him for falseness.
Newton, angered to desperation, strikes lir senseless, and with the assistance of Hep Wan, a treacherous Chinaman who has also cultivated a passion for Kose, endeavors to abduct Kose, who Las turned from Newton in disgust when she learns his true character. They are about to carry her off when she is Rescued by Harrington, the detective. Newton lures Henry Adair to his gambling den and induces him to drink absinthe. While under the influence of the cordial Adair makes a will in his nephew's favor, who then tries to murder him. He is saved by Hep Walt.
Kose is abducted and brought" to the gambling den, but is released by Marie Farrara. When Newton discovers what his mistress has done, he kills her in a fit of anger. While Le is stil! standing over her dead body, he is discovered by Harrington. They have a terrible struggle in which Newton gains the mastery and is about to plunge a dagger into Jack when Kose picks up a revolver which has been dropped during the light and saves her lover. From this time on Newton is a fugitive from justice and Kose and Jack marry and settle down in a little cottage at San Francisco; father and daughter have been reunited and all 1 x- i.
I I 1 Scene The home of the Wilsons. ACT II. An attic room iu a New York of his companion and joins in with flute and piccolo playing; and there is even a bit of a dance to add to the festivity. These musical features of the sketch are not in any sense specialties, however, but are legitimately a part of the sentiment and action. The little play is a gem in its way, and the entire vaudeville season will offer nothing more artistic in the line of Irish character acting.
Another head-liner will be Fanny Rice with her "Jolly Surprises." Miss act will be practically the same as the one in which she was wel! liked last season, her inimitable manikin impersonations being still retained. She will give a recitation, too; but the tale of the martyred Christians has been wisely discarded for a bit of Irish verse, with a change of costume that is reported to lie vastly Fanny Rice is a versatile entertainer and a clever one; and her act has the added charm of novelty and originality, for it is the only one of its kind in vaudeville and Miss Rice has no imitators at least, no successful ones. Adolph Zink, a tiny comedian who was one of the stars of the original Lilliputians, will appear in a series of impersonations and imitations of well known player folk. Little Zink is one of the drollest of midgets. His mere appearance on the stage creates laughter, before ever he begins his comical imitations of such pople as Edna May, Lottie Collins and May Irwin.
Mr. Zink was the first impersonator to hit upon the device of using the moving picture machine to fill in the waits occasioned by bis changes of costume. He appears first in dress suit, explains what be is about to do and then invites the audience to accompany him to hi dressing room. As he disappears, the picture machine follows him and the audience sees the little fellow hustling into his costume and make-up for the next impersonation. When he again appears in reality, it is in the costume the audience has watched him put on, with the aid of the moving picture machine.
This novelty made a hit in New York and should prove entertaining. The big bicycle act of the season is promised in the exhibition by A. D. Bobbins, who. since his last appearance here, has made a successful tour of Europe.
A London paper pronounced Robbins the "champion of all champions" and added that a new word "cyclataur" was necessary to describe his work. Snyder and Buckley, described as "merry lnon-arehs of the musical world," will present their musical comedy sketch, "Blatz Wants a Drink." Miss Louise Brehany, foruTerly soprano soloist with tSousu's Band, will be the vocalist of the bill. Walter LeRoy and Florence Clayton will repeat their comedy hit of last season, "llo-gan of the Hansom," in which Mr. LeRoy impersonates a good-natured cabman who is mistaken for an actor; and Sam Davis and Laura Walker, colored entertainers, will contribute a singing, dancing and grotesque acrobatic act. This bill of varieties will be presented twice daily this week at the Cook Opera House.
The manager of the "Jolly Grass Widows," the burlesque and vaudeville aggregation, which will be at the Empire this week, claims that during the last decade this style of attraction has so vastly improved that a really up-to-date burlesque and vaudeville show furnishes better entertainment than the average run of "musical comedies" seen in the regular theaters. If all the other burlesque and vaudeville aggregations were as good as Mr. Robert Fulton's troupe has been in the past, and is now unless its reputation flatters it outrageously, his claim would be reasonable. The "burlesque" and the "comic opera" are built on pretty much the same lines, and the vaudeville interpolation unless it is exceptionally bad, is rather a welcome variation, which the musical comedy lacks. In the high-class combinations the vaudeville is often very good indeed.
It is not uncommon to find figuring in the "olios" specialists who have recently appeared in best vaudeville houses. The "Grass Widows" combination is said to be a splendid type of the modern, high-class "burlesque" combination, elaborately equipped in every particular. The entertainment consists of a two-act musical burletta, with one act located iu a fashionable hotel and the other on the gun-deck of a warship, with a selection of first-class vaudeville turns sandwiched in between the two acts. tenement.

The real hero of the play, is an old musician and organ builder, who is a veritable altruist and whose good deeds and sunny nature have won the love of all the villagers.
Then there is a contrasting type, shown iu the role of the village president, a stern, in-llexible, strong-willed martinet, who has been the old musician's friend for years. The building of a new railroad through the village causes a split among the villagers and this forms the stumbling block iu the story. The love story of the play is amusing and touching; there are tear but more laughs. Scenically "York Stat Folks" will be presented with great care.
