Are You Hen?
Are you men with conscience or shame
That your souls can be bought for a song?
Are you cowards that dare not proclaim
That you stand for the right against
wrong?
Are you slaves that you aid to defeat
The foes of the gold-gutted host?
Are you dogs that you fawn at the feet
Of the men that have spurned you the
most?
The street car boys have been
promised that their wages will be re­

The Duluth postoffice employes
will give a dancing party at the
Armory on the evening of Nov. 20.
It is expected it will be a very
pleasant occasion. They invite
their friends to participate.
The Woodworkers' ball at the
Armory Thursday evening was a
very pleasant affair. About 150
couples were in attendance. Ex­
cellent music was furnished by
Hoare's orchestra.
Sans Gene in English.
The English version of Sar
dou's Napoleonic comedy Mme.
Sans Gene will have its first
production in this city at the
Lyceum Monday and Tuesday,
Nov. 9 and 10. The great suc­
cess of this masterpiece of
French comedy, when played
in the original has justified its
translation into English for the
benefit those who have hereto­
fore been prevented from en­
joying the play owing to their
lack of knowledge of the French
language. The plav is said to
have lost nothing of its
strength or of the human in­
terest in the translation Mme.
Sans Gene is partly a drama of
intrigue and partly a drama of
character. The intrigue turns
on Napoleon's jealously of his
Empress, .Marie i^ouise, and
the victim of his jealously is
Count DeNeipperg. Neippperg

play, and he is only saved from
the wrath of the Emperor by the

sudden discovejy of the Em­
press' innocence at the end of
the play. Sardou very cleverly
tells his story, without bring­
ing Marie Louise on the stage.
The most intensely interest­
ing part of Madame Sans Gene,
however, is the story of the
woman who gives the drama
its title. As "Catherine Hub
scher the laundress," she is a
mirth loving kind hearted girl.

woman of the laundry beauti­

contempt for the gorgeous
meanness about her, so arouses
Napoleon, that he commands
her husband to divorce her.

But her humor, her shrewd
good sense,and her enthusiastic

elements that have gone to the
making of the Empire, win the
Kmperor finally to an apprecia­

The title role will be carried
by Miss Kathryn Kidder while
Augustus Cook will play the
part of Napoleon.
The play has two aspects.
First, there is a picture of Paris
in the heat of Revolutionary
times. Paris as it appeared
on August 10, 1792 when the
last blow to the Bourbons was
dealt. The picture is vivid and
full of life, cannonading, love
making, wine drinking, and
death go on and make up a
sort of a joyful chaos, Sardou
has shown all the factors in
the picture from "Catherine
Hubscher's" laundry in the
Rue St. Anne. The second part
of the play is less vivid and
more deliberate, and presents
the court of Napoleon at the
zenith of his power. A dynasty
has been evolved from anarchy.

gowns the men are brilliant
in gold and lace they move
about amid a carefully elabor­
ated luxury there is a beauti­
ful surface to all things with

The play is promised with all
the original scenery and effects
used during its run of 150
nights in New York.
