Savage'a delightful production of 'Tha Merry Widow" will Bay good-bye to thla city for four years, lta forthcom ing engagement here marks the third visit of Fran uhar's light operatic master piece, and upon Its semi-farewell lour, Mr. Savage haa attempted to 'give "The Merry Widow" the best all-round Cast In lta history. To effect this organisation, be haa drafted the most talented artints from tha numerous companies that have played the Viennese operetta in the princi pal cities of America. In the titular role of "The Merry Widow" will appear Mabel Wither, who has scored an emphatio suc cess; Natalie will be sung by Ivy Scott, who ia appearing for one season under Mr. Savage's direction, through the courteay of her manager, J. C. William son of Australia. Miss Scott originated the role of The Widow in the Antipodes, where she will return next year to sing under Mr Williamson's management. Charles Meakins, a Canadian player, will lng Dantlo. R K. Graham, Fred Frear and F. J. MoCarthy, the three chief come dlans of the famous company which orig inally appeared In New York, will Inter pret the rolea with whlcii they are so creditably Identified. Harold Blake, con- gldared by many the foremost light opera icour ui Aiuvrii-, win sing in uiuicuii part of De Jolldon, and Leon a Brandt will be seen aa Olga. Two orchestras, the Savage Grand Opera orchestra, under the kilfui direction 'of Brahm Vandenberg, and tha Hungarian Troubadours from Buda-rest, will Interpret the score of Tha Merry Widow," while an ensemble of rare peauty and vttcal accomplishment will add to tha physical attractiveness of tha operetta. "Henry, dear." said the sweetly. "Hum," grunted Henry. "Karah Bernhardt Is coming." "Welir" "I think wa ought to go to aee her. Aside from the pleasure we anal! get out Of It ourselves, think how nice It will be in the years to come for us to be able to tell our children that you and I one saw the divine Sarah." "Wa can't afford it," growled Henry. "Only 16, dear, and perhaps she may never come again." "tiU dollars is almost a ton of loal. ' lelorted the commercial Henry. "But It's worth It It you will only do this for me 1 won't ask to go to the theater again for two months." "I auppose If your mind s set on It we'll have to go. I'll borrow the money and get the seats tomorro." "If you're going to borrow the money, Henry, borrow U more and get a ticket for mother. She's Just dying to see Bern hardt. And you know shea been always willing to come over to mind tha children whenever we wanted to go out at night. This Is a splendid time to do something for her." "Look here. Mary, I can't afford to lake all your family to aee Bernhardt. If you want to blow them off to soma theatrical amusement I'll stake them to' the 5-cent show a" "Henry, what haa my mother ever done to you" "Oh, rather than have words. I'll stand for mother, too." ' "1 knew jau gold and Henry, of course i f 4' M I thla evrnlng and running till K0ri I after Tuenduy. with a special I J 51 mllnc on Tuesday. Henrv W. r J - v. , . 'V-TJ ft i ?a f ' I v - -' X A.

"Say," he retorted angrily, "are you going to see Sarah, or is Sarah coining to ae) vouT" A tale of love and temptation, of the victory of a good woman a nature over the trials and disappointments that aeemed to wreck her life, and of how she finally, blessed both herself and the man she loved, is to be told at tha Boyd this week by the Frank K. Long Mtock company. "Lena Rivera" ia to be the bill with Miss Nana Sullivan in tha name part, and Mr. Rem ington and the others of the company well cared for in tha long caat. The novel waa a most popular one In Its time, and lta great dramatic, strength haa been utilised In the preparation of a play of real power. It poaaessea all the elements of success, and has been o hailed. The piece has never been presented her by a atock company, and so will have much of the ele ment of novelty aa well. Mr. Long haa given It a fine stage setting, and promises an excellent performance. It will be put on at matinee thla afternoon, and will run all week with tha usual matinees. - Supported by a company of capable al locates Miss Helena Frederick will offer Homer Und'a vaudeville production of "The Talea oX Hoffman," at the Orpheum thla week. Miss Frederick haa the role of Antonia and In her duets with the tenor and the baritone provea herself equal to the exacting requirements of this dif ficult rqle. Ueorge Crampton haa the bar. Itone pan of Pr. Miracle, while Arthur F. Burckly is the Hoffman and displays a splendid tenor voice. Thla adaptation of Of ff bach a famous opera waa made by Randolph Hartley. Homer Lind ha given the story a splendid stage setting, with a music room in an old Italian palace over looking the grand canal. Other members of the company are the Misses Alice and Ida Ryan and Joseph A. Rudd. In this adaptation the best numbers of the opera have been retained. The theme of Offen bach's opera Is one of tragic brilliance, being in substance the passion of Dr. Mir acle, the mysterious, for the death aongs Of beautiful women. The Four Casting "Dunbare offer a thrill ing aerial art with some new stunts in this line of entertainment. Archie, tha comedian of the quartet, la a revelation In his way. Eunlre Burnham and Charlotte Cieenaood have something out of the or dlnury in the way of a mixture of mirth nnd melody by two young women. The comedy by Alisa tiurohani ia original and (Y M ft w J highly entertaining. Miss Greenwood la pleasing at the piano. Walter Lawrence and Lillian Fitzgerald offer an Irish mus ical aklt, "Just Landed," which affords Mr. Lawrence an' opportunity to sing several Irish songs. Milo Beldon, Hazle Chappie and company have a sketch they atyle. What's the Matter With Father?" Tha story Is of a father who wishes hla daugh ter to marry the con of an old friend, rather than the actor of whom the girl la enamored. Thla situation results in a ser ies of laughs. Lotta Gladstone Is known aa "The Girl With the Laugh." She depicts a country girl and displays considerable talent as a woman monologlst. Her talents are reinforced by a pleasing appearance and a charmingly natural manner. "A Scene on tha Congo River," la the title of tha act offered by Ruasell and Devlrne, tha former being In the guise of a frog and the latter dressed as a dragon. The act la largely one of contortion and s presented In a pretty stage setting. New.lnodrome views and the Orpheum concert orchestra will complete another excellent bill.
