Perfection in assembling is promised for the Orpheum bill of next week. An analysis of the offerings indicates that the bill will just suit local audiences both in detail and ensemble. Head ing the bill will be Mme. Slapoffski, prima donna soprano. Then there will be two most a/ti3tic and skilful gym nastic acts, of the kind over which Or pheum audiences become most enthu siastic an acrobat comedy act, a high class musical act, an excellent sketch some comedy kinodrome picturesand a monolog by William Tomkins, fa vorite son of local Elkdom. Mme. Slapoffski is but lately returned from a three years' tour of Australia and a short concert tour of New Zea land and the Hawaiian islands. Her tour of the Orpheum circuit commenced at San Francisco and has been one suc cession of triumphs. Altho Russian in name, Mme. Slapoffski is English, and was for nine years in stellar roles with the famous Carl Rosa opera company. She has a repertory of forty-two op eras, ranging from "Tannhauser" to "The Fortune Teller," and sixteen oratorios. She will sing Balfe's I Dreamt I Dwelt in Marble Halls," Gounod's "Flower Song," from "Faust," Har ris' "I'm Trying so Hard to Forget." High art in acrobatics will be exem- plified in the revolving ladder act of Delmore and Lee, "modern athletes" in every respect, from beautiful and elaborate scenic effects to deeds of daring that make the audience shiver and come to see the act a second time. The saxaphone is said to resemble the human voice more than any other instrument. Klein, Ott Brothers and Nicholson appear in a novel saxaphone quartet. They also introduce a zylo phone duet, cornet duet, cornet quartet and organ chime of sixty bells and a slide cornet quartet. Heeley and Meelv have an eccentric comedy act in which Meely introduces his extraordinary acrobatic work. Wil liam Tomkins is a monologist, the "sense of nonsense." Apollo is a per fectly formed young man, who thinks nothing of somersaults and handsprings on the bounding wire. The kinodrome rehearses the comedy, How Jones Lost His Role." An extra attraction will be the first appearance here in vaudeville of May VoK.es, the character comedienne, who originated the role of the awkward servant girl in "Checkers." This cre ation has been transplanted to vaude ville a sketch called "The Model Maid." Bijou"For Fame and Fortune." "For Fame and Fortune," the play in which Terry McGovern has made the success of his life, will be presented at WILLIAM TOMKINS, The Orpheum monologist, formerly of &U Paul, who will be honored by brother Xfflta Monday night. &%&i ^a^^ 3&Jf -9W-**? ^x^-ttrf^Jk the Bijou next week. It is the simple story of the life of Terry McGovern and seems to have reached the heart in a manner never before equaled by any play offered by a pugilist. It could quite as well be called The Love Story of a Champion," for it deals with Terry's courtship and marriage. Rose McGovern, Terry's wife, is hia leading lady and they play the scenes AFTER THE WEDDING, A Scene from "Tess of the D'urbervllles," to Be Presented at the Metropolitan Tomorrow Night by Florence Roberts and Company. of their courtship in a way to make one forget he is watching a play. In the action of the play, there is one of the few authentic reproductions of a championship boxing bout ever offered. The battle between McGovern and Pedler Palmer (played by Johnny Bur dick), was rehearsed to its last detail from the moving pictures taken at the fight. Not only has it been possible to reproduce the fight in this manner, but every preliminary move, from the time the first man entered the ring until Mc Govern left it a victor. As a lad, McGovern worked in a lum ber yard in Brooklyn. His work was hard, his pay light and his future ob scure, when one day he discovered in the person of the bully of the ward in which he lived a rival for the hand of the girl he liked best of all. They fought for her a fight unequal in that McGovern weighed some twenty pounds less than his rival,' but as no man has ever been known to insist on a weight clause when a girl is at stake, so it was with little Terry. He beat that bullv to a pulpbeat him every round in boxing, slugging, roughing and every department of the game. It was that grudge fight which brought McGovern into notice as a fighter for bantam weight honors. Thus it was thit Ter ry's wifeor the gnl who later became his wifewas responsible for his first battle and thru that his later ones. Mr. McGovern is supported bv a good com pany, including Clara Joel, Johnny Burdick, Fred Backus. Sam Haverly, Queenie Phillips, Charles Grade. Lew Reynolds, Sidney Lee, Sadie Gill and others. LAWRENCE GRATTAN,. As Romeo, at the Lyceum, Next Week. Lyceum"Romeo and Juliet." "Romeo and Juliet," the greatest and sweetest love story ever written, will be the Lyceum offering for the coming week, with Miss Eva Taylor, the talented new leading lady, as the fair daughter of the Montagues, and Lawrence Grattan as the type of ro mantic lovers of all times. So many masters of criticism and analysis have devoted their pens to this wondrous love tragedy, that the ''iffi- culty of selection is one of deciding which of the many to use. The follow ing, from Mrs. Jameson's "Character istics of Women," is a sketch drawn con amore of the marvelous construc tive beauties of this play: Romeo and Juliet are not poetical be ings placed on a prosaic backgroundbut every circumstance and every personage, and every shade of character in each tends to the development of the sentiment which is the subject of the drama. The poetry, too, the richest that can possibly be conceived, is interfused thru all the charactersand the whole is righted up into such a sunny brilliancy of effect as tho Shakspere had really transported him self into Italy and had drunk to intoxi cation of her genial atmosphere. How truly it (has been said that "altho Romeo and Juliet are in love, they are not love- sick.'/ What a false idea would any thing^ of the mere whining amoroso give us of Romeo, such as he really is in Shaksperethe noble, gallant, ardent, brave ajid witty. 4nd Julietr--with even less truth could the phrase or idea apply to her. The picture in "Twelfth Night'' of the wan girl dying of love, "who1 pined in thought, and with a green and yellow melancholy," would never surely occur to us when thinking on the enamored and impassioned Juliet, in whose Jiosom love keeps a fiery vigil, kindling tenderness irfto enthusiasm, enthusiasm into pas sion, passion into heroism. In the play THE^MINNEAPOLIS JOURNAL. April 8, we have Indeed the struggle of love against evil destinies and a thorny world the pain, the grief, the anguish, the ter ror, the despair the aching adieu, the pang unutterable of parted affection, and rapture, truth and tenderness trampled into an early grave, but still an Elysian grace lingers round the whole, and the blue sky of Italy bends over all. Much may be anticipated from Miss Taylor as Juliet. Eastern critics have pronounced her impersonation a fine one, and of compelling interest and fervid sweetness, and her work in "When Knighthood Was in Flower" has demonstrated how fully she fu/s herself and her art into each phase of the part she-is playing. Lawrence Grattan has played Romeo many times, and tho Minneapolis has never seen him in the part, favorable words which have come here from other places, and the obvious accordance of his person, voice and acting to young romantic roles, justifies m0 predictions. favorable DeweyBowery Burlesquers. A French modist, a baron, his wife, a boulevard chansonette, an American alderman, his wife, and two daughters, and a Hebrew and German anarchist, are the principal characters in a musi cal melange which, under the label of "The Gay Modist," will furnish the merriment at the Dewey next week. The fact that the offering is lavishly sprinkled with the principal Parisian flavors, frivolty, beauty, femininity and delicacy, makes The Gay Modist'' a capital attraction for burlesque houses. An abundance of really funny situa tions with endless complications woven into realistic scenes, sparkling glimpses into the life of tho bon ivants and the Bohemian set, cupids, right and left handed games and snaps of the extreme gayety, for which the French are well known, pass in kaleidoscopic rapidity before the eyes of the audience. "The Gay Modist," hypnotizing and mag netic, is like a good disbf you are bound to ask for more. Those who come hungry with an appetite for something delicate and gingery will find real nourishment in the menu of merriment. An amusing little curtain raiser and a number of prominent vaudeville fea tures belong to the strongholds of the production and the Bowery Burlesquers, whose name on the road is as glittering as the rays of the sun, promise to come "with the goods" once more. The Taylor trio, Watson and Barrett, Ben Jansen, Davenport Brothers, Belle IMtt it iifcWSU' Veola and De Arcos, in a number of in-, teresting, novel and highly amusing specialties, thirty beautiful and fascinating girls, most elaborate gowns, fairy-like scenery, many novel light ef fect's and color schemes all entwined into a majestic offering, place "The Gay Modist" in the foreground of bur lesque attractions. UniqueVaudeville. Altho the entertainers at the Unique theater the past week have set a high standard, the management announces that the bill for the coming week will be equally strong. It is headed by Coie Frances Bower, the wonderful Cali fornia contralto, who made such a pleas ing impression a month ago. Miss Bower claims to be the only singer be fore the public who can sing and sus tain twenty-five notes. Her tones from flat to A below are rich, velvety and sympathetic. She will be heard in operatic selections. Others on the bill will be the Roberts four in an operatic comedy sketch, "The Dollmaker's Dilemma" the Geromes, two finely developed men, in tableaux posing imitation of famous Grecian and Roman statuary Oukura, Japanese novelty juggle1"* De Noye and Ward in a comedy sketch entitled A Hobo's Hungry Day," introducing clever acrobatic dancing and Pvlc La Pine in illustrated songs. The feature of the moving pictures will be "The Capture of 'Yegg' Bank Burglars.'* The cracking of a bank is shown, the pursuit and escape, and the subsequent lively adventures of a detective who tracks the gang to a resort in the city. UNDERLINED ATTRACTIONS Metropolitan. An attraction far above the average run- of musical offer ings is The Yankee Consul,'' the star ring vehicle provided for that unctuous comedian Raymond Hitchcock, by Hen ry W. Savage. This production, with a brilliant supporting company and an elaborate pioduction, will open Thurs day, April 20. In this vehicle Mr. Hitchcock was the attraction at the Broadway theater, New York, for five months last season, and he has also ap peared in extended engagements in New York, Boston, Chicago and Phila delphia this season. The opera is the work of Henry M. Blossom, Jr., and A. G. Robyn. Orpheum.For the week commencing April 16 come Emmett Corrigan & Co. in an original mirth-provoking sketch, "Jockey Jones" Willy Zimmerman, the great Hungarian impersonator of well-known composers and directors Charles H.

For arch-villainy and blackness of soul it can be compared favorably with any real bad man ever put on* the stage. The character is a Hindu known as Dr. Sals ya. While the doctor is a man of intel lect ancl polished in bearing and man ner, he has a cruel heart. He possesses all the, secrets of eastern' mysticisn. and makes sordid use of his knowledge. An other strange character called "Hand some Charley" is a helpless tool of the Hindu. Unique.The week of April 17 will bring a genuine novelty in Farmer Jones aWd his trained barnyard pets. Mr. Jones is no stage farmer. He was an honest tiller of the soil who trained his pigs, ducks and geese to perform tricks from sheer love of animals. Some one induced him to forsake the farm for the vaudeville stage, and he is said to present an* act that is an entire novelty. He is a firm believer that the pig, not the horse or dog, is the most intelligent of animals, and says he can prove it, "gol-darn it." FOOTLIGHT FLASHES.

"Everyman" Coming ta the Auditorium for a Week Who are the Ben Greet players and what is a morality play and what is the plot of "Everyman"?, are ques tions which many people will be ask ing, now that it is announced that for the week of April 24 Mr. Greet will present "Everyman" at the Audito rium. Mr. Greet is an English gentleman of education and rjipe culture, of high standing as an actor, who has gath ered about him a group of men and women of kindred spirit, who have such an ideal of dramatic art that they are willing to keep every role in their plays subordinate to the harmonious impres sion of the whole. Artistic unity and perfection of detail are the dramatic platform of this company. Three years ago, such conservative and careful English sheets as the Lon don Times and the Saturday Review were vying with each other in unprece dented praise of the revival of the medieval play, "Everyman," which Mr. Greet and his players had just SCENE FROM THE OLD MORALITY PLAY, "EVERYMAN." At the Auditorium the week of April 24. resented at the Old Charter House of and in the Quadrangle of Uni versity college, Oxford. In 1902 the company came to America and began an unprecedented run in New York, fhat ilaying for 150 nights before audiences taxed the capacity of the largest theaters. IMlMmMMMIMIMtMtMMttllMMtlMimmMWtlWM Gus Thomas9 Here is the curious history of the peregrinations of the manuscript of Augustus Thomas' comedy, "The Earl of Pawtucket," in which Lawrence D'Orsay is to appear at the Metropoli tan soon. When Gus Thomas met D'Orsay for the first time at the Lambs' club in New York, he was so impressed with the Picadilly drawl, the Belgravian stride and the other earmarks of the howling upper-class British swell that stuck out all over the man that he at once became seized with the idea of writing a comedy around him that would give D'Orsay a chance to be his own proper self on the stage. Finding that D'Orsay was in Amer ica under contract to Charles Frohman, Thomas went to the manager with his bright idea. Mr. Frohman told him to go ahead with the play and paid him the $1,000 that is the first preliminary to securing a Thomas manuscript. When the comedy was finished, Charles Frohman and all of his play readers agreed that it would not do, and Thomas kept the 'script and the thousand and went sorrowfully away. Considerable local color marks the Orpheum bill for the coming week by reason of the presence of two artists who formerly counted the twin cities as home. William Tomkins, better known as "Topical Tomkins," os a monologist who in the past few years has played all the circuits with success. But it is not his professional success so much as his former residence in St. Paul that lends interest to his approaching visit. Tomkins lived in St. Paul for many years, held high office in the St. Paul lodge of Elks and was the mov ing spirit in all Elk shows in both cities. He was also prominent in Ma sonic circles/ local manager for Nelson, Morris & Co., treasurer of Lennon & Gibbons, and organizer and owner of the Minnesota State band.

Per haps as early as the ninth century it was the custom in England on such feasts as Christmas and Easter for the priests to act out very simply the story of the lesson of the day, either befo're the high altar or in a side chapel. As time went on, these little plays became more elaborate and there evolved the so-called mystery plays, of which there came to be whole cycles, embracing the dramatization of such stories from the Old and New Testament as were re lated by prophecy or retrospect to the mysterious redemption by the nativity, passion and resurrection of Christ. Following the mystery plays came the miracles, of similar character, based upon the miraculous lives of the saints. Last and most effective were the mor alities, in which moral truths were taught by the speech and actions of allegorical characters, which typified abstractly the virtues and vices. Of this last class "Everyman" is much the best play extant. The theme is one of universal appealman's re luctant obedience to the inevitable dread summons of death. The company is now playing to enormous audiences at the Studebaker theater, Chicago. Trials With "The Earl of Pawtucket MMWIMMM nimwmiintMitiiMiiiiiiiiirffTr Joseph J. Dowling, who has been ap pearing at the Unique the past week in a clever skit by Clay M. Greene called "The Sage-Brush Widow," with his wife, Myra Davis Dowling, dates back some in theatrical annals, just how far back ho says he is ashamed to tell. When the Ponce opera house was Min* neapolis' only theater, under the man agement of Colonel J. H. Woods, he appeared in "Nobody's Claim," in Which he starred for ten years.' So he is at least eligible to associate member ship in the Old Settlers' association. He tells this story of western* travel in those days.

There was a fusilade of revol ver shots, and then' two rude men with handkerchiefs over the lower portions of their faces entered the car, one at each end. The one at the forward end covered the passengers, while the other began to collect jewelry and pocket books. Dowlhrg hated to give up, but he didn't care to argue the matter. In his grip was a roll of stage money big enough to choke a cow. He managed to get hold of this, and, slipping a $20 gold certificate around it, handed it over with the air of parting with his last dollar. The robber's eye yy Recalling his dealings with Kirke La Shelle in the case of "Arizona," Thomas next offered the play to Mr. La Shelle. After reading and accept ing the play, Mr. La Shelle secured D'Orsay's release from Mr. Frohman, and, in' exactly sixteen days from date, the play had received its premier at the Madison Square Garden theater and had made the instantaneous hit that kept it on Broadway thru the winter and tho following summer. Which only goes to show how easy it is guess wrong about a play. This also brings to mind the exact parallel case of "Arizona," which passed thru the hands of Thomas, Frohman and La Shelle in the same way, involving also the transfer from Frohman to Thomas of another thousand dollars. The sad dest part of this "Arizona" story, however, was the sequel in which Mr. Frohman asked Mr. Thomas to write another "Arizona," whereupon Thomas handed out the historic failure known as "Colorado." It was to make up for this unhappy effort that Thomas wrote "The Other Girl" for Mr. Froh manhis latest comedy. a ly awaited by loeal Elks, who have planned to give him the gladdest kind of a hand Monday night, which will be "Elks" night. Three hundred and fifty St. Paul Elks and their friends have already secured seats for Monday night, the local outpouring will be even larger, and "Tommy" Tomkins has something coming to him. Sego Brodahl, who appears profes sionally as the last part of Heely and Meely, eccentric comedians, makes a more modest entrance, but is a native of Minneapolis, where he arrived in 1881.
