we have not been able to accumulate either

big crowd.
"The lAnd of Nod," th well known
musical fantasy, will be the attraction at
the Boyd theater on Wednesday for a

Liberty theater In that city lasted for aome
160 nights, and as one of the critics of the
metropolis said, reviewing the play the
morning after her debut. "She did more
to establish herself In a nlngle nlfrht with
the fores of her own genius than many of
the so-called stnrs have done In a life
time." Miss Roberts has been long recog
nized on the raclfic coast, her home, as
one of the most talented of the emotion

the gratification of a lifelong ambition
when she succeeded In battering down that
wall of prejudice that exists, perhaps un

Intensely emotional order, with Its localles

York. The localle Includes the living rooms
of a bevy of college girls nt an eastern
Institution of learning, the ball room of a
cross-country hunt club, and the apart

of New York In one of the many swagger
family hotels of upper Harlem. Miss Rob
erts, it la said, will be seen In a part that
Is happily suited to her talents and which
will reveal her as a gifted girl who has
written a book said to be the story of her
life, and the disclosure of the Identity of
the author furnishes one of the chief
denouements of the tale. The same cast
that she used In New York with minor
exception will accompany.
To commence with, Mme. Schumann

has been raving this last year, respectively
In Buyreuth and Munich, has the moat

Invariably the perfection of art and her
enunciation of the text shows a perfect
command of vocalisation. These features
of her method enable her to sing such
things as the "Brlndlal" with all ths beauty

singer while her keen Intelligence,
her glowing temperament, her subtle humor
and her winsome personality enable her

Mr. Alfred Sutor's "The Walls of Jeri
cho," In which Mr. James K. Hackett will
be seen here at the Boyd for four nights
and Wednesday matinee, commencing Sun
day, February 3, I a strong play of Lon
don society life, in which the perils of
excessive Indulgence In bridge whist among
other things are vividly set forth. It was
one of the most conspicuous successes of
the London sesson two years ago and of
last season In New York. Mr. Hacket has
Just concluded a prosperous four weeks
engagement in Chicago with tbls play.
This has been well termed "One of the
worth whlls events" of the dramatla sea
son. "Lady Windermere's Fan." a charming
comedy of manners, has been selected as
the bill for the new week at the Burwood
theater, a fact that promises for the
patrons of that theater a most delightful
entertainment. The play Itself Is one of
the most brilliant In Its epigrammatic force
In the English tongue, and has been highly
praised as being a model of this style of
writing. Its wit is pungent and Its satire
keen, while the story It tells Is a reflection
of modern life. As Mrs. Erlynns, Miss Pitt
will have a better opportunity than was
hers In her opening bill. The character
Is drawn with mors skill and firmness) of
outline, and Is one that has attracted the
attention of some of the greatest of society
actresses. Miss Hill Is back In the cast
with a splendid chance for her talents In
the role of Iady Windermere. Mr. Morri
son will be seen as Lord Windermere, a
role that will give him a fine chance In his
favorlls line of work, and Mr. Hartford as
Lord Darlington will have cne of thoss
clean, polished characters he hsndles so
well. Mr. Davles snd Mr. Bchoefleld are
well fitted and the other members of the
company are apprcprlotely cared for. Tha
setting of the place Is one that calls for
considerable outlay, but has been lavishly
provided for. The scores' In the drawing
room at Lady Windermere's home, whers
the fan episode la brought to the fore, will
bo most brilliant, and the other settings
are In keeping. The comedy is In four acts
and the rehearsal have been such as to
warrant Director Hartford In promising a
thoroughly satisfactory performance. The
piece wl'.l be put on at a matinee on Sun
day, snd will continue through the week,
with the regular matinees on Tuesday,
Thursday and Saturday. ,
"Ths Yankee Consul," the big eomlo opera
success, comes to the Krug theater for two
days, starting matinee today, and will
prove a revelation to local theater-goers.
This opera has the distinction of having
scored long and succesaful runa In New
York, Chicago, Boston and Ban Francisco
and has played to record-breaking receipts
everywhere. Manager John P. Slocum,
who Is again presenting this delightful mu
sical satire, has provided a splendid cast,
headed by Harry Short, who played the
leading role last season, and the scenlo
environment Is magnificent.
It Is bad enough to be a tenderfoot, but
to be the heritor of several generations
; of ancestors In the bargain Is a handicap
that only a few could overcome. Miss
, Wood was placed In a decidedly awkward
predicament from the very first. She had
brought to the west certain very well de
fined notions, absurd enough from the
: viewpoint of one who had known nothing
but the west, but perfectly reasonable from
