SCOTT
In 'The
ZfepTT Widow
At (he OrpheuJtL
OLLiOWlN'tl lta appeal anco at
tha Uiundeli, beginning with
thla evrnlng and running till
after Tuesduy, with a special
mallnea on Tuesday, Henry W.
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." '

"Nothing mora nine beana la all I can
afford to blow In now."
"But I haven't anything fit to wear."
"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

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.
