W
as an actor-manager ha3 bean
characterized, by-ever increas
ing- ambitlo coupled with a,
corresponding , growth in,
power and 'attainment. Fop
more than two years be planned and
schemed and worked 'for the .spectacular
revival of "Julius. C!esar." In which he
is achieving such a notable triumph this
season, and no sooner was the production
more than launched and Its tremendous
Buccess assured than Mr, Faversham an
nounced that yjulius Caesar Is only the
first of a long' lino, of equally impressive
Shakespearean presentations which he
purposes to make, It is understood that
next 'season ho will produce "Othello,"
and ''Hamlet," and, of course, retain
"Julius. Caesar" for frequent use.
On a casual viewing the public Is not
apt to understand all the labor and years
of struggle and preparation that have
necessarily been consumed In the mael
strom of experience that make It now
possible for Mr. Faversham to achieve
both "fame and fortune" aa a Shakes
pearean producer, touring his first season
or two upon the London stage Mr. Faver
sham was glad enough to accept the
trifling remuneration of a, shilling a
night It meant shelter and muffins and
coffee anyway. Then came slightly bet
tor years, and finally he sailed to New
York. More Important engagements
speedily fell to him there, and It was not
long before he was known aa a "matinee
Idol" under the Frohman banner. For
soveral seasons Mr. Faversham shone ns
a drawlngroom actor, with many splendid
bhances to display his rare gift for
comedy.
At last he entered the lists as actor
manager, and then Jiegan truly laudable
ambitions to manifest themselves. For
three seasons Mr, Faversham ' acted the
stirring romance of "The Squaw Man.
HH next effort was ,ln the realm of poetio
drama, and It Is safe to say that no com
mercial manager In America would hava
had the courage to produce Stephen Phil
lip's "Herod," or; possessing the courage,
would have had' the ability to rive it a
worthy presentation. "His own superb per
foimance of the mad. biblical king sur
passed In strength and nobility of con
ception and poetic feeling anything that
even Mr. Faversham's closest .friends nad
imagined lay -within his power. From the
stressful "Herod" Mr, Faversham turnod
to "The World and IBs Wife," a pla
from the Spanish, and one' of the finest
of modern comedies. The keen satire
and underlying seriousness of the pisee
received admirable consideration, boh n
Mr, Faversham's personal' performance
and In the accurate , balance of the pro
duction In Its, entirety. HJs next produc
tion was Edward Knoblauch's fanciful
and stimulating com,edy, "The Faun,'- a
rati) combination of .satire and numor.
At last came the long wished for oppor
tunity to embark upon the series of
Shakespearean productions of which his
all-star "Julius Caesar" Is the first
The responsibilities of actor-manager-Bhlp
are two-fold. The actor-managor
muji keep his own .Interpretations ever
up ti a high and meritorious standard.
But- beypnd this lie must assemble su
perior casta, stage-manage his plays with
a nice adjustment of balance and rhythm
anJ serve In every way the beat interests
of the English speaking stage. ThJso
who witness Mr, Faversham's produc
tion of "Julius Caesar," in the enacting
of which Is aided by such distinguished
coi freres as Frank Keenan, Berton
Cl urchill, Fuller Melllsh and Miss Julie
Opp. can best judge of the manner ill
ulili Ji Mr. Faversham Is meeting the high
ti sis of his position as, an actor-managir.
Mall orders are. now being received at

sham's all-star production of Skake
speare's "Julius Caesar," which' will be
the attraction at that playhouse on
Thursday and Friday evenings, March 6
and 7. Probably no booking of the en
tire season will arouse so much Interest
among all classes of theatergoers as this
spectacular Shakespearean presentation,
for Mr. Faversham has assembled one of
the most remarkable casts In the annals
of modern drama. Appearing with Mr.
Faversham In the enacting of the blood
tingling Caesarian drama are Frank Kee
nan, Fuller Melllsh, Berton Churchill,
Miss Julie Opp, Miss Jane Whcatley,
Mr. Arthur Elliot, Mr. Lionel Belmore and
a company of 200 persons. It . Is safe
to- say that no such astounding gather
ing of eminent players has been garnered
in one production since the days of
Booth, Barrett and Davenport. Especial
Interest attaches to the pictorial side of
Mr. Faversham's "Julius Caesar," as
well as to the histrionic, for the seven
massive stage settings were built from
designs by the late Sir Alma Tadema,
the most authoritative painter of Roman
subjects that the world has ever known.
Nearly COO costumes were also designed
by Tadema for this production, and rep
resent the last work which he completed.
To actually paint the settings, the fa
mous London artist. Joseph Harker, was
engaged, and experts have declared that
his work upon "Julius Caesar" is dis
tinctly superior to his own splendid
painting of the renowned "Kismet" pro
duction. "The Countess Coquette," coming to the
Brandels. on Sunday and Monday, March
2 and t. Is the latest success In musical
farce. It has had a long run In Paris,
and there was keen competition for the
American rights. The dramatization la by
the noted French author, Marcelle Jan
vier, lyrics by Melville Alexander, and
the fourteen musical numbers were com
posed by Anatol Fried land. The massive
scenery Is from the studio of Dodge ard
Castle, who have an international repu
tation; costumes designed by Fouret of
Paris, and electrical effects from the
workshops of Klelgl Bros., who are the
greatest experts In their line In this
country.
"Justice," a play by Edgar Allen James,
will be tbe principal attraction at the
Orpheum this week. It will be presented
by Julius Steger, the well known actor,
supported by a splendid company. The
sketch Is one which lingers long In the
memory, asMt afford much food for
thought The lines are bright and full of
life, the plot Is Intensely interesting, and
the characters are naturally portrayed.
The story Is based on fact The scene Is
laid In the -warden's office In Sing Sing.
Mr, Steger plays the role of the prisoner;
Harry Maltland, the warden; George H.
Wiseman, the keeper, and Katherln
Oreely, the mother of the prisoner.
Ladle Cliff, England's boy comedian,
will give a thoroughly enjoyable act His
eccentric dances form one of the most en-
Joyable features of the act. Joe Nenu aw
Rose Green will Introduce a musical whin
entitled "Hands Across the Street,"
which Is a decidedly new musical fantasy,
O'Brine, Havel and company will offer
their latest success, called "Monday;" a
sketch by Will M. Cressy, the well
known character actor, who recently ap.
peared In Omaha. Ceasar Itlvoll, "The
Man of One Hundred Roles," will apear
in a playlet, entitled "A Scandal In a
Restaurant" He plays seven distinct
roles. Doo O'Nell, "The Merry Wag," will
offer one of hla clever monologues. Mile
Lorette and her dog, "Bud," will offer a
spectacular act consisting of visions in
gold statues.
The Orpheum road show, under the per
sonal direction of Martin Beck, will ba
In Omaha the week of March Mile
Naplcrkowska, the famous Polish dancer,
will bo the headline attraction. Slgnor
Travato, the eccentrlo violinist will bo
another big feature of the bill. The
other acts will all be far above the
ordinary.
An exceptional entertainment In honor
of automobile week Is promised at tho
Krug theater this week commencing with
the usual Sunday matinee, in the shape
of tho "Monte Carlo Olrls." The comedy
end of tho show will be a big feature,
for the management has secured that

will be assisted by Zella Clayton, sing
ing and dancing soubrctte; Eva Sulllcan,
leading woman; Billy Inman, character
comedian; Arthur Mayer, Oerman laugh
maker; Arthur Lanning, and others. The
two musical travesties' staged are the
nonsensical trifles, "Honeymoon Inn" and
"Cafe Bergere," both built for laughter.

splendid specialty of beautiful vocal har
mony and clever comedy. Zella Clayton
will contribute her dainty songs and
amusing patter, and other acts will be
Billy Inman and company In the char
acter comedy, "The Heart of Chinatown,"
and Earl Gates, a particularly clever es
centrio buok and wing dancer. Friday

Mme. Julia Culp, ?he oelebrated lleder

iaed an abundance of agreeable sur-
prises during the "Bon Ton Girl's" and

lections all the way from grand opera to
mi? time. Swain's "Rats and Cats," an

sound-headed chorus girl, who talked
slang, who exchanges sharp remarks
with the girls around her, but whose
splendid sense saves herself and her
sister from disaster, and who smiles
through her tears at the end of a rollick
ing comedy, because her happiness is at
last secure. It is a bully part and Miss
Lang will charm her friends In Its pre
