O ft i in* ^i- Ai mm .'A CLEAN MAN. Outside cleanliness is less than half Che battle. A man may scrub himself a dozen times a day, and S still be unclean. Good health means cleanliness W*7 not only outside, but in side. I means a" clean stomach, clean bowels, clean blood, a. clean liver, and new clean, healthy tissues and fi bers in every organ of the body. The man who is clean in this way will look it and act it. will work with energy and think clean, clear, healtjiy thoughts. will never be troubled with liver, lung, stomach or blood disorders. Dys pepsia and indigestion originate in unclean stomachs. Blood diseases are found where there is unclean blood. Consumption and bronchitis mean unclean lungs.

THE THURSDAY MUSICAL The annual open meeting of the Thursday Musical, held last evening in Plymouth church, was especially inter esting because of the number of the younger member's of that organization who were introduced to the large au diencfe formally. Among them were two musicians who have but just re turned from European study, and con cerning whom much interest had been evinced. The first of these, .Miss Agnes Lewis, sailgj- a group of three Scotch- ballads, which did not afford her the fullest opportunity to display, her vocal tech nique, but were doubtless more diffi cult to sing effectively than some more florid compositions. Miss Lewis has a mezzo voice, rather inelining'to con tralto, which she uses with unusual skijl ana* wlueft shows fine training. I is clear and pure in quality, altho not of large volume* 3 Miss Margaret Giltinan, a pupil ox Godowsky, played three nujpbers, in cluding Liszt's "Gn^menreieen" and the Chopin "Nocturne in G,' both fa miliar. The Strauss Sehuett, "Fleder maus' paraphrase completed the trio. Miss Giltinan show.ed an adequate tech nique, with a singing quality of tone, that was grateful. He playing was made less enjoyable, nowever, by un fortunate mannerisms.' Miss Edith Pearce sang "My HeaTt Is Weary," from Thomas' "Nadesh- da." a composition calling for* the most exacting work and amplitude of pow ers. That Miss Pearce sang it so well is to be wondered at. She haja a voice at once full, clear and dramatic, and with plenty of timbre. She* possesses a physique thatvwill prove a valuable asset in her musical career. She also possesses musical intuition and intelli gence, and with the "great labor with out -fbich there is no excellence," she has an alluring musical future. Miss Margaret Gilnior 'played a con cert piece' by Weber, making great de mands upon her technically, demands which she' more than .fulfilled. He technique is especially clear and crys talline, reminding one irresistibly or Adele aus der Ohe. Miss Eulalie Ohenevert played the orchestral parts on the organ, splendid ly. Mrs. Maud "Ulmer Jones and Mrs. Elizabeth Brown Hawkins both contributed interesting numbers, the latter singing the familiar "Pleurez, Pleurez, Me Yeux," from Massenet's "Le Cid," in French, while Mrs. Jones sang Elizabeth's "Dich .Theure Halle," from "Tannhauser," in Ger man. Both were recalled, and Mis Jones was obliged to respond with an encore number, one of Gertrude gans Souei^s ballads, for which Miss. Sans Souci played the organ accompaniment. The Misses Anna Witt Cook and Margaret Drew played Rubinstein "Kamennoi-Ostrow" as an organ and piano duet with fine effect. Miss Drew's work was very effective and Miss Cook secured fine results on the organ. Miss Helga Jensen played three violin numbers, the Godard "Berceuse" being the most enjoyable. The concert closed with a trio, Henry Smart "King Rene's Daughter," sung by the Misses Hall and Lewis and Mrs. Charles M. Lane'. I is a beautiful composi tion and as .tvell sung, but it added too much to an already overburdened program to ~be given that attention which it deserved. ~_ Howa rd Boardman.

A the Metropolitan next Thursday evening an all-new and up-to-date ver sion is promised of that most emphatic of modern successes, "The Wizard of Oz,'_' with Montgomery and. Stone. N musical extravaganza of recent ^origin has so completely taken America by storm. To say that "The Wizard of Oz" is an enduring hit is putting it mildly. Screams after screams of laughter, round after round of applause, encore after encore, reward the work of the immense score of people engaged in this representation. Such scenery and such costumes as are disclosed in "The Wizard of Oz" are rarely seen, even in these days of ultra-elaborate productions. Such a bevy of pretty girls could only be congregated by a stage disciplinarian like Julian Mitch ell. Such an amusing pair of four footed favorites aa the Cowardly Lion and the Skittish Cow could only have been secured by pillaging the foreign school of great European pantomimists. A a production "The Wizard of Oz" is in its entirety a genuine novelty.

The constant succession -oft beautiful stage, pictures, the gorgeous transition 6f the Poppy Field from sununer to winter, the wonderful electrical e,ffects and' the picturesque ensembles of the fourscore dashing beauties combine to make "The Wizard of Oz" a spectacle that enchants playgoers of all ages and all tastes. The ample feminine fascination of "The Wizard of Oz" is an important reason forth play's great suecess. Al lene Crater, Eeine Davies, Marion Stan ley, Helene Maye, Bert Dean and Therese vo Brune head the beauty brigade this season. Not only is the extravaganza alluring in its femininity, enchanting in its music, gorgeous in its succession of splendid stage pictures, but its humor has the flavor of novelty that would alone insure th# success of the play. The life and soul of "The Wizard of Oz" are the Ti Woodm%n and Scarecrow, most original concep tions that provide precisely #he right opportunities for grotesque character izations. So numerous are the encores that the management has been com pelled to announce the early rising of the curtain on the splendors of ''The Wizard of Oz" at 7:45 punctually for the evening performance, and 1:50 for the Wednesday matinee. The cyclone scene, which opens the play, is an illu sion well worth seeing, and altogether novel in niodern stagecraft. The en gagement is for half a week only. In selecting the company which will be seen at the Metropolitan for four nights and matinee commencing Sun day evening, Feb 4, in "George Ade's comedy, "The College Widow, Henry W. Savage received and examined hun dreds of applicants. Th play is one of' American types and each player was -selected with a view to his physi cal fitness to realize the role entrusted to him to portray.

"The College Widow" af fords an evening of fullest and rarest enjoyment. "The Serio-Comic Girl," a new com" edy with music, will have its first local presentation at the Metropolitan for three nights and matinee, epemng Thursday evenin" Feb. 8. Nellie Beau mont and Richard Carroll head an unusually strong cast, the former being seen in 'the dual role of governess by day, and serio-comic singer at night, the latter as an up-to-^date music-hall manager. The plot is sensible and, rea sonable and the situations and cli maxes are decidedly laughable. Orpneum "J Lillian Bnrkhardt, the pioneer of the dramatic sketch in vaudeville, has never been seen^in Minneapolis, owing to the fact that for the past three sea sons she has been in retirement, and her engagement as the headline feature at the Orpheum theater next week will, therefore, be in the nature of a novelty. Altho Miss Burkhardt is known as the Metropolitan v- v[ 7^/t-|' I wher she remains a month at a time, B.C.

Paffl Pouf!" was first produced at the New York Casino, where it enjoyed prosperity and uninterrupted success Jor eight months, or 285 performances, The production is made by C. Whitney, who has invested unlimited capital in the exploitation of this fa mous musical comedy. The story con cerns one August Melon, who cannot touch $2,000,000 left to him by his wife, .should he marry before his four daugh ters have foun'd husbands. As*the gay widower cruises along the sands of At lantic City for a wite, he meets the dashing widow, Lilian Montague, whom he considers his affinity. Im mediately they begin laying plans to et the four Molon girls married off. n*ui This situation leads up to a number of other amusing and flKeruciatitogly fun ny complications. Fired Mace assumes Eddie Foy's former part as Peter Pouf fle, the sandman, and Eoberf E Gra-' ham, a comedian of ability, enacts the character of August Melon, and the widow falls to Kathryn Osterman. Others in' the cast will be Nellie Hew ett, Fred Hornby, Lulu McConh'ell, Chas. A Morgan, Eveleen Dunsiribre, Harry Stuart, Gertrude Wallace, Martin Cheeseman, Lisle Bloodgood and others, including the famous "Pony Ballet," conceded to be the greatest octet of, dancing girls in the world, assisted by the American Beauty chorus compris ing the brightest, and prettiest singing, acring and dancing choruses ever organ ized, -i Among the principal song successes are the following: ""I'm the Ghost that Nev er Walked,'* "Love, Love, Love," "I'm So Happy," "Ching Ling Feng," "Only You," "Under the Goo Goo Tree," "Cordelia Ma- lone," "The Melancholy Sunbeam and the Eose," I Don't Want An^TWurtz burger," and "Dolly Dimple." the lady dainty of vaudeville'' from New York to Sa Francisco, the legitimate stage has had little to do wifh her career, and patrons of vaudeville will profit thereby.

Since "The Sal Cellar," Burkhardt has producedt one pieceMiss and sometiines two new playlets each season she has been on the boards.

A Padded Cell" is the rather gruesome title given a decidedly hilarious musical skit, to be presented by the Wilson Trio Frank, Eva and Jo e. They are singers whb can sing, and their warbling har mony includes the doing of "coon songs",in real German. The Bellclairs brothers are described as two of the most perfectly formed men ever "seen in vaudeville, and their feats of skill and strength a^e almost incredible. A pull up from a prostrate position on the floor to a hand-to-hand balance is only one of their many feats. Marvel ously graceful is the description given the Esmeralda sisters, and their dance, with their four flower girlB, is one of the daintiest and prettiest imaginable. They have a number of intricate steps, are clever in an acrobatic way and the whole act is prettily costumed and has the added charm of personal beauty. Personal beauty will also have large place in the number given by Paulo and Marlow, under the title, A French Frappe.'' I the opinion of many, Miss Marlow is one of the prettiest women in vaudeville, while Paulo is one of the nimblest of French dancers, and their act is ultra Parisian. Of all the female I impersonators who have achieved suc cess in their calling, Harry Claire stands alone as both an impersonator and satirist, and he has well earned his reputation for being "the Bernhardt of the vaudeville" and "the Duse of comic drama." differs in so many respects^ from other acts involving im personations as to give him the added advantage of individuality. Jack Ir win, monologist, and the kinodrome will complete the bill. The Boston Fadettes, the Marco twins, A Lawrence, Nelle FlQrede, Dixon and Fields, the Okabo Japanese troupe and Barnold's dogs and cats conclude a highly prosperous week this evening. Bijou- Fascinating, to say the least, is' the play of "Sherlock Holmes," which be gins a week's engagement at the Bijou tomorrow at 2:15 p.m. Written by Wilhani Gillette and introduced by him^ "Sherlock Holmes" has attained a wide reputation as one of the most thrilling and sensational melodramas ever staged, illustrating the character and methods of detection employed by the famous hero of Sir A Conon Doyle's stories. The first act opens at the home of the Larrabees, a beautiful mansion in the outskirts of Edelweis. Here Alice Faulkner is kept captive by the Lar rabees in order that she may divulge the hiding place of certain valuable papers. Sh is being put thru an awful ordeal when Sherlock Holmes appears on the scene and spoils the little game. The second act has* two scenes, the first being the underground office of Professor Moriarity. Here the plans are laid to get possession 4 the pa pers and capture Holmes. Th second scene shows Holmes' rooms on Baker street. Here he is visited by Professor Moriarity, who calls for tn purpose of killing him, but is outwitted in his scheme by Holmes and Billy, Holmes' (office boy The third act is the famous gas chamber scene, a large," grimy room on the upper floor of an ancient, rickety building. is in this scene that some of the. most startling electric effects are introduced. The last act reveals Dr. Watson's consulting room. I this act Moriarity- is captured by a clever scheme of Holmes', the missing papers are returned to their rightful owner, and all ends happily, Holmes himself being captured by the feir Alice Faulkner. The countless theater patrons who have followed the fortunes of this re markable play are doubtless convinced that W^dlliam Gillette wisely chose to consult Sir A. Conan Doyle concerning material for an interesting stage study. had evidently become aware of the intense fascination of the famous Sher lock Holmes series of detective ad ventures, and he was so enraptured, over the possibility of bringing to life the hero of this popular fiction that it was little trouble for him to. induce the gifted romancer to write a fresh, enter taining episode for dramatic" ends. I order to make a perfect job of it, how ever, it was necessary for Mr.GUlette to lend his facile pen to the work, and thus it happened that the Sherlock Holmes of the play reveajs those ro mantic phases of character which all human nature is heir to, and which are looked for in every well-regulated stage hero. Th cold, cynical impulses of the book detective have been perceptibly softened in the instance of Sherlock Holmes' surrender to the tender pas sion. The love element of his individ uality, which had lain so longjdormant, is suddenly aroused by the responsive ness of Alice Faulkner's heart, and it is thru this medium that one of the principal parties of guilt is shielded from responsibility. The story impli cating the 'woman in question is cer tainly a novel one, and the unfolding of it is fraught with a great variety i absorbing features, and affords ample occasion for the introduction of those comedy schemes for which Mr. Gillette is justly renowned. Additional general interested to the play is guaranteed from the effective scenic environment and the novel electrical conceits. Owing to the length of the play, the curtain will rise promptly at 8 #.m. and 2:15 p.m. Lyceum A notable production of "The Mas ter at Arms," romantic drama doaling with the glorious adventures of Do Cesar de Bazan, will engage the abili ties of Ralph Stuart and nis company at the Lyceum next week. This plav was prepared especially for Mr. Stuart by Miron Leffingwell, whom the actor credits with having caught the very spirit of the fighting, adventurous Do in the myriad escapades which marked his,career, in "The Master at Arms." How rich rn incidents to kindle the fancy of poet, romancer or dramatist are the prodigious deeds of valor, and courtship in which Do Cesar figured can only be appreciated by those fa miliar with the works of Victor Hugo, D'Ennery and Feval. There are a number of stage representations of this grand figure of romance, but Mr. Stu art believes he wears the best likeness of the famous swordsman and lover wljen he-appears as "The Master at Arms," a position of great dignity to which the-daring Do was elevated by King Charles of Spain. A the opening of the play Do Cesar, penniless and in rags, is known as Zafari-but "with hia ftftnj# untar nished. falls din love with Man tanna, a fcoor girl' who has been cheated of^ her estate, and compels Don Salluste, who is the guilty one, to make ample restitution. But living in days when men were "sudden and quick in quar- rel," Do Cesar violates a royal com mand by fighting a duel during car niv al week, and is sentenced to pay the penalty with his life. escapes and lives to frustrate a plot against the king's life, thus securing a pardon and a return to the royal favor. The play is replete with stirring incidents, altho the beautiful love story whicji threads it is the central theme. There is a vein of rare comedy also pervading the play and in this element Mr. Stuart achieves a-personal triumph. The play will be handsomely staged and the full strength of the company will be employed in the production. ,I will continue thruout the week with the usual matinees. Unique The Unique has secured a first-class vaudeville bill for next week, which in cludes three prominent acts new to Minneapolis playgoers. Th first is the new dramatic sketch of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Dowling entitled "The Sage brush widow." in which scenes and in cidents of tn far we st are depicted. The sketch affords ample opportunities for the display of the versatile talents of these clever people^ and is said to be one of the distinct hits of the season. The bill will also be found ve ry strong from the musician's point of view, in asmuch as the three Ban ta Brothers and Vondell, who have a standing in the best vaudeville houses on the circuit, are down for a fifteen-minute specialty. Their quartet work, solo numbers and all-around musical divertisement is said to exceed their clever musical me lange of last year. A act which never fails to arouse great interest is that of Albene and a Brant, mindreaders, whose feats of mental jugglery are as tounding. Their act is mystifying, or iginal, humorous and whoily diverting. The Juggling Parrotts claim to have im proved upon old methods, particularly in adding a spice of comedy to their skillful exhibition: A pretty act will Jbe contributed by Dollie Wells, a bright young woman who draws cartoons while the audience waits. Miss Wells will take liberties with some well-known people about town in her caricatures and promises to hav e* her audience's with ke after the first picture. Wells and Wells, in *a comedy musical act Harold Beckrow and Herman a Fleur in new illustrated songs and a new set of motion pictures, will complete the Unique's program. Dewey The Imperial Burlesquers, known by all for its catchline "As good as the best," will be the Dewey theater at traction for next week. The com pany this season is larger and better than ever before and with the new two-act comedy Harry Williams, au thor of "Tom, Dick ami Harry" and "The Belle of Aven ue A," and the large company of selected artists, the show should be Jione other than the name implies. A a special feature in conjunction with the Imperials are pre sented Charlie Neary, lightweight champion of the northwest, and his sparring partner, Eddie Toy who will give a scientific sparring exhibition at each performance. Among some of the other principal people are Lillian Wash burn, one of the fairest burlesque queens that ever appeared upon the stage: Miss Pauline Moran, and the Clipper Comedy four, Crawford and Manning, Lew Palmer and William T.
