The opening of Hall Caine's "The Eternal City," at the Victoria theater, is one of the most important events of the prepetit season. Since Miss Allen opened in Washington her short tour has been a triumphal procession and her reception in New York most The perfection or ery detail of the presentation is wqnder- ful, involving a piece of stagecraft the like of which has probably never been een before. To those who have been In Rome its remarkable accuracy is ovetpowerlng. Even the intonation of the bells of St. Peter's it' absolutely correct, as is also the march and music of the ceremony in which the pope figures, as well as the Garibaldi and Royal marches.

The grandour of the presentation can not be express-ci it should be neen to be felt. In the role of Roma MlB3 Allen has been given opportunities never before accorded her, and she has triumphed In those opportunities to a degree seldom realized in an undertaking so difficult. Henrietta Crownan's most successful run at Wallack's has been follow-d by the presentation of "The Crisis," Winston. Churchill's dramatization of his own popular novel of that title, in which J. K.

Hackett has trade such a phenomenal Success on the road. Originally produced at Pittsburg on March 3rd, "The Crisis" lias proved the most successful of the 'young actor-manager's productions, practically crowded "Don Caesar's Return" out of his repertoire, although produced! this season merely to retain Mr. Hackett's rights to the play.

The cast supporting Paul Ciimore has been chosen with great care and a delightful performance is the result. The play deals with the troubles of a literary man, whose wife's temperament differs materially from his own, and whose lack of tact and if control precipitate him into some awkward and annoying situations, and incapacitate him from pursuing the cniei worn or nis career as an autnor. There is a counterplot of uncommon in- genu.ty and the play literally bristles with good throughout.

In the cast are such well known entertainers as Gertrude Millington, Maybelle Adams, Nevada Hefron, Rita Knight, Marie Twohey, Cara Is-ham, Vivian Austin, Olive Weathered, Percy Leach Harry Stuart, J.

Adelaide Thurston in nera" "At Cozy Cor- "At Cozy Corners" the play in which charming little Adelaide Thurston is to be seen on Friday night, November 28, is said to be the kind that carries the heroine through a series of adventures that quicken the pulse to an excitable pitch. Such amusement seems to be much in favor.

The theater was obviously instituted for amusement purposes," said Miss Thurston in a recent interview, "and it serves the same mission to those who seek recess from the sordid cares of life as fairy tales do in the entertainment of children. I believe that the play which is slightly tinged with improbability, if il serves its purpose to amuse, is the play the majority of people like. It seems to me that folks see enough of the cold1, unsympathetic side of existence off the stage to derive any amusement from it when shown in a play. I think it is a healthy mental sign when people are content to be amused with a play such as "At Cozy Corners," which, like an April day of sunshine and showers, alternates the emotions from laughter to tears."

"MY PARTNER." Saturday Matinee and Night. In the drama or In literature its requires a brave man to originate new types. The late Bartley Campbell possessed that courage of conviction and "My Partner" was the result of his daring plan to create a play with char acters different from anything ever yet attempted. He went to the mining camps of California, the New World El Dorado, and out of the conglomerate population of such a settlement he; moulded a drama of Intense power. The rough and ready miner seeking the earth's fabulous treasure, the worldly adventurer who casts his for tunes with any new scheme to better them, the hardened money lender, a sweetly sympathetic but misguided girl, a bluff old major and an Interest ing Chinaman become the children oft "Theition I had literary value, the plot was most ingenious in construction, and each succeeding act revealed developments entirely out of the ordinary.

The first night'y audience in New York was thrilled, interested and amused by such an absolute novelty, and the critics were electrified by the freshness of the theme. Bartley Campbell became the lion of the hour, for with one bold stroke he had done for the American stage what Bret Harte did for Ameri can literature The joy of his triumph has been long-lived, for today "My Partner" yet stands unequaled in its strength and will always be regarded as a native classic.

The demand for railway ties will cause a demand for some substitute for wood within the next few years, unlests some method be adopted which will replace the already depleted sup ply of timber suitable for this purpose. White oak, the standard wood for ties, is too slow a growth, and renews itself only once in a century. As early as 1818 Gen. William Henry Harrison called attention to the catalpa tree of tne vvaoasn. vauey as being of ex treme durability.

Various railroad mefn have since demonstrated the en tire suitability of catalpa wood for ties. There is a great probability of the establishment of catalpa plantations by some of the enterprising railroads of the country. It has betn found! that, with good treatment, trees at twelve years1 will make one tie each. At twenty-five y-ears of age the tree? win yield twelve ties each, or over 2000 an acre. The seasonal growth is about one inch in diameter.

The song recital at the University Thanksgiving night will be "a joint operatic and song recital." Mr. Dippel, the famous German tenor singer, has written Dr.

Numbers put in are "Wanderer's Song," by Schumann, the Narrative from "Lohengrin," two romances, one from Meyerbeer's "The Hugenots." and one from "Aida." by Verdi. These, together with the numbers more suitable for a regular song recital, furnish a varied program such as one rarely hears. PROGRAM.

It is a book which lends itself peculiarly well to this kind of illustration. Many readers will remember the charming drawings in color by Thompson which were used in Mrs. Gaskell's Cranford, issued by the same house.

There is a like fitness about these1, both books have a very similar charm and delicacy of treatment. This week go see DeLashmutt new line of strap slippers. Pepperell Bleached Sheets, 2 1-2 yards wide, 50c. Mistrot's Mill End Sale. The Statesjr.au 50 cents a month.

Harris. With each passing week the popularity of the Englifh farce, "The Night of the Party," now being played at the Princess theater, New York, Weedon Grossmith and his company, appears to be increasing. At nearly every performance the house is crowded, and it is a notable fact that class of patrons is made up of the most fashionable people of New York and the surrounding cities. To American play-goers, Mr. Grossmith is a revelation.

There is probably no actor in America with whom he can justly compared, although Nat Goodwin's quiet methods of comedy suggesit those of Mr. Grossmith, while there are times when one sees in William Collier a second edition of the Englishman. Wm. Faversham's appearance at the Empire theater in H. V.

Edmond's new play, "Imprudence," brings back tha metropolis one of the most charming and favorite actors. Harry Mannering, at the Garrick, continues to delight large audience? with her clever work In Clyde Fitch's new play, "The Stubbornness of Ger-aldine." At the Herald Square theater, Mar tin Harvey still continues playing to full houses. The concluding pieces of repertoire are "Rouget d'Isle," a one-act curtain and "The Cigar Maker's Romance," a dramatization Marion Crawford's story. Richard, Mansfield will follow Martin Harvey with hia "Julius Caesar." the most powerful of his studies to date.

Seats on sale "BROWN'S IN TOWN." Wednesday Night. The lively farce "Brown's in Town" comes to the Hancock onera house on Wednesday. November 26, where the audience will surely laugh over the string of complications which are said to furnish fun through the three acts. The author has done some clever work, as a farceur in this play, both in in- genious arrangement and abundance of farcical incidents, with catchy songs, bright music and also in the crisp and buoyant humor of the dialogue. The story tells chiefly of the troubles which surround the newly wedded couple who wish to keep their marriage a secret until they can devise some good reason or breaking the news to the groom's father, who strenuously objected to his son marrying until he reaches a certain' age.

Numerous friends and relatives disturb the early connubial happiness or the young couple who hide in a nearby country place and assume the name of Brown, and the plans and subterfuge necessary to get rid of them are cleverly worked out. The farce is played with invigorating briskness. Prices will be 10c. 20c. 30c and 50c for this date.

"FOR HER SAKE." Thanksgiving Matinee and Matinee 25c and 50c. Night. Certainly the story of the new Russo-Siberian four-act melodrama, "For Her Sake," the play which is to entertain the patrons of the opera house Thursday matinee and night, will commend itself as full of promise in that sort of material which theater patrons know as "heart interest." It Is the story of true love which docs not "run smooth" the old. old story, which, under the deft ha li.l of th Hkillful rirnmntlat la made ever to seem new. The storv of this play has a setting, however, which, If not wholly novel.

Is yet susceptible of treatment that must place it in the class of novelties among things theatrical. The plot hinges on the lo-e of a Russian prince of the blood for a lowly peasant girl -a serf. "Olga," the serf girl, has been brought up In the household of Prince Valdeinar Rad-etsky, a nobleman of right impulses and great courage. He falls in love with the peasant girl. She returns his love.

It Is the story of the consequences of violation of the stern law of caste, nowhere more Inexorable than In Rus-sla. There are plots against the prince and against the woman of his choice, plots In which members of his own family figure, as well as a villainous member of the "third section." the se- cret police of the csar's dominion. It Is a complicated Btory. though clearly and i convincingly worked out, according to all accounts. Matinee prices 25c and COo.
