E N a comlo opera ia com- WH posed and written, espec ially If the job has been done In some one of the eastern shops -whose pro prletor happens to possess , a reputation, the work of placing* it before the public may be said to have been fairly begun. The manager who pays out his money for a' work of the kind merely buys a pig In a poke, and he Is more than likely to find that the pig requires fattening to make him mar ketable. Certainly this was the case with the local men who are to produce "The Sleepy King" shortly. Th e opera was written by George V. Hobart, while the music was provided by Conterno, but after the piece was put in rehearsal it was found to be hopelessly "thin." A good company was secured, but even their best efforts failed to make the thing go, and heroic measures were determined upon. Claude Madden was called in to provide a new orchestration. Then he went to work on the musio itself. In collabora tion with Oscar F . G. Da y he wrote a new opening chorus, retaining only a bar or two of the Conterno melody. Madden was then employed to go thru the whole piece, rewriting the music wherever he thought necessary. The book, too, seemed to require nu - merous alterations and Oscar Day turned out a chorus for which Grace Hay ward wrote the music a song with music by George Koehler, another local man, andof another song fitted to Conterno's meas ures, several other lyrics and portions of lyrics which were used to bolster up the piece. Arthur Berg of St. Paul also had a hand in the alterations, and contributed four songs. So that, in fact, "The Sleepy King" has become a thing of shreds and patches with quite as. much of the work of local men as of the liberettlst and composer whose names appear upon the program. When these radical changes were de cided upon, George V. Hobart at once Interposed a strenuous objection. H e finally agreed, however, that the changes ^night be made, provided no other name than his was used as author. So it is that the "Sleepy King" is still by Ho artistic barton the bills. Local bills next week: "The Sleepy King" and Kelcey and Shannon at themight Metropolitan "Two Little Waifs" at the Bijou "The Cherry Pickers" at the Ly - ceum World Beater/i at the Dewey. - The "independents" and the "trust" people are giving a continual perform ance of "Tit for Tat," which is amusing to the onlooker, and possibly diverting to the performers. The latest idea ema nates from the fertile Frohman, who has decided to vie with Weber & Fields in burlesque. Bobbie Burns wrote something a long time ago relative to "seeing ourselves as ithers see us," but that does not do forhe the theatrical conqueror. Mr. Frohman will reverse the old saw and have us see successful, plays as the writers see them. For instance, when one of Bar rie's plays makes "a hit, a hit, a pal pable hit," the author himself will wrife the "skit" upon it which will be produced as a curtain raiser at Daly's. Some doubting critic has ventured to suggest that the so-called big writers may be lacking in the sort of flippant wit which goes to makeia burlesque amusing, but in the mind of the originator of the idea there is nothing but the most placid con fidence,in its success. The Garrick theater, in Chicago, for merly the Dearborn, opened its doors to the public last week under new manage ment, with a musical comedy, "A Girl From Dixie." The book of the new offer ing, which was produced here for the first iime on any stage, is by C. Hodgson and H. B. Smith, the music being the combined efforts of twelve composers, ^Messrs. Victor Herbert, Cole and Johnson, Manuel Klein and Ludwig Englander .among them. . The songs are for the most part pleasing and range from plantation melodies to conventional trifles reminiscent of current hits. Good bits of character acting are contributed by Arnold Daly, Ferdinand Gobtschalk and George Schiller. The plot is erratic, opening in a country school in '.Maryland, where the future heiress about whom the story is woven, is introduced and is being sought by an English lord. /The other scenes are a woman's college i campus and a ballroom where prepara tions for the marriage of the principals are in progress. ,. ' The Garrack with its fresh decorations in white and gold, new upholstery, bright carpets and a few architectural changes, made an auapiclous debut and its initial , offerings were well and vociferously re ceived by an audience that taxed the seat ing capacity of the house. ' t The week now drawing to a close has been the most important, theatrically, of the new season. It has- been signalized by the production in New York of Stephen - Phillips' poetical drama, "Ulysses," in , which Tree failed in London, but which bids fair to be successful upon this side. Other interesting openings were provided by John Drew, who produced a play founded upon Anthony Hope's story of ..'.'Captain Dieppe" Charles Hawtrey in './'The-Man From Blankley's," and Weber ,'& .Fields, who presented their new bur- JesQue, "Whoop-Dee-Doo." Mrs. Fiske re vived "Mary of Magdala," in which she was eminently successful last year, and Blanche ,Bates reoccupied the Belasco the- jiWr,' with her Japanese drama, "The jParlihg of the Gods." ""Ulysses" is comprised in a prologue and three acts, and is written, for theduction "--most part, in blank versenot such sonor ous, stately, and splendid blank verse as ,that of Tennyson, in his "Ulysses" and B"Lucrotius," and not such maejstlc dic fftion as that of Matthew Arnold, in his j"Merope" and "Empedocles," but such as is prompted by occasion and produced by - expert artistic labor, and such as answers Whiskey and Beer Habit t SATURDAY EVENING, a useful purpose on the stage. Most of the modern bards who revert to classical themesthat is to say, the themes of Gre cian and Roman mythologyare artificial. Mr. Phillips is essentially so, the scenes of his "Ulysses" being those of uninspired, mechanical contrivance, and the language of it beingtho occasionally eloquent and fervidformal with obvious art. The au - thor's development of his story, however, provides abundantly for scenic display, and this is an attractive element of the drama. A t the beginning there is a pic ture of Olympus and a synod of the gods, and the Thunderer grants Minerva's prayer that her chosen hero shall be rescued , from the siren and restored to his kingdom. Then, presently, follows a picture of the temporary infatuation of Ulysses, in Ogygia the Isle of Calypso, and to this, after his release by Hermes, is appended a prospect of his transit thru the horrors of the under-worlda perilous and afflictive progress, commanded by Jove and made by the hero in expiation of his fault. A t the last he is shown in his disguised return to his domain of Ithaca, where he discomfits his enemies and happily embraces his son Telemachus and his constant, affectionate, noble wife, the heroic Penelope. Mrs. Fiske's engagement is limited to four weeks. The brief season will be devoted principally to the presentation of "Mary of Magdala," but Mrs. Fiske will also give a few performances of Ibsen's "Hedda Gabler," In which her admirers long have desired to see her. The revival this powerful drama will be one of the most important artistic events of the dramatic season. , What an incubus a comic reputation is I It has saddened the life of many a hapless wit and barred the progress to dignity of many an ambitious actor. Motley is per ilous wear, harsher than sackcloth, hate fuler than prison stripes, when It does not fit the mood. They are telling curious stories of the mishaps that befell Miss May Robson, who is making earnest efforts to be taken seri ously in her personation of Queen Eliza beth in "Dorothy Vernon of Haddon Hall," now going thru rehearsal. For years Miss Robson has been identified with exagger ated comic types in farce and comedy, and her characterizations have been real creations. A s Tilly in "The Hoop of Gold," as Emily in "Nerves," as the henpecking wife in "The Billionaire," she has been laughed at by thousands, who find great difficulty in forgetting those clever absurdities. The eccentricities of Queen Elizabeth appeal strongly to Miss Robson, and she thinks to make of that impersonation the triumph of her career. Bu t her fellow players are not disposed to grant dignity of any sort to her. Mark Twain suffered a similar experi ence. H e found that he could do noth ing serious/ but needs must, be funny. The public would have it so. However, Twain is a man of expedient. H e pub lished ''Jeanne d'Arc" in the Century un der an unfamiliar nom de plume, and, as himself expressed it, he succeeded in "fooling 'em." Possibly had Miss Robson been presented as plain Miss Smith or Miss Brown, she might not have had to contend with her reputation. Joseph Holland, who created the role of Captain Redwood in "Jim the Penman," is to have a leading part in E.. W. Hom ing's burglar play, "The Amateur Cracks- man." Liebler & Co. thought that it would be a capital idea to transplant the role of Captain Redwood to the new piece and have Holland play it. The idea was all right, but from across the ocean there came a protest from the heirs of Sir William Young. They employed a lawyer and the* affair promised to result in a legal tangle, when Liebler & Co. put an endin to the'troulbe by changing the name of the character to Captain Bedford. It was a new wrinkle to Liebler & Co. to learn that the name of a character in a play was protected" by copyright. The differ ence in the name wan't make any differ ence ih the enactment of the role, so that it is hard to see what the playwright's heirs gain by the squabble. Miss Percy Haswell's starring tour ih "The Favor of the Queen," will begin in Annapolis next month. While "The Favor of the Queen" will be the principal ve - hicle Miss Haswell will use on this star ring tour, she will also have in readiness "Romeo and Juliet," and should she this in connection with "The Favor of the Queen," which is written about the first production of "Romeo and Juliet," it would be a noVel blending of the genius of Shakspear with the genius of a modern writer of marked individuality, Roy S.himself. Sensabaugh, who wrote the new play. "The Fisher Maiden," a comic opera in two acts by Arthur J. Lamb and Harry Von Tilzer, is built around a pretty girl named Marjory, who is to be married by the 19th day of June, the time the opera opens. After being pressed by her suitors, she confesses that at the age of 3 she fell in love with an old sea dog, whose picture she still cherishes. Sir George Gilding ar rives on the scene, having heard there was to be a wedding, and since his doctor pre scribed a wedding for him, he is annoyed to learn that Majory will not wed other, than her old love Bill Bobstay, the sailor aforesaid. Sir George induces a, young sailor to make upas Bobstay, and Marjory is about to wed the impostor, but is prevented by Maydee, a South Se a Islander, who claims Bobstay deserted her years ago. Many complications follow, with the usual happy ending. At last an excuse has been found for the "souvenir" postal card. When . the stage manager at Daly's theater com menced to prepare his stage for the pro of "Three Little Maids" he found himself quite without plans of the scenery or picture of the production to help him. A s is not uncommon, the Eng lish managers had failed to send over the necessary data. Mr. Hawkes, Charles Frohman's representative in New York, remembered, however, that he had a sou venir postal card of the play, showing the Permanently Cured by ORRINE Physicians pronounce drunkenness a disease.of the nervous system, creating a morbid craving for a stimulant.- Continued indulgence iorgans n whiskey,normal beer or w!nat eats away the stomach lining and stupiflecs the digestive organs* thus destroyings the digestion and ruining the +w* IXSS ^n i eman etn5,lyn t lhealth3. removes the craving for liquor by acting directly on ?? 1 d 6r VPvr' f res g th tions improving the^ appetite^ and restorln g the health.

From this card the entire preliminary preparations were made, and the stage was ready for re - hearsals when the company arrived. If you can judge by the crowds of ao tresses that swarm Into the Knickerbock er theater building, New York city, where between twenty and thirty big managers have their' offices, there must be at least 100 actresses for every position. They stand int long lines In front of the mana gers' offices from early morning until late at night, and day after day you see the same faces. When, by good fortune, one of them gets an engagement, the word goes along the line and acts as a stimu lus to tho hopes of the others. These are actresses who belong to the "legitimate." In the average dramatic production there are three times as many men as there are women, but there are certainly three times as many men as there are women in the profession as there are men. What stories of disappointed hopes and faded ambitions could be told, by the women who dally haunt the managers* offices and theatrical exchanges, seeking positions. Bu t they cling on with a per sistency worthy of a more appreciative calling. With the girl who can fill a part in mu - sical comedy there is a different story to tell. Salaries were never better and chorus girls were never in such demand as at present. Th e managers of these productions are securing the highways and byways for pretty girls who can make even a p^tense at singing. One firm of managers has established a school for chorus girls, where tuition is free and di plomas in the shape of pink contracts are given upon the completion of the course. "World Beaters" at the Dewey. Among the leaders of the light extrava ganza companies which have toured the country the past five seasons may be men tioned that high-class organization, the World Beaters company, which comes to the Dewey theater next week. This com pany played to crowded houses every where it appeared last season, and de lighted all who witnessed its splendid entertainments. This season the com pany is stronger and better equipped than ever, and its performances sparkle with novelties. There are forty people in the ensemble, which numbers some clever comedians and a score of handsome bur lesquers, and Manager Mack has pro vided all the essentials for them to pre sent the brightest and breeziest form of entertainment. They have had up-to-date burlesques written with a view to fitting the members of the company with con genial roles, and so constructed that the chorus of pretty girls can have full swing for their talents. The burlesque will be staged with beautiful effects. The first part is entitled "Frolics at the Fair," or "A Trip to St. Louis and Wonderland," and is a breezy burletta with bright and snappy dialogue, funny situations, good specialties and tuneful melodies. The olio presents some of the best en tertainers in the business: The Three Nudos, a troupe of trained aerlallsts Tom Waters and Major Nowak Dorsch and Russell, original musical comedians Bo - hannon and Corey E d Sanford, a ver satile comedian, late of the Burgomaster company Rogers .and Hilpert the Prince ton Sisters, and May Gveb,hardt, the viva cious burlesquer. The closing burlesque, "The Country Sports," abounds in bright hits on the foibles, of the day. . in b e Siven secretly if de - "Lam satisfied that drunkenness is a dis ease and the worst in the world* 'ORR- INE,' in my opinion, will cure any case if taken as. you direct.

Grace Blliston Is to be Richard Mansfield's leading woman this season. She has done excel lent work as Bonita In "Arizona" and last season in support of Henry Miller la "The Tain irig of Helen." James IC. Hackett has opened the season in the romantic play, "John Brmine of the. Yel lowstone." This is a play by Janies Evan Ship man, founded on Frederic Remington's novel of the same name. The independents have invaded Indianapolis and are to have a new $250,000 theater In that city. Arthur Byron is to star this season in a revo lutionary play, entitled "Major Andre." In his company will be Guy Bates Post, well known in Minneapolis. We have had a play on Nathan Hale, and Andre, it is said, was not such a bad sort of a chap after all. David Belasco built a new portico for the of his theater with "The Darling, of the Gods." It is a most elaborate portico with bay trees beneath lattice work of bronzed iron, but its lighting is the feature of which the author manager is proudest. He expects it to outshine everything else in Broadway and has patented the lighing device to be sure of keeping it to The light comes from seven huge balls of prismatic crystals in each of which is the patented electric lamp. To the list of unknown daughters of well known fathers who have recently gone on the stage is added Miss Edith A. Pond. She is the daughter of Major James B. Pond, who managed the lecture tours of Henry Ward Beecher, Henry M. Stanley and other celebrities. Little Millie James, whose face, figure and natural manner recall Lotta, is accused of a wish to play adventuresses. This is only one version of a story as old as the stage. Your born comedian languishes for lack of opportunity and eucouragement to play Hamlet your trage dian and your romantic actor wearily sigh for the roles of gayety and berate the fates that miscast tbem. Now comes this dainty Millie the apotheosis of the ingenuouswith a mad de sire to cut up as the sophisticated worldling. No wonder that managers have difficulty in .prc&ervlug the balance of things1 Boston has had its first view of "Nancy Brown," which Marie Cahill produced at the Hollis Street theater. The performance was hindered by a strike of theatrical mechanics, brought about by Rich & Harris refusing to recognize the union. "Mis3 Petticoats." a dramatization of the novel by George T. Richardson, was produced at the Boston theater by Katheryn Osterman. Harry B. Smith, the librettist, is writing the libretto to Victor Herbert's score that will be the medium of Fritz Scheff's debut as a star in light opera. Clyde Fitch has put the air brakes on, banked fires and reduced steam. He took almost all the summer to write "Her Own Way" for Maxine Elliott. The work was accomplished while Mr. Fitch was staying at Taormina, in Sicily, on the border of the Mediterranean, under the shadow, so to speak, of the ruins of the magnificent Greek amphitheater. Describing the play to a friend, he said: "It is on the order of "The Climbers,* but not so 'fancy' and without 'functions.' " With a characteristic touch he added: "I hope it's splendid. There's no harm in hoping." J. Comyn Carr has practically concluded nego tiations with Mr. Willard by which his drama in verse, "Tristram and Iseult," will be" pro duced during the actor's coming season at the St. James theater in London, and later by Mr. Wil lard on his American tour. Mr. Carr. has also completed and delivered to Mr. Tree the version of "Oliver Twist" which Is to be produced at His Majesty's, and Sir Charles Wyndham has on hand Mr. Carr's rendering of "La Chate laine," which will be seen at the New theater after the run of "Mrs. Gorrluge's Necklace" is over. Henry Miller and Margaret Anglin have been so successful in their special San Francisco sea son that they will play in all the principal cities on the Pacific coast and the northwest be fore working back east. -Much curiosity has been excited bv the titlo of the new Esmond play, "Fools of Nature " which Julia Marlowe Is to play this seaso'n. Some light is thrown upon the application of it by this speech of one of the characters. "Fools of nature, all the lots of us, ev,en the best: touch us on the raw and what are we? Btraws on a current." And the contention in reply as voiced by the character taken by Miss Marlowe "Fools of Nature! What a cowlrdly creetf! We can control our passions if we like. We're stronger than the bad instincts in us. We oan go straight if we want to: We can rule our selves not only for ousr ownn sake, but foir the sake of useopening around us." r^eert T^ ? Wi a 5 ha The real heroines of every day are in our nomes. Frequently, how- ever, it is a mistaken and useless heroism. Women seem to listen to every call of duty except the supreme one that tells them to guard their health. How much harder the daily tasks become when some derangement of the female organs makes every movement' painful and keeps the nervous system unstrung? Irritability takes, the place of happiness and amiability - and weakness and suffering takes the place of health and strength. As long as they can drag themselves around, women continue to woik aad perform their household duties. They have been led to believe that suffering is necessary because they are women. What a mistake! The use of Lydla E. Pinlcham's Vegetable Compound "will banish pain and restore happiness.
